“Second time having Elyssa care for my pets, first time for in-home pet sitting. Elyssa was great! She provided thorough updates, sent plenty of pictures & left my home in pristine condition. Will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“David was great! He was responsive and gave photo updates throughout the five days we needed him to sit with our girls. Will definitely be using his services again in the future.”
“Jacqueline was a dream! I needed a house sitter + cat sitter over the holidays, and Jacqueline was the perfect choice. She began with a meet and greet about 2 weeks before I was leaving town. She sent me daily pictures of Bruce and Fig, and left my home in better shape than she found it! So wonderful to leave a home and my crazy cats in such wonderful hands.”
“Amazing experience!! Rachel is a true professional who cared for our pup with love and attention. Our first trip apart, she thoughtfully navigated our pet's needs to ensure Bella stayed on routine. We also appreciated her detailed communication, regular updates, and calm easy demeanor. We highly recommend Rachel for your pet care and house sitting needs.”
“Malesa stayed with our two chihuahuas for 7 days. She was amazing, she even cooked for them! My puppies didn’t even miss us!! We are so grateful that she stayed with our puppies!”
“Elizabeth is SO sweet and took great care of my sweet fur baby! He was so happy and so loved on while I was away. My buddy has separation anxiety and knowing that sweet Elizabeth was loving on him while I was away made me feel a million times better!! We’ve already booked her again and Spade can’t wait for more snuggles!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for years and currently share my home with three large, professionally trained, fully vaccinated dogs. Running a structured, well-managed multi-dog household has given me extensive hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and play styles — especially large breeds. I’ve cared for puppies, foster dogs, and dogs in various stages of training, and I’m comfortable reinforcing structure, maintaining routines, and administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to ensure calm, positive, and well-supervised interactions at all times. I approach pet care with intention and professionalism. My home isn’t a chaotic free-for-all — it’s a safe, structured, thoughtfully managed environment where dogs can feel secure, stimulated, and genuinely cared for. I treat every dog like part of my pack and hold myself to a high standard of safety, communication, and reliability I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of care needs. With enough notice, I can make almost anything work and am happy to coordinate around your travel plans or last-minute changes. I also understand that life happens, so short-notice requests are often welcome whenever I’m available. My goal is to make scheduling easy and stress-free for you. I have extra pet accommodations in my home to help your pet feel welcome. In your home, feel free to provide me with all the details, I will make sure that care for your fur-babies don’t skip a beat.
“I highly recommend Cashmere. She gave great care to our pups and house while we were away. She was also very flexible and made adjustments when needed because of our crazy schedule. Thank you SO much!”
“Amira did a great job watching our pets and the house for 3 days while we were out of town. She is very friendly and personable. Great communication during the entire trip. Sent pics of the animals every day. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Amira!”
“Lindsay was so great with my pups! She communicated perfectly and sent photos and updates throughout the weekend. She was so clean and left my place in perfect shape! HIGHLY recommend”
“Veronica was amazing! She was super communicative & our pups were well taken care of. We even had an HVAC issue while we were gone, and she was gracious & helpful as we worked to get it fixed. We returned home to happy, healthy dogs and a house that was cleaner than we left it.”
“We didn't know Hailey before booking her on Rover, but we will definitely use her to watch our dog again. Our dog is high-energy and high-maintenance (he has to be watched carefully because he chews/eats everything!), but Hailey was easy-going and seemed to genuinely appreciate our dog (and all his quirks!). She was easy to communicate with and did everything we asked.”
About: 🐶 Loving home, daily walks if needed, plenty of play & cuddles. I work from home so I'm around all day. Reliable and available last minute if my kids are away at their father's. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility during the day. Walks and play time are a must so everyone is happy and content. I prefer a crate at night if necessary but do not want the dogs in my bed with me. If they are potty trained, they are free to sleep out of uncrate at night.
“Stacie was great with our pups. She provided regular updates and made sure Bella was as comfortable as possible during a heavy rain storm. Would definitely recommend Stacie.”
About: I've house/dog sat for years, mostly for family friends but for the past 2 years I've opened that to outside people, and it's something I enjoy thoroughly! I have always had pets so I'm very comfortable with everything with fur (even scales if you're that type of person lol) I hope to continue this while I'm here in Clarksville. I am a full time student, but I have plenty of breaks and evenings to care for your animals! If hired, my schedule shouldn’t affect my availability to sit. With house sitting, I try to keep the same routine as you would. I know it can be hard to leave your fur babies behind, so I want you to have no doubt they are being left in loving hands! I make sure to send updates and pictures, to keep your mind at ease
“I would leave 3 stars but maybe I should've been more clear about my expectations. I assumed "house sitting" meant stay at my house and spend time with my dog as I would if I were there. In this case it seemed more like several drop-ins and an overnight that started around 11pm. I have a porch security camera that showed the sitter coming in for an hour or 2 then leaving for many hours. My dog spent more time in his crate than out. Again, I didn't voice my expectation so I would just encourage others to have a very in depth conversation beforehand. Lesson learned.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ashland City is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $89 per night. 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.

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 City 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 City 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 City 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.
