About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and birds. I currently have a senior dog of my own and pet budgies, so I understand how important it is to provide safe, attentive, and loving care. I’m comfortable feeding, refreshing water, going on walks, giving plenty of playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience and care I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student with classes that finish around lunchtime, which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to care for your pets. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to help them feel at ease. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, provide lots of love and attention, and treat every home with respect. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll communicate with regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.
“Mari did an amazing job. From when she came to meet my pets through my entire vacation she demonstrated care and concern for all of them and made sure they were happy and loved. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been taking care of family and neighbors dogs for a long time, with experience in cat and horse caretaking as well for a long time as well but not as much as dogs. I’m available most weekends and later in the day on weekdays, my schedule isn’t too busy overall so I can be flexible if need be. I have a good amount of experience caring for my neighbors dogs at their house, I am open to walking dogs during time away from home as well if needed.
“Willow was fantastic, being extremely attentive and patient with my skittish kitty. She additionally kept me updated throughout the time and delt with surprises with grace (sorry again about the poop)! I'll definitely look to Willow again for future sitting.”
“Anthony went above and beyond for my dog while I was away. He made sure to get him good exercise in while doing drop in visits and my dog was very happy to see him every time. 10/10”
About: As a vet student, I am very knowledgeable about animal health and behavior. I will treat your pet as one of my own while you’re away! I am currently on summer break so I’m home 90% of the time. I will make sure your dog is walked at least 3x a day and receives treats! I have a friendly 3 year old cat who loves making new friends. I have a patio where your baby can get sunlight and I can also send you pictures upon your request.
About: I have had both cats and dogs and am comfortable taking care of both. I’ve also lived with multiple cats and dogs at one time. I cared for my current dog through a knee surgery so can handle recovering animals. My dog has travel anxiety so I am used to administering pills if necessary. I’ve lived with small dogs and big dogs. I’ve lived with a dog with behavioral issues. I am trustworthy, reliable, and communicative. Happy to send pictures and updates about the status of your animals! I am currently unemployed and available when needed. I can stay the night or drop in for potty breaks and spend time with your animal. Please let me know what you’re looking for and we’ll see if it’s a fit! Let’s discuss what you need for your pet together and go from there! I am able to stay at your place and do drop ins.
About: “I’,ve taken care of families pets and animals on my parents farm I also own 25 pets at my parents farm and I love taking care of all animals even potty training for puppies I work from home and have a lot of free time on my hands so I believe pet sitting would be a good opportunity to help other , pet owners and become a good part of my weekly routine. The way I care for pets under my care is paying full attention to them in my environment an providing pictures and videos every few hours to clients to know there pet is in good care.
About: I have over 15 years of experience with all types of animals. I have a deep affection for animals and understand the importance of their well-being. Whether it’s a playful dog or a curious cat, I always take the time to understand their unique behaviors and needs. I am attentive and patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. For pet owners, knowing that I can offer reliable care provides peace of mind—whether it’s a quick check-in, a thoughtful response to any concerns, or simply understanding how to make their pets feel at ease. My love for animals is grounded in the belief that pets deserve kindness, respect, and consistent care. I focus on building a trusting bond with each pet so they feel comfortable and safe in my presence. For pet owners, this trust is invaluable—it means you can leave home knowing that your furry friend is not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were my own. I will be taking this position fulltime ensuring exercise and playtime, feeding and medication routine, rest and comfort. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine ensures your pet receives consistent attention, love, and the appropriate level of care to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. Your pet’s well-being is always a priority, and my routine revolves around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. My home is pet-proofed to ensure there are no hazards, such as toxic plants, sharp objects, or unsafe areas that your pet could access. All windows and doors are securely closed or locked to prevent any escapes, and I always monitor pets closely when they’re outside to ensure they’re safely contained. Your pet will have a designated, cozy sleeping area that is safe and comfortable, whether it’s their bed, crate, or a spot they’re familiar with. I will ensure that this area is free from distractions and potential dangers, allowing them to rest peacefully and securely. I’ll keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, including feeding times, exercise, and rest. If they’re on medication or need specific care, I will ensure they receive the correct dosage at the right times. Sticking to their usual routine helps minimize stress and makes them feel more at home in my care.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life as well as dog and cat sitting since I was 16 years old. I have helped potty train dogs as well as bird dog training. I own my own company and create my own hours so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I am able to sit whenever I want to and keep up with my own work. I live in an apartment where we have balconies that have locks and railings to keep animals safe as well as a fenced in dog park for any playtime activities. We also have a safe complex where we can do long walks. For safety purposes cats are not allowed on the balcony while with me. We also have doors with special codes so animals can not escape and doors at either of the hall where pets can not make it down the stairs on their own.
