“Loved Kaia and Desean! My little guy had sooo much fun! He was pretty much worthless for 3 days after picking him up because he was so tired! (And he can go for hours, so this made me extra happy lol) Will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them if you have a friendly and hyper dog. :)”
“We feel like Laura and Spirit have become pals. Laura treats her like her furry roommate. We plan to leave Spirit with her anytime that it works out. She has a true love for and knowledge of dogs, that is very obvious in talking to her. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Samantha was amazing and so easy to work with! She responded so quickly to my messages and was always kind! Our Ellie (golden retriever) had the best time playing with Samantha’s golden Blair. We definitely recommend Samantha and look forward to booking with her in the future.”
“Kayla took care of my puppy for 4 days. She was very attentive to the schedule I gave her and giving his medication at the times I asked. She gave me frequent updates and pictures so I never had to worry about what my dog was doing. A great dogsitter!”
“Samantha helped me out at the last minute and was wonderful!! I have an older dog that I don’t just leave with anyone, and I was very pleased!! Thanks so much! I would definitely use her again!”
“Kimmey is absolutely amazing! I was nervous with this being my first time away from my dog, but Kimmey made it easy to enjoy my time away with family knowing that my dog was receiving the best care. She frequently sent updates on how my dog was doing and took care to pay attention to my dog's individual enrichment interests and needs. My dog had a blast and she misses Kimmey and her wonderful family already! I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Brian and Sue are like Maggie’s adoptive parents! Maggie’s loves them and was clearly sad to leave after a 4-night stay! Can’t say enough about how happy we are to have them to watch Maggie when we can’t take her with us!”
About: I have had my beagle for almost 6 years and one of my favorite things to do is take her to cute parks I find. If you know anything about beagles, you know they are very curious dogs who arent that great at walks - so I am experienced in taking care of slightly difficult dogs and love them regardless!! I am currently a biomedical sciences student at Auburn university. With my current schedule, I am in class until 1:00 on Mon/Wed and from 12:30-4:00 Tues/Thurs. Fridays I am unavailable until 5:00pm. I have a fenced in yard and an open courtyard nearby. My family dog has a lot of energy, so I am used to playing lots of games to get some of that energy out!
“Donald is the best care giver. He shares updates and pictures frequently while we can relax knowing he is giving the best care. He is very prompt in his responses to any message we send anytime. We could tell our pup Rani was well cared for like family and she is very comfortable with him too!!”
“Heather was amazing. Very warm personality who my dog felt comfortable with immediately. Kind of nervous stepping out and doing something new, but Heather put my nerves at ease. I recommend her”
About: I have had pets my whole life! cats, bunnies ,dogs ,mice ,chicken. I love animals and will love yours as I do mine! (which is a lot!!) right now I am a collage student working once a week at the hospital. and classes only Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of free time. for house sitting i have a lovely 5 month old doodle that loves all animals and is available to play if wanted and if not that’s okays to. i love to go on walks to just chill and snuggle anything that your pet needs or likes to do!
“Maddie was amazing! I got updates and pictures during my dog’s stay. She was attentive to his needs and worked with him to make sure he was comfortable throughout his stay”
“Audrey was absolutely wonderful! She sent us updates and pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog clearly had a great time, he played every day, seemed completely comfortable, and was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. In the past, he has sometimes seemed nervous or skittish after staying with other sitters, but that was not the case at all with Audrey. We could tell he felt safe, well cared for, and genuinely enjoyed his stay. We were extremely satisfied with the care she provided and would gladly recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We will definitely use her again!”
About: Was a human nurse, now I'm a full time student. I have raised two children and I own dog and two cats, caring is in my nature. I am a furgrandma to two beautiful amazing dogs. I work M-F at an office job with flexibility. This allows me lots of freedom, my kids are 19, and 21 so no restrictions at home. I do work M-F, 8-5pm. I can leave work if need be to check on your pet more often then just the walk, and of course if I'm staying the night; I’ll be right over after work. I will follow your instructions to the T, as long as it's safe for the animal and me! I want your furbaby to feel as comfortable as possible.
“Stacy was the best sitter I could’ve asked for! She is super responsible and experienced with dogs and cats and I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She communicated extremely well and sent updates and pictures every day! Would 100% recommend her to anyone :)”
About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable pet lover who treats every pet like family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy playtime, walks, feeding, cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also happy to give extra attention to puppies, senior pets, and pets who need a little more patience and care. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and quality time with your pet. I’ll communicate with you throughout the stay and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet in a safe environment, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting your home, I’ll treat your pet and your space with respect. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: As a dedicated dog owner who has personally utilized Rover services, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for your furry family member. My positive experiences as a client have inspired me to offer the same level of attentive and loving care to others. I am reliable, caring, and committed to treating your pets as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in your absence. Whether it’s providing regular updates, maintaining routines, or offering plenty of playtime and affection, I strive to give both pets and their owners peace of mind. I do not currently work so your dog will have plenty of attention and time for exercise while they are staying with us. They will get plenty of time outside from playing to walks as well as potty breaks. We do not have a fenced yard but we live in a quiet neighborhood with a large yard next to the cul de sac. We use proper leashes when necessary and have room for indoor play. Our dogs have always been part of our family.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Auburn is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Lauren was so sweet! Kept me updated with photos and celebrated my furry baby’s birthday with a pup cup! I loved her aura and energy. My pup is usually scared when meeting new people never mind being left somewhere his is unfamiliar with but he didn’t flinch with Lauren. He was comfortable. Will book with her from this point forward. 10/10 recommend!
She and her family are absolutely the best! They took such great care of both of my dogs, and I felt completely relaxed and comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. They were also very flexible and understanding when my flight was canceled and was willing to extend their stay. Both of my dogs came home so happy, and I could tell they had a wonderful time! I truly appreciate all their care and kindness. I highly recommend and will definitely book with them again.🐶
Allie and her family were wonderful pet sitters & super knowledgeable about dogs and behavior as they have several of their own! I felt very sure my pup was in good and patient hands. She was also super easy to communicate with to set up a meet & greet, coordinate drop off/pick up, and general updates/pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely try to book with them again in the future!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our puppy was spoiled with so much love, cuddles, walks, and playtime. I especially loved receiving all the photos and videos throughout the stay! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was happy, loved, and well cared for. You can tell how much love and attention went into caring for our puppy. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend Stacie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!
Tori was so good with my 13 year old Yorkie. She gave him lots of attention and engagement and didn’t mind if she needed to take him out more often. He came back calm and sleeping through the night again! Her communication with us was always clear and she kept the pictures coming. She even had a little place in her home specifically for a pet. It was like he was staying at a good friends house who had known him all his life. We are so grateful! Finding a good boarding sitter is hard but we struck gold with Tori!
Addie's stay with Liz and her family went very well! She was very well cared for and seemed to fit in quickly! We were updated regularly via text, including photos and comments about her adventures with Liz and Tucker's dog, Emmy. They seemed to become fast friends and enjoyed spending time together in the big, beautiful backyard. I would highly recommend booking Liz for your boarding needs! She and her warm, inviting family will make your pet feel very much at home and provide you with great peace of mind!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Auburn can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Auburn home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Auburn.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Auburn sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
