“Brenda was amazing!!! She took great care of our house and our cats. Sent pictures and updates, and left the house cleaner than she found it. 😁 We needed last minute help, and she was so flexible and accommodating! I would not hesitate to hire her again!”
“I interact with you very well, and vice versa. You are our go-to sitter of all time, now with Teddy as with Cindy. You are so tender and wise with our dogs.”
“Ann is always great about communicating and asking questions if she needs to find something to improve her stay for Gabby. I also really enjoyed the photo she shares with me while I’m gone.”
“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”
“Megan took excellent care of my pups while I was away. One of my dogs became ill right before I left. She kept me updated on his condition and her concerns, as well as handling my sassy girl! I will definitely use her services again! My pups loved her.”
“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
“This was our first time booking Evelin, and she did a fantastic job house sitting for our two Labrador puppies. They were clearly excited to see her when she arrived, which immediately put us at ease. Evelin spent plenty of time playing with them in the yard, which is one of their favorite activities, and made sure they received lots of attention and exercise. We returned home to happy, tired, and well cared for puppies. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Yvonne has been absolutely AMAZING! Not only do my dogs love her, but she takes amazing care of them AND the house while I’m gone. I had a cancelled flight the night I was supposed to be back, and she graciously took care of my pups an additional day than planned, and she also picked me up from the airport! I could not recommend her enough 🙂 10/10”
“Annalesse did a great job with our two dogs! She had good communication and she stayed to our dog’s schedule with their medicine they have to take twice daily. We got a picture everyday and an update with how they were doing.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Our pups were happy and calm when we returned home from a long afternoon/evening away. Tatyana definitely understands how to handle large, rambunctious (and love and adorable) dogs. She sent me pics throughout the evening as well, which was so lovely to receive.”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!”
“Once again, Jesse is incredible with our pets. She cares for them just like we would, and I couldn’t leave them with anything less than that level of love and care. Thank you Jesse for being awesome!”
“My dog is not the best with meeting new people, but Tina was so well with her and had a lot of patience and was able to get past that wall that Stella puts up! I absolutely felt at ease while on vacation knowing she was well taken care of!”
“We have wonderful things to say about Jennifer. She came to our house to meet Roma and talk about the job before we booked and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home. Our dog is almost 14 years old and has some special requirements that Jennifer was more than happy to comply with. Roma was in a cone while we were gone and Jennifer had to take it on and off to feed her and get her down the stairs in the morning and because of the cone, had to give her extra help up the stairs at night. She also needed oral medications which Jennifer was happy to make sure she got on schedule in the morning and evening. In addition to meeting Roma's special needs, Jennifer was all around professional. She send us daily updates with a photo and communicated when she had any kind of question about Roma's behavior, like her eating or difficulty getting up the stairs. Jennifer also was a great steward of our home while we were gone. She cleaned up after Roma in the back yard and took the garbage and recycling to the curb for us on garbage day. She also collected the mail for us and the house was very clean and tidy when we got home. We will definitely work with Jennifer again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
About: I grew up with two dogs and have owned guinea pigs for the last 6 years. I volunteer with a shelter where I walk and play with dogs. I also foster dogs with my rescue but do not currently have a foster. I currently work a full time job. I am available for lunchtime walks or enrichment. I am available during the evenings and weekends to care for your dog whether that’s walks, enrichment, or overnight sitting. I’m currently living in an apartment so any sitting would need to occur at your home! I can easily follow any directions you have to ensure your furry friend is well cared for. I’m looking forward to help with your needs. Please reach out with any questions!
“We are very pleased with Steph and her long weekend stay with our pup. We received timely updates and lots of photos! She handled eye drops for our dog that she needs daily, and left our house is pristine condition. Our dog was happy and well cared for while we were gone. We will most definitely use Steph again in the future!”
“River did great job taking care of my two big dogs while I was away for 4days. He sent pictures and updates. Very responsive and accommodating when I had to add another day. We'll be contacting River again!”
“Sidney was great! Very attentive, patient and kept us updated the whole time! We have a very energetic pup who is still learning manners and she was patient with him. We also have an old girl who can be a little unsure of new people and she gave her the time and space to warm up to her. The dogs were in great hands! We will be using Sidney again!”

Erin was amazing with our frenchie, Margo! She was friendly, sent updates, and my pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. It’s very clear that Erin’s a dog lover and that made me confident that our girl was going to well loved while we were out of town. I’d highly recommend Erin and we look forward to booking with her again very soon!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashton on Rover is $27.75 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 839 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 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.
