About: I’ve personally have two dogs and one cat, but taken care of many more. Puppies, potty accidents, senior dogs, grouchy cats. I love them all! Looking to gain more professional experience with different animal personalities. I am a former dog foster for the Richmond SPCA and Beagles & Bentleys. My availability is mostly open during the week, and fully open on the weekends. I will work any day of the week but would prefer advance request for weekend. My home has already been made pet friendly and has the space to accommodate 1-2 more pets (depending on size) as I do have two of my own. I like to get a sense of how the pet feels about his / my home to establish their level of comfortability and trust.

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

Elena is fantastic! We have two rescue doodles and one of them is scared to death of strangers. She was patient and kind to our pups, and Annie and Cooper took to her right away! We just love her and will definitely use her as a regular sitter!

About: I have had a dog around my house ever since I was a child. I have been trusted to watch family friends dogs for years and have also spent a year and a half working at a dog daycare. I am used to watching puppies as well and I also have a little experience training dogs to sit and do other basic commands. I currently work fully remote at my apartment. I am able to take your dog out multiple times a day and even have parks near by that I would be able to take them to to get some energy out. They have my full attention throughout the day! I have 1 super friendly lab that loves play time with other pups. So, if your pup comes over to stay, I am sure they would become best friends! If need be, I would be happy to watch your pup in your home as well! I am quite experience in house/dog sitting and have done it for quite some time.

About: I’ve always had an animal in my home and have helped take care of them. I walked neighbors dogs in my starting in middle school. I love to foster animals when I get the chance helping them find there future home that fits them! Pet care falls naturally into my schedule because I am currently on summer break not working another job. I have plenty of time to provide reliable care throughout the day. Every pet deserves to feel safe and comfortable while there owner is away. I will closely look at the information provided of the pet to insure I understand them and there routine.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and people in my community for several years now. I absolutely love dogs and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very reliable, good with routines, and instructions. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I do work a full time job during the week, but I have flexibility for midday let outs and am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and weekends! My schedule works best for pets that are okay being alone during part of the workday. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I always follow care instructions closely and try to keep pets on their normal routines so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

Tiffany has been nothing but amazing with my baby KANE!!! As a Nurse I have long shifts on the weekends and with Kane being a new member of my family I was super nervous about drop ins and strangers but Tiffany has eased all of the anxiety I had. I lost my mom in December and Kane was a gift from my son to keep me occupied so I won’t be so lonley and sad, I appreciate Tiffany for always being available for Kane just like I was always available for my mom. Thanks TIFFANY💜💜💜💜💜💜

About: I’ve had and taken care of many animals over the years. My main area of expertise is dogs, however I have two cats of my own and am well versed in caring for them. I also have experience with guinea pigs and Russian tortoises. I’m currently in college and my main focus is my education, so I’ll have plenty of time to drop in and give your pets some love and attention throughout the day. I have a dog park in my apartment complex, and my complex is very pet friendly. I am very detail-oriented and will be sure to follow any instructions given when caring for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Ashland on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,689 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ashland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ashland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.

To find sitters in Ashland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashland. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
