About: I love animals as much as I love my family. I’ve had pets my whole life, and cared for more than Ive owned. I also volunteered at the wildlife rescue for over 5 years. I have experience with sick and injured pets as well. Giving medicine orally and injections, including giving fluids with an IV and insulin shots. Several of my pets have lived to be 20, so I also have plenty of experience with the sweet old babes. My dog is also terrified of any loud noises and car rides, he has bad anxiety. So he gets medicine for it when he needs it. Sometimes he releases his anal glands, so then needs a bath (so much fun 🤢) I’m Autistic (formerly called Aspergers), have OCD and ADHD. So I REALLY clean up after your pets!! 😆 I also have experience with house plants and can care for your plants as well! I don’t work a full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a homebody, so I don’t have a busy schedule either. I try to give your pets the calmest and happiest experience while you’re not home. My goal is to help them forget you’re gone, by following the same routine they are used to and giving them all the love, attention and playtime they need. I’m also judgement free and will follow your house rules, religious or otherwise. I will always treat your pets and home with respect.
“Debbie did a “Greyt” job caring for our Greyhounds. We had a very unexpected lightning strike at our home and she handled the entire event without skipping a beat! Even without TV or internet she amused herself and our fur babies. We will definitely be using Debbie again. Ps, she was also very respectful of our property and even asked permission for her Husband to join her for dinner She definitely left the house in better shape than she found it! Thx Debbie”
About: I've lived with animals all my life. They are my family. I tend to them as if they are my children. I did take my rottweiler to training classes... and learned how to easily take her on walks. I am very comfortable and adore all dogs. Cats and other animals are always fun to be with too. I have a fenced in yard and a large sweet rottweiler, Franki and a tuxedo cat, Kitty. My dog is very friendly but not fond of little dogs if they are cocky... I had a jack russel and he was a boss to Franki. I am self employed as an artist and set my own schedule... Which makes it easy to fit in this great job of loving your pets. My Rottie, Frank, loves to lounge on her couch or two beds. She enjoys her fenced in yard and long daily walks. She gets brushed daily and eats two meals of homeaid food and is loved on any time she's near. At nite she sleeps next to me like a queen😊
About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.
About: I have always been a huge animal lover. I have been dog walking for 10+ years. I have experience with dogs of all ages and I am patient with handling special needs your dog may have. I currently have an open schedule with plenty of time spend with your pet and I have full availability to be able to accommodate to your pets routine! I have a big backyard that plenty of pups have enjoyed . With dogs I have boarding with me, we have a set schedule for walks and meal time. Your pup will have the opportunity to mingle with other friendly dogs I have staying with me. I also have separate rooms if I need to separate dogs. It’s a great atmosphere for pets to relax and enjoy their vacation 🐾
“Kassi was outstanding with RosKoe. We had zero worries after meeting her, knowing we could attend our sons wedding without having to be concerned. Kassi sent pictures, kept us informed every day. I would recommend Kassi without hesitation. Super nice, professional, responsible and genuinely caring. Thank you again Kassi!”
“Eric was fantastic! Moose and mittens loved him. He messaged everyday with pictures to make sure we knew our babies were taken care of. Very nice and personable and trustworthy. Thank you so much Eric! We will definitely be using him if he’s available for our next trip!”
“Kayla was awesome! She stayed 10 nights with our dogs and it was a relief they were able to stay in their home and have company! We came home to very happy dogs and the house as nice as we left it! She also cared for our poultry and did an excellent job! We loved the photo updates of all the animals. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both small and large breeds. I currently have two dogs of my own: a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix and a Cane Corso/Boxer mix, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with very different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs and horses, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to read animal behavior from an early age. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, basic training reinforcement, administering lots of love and attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. During the week, I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and nighttime check-ins after work. My weekends are much more flexible, which allows me to provide more availability for pet sitting, extended visits, walks, and additional care as needed. I always do my best to be reliable, communicative, and accommodating to both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make safety and comfort my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walking preferences, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before and after walks or outdoor time. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and environment to help prevent accidents, stress, or unsafe situations. I also keep communication open by providing updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away. Because I have experience with both small and large breeds, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and adapting care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.
About: I can watch animals of all sizes, chickens, goat dogs, cats, dogs, I own a few types over the years and can possibly learn a new pet, if needed to watch ❤️❤️🐰 I’m currently at home during the day, I’m usually scheduled 1-2 nights a week and will have my daughter helping with the responsibilities for caring for your animals, walking, reading them books and loving on them! I can care for your baby at my home, or yours. Sometimes they’re more comfortable in their home, safety comes first. I will be taking your dog, for walks, car rides, and down to the lake to see my world.
About: I work my typical job as a 5th grade teacher but was a nanny before that with lots of dog experience from that! However, I have cared for many families that had older dogs and cats as well as have gotten puppies while I was their nanny. So, I have experience with all ages of dogs as well as cats. I am currently working as a 5th grade teacher during the day until 3pm. With my nights being completely free the nights I work as well as weekends! I can be flexible, if you need quick visits or longer stays of visits for your animals. Based on your needs in your home I am able to accommodate!
“Very pleasant experience, very engaging available. Understanding on nervousness on leaving my pets with a new person and communicates very well before , and during her 4 day stay at my house. highly recommended”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of animals, from playful puppies and independent cats to curious rabbits. My approach is always tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring dedication and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every job. This extensive experience has taught me how to handle different temperaments and health requirements, making me a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for any furry friend. I am available on weekends, as well as all day Monday, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Willing to stay with you pets for the whole weekend or pop in on those days i’m free! There is a fenced yard at my parents' home with five dogs, and I often play ball with them outside. I also have a fenced yard at my place for my 2-year-old Mini Aussie, where we enjoy playing outdoors as well. He has two full toy baskets and bark boxes every month! He is very loved (spoiled) :)!
“Palace was amazing! Took very good care of the dogs, kept in touch with messages and photos while I was away, and I came back to happy dogs and a clean home. Would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Nate was fantastic with our two doodles! He sent us pictures morning and night and took such great care of them. Our minds were completely at ease the whole time Nate was with our dogs. We will rebook with Nate whenever possible!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashtabula
Debbie did a great job sitting for my 9 year old Boxer in our camper while we laid my Mom’s ashes in Mentor Cemetary. We are from MT and he’s not used to this heat and humidity. I got her with a last minute request yesterday and she did wonderfully. Highly recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashtabula
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashtabula on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashtabula. 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 Ashtabula 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 Ashtabula 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 Ashtabula 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.
