“Toni was so communicative and thorough in watching over my cats for a long weekend. She made sure that all their needs were met and kept them company for a couple times a day, which I think was super helpful to their mental well-being. I can't recommend her enough for anyone in this area!”

About: I once fostered a very cute polydatcyl cat named Cleo and enjoyed every moment of having a fur friend around. I did not mind at all the responsibilities involved in her care and wellbeing. It only lasted for a year but I am sure Cleo remembers/misses me as much as I miss her. I respect all forms of life and I aspire to gain trust and experience in my community. I currently have full time availability. I do have extensive professional background working in leadership roles so I am very responsible and have always prioritized humanity over production. I also enjoy cooking in my free time. While in a client's home, I am very observant of hazards and potential causes for problems. My time will be spent fully attentative to the unique care instructions left by the pets family and also will remain acutely aware of the pets wellbeing for the entire duration of my stay. I have foundational knowledge in cat and dog behavior as well as an understanding of appropriate first aid if ever needed.

“Mia is absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly sweet and very willing to go above and beyond. Our cats instantly warmed up to her. She also provided many pictures during each of her stop-in's showing how our fur babies were doing. We will absolutely be using her services in the future and highly recommend to anyone considering hiring her services.”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my home, and love any and all pups. My 10 year old dog recently passed. He was a one-dog household kind of guy, so my house feels very quiet without a pup in here. I’m also very used to caring for a dog who doesn’t always love other dogs. I work from home full time and have a large backyard. I can provide a minimum of 1 long walk each day, with frequent breaks out back. I have no other pets and no other people in my home. I have a fenced in yard and am here most of the time each day.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 15 years now. I have done favors for many friends/family/neighbors of mine helping them with their animal while away. Over the years of experience, I am able to tell pretty quickly when a dog needs to go out for potty breaks, I stay on feeding schedule per owners request. I will always make sure the dog empty’s before I leave for the visit or breaks for myself that I step away. I play with dogs and love giving belly rubs! I can go on daily walks with your dog. Weekends are my ideal availability, but I can accommodate through the week if necessary, even if it’s just to check in to make sure they have food and water. I have a fenced backyard for my older dog. We do go on walks daily when cognitively he is able too. I can crate the dog if necessary. I give baths monthly and always make sure to have treats for him. I now have a female pitbull, she’s a good girl. We walk daily, she gets monthly bullymake boxes since she loves to chew through toys. She gets lots of treats

About: I am a 26 year old vet tech at Faithful Friends Animal Society and have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was very young. I can care for pets with medical issues and medications as well as other medical treatments. I love all dogs and can deal with more timid dogs if necessary. I can care for dogs, cats, and any other type of pet. I am limited in availability to stay in your home but often can do frequent drop by’s to care for your pet. I would love to get to know your pets! Contact me by text or call any time! I work a full time schedule but am free in the evenings and on the weekends to care for your pets. My regular work days are from 830-530 but they do vary by day of the week. I have a tremendous love for animals and for caring for them as I have made it my career. I have lots of love to give as well as knowledge in vet care and good communication while you are away, which can be over texts or calls or any way convenient. I am comfortable house sitting your home and caring for plants and other house chores. I unfortunately cannot accommodate your pets in my own home as I am a renter.

It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I highly recommend Yasmine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs of all sizes, cats, gerbils, chinchillas, rabbits, and fish. I’m familiar with basic obedience commands and enjoy helping reinforce training routines while you’re away, so your dog stays consistent with their progress. My passion for animals means your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. You can relax knowing they’ll receive the same love and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work and attend school during the day Monday through Friday, but I’m available for morning and evening visits before and after my schedule. My service area is close to home, so I can easily plan around my work and class times to make sure pets get the care they need. Weekends tend to be busier for me, but with advance notice, I’m happy to schedule visits or walks. I’m also open to a few overnight stays when needed, though I limit them since I have my own pets to care for at home. I’m very attentive to animal body language and always make sure to approach each pet calmly and respectfully. When entering a client’s home, I start by greeting your pet softly and observing their comfort level before approaching. I take my time to build trust, ensuring they feel safe and secure in their own space before any interaction. Once your pet and I are both comfortable, I carry out the visit’s tasks—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or general care—while keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm. My goal is always to make your pet feel relaxed, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

About: I don't just watch dogs—I welcome them into my family. Every pup receives personalized attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I work for the school system, so I have weekends, holidays, and summers off. My typical work hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and my school is very close to home, which allows me to come home during my lunch breaks. I make it a priority not to leave the pups home alone for more than four hours at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. In addition, I keep 2 small dogs at a time but for the bigger ones I only will sit 1 dog for safety reasons 😊. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family. I have a fully fenced yard, two friendly Shih-Poos who love making new friends, and a calm, loving environment. I'll follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions, so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.

I'm so glad my wife and I decided to use Sarah's services -- our dogs loved her! We have two dogs, one of which requires extra TLC, as she is incredibly anxious. From the first meeting, Sarah put our minds at ease. Sarah was so warm and gentle with our dogs, she asked all the right questions, and we felt confident leaving our dogs with her. While we were gone, Sarah was communicative and accommodating, and we were so pleased with the way our dogs were cared for. We will absolutely be using her services again, as it is not easy to find someone who you trust wholeheartedly with your babies!

It's always a delight to have Jordana do drop ins for my doggos. They're always so well taken care of and they both love her. Mabel (older dog) can be such a grump at times, but she just gets so extra excited when Jordana arrives. And Ryuji absolutely loves her too. I'm very happy to have Jordana tend to my dogs any time!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ashley Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 7,511 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ashley Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashley Heights. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
