“Dora took great care of our pets and was quick to communicate and respond. Our pets enjoyed their time with her and we would definitely trust her to care for our pets again!”

About: I have plenty of experience caring for pets through pet sitting for multiple clients as well as family & friends. I’ve looked after both dogs and cats, and my responsibilities have included feeding, going on walks, administering medication, and spending quality time with them so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also cared for my senior dog until she passed away at 15. As she got older, she required a great deal of attention, patience, and hands-on care. That experience taught me how important it is to be gentle, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently a graduate student in an online program, which gives me a flexible and open schedule. I’m generally available on weekdays and weekends between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. I may also be available for evening care when our schedules align. This flexibility allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I give pets plenty of loving attention and aim to adapt to their needs & differences. I understand that every animal has a different personality, so I always respect their boundaries and give them the time and space they need to feel safe. My goal is to create a warm, calm, and comfortable environment where each pet can relax and be themselves. I also love keeping pets active and engaged through games of fetch, playtime, and nature walks. I’ve found that many dogs especially enjoy being outdoors, exploring, and getting plenty of time to release their energy and have fun.
“Kristen was fantastic! She was so kind, wonderful with our cats, left our home very clean and tidy, and she sent wonderful pictures. I felt so comfortable with her in our home and with our cats and would absolutely book with her again.”
“We are very grateful to Bryce and Nate for caring for our Stella! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter (aside from friends and family) and we were pleased with how well things worked out. Both Bryce and Nate are very friendly and Stella warmed up to them right away. From the get go the communication was great, and we felt confident that she was being well cared for. We will definitely ask them to help out again!”
About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old student at Southern Oregon University with a huge love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets and enjoy spending time outdoors, especially when it involves caring for dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to help keep your dog happy, safe, and active! 🐾 My work schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable pet care! I am able to provide pet care at any day or time of day. I have a safe and comfortable home with a fenced yard! I have no animals of my own but I will treat yours as my own!
“Vincent was fantastic with our doggies. We are so grateful to have found him to watch the dogs when we are going somewhere the dogs can’t come with. We would feel good about leaving our fur babies with him again. Thank you Vincent!”
“I had the pleasure of having Marion as our dog sitter while I was away, and I simply cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we met, she was incredibly lovely, helpful, and knowledgeable about dog care. It was clear that she genuinely cares for pets, which put me at ease knowing that my beloved dog and home were in such capable hands. Marion was diligent in her duties, ensuring that all of our dog’s needs were met. She was particularly attentive to his unique idiosyncrasies, which I greatly appreciated. I was also thrilled to see that she was able to walk him on a leash—something I had nearly given up on! Throughout my time away, Marion was an excellent communicator and sent me darling updates each day, which reassured me that everything was running smoothly. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with her service and would highly recommend Marion to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Marion, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family member!”
About: ABOUT ME 🦴 I’ve been on Rover for almost 3 years and I’ve loved all the animals I’ve met along the way. My main teacher has been my high-energy, high-drive Australian Sheperd/Heeler Squid! I’ve worked with him on reactivity, impulse control, leash training - you name it! We’ve made excellent progress and strides, and I’d love to share what he’s taught me with others. I only work with folks that center positive reinforcement (no prong or e-collars). I’d love to help with any leash training etc. that you’re working on, but I know the most important thing is to create an environment where your dog feels safe and well exercised while you’re away. 😊 I take my dog “Squid” out 3 times a day, often to trail run or play fetch. He’s a part of my life and travels with me everywhere that he’s allowed/safe. I am offering walking/running and drop in visits. No matter where I am, I follow the instructions of the pets owner. I’m interested in helping out people who’s dogs need some energy out like mine did!
