“Anna took very good care of my cat for a week and even kept my outdoor planter garden from wilting during a heat wave. Although shy at first, my cat clearly warmed up to Anna after a few days and seemed calm and content when I returned. Anna has my recommendation!”
“Taylor was amazing while we were away! She kept our two cats happy and well fed while we were out as well, it seems they had a great time and I would definitely consider her in the future!”
“Linda was great! She was so sweet with our dog, he obviously liked her and he’s not very social. She was always timely and sent detailed reports along with plenty of photos. We will definitely enlist her in the future to care for our dog.”
“Abigail did a wonderful job with my pup, Maple, and my two cats! She catered to their every need. Would definitely recommend Abigail! Cannot thank her enough for covering over the 4th of July weekend!”
“Another great visit for a fur baby with Ms. Jill! I tried to tip more but the app cut me off. Rover needs to fix that for the fabulous folks that treat out babies like family.”
“Emily did a wonderful job looking after my cat while I was on vacation. She followed all the instructions perfectly and shared lots of photos daily - my furry baby felt very safe and happy in her care. Very grateful for Emily’s help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted pet sitter :)”
“Allison is an absolute dream of a cat sitter! From our first communication, she was warm, responsive, and thoughtful. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals, and my cat felt it too! While I was away, Allison sent me thorough updates with photos that put my mind at ease and made me smile. Allison went above and beyond in every way, and it’s such a gift to know my cat is in such capable, compassionate hands. Thank you, Allison!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats from high school throughout college. I love spending time with animals so your pets will have safe and loving experiences each day! I am currently working in a research lab over the summer, but I am very flexible. I will be completely available on the weekends to look after your fur babies! I live in a small apartment, so I will not be able to board pets. However, I am right next to Auburn University's main campus. Plenty of long walks to be had!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I safely handled dogs and cats of all sizes, administered medications and vaccines under veterinary supervision, monitored pets during recovery, and learned to recognize signs of illness or distress. I'm also experienced with senior pets, puppies and kittens, and pets that need a little extra patience or special care. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, someone to stick to a medication schedule, or simply lots of love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and my goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages. I'm currently taking a gap year before beginning my bachelor's degree in Wildlife Ecology Management at Auburn University. This gives me a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. My availability may vary slightly from day to day, but I keep my calendar up to date and always communicate clearly. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra attention while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors and pets that require medication. During every visit, I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always respect your home, follow your care instructions closely, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return!
“Laura was so great! She came over beforehand to meet my pup and make sure I was super comfortable. She left a detailed comment and great pics! Laura was also very good at communicating.”
“Renee was such a great sitter for our German Shepherd while we were out of town. She provided detailed daily updates and photos, and our dog looked forward to seeing her every day!”
“Kailyn did such a fantastic job watching my little Coco! My cat is very energetic and needs a lot of attention. Kailyn played with her and gave her so much love during every visit. She always sent me updates and was great at communicating. I already have her booked to watch Coco again in October and November!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, giving medications if needed, and making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m a patient, attentive, and reliable person who takes the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a calmer approach. I’ll always treat your pet like my own and make sure they get plenty of care, affection, and attention. I’m a full-time college student, so pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Outside of classes and studying, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to during my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine so their pet feels comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any specific care instructions. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping the home clean, safe, and respected. Communication is important to me, so I also provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured while they’re away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Kailyn was wonderful with my cats. I was nervous about letting someone else take care of them, but she came by the week before my trip to meet them, sent plenty of photos, and spent time playing with them. She respected my oldest cat’s no-pet boundary while still including her through parallel play. She was also very patient and kind when there was an issue with the key. I would absolutely book her again!
Anna took very good care of my cat for a week and even kept my outdoor planter garden from wilting during a heat wave. Although shy at first, my cat clearly warmed up to Anna after a few days and seemed calm and content when I returned. Anna has my recommendation!
Anna did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. She was always on time, very professional, and made sure my pet received their medical pills as needed. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my pet was in such reliable and caring hands. I truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

She spent quality time with my pets& i could tell they were loved while i was away:)) she is also super sweet& responds quickly. she also worked with me when i made it back to my babies a little later than anticipated. you won’t regret hiring her, & ill be recommending her x1000!!
Because of a family trip, we had to find someone to care for our cats on short notice. Nikita responded incredibly quickly and handled everything we asked for in a very professional manner. She also always left us photos of our cats during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Most importantly, she treated our cats like family, and our cats absolutely loved her visits. If we travel again in the future, we will definitely be reaching out to Nikita without any hesitation.
Alana is absolutely amazing! This is the third time she has watched my cat, Cypher, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. Cypher absolutely adores her, and it’s clear how attentive, patient, and caring she is with her. It’s such a relief knowing my pet is in the best hands while I’m away. I highly recommend Alana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and truly wonderful pet sitter! 🐾💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Auburn on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
