About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have trained many puppies and older dogs alike. All my dogs have been rescues so I’m very familiar with dogs that have come from bad situations and dogs that are misunderstood because of their breeds. I’ve always had dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I’m always the first person my friends and family go to when they need some extra help with t dogs or just need someone to watch them while on vacation. I live on 10 acres which is perfect for those dogs that love off leash time but don’t get a lot, I love exploring new areas and have assisted in training dogs while in the military. I'm a stay at home wife who takes care of all our animals! I adore dogs and take mine on several walks a day around the farm, we have a creek that the dogs can swim in as well in the nicer weather. Pets are my passion and I love hosting others in my home and going out to other places to walk pets! I live on twelve acres and can offer a safe environment for dogs to safely play in, I have extra long leads so if your pup isn’t quite off leash trained they can still have an amazing experience with the long leads and all the land. I always follow whatever instructions are left for me as I know how important routines can be for a pet!

“Jeannie is simply the best cat sitter, hands down. We knew immediately during the meet and greet that she was going to do a fantastic job with our cat, Nico, who has some health issues. She did not disappoint. We had a list of instructions and she did everything as we asked, which has not happened in the past. She was very kind and nurturing with Nico and we feel 100% comfortable leaving her in Jeannie's hands. We cannot recommend Jeannie highly enough. She's the real deal and we are extremely happy with her and her care.”

About: I grew up with a cat and am familiar with administering medication to cats. Although I have never owned a dog, I have cared for family members and friends dogs for multiple weeks at a time. I have experience house sitting with two large dogs - one of which had diabetes. I am very comfortable admitting shots and medications. I am an avid animal lover and understand the importance of caring for your animal! I have a hybrid work schedule and I am in office Tuesday - Thursday. I have a lot of flexibility on weekends and Mondays and Fridays for drop in visits and walks. I understand pets may be hesitant to greet me or engage upon my arrival. I am willing to follow any necessary instructions to make sure your pet is comfortable with me.

About: I've been caring for puppies and dogs for family members and friends for several years. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including young puppies that require extra patience, supervision, and consistency. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I’m currently working a part-time throughout the week. My preferred times are 9am-2pm to take walks, feed, playtime, or medication. Staying overnight shifts, I would love to know 3 days in advance for planning. Also my hours for house sitting is 7pm-next morning mostly Friday - Sunday. Weekdays is a little hectic for me but if it fits my schedule or something changed, we can figure something out, just send a message! Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely follow each pet's routine and care instructions. I offer regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care in a safe and comfortable setting. 🐾

Leah did an amazing job with our two pups, Raven and Cole. She was extremely communicative and took constant photos and detailed notes of her visits with the pups to let us know they were well cared for. She even left a present for the dogs- a few toys and a thoughtful note! We will definitely use her again as it’s been a fantastic experience!

We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Elona! She took care of our senior cat for a week, and the level of attention and care she provided was truly above and beyond. She diligently administered his anxiety and arthritis medications, kept all four of his water bowls fresh daily, played with his favorite toy to keep him happy, and even took the time to talk to him so he never felt alone. Our cat can be a handful with his special needs, but Elona handled everything with ease and genuine love. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet like family!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ashton on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
