“It. was my first booking with Xena and had an amazing experience! She’s so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and my baby was comfortable around her. The minute they met he was all over her to play and was really worried that with his high energy it may be too much to handle. Xena was so patient and kind with him which gave me the peace of mind and will be booking again in the future.”
“Ashley did a first-time 5 night housesit for my almost 10 year old lab mix, and she did a great job. She followed my directions and gave me daily updates and photos. She was very responsive through the app. I felt confident my dog was well-cared for and would use her again.”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of our corgi. She followed all of our instructions closely and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was safe, healthy and very happy. Our pup immediately felt comfortable with Vanessa and she also took good care of our house. We fully recommend her as a dog and house sitter.”
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Peach today while we attended our daughter’s graduation! You followed all her post-surgery instructions perfectly — keeping her calm in the sunroom, short walks, e-collar on, and monitoring her incision. We really appreciate it and would happily book you again!”
“I had a wonderful experience! Minelis was incredibly attentive to detail, flexible, and genuinely caring when it came to Ace’s needs. I really appreciated the daily updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. The communication was excellent, and it was clear that Ace was well cared for throughout. I would absolutely recommend and book again!”
“This was our second time having Malek care for our pets and he is wonderful. Super responsive. He will give tons of love to your animals and is just a great guy. He has stayed in our home both times and we trust him entirely. Will definitely rebook next time!”
“Dan is the best! We felt completely at ease leaving Waffles at home with him. He was very easy going but also attentive to detail. He provided waffles with his medicine, vitamins, and walks. Highly recommend.”
“We had such a great experience with Jade! She stayed at our home with Fig while we were away and took such wonderful care of him. She was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We came home to a happy pup and our house just as we left it. We would absolutely have her watch Fig again and highly recommend her!”

“Wow! Wow! Wow! There is nothing better than piece of mind and Xianting (Cynthia) gave me that in wonders. I have a timid dog and TNR cat that was previously feral. When she sent videos of my TNR cat rubbing against her leg, I nearly teared up. She worked hard to make my dog and cat feel comfortable and she succeeded. Kept me updated, very respectful of my house, and keen observations about what was going on. I am a believer and will use her any and every time. Highly recommend 100%!!!!!”
“Absolutely thrilled with Helena's dog-sitting services! From the moment I met her, I knew my Frenchies were in the best hands. Her deep understanding of dog behavior was evident right away, and her professionalism was top-notch. Helena provided me with twice-daily updates and photos, which brought me great comfort. She took exceptional care of my home, treating it as her own. My Frenchies can be quite a handful, but Helena handled them with ease and confidence. I have immense respect for her, and I will definitely be reaching out to her for future bookings. Highly recommend!”
“Felicia has only sat with our dog, Walter a couple of times, but she has been terrific. He loves her and is very relaxed when she is here. She is easy to reach and always on time. She will be one of our regular Rover sitters now!”
“Addie was fantastic! Our neurotic dogs were happy and healthy when we got home, so we know they got lots of love and attention. Addie washed the sheets and remade the bed. And, when our flight home was delayed, she was able to stay until she was sure we made it back! Highly recommend, will definitely book Addie again.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through owning some myself, a Yorkie, and my lost dog who was a german shepherd, husky mix. I also took care of my brother’s Pitbull on and off for several years. I also used to pet-sit another Pitbull, for around 5 years which gave me additional experience handling and caring for different dogs. I have had to give dogs medicine, feed them, walk them, & show them unconditional love. These experiences have helped me become comfortable around dogs and understand the importance of providing them with proper care, attention, and love. I currently am employed full time. I am always available though! Very flexible I work and live in the same area and my job is very flexible with me leaving for half an hour! I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I enjoy giving them attention, playing with them, keeping them happy, and making sure all their needs are met. Animals hold a special place in my heart, and I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. To me, caring for pets is more than just a responsibility—it’s a chance to make them feel like family.
“Alex stayed at our house with our dog and two cats for two weeks. He is AMAZING and we all adore him. He provides top notch pet care, learning their routines and loving them as much as you do. We can't wait to have him back. He's the best.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashton
Thank you SO so much to Gianna for her incredible care of our dog! She was so selfless and creative in handling an incident where our dog eloped in the middle of the night. She did everything right and made sure our girl came home safely! Has forever earned our trust! 10/10 booking!!!
Alissa was great. She communicated effectively and was willing to be flexible with an elderly pup who had some tummy issues and needed some dietary changes while we were away. She also left the house cleaner than when she got there. Cassi was well taken care of!
Mark did a fantastic job watching our pups while we were away. He followed all instructions as asked, including daily meds, gave them plenty of love and cuddles, and provided daily updates and photos. The house was also well taken care of and exactly as we left it. Would gladly recommend his services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ashton is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 11,280 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashton. 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 Ashton 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 Ashton 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 Ashton 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 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.

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.
