“Jennifer did an incredible job watching my 10 week old rambunctious puppy! I was traveling for work and was able to relax knowing Bernie was being taken care of.”
“Hannah was so great! She helped me out last minute and even squeezed in time to come meet Paxton before staying with him. She had good communication and left the house just as we had left it! :)”
About: hi there! I have lots of experience taking care of animals. I’ve watched/walked many dogs and cats over the years (and have had many of my own). I was relied on to walk, feed, and give appropriate medications to the animals. I love animals and would enjoy any opportunity to spend time with your fur baby! I love spending my free time with pets! I work full time at a law firm, but my hours are flexible. When I am watching your pet, it will be my top priority! I love to take walks around the city and also love finding new puppy-friendly trails in the area! I pay very close attention to the needs of each animal and can adjust to any instructions from their owner.
“Emma was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of both of my dogs while Lorena and I were away for a few days, and we couldn’t have felt more at ease. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves what she does. We got regular updates, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her. I would 100% recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Emily did a great job sitting with both my dog Abby and cat Lenny. Emily has walked Abby many times in the past and every time Abby is so excited to see her when she comes over. Knowing how Abby reacts to Emily made our stay away from home much more enjoyable since we knew she was in good hands with someone she enjoyed being with. Highly recommend.”
“Ella was great!! Very responsible and attentive. She made prompt plans for a home visit and sent lots of pictures in our absence. She took care of everything we asked and I highly recommend her!”
“Zoey is very kind and considerate of me the pet owner as well as my pup. She communicated with me during her stay just to put my mind at ease. She sent pictures so I knew my pup was well taken care of. She is responsive and reliable.”
“Katherine was great! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request for in-home sitting. She was fantastic at communication and met my sweet boy's needs. It was wonderful to have someone in my home whom I felt comfortable leaving my babies with. I love how many pictures she sent over the weekend, and I was able to relax and enjoy being out of town with family. I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet setting needs, and I plan on having her watch my babies again!”
“Aaron was wonderful and truly loved spending time with Gracie and Roxie! Aaron sent pictures and updates daily, which was greatly appreciated! He let me know that Roxie took a little bit of time to warm up but then was herself with being a big snuggler, and that Gracie did great on her walks. Last time we had made this trip we had an 8 hour delay, and asked Aaron ahead of time if something like this happened again could he stay, and he said he could. Luckily all went well and we were able to arrive home on time to two very happy and very well cared for pups! Will definitely use Aaron again!!”
“Kristin was great! She was available quickly for a meet n greet, was on time, and took great care of my 3 senior dogs. I definitely hope to use her services in the future.”
About: I love animals. I’ve owned several dogs and cats throughout my life. I’ve also sitted with both dogs and cats for friends and family. I’ve also cared for kittens and puppies. I work full time from home as a corporate event manager. Pet sitting in your home is a perfect set-up. I bring my work with me and have the flexibility to take breaks to care for and play with your pet as needed. I am not able to care for pets in my apartment at this time so would need to care for your pets in your home. I am accustomed to handling pets needs from feeding to playing to exercise and whatever specific needs they may have.
“Tonya took great care of our dogs and kept me posted every day. She sent the best pictures and they were definitely well cared for. She will be my go to pet sitter from now on.”
“Caroline did an amazing job looking out for my three small dogs while I was away for the weekend. She sent picture updates and kept me informed of how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her and call on her again!”
“Our dog and cat loved Sara. She was very communicative with us and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsible and asked questions if she had any concerns. She also left the house clean and neat. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Laken was phenomenal! She was so kind and willing to accommodate our last-minute request. Her communication was great and her calm demeanor helped with our dog’s anxiety. Most importantly, Patches loved her! I would definitely recommend Laken.”
“Alyssa was great with our German Shepherd! He was incredibly happy when we got home- he clearly enjoyed him time with her. She took him running, had no issues giving him medication and she even let him sleep with her. 5 stars all around. Her communication was great and we’ll definitely be using her again.”
“Christa was fantastic the entire process of sitting for my senior dog in my home. She responds quickly, asks all of the important questions to ensure she is providing the proper care, then communicates effectively while we were away. She even was able to do a nail trim which is something my very senior dog has refused for nearly a year. What a life saver! I'll definitely be rebooking!”

Kelly was amazing with Chessie! She was super communicative throughout the stay, sent updates and photos, and clearly took great care of her. I could tell Chessie was happy and comfortable. She even treated her to a pup cup which was such a sweet touch 🥹 Highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
There are so many wonderful things to say about Abbie…where to start?! If you had to rate her on a scale of 10, with 10 being the best, I’d give her an 11🤗 Her communication was exceptional. I had multiple pictures of the animals and detailed messages of what they all did, both in the morning and evening. And with 6 fur babies to care for, that’s not easy. Abbie also took note of additional items that needed attending to, such as cleaning dishes, taking out the trash, and remaking the bed. Items I never mentioned needing to be done, but she took it upon herself to go above and beyond. We were so grateful for the love and care she provided for our fur babies and the peace of mind Abbie provided while we were gone. Abbie will absolutely be the first one we call when we go out of town again.

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 1,643 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.

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.