“Austin was very professional and friendly. I felt comfortable leaving my elderly dog and home in his care and he did a wonderful job - lots of pictures and snuggles and walks. I came home to a clean house and a relaxed dog. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
About: I’m very attentive to the animals in my care, especially my fish, whose individual needs I’ve spent countless hours learning. I’ve also cared for dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. I love giving animals a happy, healthy life, and although my current housing limits the pets I can have, I look forward to spending more time with animals and providing them with loving care. I am currently in school(online), and so I have had a lot of free time on my hands. That is why my availability is wide open even on weekends. It would be my great pleasure to spend that time with beloved animals. I make sure to keep them well fed and well played with. Each of my pets have had different needs as well as different personalities, so i have learned to understand them individualy and really get to know them. I have also had practice with gaining the trust of rescued animals and practiced how to be gentle and calm, as well as helping them come out of there shell.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life, when I was younger I would rescue dogs off the street and get them well and made sure they were safe as I called family’s and shelters near us. I currently have a senior australian shepherd and 17 bunnies living in my backyard! I helped train 2 dogs ( a lab and a pit bull) for a family member in the last 4 years! I currently work a part time job which would give me plenty of time to care for your pet family! Outside of my job I love to hang out and enjoy the sun! I’ll make sure to care for your pet including playing, feeding, making sure there’s clean water, and cleaning litter boxes or the yard if necessary!
About: Grew up w/ small dogs and cats! All have been my favorite.😫 From bottle feeding week-old kittens to park-day trips, administering medication and probiotics. Baths for the pups are no problem, too! I am free twice a day at minimum for daily drops ins with optional extended bonding and play time, as well as weekend house sitting where your fur baby will be attended to for the remainder of the night! 🐾🐈🫶🏼 I use a baby gate as a “keep-out” tool if needed to be utilized in a specific area of your home. A provided crate for dogs that are destructive when left alone or in general would be appreciated!
About: I grew up around dogs whether it was at home, family members houses or friends houses. I have a lot of experience with dogs of every size. I was 10 years old when I got my first dog, Poppy, and learned everything I needed to know to care for her. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for a few years now and would love to care for yours. My dog usually accompanies me on longer stays if permitted. Pet care is very important and should always fit into any pet owner’s schedule so I have no problem fitting it into mine because they are family. Your furry family member will feel right at home in their own house so that should help keep any anxiety levels down while you are away and it will help with feeding, sleeping and bathing.
“We are very happy Madison agreed to watch our fur army in our home. Her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated on how they were doing and when we arrived back home, our house was very neat and tidy and our fur babies looked like they had a great weekend! We highly recommend Madison and we hope she will be available for the next time we have to go away!”
“Laura was wonderful! After meeting her we were very comfortable with leaving our two Shelties with her and having her stay in our home. It was a great relief to find Laura! She was very affectionate with our dogs and showed great attention to understanding the details of caring for them. She bonded with them immediately, and we are sure they missed her after we returned home. Laura stayed in touch while we were away and sent us some really great pictures. We recommend Laura without hesitation!”
“Kandice was prompt and took good notes when we first met. She asked great questions and was kind and responsible. While taking care of Freyja she was a great communicator, positive, and helped her feel cared for. I would definitely use her again.”
“Michelle was so experienced, communicative, and attentive. She went above and beyond, caring for our pups and paying attention to every detail. We arrived back to our dogs happy and healthy! She’s extremely comfortable and knowledgeable with animals who have different needs and energies. 10/10 would recommend and will book again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
This was my first time using Rover with our dog Daisy, (so was a little unsure how to use it) . I have always used family or friends to watch her when needing to leave town. I felt totally at ease once I met and talked with Shari. I was so relieved to know that Daisy (my little darling) was going to be in safe hands while I was gone. Shari sent pictures and was available if/when I had any questions or concerns. I certainly can recommend Shari, and will I will use her service again if needed in the future.
Matthew was an amazingly professional and caring sitter. I received continual updates with pictures. My dog was so well cared for. He went above and beyond to assist us including a last minute change and kept me abreast of all happenings. I trusted him with my girl and he amazed me with his connection and love for my dog. Highly recommend!
I was very happy with how well Benjamin cared for my dogs! He was an excellent communicator and sent daily photos, videos, and updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pups seemed happy, relaxed, and well looked after when I returned. Overall, I’d book him again for his attentive dog care and would recommend him to others who value good communication and happy, well cared for pups.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ashland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ashland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ashland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
