“Xena was great with my dog, Penny! She took great pictures and sent updates throughout the day. She communicated well and I could tell my dog was well taken care of. Thanks, Xena! 😊”
“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!”
“Malek took care of our anxious dog during an extended trip out of state. He made a very good contact with our dog and kept me informed about how they were doing. Malek stayed at our house during the sit. Overall, I had peace of mind while traveling and I highly recommend Malek.”
“Justin was absolutely wonderful to have as a pet sitter. He was very responsive from the beginning and was fantastic with our cat & dog. He took great care of our home while we were away and will definitely book with him again!”
“Madeline is great with Holly. She is also incredible as a human. She is great in communication. She is responsible and reliable. She is kind and intelligent. You can trust her completely. Cannot recommend her more.”
“One of the best sitters I have had. Frequent updates, followed all instructions, went above and beyond. Dash was happy, well cared for, fed, clean, and loved. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Shannon.”
“Julianne was awesome staying with our fur babies! Our pup was clearly comfortable with her from the meet and greet and she made sure he got plenty of love while we were gone. She even braved the cold to get him a walk, which we know he appreciated (and we did too!). We really hope to have Julianne stay again!”
“Tamea took great care of my baby Ceezy and he just loved her! She sent lots of pics to keep us updated and we came back to a clean house and happy dog! Will be using her again ❤️”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Kayla was reliable, caring, and kept me updated every day with pictures of my pets, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pets were well cared for and happy! I definitely would trust her to watch my pets again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was amazing!!! Ella (dog) is high anxiety and reactive to other dogs. She took to Amanda immediately like she knew her for years. Amanda sent pictures and updates, just a wonderful experience. We will definitely be using her again 🩷🩷🩷”
About: I'm a dog-mom of a pup named Bear! I absolutely adore my dog and would share my love with your furry-friend! I've had Bear since he was a puppy and he's now 4. So, I know first hand the level of care needed for puppies and teen dogs. I'm comfortable with cats as well! I've been around kittens and cats for most of my life through many of my friends. So, I'm very comfortable and familiar with the care they need. I work remote, so my schedule is pretty flexible. As long as I have good notice I'm happy to care for your furry-friend! I do ask that if there are any request during regular business hours (8 am- 6 pm), that I can bring my work laptop. I love my dog very much and am really on top of his care/needs, so I completely understand and expect that from pet owners. I welcome any insights or feedback on how you'd like your pet to be cared for. I'll also be sure to provide updates, videos, and photos to show how things are going. I love getting those for my dog, so l'll be sure to provide that to you! I work remote, so my schedule is pretty flexible. As long as I have good notice I’m happy to care for your pup!

About: Hi! I’m a devoted animal lover and a single mom to my almost 5-year-old son, Tucker. Animals have always been a special part of our lives. For more than 15 years, I’ve helped care for my parents’ dogs, including watching them whenever my parents travel, so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, attentive, and loving caring for your pets. Our family also has a gecko, and we previously cared for baby chicks, so we’re comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs. Tucker especially adores dogs and has been hoping for one of his own. Since our current lease does not allow us to have a dog, pet sitting gives us the wonderful opportunity to share our love, attention, and care with your furry family member. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. Any interaction with Tucker will be closely supervised and based entirely on your pet’s comfort level and your preferences. We would love to give your pet plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship while giving you peace of mind that they are being treated like family. Tucker is home for the summer, and I work from home three days a week, letting me give pets plenty of love, attention, and care. I care for pets in their own homes or ours depending on the schedules, following their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routines. We’re also available for overnight stays when needed.
“Tyler was great with our dog! Tyler was communicative, responsive, sent us lots of pictures and our dog seemed to be comfortable around her. Will definitely book Tyler for a future occasion.”
About: I have been around dogs almost my whole life and enjoy taking care of them! I got my dog when I was around 15 and she is genuinely the best part of my life! I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust enough to take care of your dog and will make sure that I can be that person for others. I’ve dog sat for people throughout the years and it is such an amazing experience to spend time with the dogs. I am currently searching for a full time job after recently finishing university so my availability to take care of your furry loved ones is pretty open. Growing up my mom has always been employed as a house cleaner and would take me with her to help, from a young age I’ve always known how to respect people’s homes even when they are not present. Ensuring that people are comfortable enough to trust me with their pet in their home is my utmost priority.
“Tyasia was great. She was quick to respond and easy to book. Kaci had a blast with her and I know this because he slept a lot the next day lol. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Gabby was truly a dream come true! She was available on short notice and was genuinely eager to care for my dog and two cats. From the start, it was clear how much love and attention she gave them. They were incredibly well cared for and happy in her care. When my dog became very sick during her stay, Gabby went above and beyond. She didn’t hesitate to take him to the vet, manage his medications, and stay on top of follow-ups with the veterinary team. Her calmness, responsibility, and willingness to take charge during a stressful situation meant so much to me. Gabby was also wonderful about communicating throughout her stay, regularly sending photos and updates so I always knew how my animals were doing. I highly recommend Gabby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, kind, responsible, and loving to look after their pets. I would absolutely have her care for my animals again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashton
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!
Gianna did a great job with the dogs. Not only did she really care about animals, as was evident by our first meeting, but she read my (ridiculously detailed) instructions and remembered everything in them, really following the dogs' routine and understanding what they wanted before they - or I - even had to ask. She sent tons of great pictures and we felt confident that the dogs were in great hands. What we didn't know is that our house, too, was in great hands - it was cleaner when we came home than it was when we left! Seriously: even the dog toys, which are usually scattered all over the house, were all in their toy basket for the first time in years. We highly recommend Gianna to anyone considering her services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
