“Ayla did a great job taking care of our shy cat. She was able to coax her out for pictures. I truly appreciate the attention to details like taking out the garbage and running the dishwasher at the end of the week. Thank you so much.”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and have a long history of pet sitting and animal care experience. I grew up with dogs and currently share my home with four cats and three rabbits, so I’m very comfortable caring for a variety of personalities and needs in a multi-animal household. In addition to companion animals, I’m have experience with and love all animals under the sun, which has deepened my understanding of specialized care and patience. Professionally, I worked at a veterinary clinic for two years and at an animal shelter for three years, where I gained hands-on experience with animal health, behavior, enrichment, and administering basic medications. I take animal care seriously and always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away! I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for housesitting as well as for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the day on weekdays. I’m also able to adjust my routine to meet your pet’s specific needs, whether that means multiple visits, extended stays, or extra playtime and attention. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment for every animal in my care. In clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely and keep pets’ routines as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I’m experienced administering medications, interacting with shy or anxious animals, and recognizing signs of discomfort or illness. I treat every animal with patience, respect, and close attention to their individual needs, and I always communicate clearly with pet parents for peace of mind.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Ashland is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
We had a wonderful experience with Ayla! They took such great care of our three cats while we were away and truly went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. Communication was excellent throughout every visit and I felt comfortable reaching out and asking questions in between. Ayla was responsive and updated us immediately after each visit with updates and pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. She was able to take care of our cats while one of them was in heat and helped us monitor her from afar. it was clear Ayla genuinely cared about our cats and treated them with kindness. We could not have asked for a better sitter and will be reaching out if and when we might need someone again in the future. I highly recommend Ayla to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy pet sitter!
I felt very assured my two older cats were being well cared for in my absence. Colleen even went beyond cleaning the litter boxes having swept and used the vacuum on at least one occasion. I came back to stress free cats and well maintained home. I definitely would recommend Colleen and would he happy to have her drop in with my two again next time I go out of town.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ashland is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
