“Thank you so much for caring for Pliny. You went above and beyond. Thanks for walking her and playing with her, and helping her feel comfy while we were gone. And the special gift of framed pics was really sweet!”
“Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Lizzy was a great sitter that I will definitely book again. The dogs warmed up to her extremely quickly during the meet and greet. She was punctual, communicative and responsible!”
“We have two very senior dogs who both have several medications administered mornings, dinner-time and bedtime. Denise’s veterinary office experience originally attracted me for that reason, then watching her gentle, caring interaction with our dogs sealed it for me. I would consider my dogs pretty high maintenance (and myself as well, as I left a ton of instructions for Denise!). Denise provided terrific service. We left our senior dogs with her for almost a week, and both dogs were very happy and calm upon our return. Denise kept in great touch with us and successfully treated one dog’s diarrhea (which can happen because our dogs take so many meds at this stage of their lives). Although I had no expectation at all that Denise should clean our home (our dogs were the key focus), our home was just the way we left it upon our return. Denise provided wonderful, top-notch service for us and care for our dogs - and we definitely are not an easy household! I can happily recommend Denise.”
About: I've been caring for pets since 2019. I previously owned two cats, who now live with my family after I relocated. Caring for them taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I've also cared for both cats and dogs for 5–6 friends while they were away, with my longest pet-sitting stay lasting over two months. I've cared for pets with different energy levels and personalities, and I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and following any special care instructions. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to detail. Whether it's a cat or a dog, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and longer-term care. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule while keeping your pet's daily routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. Having cared for both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. I'll carefully follow your care instructions, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication, or extra attention for shy or senior pets, I'm happy to help. I'll also send regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I'm comfortable caring for shy, senior, or high-energy pets, and I'll always let them interact at their own pace without forcing attention.
About: I’ve been a passionate pet owner and sitter for over six years, with a special love for dogs. I’m devoted to providing safe, fun, and personalized care for every pup. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or snuggles, I treat every pet like family. I’m a college athlete with a busy academic and training schedule, so I’m available to care for your pets on weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I have class from 12 to 4 p.m., but I’m flexible outside of those hours. My love for dogs and years of pet care experience means your dogs will get top-notch attention and care! I understand how important your home and pet’s safety are, and I take that very seriously. I will always respect your home by following your guidelines, keeping spaces clean, and ensuring your pet has a calm, secure environment. I value responsibility and honesty. You can trust that I’ll provide the best care for your pet and peace of mind for you.
“Maya was very responsive and reliable during the initial search process and the house sitting time. She stayed with Doug for 2 nights/3 days. She sent us a picture update during her time with Doug, and communicated at various points to check in. We will be using Maya’s services again soon!”
“Jamie was a caring, kind sitter and I felt totally confident after meeting her that she would take excellent care of my little dog. She was understanding and helpful while I was on vacation. A pleasure meeting and working with her on all arrangements!”
About: Hi, I’m Jonathan! I’ve been around dogs most of my life, growing up with four family dogs and helping care for them daily. I’ve also looked after pets for family members, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I don’t have a pet right now but miss having a dog around so joined Rover! I work from home so your pet will have a lot of attention. I have experience taking care of anxious dogs and grew up with rescues, and committed to following your pet’s routine and care instructions. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home and have flexibility for routine dog walks and drop-in house visits. I also can do house sitting for an extended period if given advanced notice to schedule. I grew up with rescue dogs and understand their home is their space so I would want to follow their owner's guidelines and if there are any special spaces to pay attention to. I know it can be stressful having a new person boarding and taking care of their pet so I aim to care for their home as I would mine and leave it exactly how it was before I arrived.
About: I have always loved being around animals and genuinely enjoy taking care of pets. My roommate has two cats, and I’ve been living with them for about a year now, so I’m very comfortable with cat behavior and routines. I have helped care for them when my roommate was away, including feeding them, checking on them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience taking care of my friends’ dogs and enjoy spending time with them, playing with them, and following their normal routine. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I try to be patient, gentle, and attentive based on what they need. I would treat your pet with the same care and love as I would my own. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care based on your cat or dog’s routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely and keep you updated so you feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priority. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, food and water are taken care of, and their routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m gentle, patient, and understand that some pets need time to warm up. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including pets who are shy, playful, or need a little extra patience. I’ll treat your pet with care, respect their space, and keep you updated with messages or photos during the visit.
