“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it went. Julie loved our fur babies just like they were her own. We came home to happy dogs and a well looked after home. We already booked Julie for another stay.”
“Great experience! Good communication and timely. Received daily text with what the dogs were up to and some nice pictures as well. I felt like the directions I left were followed and the dogs were happy as I did not notice any behavior changes in them. Really pleased with how Melissa treated the dogs. Would definitely book again.”
About: I have been a huge animal lover all my life. I have raised many different animals including dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. My last dog Poppy I had for 16 wonderful years. I have had experience raising a litter of my own 4 husky mix puppies, volunteerd at local animal shelters and also have worked at a doggy daycare and grooming shop. I currently have one chihuahua named Luna that I recently adopted. I have also done housesitting and pet sitting for some of my friends. I will keep your pet safe and provide the best care possible for them. I took a break from Rover while I lived in MN. I'm back in the area now. My schedule is pretty flexible as of right now. I am hoping to have a set one in the near future. My main job is animal care. I can offer long walks and plenty of playtime and tlc. I will treat your fur babies like my own and keep them safe and sound.
“Melissa is the best! I felt so at ease when she was with my dog, and will absolutely book with her again. She took wonderful care of him and my home! She is very communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and warm. I could travel knowing my dog was in great hands, which is such a gift.”
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. As a Certified Medical Assistant, I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to details. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just companionship, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have a reliable and consistent schedule that allows me to provide quality care for your pets. I’m available after 3:30 PM on weekdays and have greater flexibility on evenings and weekends. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and will send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jessica did a great job of caring for my dog. She was flexible and quick to respond to my texts, provided updates during her stay, and made me feel that my dog was in good hands with someone very capable of working with my dog, who has had some anxiety and reactivity issues. The house was well kept and looked the same as when I left for my trip. I would definitely book with Jessica again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashland on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
