“Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.”
“Brad did a fantastic job caring for our senior Greyhound in our home during an international trip. He was communicative, responsive, and asked questions when needed to ensure he was providing the best care for our girl. I’m very grateful that Brad’s professionalism allowed us to have a worry-free vacation! And a bonus- the house looks even better than when we left it.”
“Annie was a wonderful Dog sitter. She was reliable, kind, attentive and I loved her great communication and getting the daily pictures of my crazy dogs while we were on vacation. We have two giant dogs and they can be a handful but she took on the challenge and my dogs loved her. I would highly recommend. Thank you so much Annie”
About: Growing up on a farm I have had experience with animals my whole life. I have had small dogs of my own since I was born and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I can accommodate almost any pet! I am fully available Thursday evening, Friday-Sunday all day and night. I will have time to give your pets full attention! I will be available to take they out and walk as often as requested. I have a large fenced yard and two small friendly dogs to keep your company or they can be kept separate if you wish. I take the time to ensure all pets are safe and attended to.
“Libby did a wonderful job taking care of our two golden retrievers - one very young and energetic and one 12 years old. She sent pictures each day. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had dogs and all sorts of pets in my house my whole life. I have experience with dogs of all types and ages from training puppies only a couple months old to caring for very old dogs. I constantly take care of neighbors and friends dogs when they’re away and I can’t wait to love on yours as well. 💗 I am a rising senior student-athlete at WCU and have a good amount of during the day most days to walk dogs as well as plenty of time most weekends to dog sit/house sit. I always keep on eye on the pet and in the same room as me if dog/housesitting. I give them plenty of love and attention and let them out and for walks whenever needed and instructed. I will love each and every pet I work with as my own!
“There’s no words that can describe the amazing experience my dogs and I had using Heathers house sitting and dog walking services! My dogs used to go the kennel and would seem depressed and scared when getting them home. I came back after 4 days and the dogs acted like I just left. Apparently they didn’t need to miss me since they were showered with love and affection the entire time. Heather doesn’t mention it on her profile, but she sends you the most fantastic photos of your pet!! The photos you receive seem like you hired her specifically for glamor shots of your pets. I’m actually excited to take another vacation knowing that there’s an amazing soul like Heather that will care for your pets like they are her own!”
“Teresa did an excellent job of keeping us informed, sending pictures, and letting us know of concerns (e.g., running low on meds). We would definitely have her back :)”
“mackenzie did a great job with our 2 dogs! she was a great communicator and it was so easy setting up a meet and greet. the house was spotless & the boys were so relaxed when we got back so i know they had a great weekend too :) so thankful to have found our dog sitter !! thank you mackenzie!”
“Amy took very good care of my fur babies. She walked and fed them every day, plus stayed at the house. She even got my “scary cat” to come out of hiding. I have booked her for a second housesitting for a longer period of time. I trust her but most of all the fur babies trust her. I would recommend her to anybody.”
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and currently have two black labs, ages 7 and 14, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with specialized needs. I have experience providing medication, administering inhalers, using doggie diapers, and helping older dogs stay comfortable and maintain their routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I strive to give every pet the same care and attention that I give my own. I’m currently a student at Penn State University pursuing degrees in Accounting and Finance while completing my Master’s in Accounting and studying for the CPA exam. Pet owners can count on me to be responsible, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently a student studying for the CPA exam, but have lots of flexibility, especially during the standard work day. I also have weekend availability though it is more limited. I currently only care for pets at my clients’ homes. The type of care provided is dependent on each owner and the instructions they provide to best care for their pets.
“Laura is professional, communicative, and wonderful with pets! We had to leave town last minute for a family emergency and were super grateful to find Laura. We had her stay at our home and were pleased to find everything clean and organized when we returned, and we got multiple pics of our pup each day! Would 100% recommend!”
About: I have had a love for animals my entire life, and have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages for nearly 10 years! I have a dog of my own, a sweet 9 year old Cavapoo named Shamrock, and have also cared for many of my neighbors’ dogs over the years. While I am much more experienced with dogs, I have also cared for cats, lizards, and fish in the past. I want to give you and your pet the best experience I can through feeding, playing, and walking! I am a student at West Chester University, so I do have classes during the week, but I still have plenty of time to give your pet a great experience! I am very comfortable with all animals, and can do whatever you’d like me to! I am always down to hang out and play with your animal, but can also crate them after feeding them if preferred.
“Alix did a wonderful job taking care of our two fur babies and our home for a long weekend!! Our dog has some anxiety with new people and Alix was very respectful and made sure she was comfortable. Alix was very responsive throughout the stay and I could tell our cat and dog were in very good hands. Our house was left in prestinse condition and Alix was extremely thoughtful and even left a nice note and gift. We would highly recommend and use Alix again!!!”
About: We love taking care of dogs and cats. Walking dogs makes us feel at peace and I get my steps in while enjoying the borough We’re currently available all days of the week, any time! I usually go at the requested time and feed and/or walk the dog to a nearby park and walk around the perimeter of the residence We walk dogs in and around the borough. I can also take them to parks around the borough for an extra fee. At home, I feed them, play with them a little. I’m open to any reasonable requests as well!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashwell
I learned about Richardo through a trusted source where he came highly recommended (rescue organization I foster for), and have used him twice for several days each time. The bottom line is that he is fantastic with dogs and I highly recommend him!! And I am picky! My dogs need to be with someone I like and trust. I have a somewhat older German Shepard rescue who is fearful of some people and things. My second dog is a young I’d say “spirited” Golden Retriever. He gets both of them. My German Shepard likes Richardo and warmed up to him immediately, which means everything. My dogs were clearly happy while I was gone and I could tell also when I came home. For example, this past week the wild fires in Canada affected the area so they had to be inside. He kept them busy with toys, etc. He communicates well too, which is important to all of us. I highly recommend Richardo!
Gabrielle went above and beyond to take care of our senior dog, who needs a little extra t.l.c. due to illness and anxiety. She was very responsive and responsible and kept us updated and reassured while we were away. She not only took excellent care of our dog, but also kept our home clean and neat and left everything better than she found it. We highly recommend Gabrielle and will not hesitate to hire her again!
Gabby is a delight! This is the second time we've had her over to dog sit for us. Our pup loves her and she's so sweet. We appreciate that she's willing to hang out with Evie for a couple hours while we are out so she doesn't get into any trouble. Thanks again, Gabby!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashwell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashwell on Rover is $41.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,037 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashwell. 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 Ashwell 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 Ashwell 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 Ashwell 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.
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.
