“We booked Annamarie to stay in our home with our german shepherd. She was friendly, patient, and reliable. She arrived on time and followed our instructions. We felt comfortable leaving our pup in her care and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy. Thank you!”
“Kristen, is a very sweet and caring young lady to our Vienna and Vienna adores Kristen! Kristen was very punctual for our meet and greet, I was very impressed with her! She also quickly replied to messages I sent to her. I totally feel assured and in good, capable hands with Kristen! I would highly recommend her!”
“Samantha was a joy! My dogs now have a new best friend! I am very picky about who stays with my pups, as they mean the world to me but Samantha spoiled them more than me! She sent pictures every day of the great adventures they had with her… She went way above what we expect and I really can’t say enough good things about Samantha!”
“Shelby did an AMAZING job with our pups! She stayed at our house and took care of them while we were out of town for 4 days. We have an older dog and I did not worry once while they were in Shelby’s care! She sent photos and texts to assure us that all was well. We really enjoyed meeting Shelby and would trust her to stay at our home with our dogs again. 10/10 recommend Shelby!”
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Mary! I have two dogs that require medications and someone to stay in home with them. Mary came over before my trip to meet them and make sure she knew everything that was required to take care of my girls! Throughout my time away, Mary was very communicative with pictures and was always giving me updates about how my dogs were doing. She was extremely sweet and loving toward my dogs and I would recommend her to anyone who is apprehensive about leaving their dogs.”
“Melanie did a great job watching our dog and taking care of our home over a long weekend! We were a bit nervous since our dog is very old and picky, but she took to Melanie quickly and Melanie made the whole process super easy. We received tons of cute photos throughout and we returned home to a happy pup and well taken care of home. We would absolutely recommend Melanie to others for all dog-sitting/house-sitting needs.”
About: I've had dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish since I was a kid. My family also boarded/walked dogs for a while on here before. I'm very flexible so I can pretty much make anything work. I do some Uber eats as well. Not sure why it's making me put THIS many words here but it's required. I am very careful and caring for my own that I've had over the years. Right now I personally have an iguana that has a lot of particular care needs. And so I understand that everyone else wants their animals to be treated with that same amount of intention.
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. For over 10 years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds including my own, friends, and family members, and I truly treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I’m a mom with my daughter now in school and I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m happy to meet your pet’s individual needs. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and always prioritize safety and communication. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away! I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I am currently working a part time job as a front desk assistant in the afternoons, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for the needs of your fur babies! I will come to the clients home at your convenience, so they are in a comfortable environment. I always follow routines closely and include pictures so your mind is at ease. Safety is my top priority, I double check doors are locked, gates, leashes and keep a clean and calm environment for your pet.
“Megan cared for my dogs like they were her own! She kept me updated with how they were doing through pictures and messages. I will definitely ask her to watch them again! Thanks, again Megan!!”
“Taylor was outstanding! The dogs absolutely loved him. He took care of the house and my mail. He was extremely communicative to me and sent updates with photos. He did a great job making sure the dogs were as comfortable as possible. Extremely professional and takes his job seriously which made me feel really great booking with him. I would HIGHLY recommend Taylor for any of your pet sitting needs (just don’t need him when I need him! Ha ha just kidding!) will definitely be using him in the future!”

I just moved to Southern Pines, and am looking for any kind of word I can. My experience having dogs in my house all my life has made me responsible and capable of taking care of any kind of dog. We have a very safe apartment complex that we take long walks around many times a day to keep your pup happy and comfortable. If your dog is also a competent swimmer we have a nearby lake with public swimming spots to enjoy.

“Mary did a fantastic job watching my dog Luna at her beautiful farm, which was perfect for the active lifestyle of my dog. I received pictures of my pup riding along for random farm jobs like feeding the ponies. Luna was healthy and happy when I picked her up, which gave me confidence in rebooking with Mary. Thank you very for being flexible at the last minute notice and helping facilitate my work trip and taking care of my best friend.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m a pet owner myself, so I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and always make sure pets receive plenty of love and attention while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, basic grooming, and administering routine medications when needed. I also have experience caring for pets with more specific routines and needs. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of attention. My online studies ensure I'm always available to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry friend. I would prefer so have at least a two hours notice if you need me or if you do not need me on a scheduled day. I'm committed to keeping your furry friend safe and happy. Open communication is key! I'll provide regular updates with photos and videos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Penelope was awesome. I have a 12 year old German shepherd who takes a bit to warm up to new people. Penelope took great care of my home and my dog. She was patient with Stella while she warmed up to her and sent me updates on how she was doing while I was away. Will definitely hire her again :)”

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashmont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashmont on Rover is $43.7 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 443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashmont. 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 Ashmont 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 Ashmont 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 Ashmont 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.

- 96% 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.