About: We do our very best for your pups! We provide pick up and drop off to help with the convenience for you and your pup. I usually prefer to come and do a meet and greet beforehand, so you and the pup can get to know me. I love to see your pup in their natural habitat, so I know what to expect. A little bit about our place, we are completely off grid with solar and a wind turbine for power! We give our pups well water. The water is very high in natural minerals and has Magnesium, which helps keep us and our pups very mellow/calm during their stay. We are up 4000ft in elevation and up here we get SNOW in the winter, which makes for great pics. We have been working with dogs for 10+ years. We accommodate all different types of pups from Tea-cups to Malamutes. (2-100+lbs) we’ve done it all. We try very hard to accommodate you and are willing to go the extra mile to make everything go smoothly. We do ask you give us their food for them. It’s very important to us that your dog remains safe and secure at all times. The more information you can tell us about your pup the better! We do have AirTags/Drones and other toys if they have issues with trying to escape. Your pup will get an experience up here that they can’t get anywhere else. We treat them like family, because to us they are! They will see all different types of animals from birds to tons of squirrels, rabbits and’s quails. They might even get to see cattle/horses at the bottom of the hill. They will never be able to interact with any of them. We send pictures/videos normally everyday. We do send updates everyday!!! Please, feel free to txt or call me anytime if you have any questions. We hope to see you and your pup very soon!!!😊🍀🙏🐾 We are up and about at 6-7am. Everyone heads out for the bathroom and stretch. I get my coffee and start preparing food. Everyone gets fed separately or in their kennels. Then, around 8am we go on our first hike. Usually between 30/60 min. Then after their first hike they get to either come inside the main house or hang out in the play area. Around noon we play some games, work on training techniques, or play mind games where they work on their smell or obedience. Depending on the weather we go for another pack walk. Time again varies between 4-7pm. Then DINNER TIME!!! That usually also consists of me firing up the BBQ and give them a little bit of what we’re eating. After dinner we give them a few hours to digestion and poop and pee and then everyone gets their nice warm blanket for bed around 9pm. We do vary in our days if it’s hot I pull out the pool and fill it up. If it’s cold and snowing we pull out the heaters and snuggle on our bed and watch a movie. To be honest I have the best job ever! All of the dogs I’ve ever met have a personality of their own. They usually take after their owner lol. I’m constantly surrounded by my dogs, stimulating them with something, music or movies, podcasts. When your dog comes up here we treat them just like they were our own.
About: I had the privilege of caring for my last dog until she recently passed at 16. She was truly the love of my life and I will always be grateful for her. Before she passed she needed constant care. It was like hospice, with all of the medications she was on I did my best making her last days as comfortable as possible. With this I’m very comfortable caring for senior doggies, and I have had experience with younger dogs and puppies as well. I really miss having an animal of my own and would love the opportunity to tend to other pets. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to house sit and stay with your pet, or I can check on your pet multiple times a day. I am currently offering care at the pets home. I am happy to do meet and greets before booking to ensure we are a good fit for each other, and discuss what your pets needs are. I am also happy to provide you with updates through out the day.
About: I have been working with pets for about 5 years. Started in high school and now in my adult life. I also haves worked at a pet hotel for about 3 years where I was trained to handle all breeds and types of dogs and cats. Very flexible! I am a college student so any time I am not working on school I am free and available to look after your fur baby! I first and foremost respect all rules and boundaries of your home. Safety is the #1 priority when I’m handling any pet. I want pet parents to feel as comfortable as possible, I handle any fur baby how I would take care of my own.
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with 10+ years of experience with dogs and other pets. I’m attentive, patient, and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like my own and give them the love and care they deserve! I currently work full-time, but I’m available most mornings and after work for pet care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and can be flexible with drop-offs, pick-ups, walks, and visits when booked in advance. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while they’re in my care. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets supervised, and make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: As a nurse with a strong medical background, caring for others is truly second nature to me, including our beloved animals ! I’m responsible, attentive, compassionate, and comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. My nursing experience has taught me to be observant, calm in unexpected situations, and diligent about following care instructions, medications, feeding schedules, and other special requirements. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I am in between contract work right now as a nurse, so my schedule is very open to fit your needs! No need to always book in advance. You can message me same day in case of emergencies. I treat your home and your pets with the same amount of respect and love that I treat my home and my pets :) our pets are our children and deserve to be treated as such

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,124 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashrama. 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 Ashrama 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 Ashrama 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 Ashrama 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
