About: My partner and I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. We carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We’re comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. Our focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. My specialty is organization and structure, my partner specializes in socialization and behavioral management. Pet care is part of our daily life. Someone is home throughout the day. We organize our schedule around the dogs in our care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. We have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside we provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place for them to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in our home or a client’s home, we focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. We follow established routines, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.
About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

About: I’ve been a cat mama since our family cat chose me as his favorite nap spot the day I came home from the hospital! I raised my next bestie from the day she was born until she crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve loved my Fiona for nearly 14 years. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication, accommodating quirky needs, and navigating sassy attitudes! I also grew up with a family dog and helped care for him while living at home and during college breaks. That included feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I bring patience and attention to each pet’s personality and routine, and I’m happy to learn all the little details that help yours feel comfortable and loved. I currently work freelance and have a very flexible schedule so my days are built around what bookings I have in a given week. Let me know what your needs are and we can work something out 🙂 Each visit comes will include a food, water and liter refresh plus treats, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I have plenty of experience with cats of all temperaments and will adjust care according to your instruction.

About: I love animals all kind especially dogs. My goal is to show extended love to your animal as my own. I am very professional when it comes to properly caring for animals. I understand that they are family members, and it can be difficult to be away from them, so I do my best to make both pet and human feel at ease. I walk dogs at owners discretion. I also like to run if you have a runner. It is my intention to make them feel safe, loved and their wants and needs are met. Dogs love play and I love finding out what their method of play is that lights them up. I love taking photos of your pets and sending regular updates. I also take care of plants, bring the mail in and maintain the safety and security of your home. I'll spend lots of time with your dog, fish, cats or birds and give them the love and attention they need. Morning walks Play time Hugs Treats! I work remotely and only part time so I will live with your pet as if they were my own. If they sleep with you, they can sleep with me. I love sleeping with them.:) I will walk your dogs, play with them and love on them. Change can be stressful so I try to meet them where they are and give them what they need. I try to meet them where they are and snacks. I'm also happy to water plants and bring in mail, etc.
About: Growing up with two dogs and two cats, I developed a lifelong love for animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’ve never met one that didn’t warm up to me. In addition to personal pet care, I have fostered dogs and cats, where I ensured they both received the exercise, attention, and care they needed to stay healthy and happy. For the past six years on Rover, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of pets, and I’ve learned that every animal is unique, it’s important to take the time to understand their individual needs and personalities. I pride myself on being reliable, organized, and an excellent communicator. I’ve never missed a booking, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated through detailed Rover cards, so you always know how your pet is doing. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks or visits at the time that works best for you. Most importantly, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I’m excited to meet both you and your pet, and I look forward to building a bond with them! I am currently a junior at Virginia Commonwealth University and have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for animals and making sure they receive the attention they need. Alongside my studies, I work part-time as a Housing Office Assistant, but spending time with pets is always the highlight of my week. I currently live in a house with three fellow students, and we share a fenced-in backyard as well as a gated front porch—both of which provide safe spaces for pets to enjoy fresh air and playtime. My home is welcoming, and I make sure that any pet in my care feels comfortable and secure, whether we’re indoors relaxing or outside getting exercise. I take pride in being respectful and responsible in every home I visit. I always make sure to clean up after myself and any pets in my care, maintaining a positive, safe, and clean environment for both pets and their owners. Clear communication is also a priority for me, I believe keeping owners updated and informed is the best way to ensure your pet receives the highest level of care possible and the best service possible for owners

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
