“Reagan was great! She sent plenty of photos and proivided updates on how everyone was doing. Very respectful of the house. When we got back, the animals were happy to see us, but did not act like they had been ignored, which is the best compliment I can give.”
“Anabell did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She stayed at my house and sent me updates including pictures! It made me feel so comfortable while I was gone for so long. She even left me a thank you card with Polaroids of Tully on my return. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I have always had a home full of fur babies. Cats & Dogs mostly rescued. I currently have a senior dog, she will be 17 in December! I love animals and have been taking care of them for as long as I remember. I am reliable, responsible and very good at communicating and always provide daily updates with pictures.

Consistency is key. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and shower them with love!

About: With several years of professional home and rental cleaning experience, I understand how important it is to respect someone’s home while they’re away. I always make it a priority to keep your space tidy and leave your home just as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. You can leave town, your animals will be taken care of, I’ll communicate with you, your house is safe, and you’re not coming home to a mess. I am new to the Charleston area but currently a Law School student at CSOL. I have a car and am located right downtown Charleston with quick access to the highways. I have no issues crating animals or following safety instructions and being respectful of other people’s homes and pets. I am very good with written instructions and last minute drop ins. I have 4 years of House and Rental cleaning experience on my resume and would be happy to add cleaning/organizing to your services at an additional $30 an hour
“Julia was great with our energetic pups and took perfect care of our house while we were away! We’re thankful we found her relatively last-minute and would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Ashleigh and I absolutely love caring for animals. As someone who has been in the childcare and petcare industry for years, I have spent my career with a large range of animals, including all kinds of breeds of dogs (including blind, elderly, and special needs dogs), cats, and have a speciality in caring for rabbits. I consider myself an expert in particular in canine and rabbit care. I’m currently a part time professional nanny, so my mornings and early afternoons are completely open. I’m also an early bird, so would love to take a furry friend on morning walks around the neighborhood and give them that love and quality time that they deserve. I am also available to come over to your home and play with them outside or just give them that comfort of having a human friend with them. I currently only board rabbits at my home because we live in an apartment. With dogs I like to stay over at your home because I feel it makes your fur baby feel more safe and comfortable to know there is a human they can trust at night in their space.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ashley Forest is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashley Forest
Naomi was great with my dogs. I have one who is extra fearful and she was very patient and understanding with him as he warmed up. She gave them lots of love, they were perfectly safe & she was always on time for the times we agreed upon. 100% would book again.
Caroline was wonderful to work with from start to finish! She was communicative throughout and very accommodating to my travel plans which had me landing late at night. I really appreciated the flexibility. She stayed in my home and left it spotless. I'd absolutely rebook with her again!
This was the second time Rachel has stayed at our home for a long weekend to watch our dog. It was a stormy few days and she took extra good care of our anxious boy throughout all the thunder. Great communication, lots of photos and came home to a happy dog and well kept home. Thanks again Rachel!
We had a fantastic experience with Sandi and would absolutely book with her again! From the meet and greet, she was incredibly attentive—she asked thoughtful questions, took notes about Moose’s routine and preferences, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. While we were away, Sandi sent frequent, detailed updates and tons of pictures, kept him active and entertained, and clearly treated him like her own. She even took him on little adventures and surprised him with some new toys. It was obvious from the updates (and from a very happy Moose when we got home!) that he had an absolute blast. We couldn’t have asked for a more attentive and caring sitter. Highly recommend Sandi!
Jenna is the absolute best cat sitter! She sent detailed updates multiple times per day with photos and videos of happy cats! She’s so kind, follows all instructions, and truly goes above and beyond. Not to mention we came home to an absolute spotless home. I would recommend Jenna to anyone! We’re so lucky to have found her in Charleston.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashley Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashley Forest on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,610 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashley Forest. 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 Ashley Forest 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 Ashley Forest 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 Ashley Forest 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 with handling special pet needs in Ashley Forest. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
