“Ashley is a 5-star sitter! She was respectful of our home, provided thoughtful daily updates, and most importantly, gave exceptional care to our treasured kitties. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I combine compassionate, hands-on care with experience tailored to dogs at every life stage. I’m skilled in puppy training basics including crate training, potty routines, and positive-reinforcement commands, so young pups stay consistent and confident while you’re away. I’m also experienced with senior dog care, providing gentle support, medication reminders, slow-paced walks, and extra comfort for older pups who need a little more patience and attention. I focus on keeping each dog’s routine familiar, stress-free, and full of affection. Above all, I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood from the moment I arrive. I currently work part-time, which gives me lots of free time to spend with your pup and plenty of flexibility to match their routine. Because my schedule is so open, I can provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also available for house-sitting during the week, making it easy to maintain your dog’s normal schedule in the comfort of their home. My flexibility allows me to adapt to puppies who need frequent attention, seniors who prefer a calm pace, or any dog who simply loves extra company. Your pet’s needs come first, and I make sure my routine fits seamlessly around theirs. At home, I keep a calm, structured environment centered around safety, routine, and plenty of affection. I have two dogs of my own, a 7-year-old Yorkie–Schnauzer mix named Coco and a 3-year-old Staffordshire Pitbull named Raptor who are both friendly, well-behaved, and fully crate-trained. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely aka feeding schedules, walk times, crate routines, and any house rules you prefer. I keep your pet’s environment stress-free, maintain clear communication, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, supervision, and comfort. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, understood, and completely at ease.
“Grace was amazing! Our boys need lots of exercise and play and she met that demand with flying colors. She left the house clean and followed all instructions for meds. She is very kind and my Border Collie even likes her. We will definitely use Grace again to take care of our precious boys.”
“Eva was a great dog sitter for us. She was so nice and was able to accommodate our dates sort of at the last minute. Our dog seemed to feel very comfortable with her and it was so nice that we didn’t have to board our dog at the kennel. I had left lots of instructions for Eva and she seemed to have followed all of them perfectly! I felt totally comfortable with her staying over night in our house. All around it was a great experience and we will definitely plan to use her services again in the future! We highly recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Olnes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 81 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olnes. 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 Olnes 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 Olnes 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 Olnes 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.
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.