About: I volunteer at a humane society in Lee County weekly. I have lots of experience in drop-ins, especially with multiple dogs including a pitbull. I absolutely adore pets of any size, age or breed. I also have 2 senior dogs of my own and am very receptive to their needs. I am currently working part time with a flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of opportunities to drop in and care for your pets! I am very careful when it comes to other people’s homes and I leave every space nicer than how I found it. I would much prefer to care for your pets in their own home rather than mine, as I live with my family and we have our own dogs.
About: I’ve had 2 german shepherds from puppy to old age and have always been the first to volunteer for pet sitting for neighbors, friends, family, etc. I love animals, especially high energy dogs, and have taken in strays for short term periods. I currently work full time, but have flexibility before and after my shifts, and during my lunch! Thursdays are my only days that I can’t promise an ideal level of availability. I’m definitely an early riser so i’m always available for early mornings! I’m someone who takes instruction very seriously. If you make a list of wants and needs, i’ll do my best to meet exactly those and more. My own home is not super pet friendly at the moment so I like to stick with clients homes!
About: I’ve taken care of any pet you can think of even bunnies so I promise I can take care of your pets to any specifications they need to be happy and healthy!! I’ve house sat and pet sat for many families in my home town so I’m excited to work with your fur babies and you!! I work full time for a great company, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to available any day after around 3 p.m. I do believe in a good LONG walk in the mornings and nights to tire the fur babies out for a good nap or nights rest!! I have a Morkie at home who loves to cuddle, go on walks, and play at all times of the day so I’m well prepared for anything your fur babies throws my way. If you need your plants taken care, dishes washed, puppies taken to the vet I can do it ALL. I’m here to take care of not only your fur babies, but your home as well!!
About: This is my job. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies when you go outta town and I want to be able to provide comfort and care for your animals while you are gone. I love and care for animals and their wellbeing. I believe finding someone good and kind for your fur babies matters. I make sure they get plenty of pets and attention. I don’t let their water run out and refill as much as possible especially during summer. I am understanding and patient with animals especially if they have high energy and need to be outside a bit more than others to get some exercise/ energy out. I care about animals period. I have a pretty big range of experience with different dogs. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at a time different sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of a diabetic cat (my baby she lived a very long life 19 years) I have taken care of a diabetic dog also. I got a puppy 8-weeks who is now 5 years old which he is a husky so very energetic and talkative. Taken care of giving elderly dogs medicine. I communicate pretty well. I also make taking care of your fur babies a priority. Thank you for choosing me! I can house sit and stay overnights if needed. I will make taking care of your fur babies a priority and treat them as if their were mine. (I have a husky) If you do a drop in visit I will be there longer than just 30 minutes. I don’t like to leave my baby for more than 4-5 hours max. That’s why I offer going to drop in 3 times. I don’t mind traveling to make sure your fur baby is taken care of throughout the day. I can take your fur baby walking giving them water and some love. If you have a fenced in yard I will still go and watch them outside you never know what could happen. I will update you as much as you would like.
“Alexis was amazing! We had her do drop in visits for our three pups while we were out of town. She was super friendly and very timely with all of her visits. She took great care of our pups and we were so happy they were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely rebook her services in the future!!”
“Madison is great! My dog is skittish around new people and seemed to do very well with her! She arrives on time and takes care of girl perfectly! Highly recommended!”

Skylar was absolutely perfect. Two of our dogs are elderly, and need a little extra care. That normally worries us when we have to leave our pets in someone else's care, but Skylar left us with no doubt. She cleaned up their messes, wiped their eye boogers, walked them and just loved them in our absence. Whenever we need help again, we'll be sure to contact her.
Lauren was phenomenal! She watched over our two dogs for almost a week. She consistently checked in with us, sent pictures, and updates. I felt extremely comfortable with her. I would absolutely refer her to anyone needing pet sitting or drop ins. She was more communicative than any other sitter we have had in the past. We loved her!
Bella has done such a great job with our 2 dogs. One of them is a grumpy, achy senior and she gives him his medicine and a massage. The other is a very active, chase-obsessed border collie, and she wears him out with attention. She even brought the boys some new tennis balls! I am so glad to have found Bella to help us when we are out of town!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Auburn is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Auburn 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
