“The best Dogsitter I’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog (and my house) were safe and taken care of. She watched my dog during the big freeze and so it was an especially stressful time to be out and doing things, but she made sure everything was good and my dog was happy, even in the bad weather!”


About: I have many years of experience taking care of a variety of different dog and cat breeds as I grew up traveling all over the world. I have a lot of online classes so only my mornings are decently busy. I don’t currently have another job right now so my afternoons are very open. I am very good at keeping a schedule and making sure they are fed on time, have plenty of fresh water and exercise, and feel comfortable and safe. I make an effort to follow the pets usual routine. I also am very happy to provide regular updates and pictures.

About: I love all sorts of cats and dogs, and have been pet sitting since I was 13. I am now trying to make money for college, and spending time with pets seems like the best way to do it This is my only job at the moment, so I can be very flexible with any times & dates. The one thing is that I am not much of a morning person, but I will be very happy to comply with any time if an early check-in is needed :) I would be more than happy to give your pet all of the attention it needs, as well as feed them, give them water, clean their litter box, take them outside, clean up their messes, or help them with anything they might need! Just let me know!
“Carly was a wonderful sitter for my 2 young and energetic dogs! I highly recommend her, she sent detailed updates about each dog and made sure I was up to date with how they were doing. Will definitely want to use her again in the future!”

“Emily was great! She gave a full description of each visit she had and sent plenty of pics! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”


“Abby came over to meet us and Roxy before we left and was very friendly. She made visits as we had requested and sent a picture every day. Everything seems to have gone well. We will request Abby again for future dog sitting needs.”

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like they're my own. As a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) student and someone who has worked in a veterinary clinic, I have experience recognizing signs of illness, handling pets safely, administering basic care, and understanding the importance of following medical and behavioral instructions. This background allows me to provide an extra level of confidence and care for pets of all ages. Whether we're going for a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I focus on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I'm happy to follow your instructions to keep them happy and stress-free while you're away. I'm patient with puppies who are still learning and can reinforce basic training and routines. I'm also attentive to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra care, or medication schedules. I'll also send cute pictures/videos so you know your dog is getting all the attention and love they deserve! As a veterinary student at Auburn, my weekdays are generally structured around classes from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I'm available for early morning visits and walks before class, as well as evening visits after class. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time with pets through walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life, and I enjoy making time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting your home and leaving it just as I found it. As a DVM student with veterinary clinic experience, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and will communicate any concerns promptly. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around animals all my life. Family and friends have trusted me for all of their pet-sitting needs for years. I currently have two dogs. I’ve dog sat dogs of all ages in my home and in the owners’ homes. Last fall, I witnessed a man dumping two dogs near my home. One of them was pregnant. We were able to raise the puppies and give them and the mom to loving homes. We kept the other dog and now her and the chiweenie that we already owned are best friends. I also have experience with special needs dogs. My chiweenie recently lost his left eye after another dog jumped on him. I've learned to be patient with him as he regains confidence and navigates everyday life with one eye. I am a full-time student at college. I do not have a job but I am looking for a part-time gig to do along with pet care. My classes aren't all day so I would be able to care for pets in the morning and as needed in the later afternoon/night. In the client’s home, I can feed, water, play with and follow whatever specific instructions I’m given. I can walk your dog on a leash and make sure they always have water.
“This was my first time using Rover and I had a great experience! Rana was amazing and I felt so happy inside knowing Doug was well taken care of and in great hands. Her communication was great, she took lots of pictures, and most importantly took care of Doug. I know Doug enjoyed her from the smile on his face! I will definitely be using Rana again. Thank you so much for everything.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets of my own as well as pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter boxes, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m patient, dependable, and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I am a college student so I can pet sit after classes on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and weekends! I would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a kitten named Fid, I recently adopted him. I care for him by feeding him his wet food and adding water so that he does not get dehydrated. I also make sure his paws stay clean by cleaning them once a week. I always make sure he is safe and gets lots of cuddles!
About: I have two dogs of my own and have grown up taking care of my dogs and pet sitting my neighbors dogs! I have had experience dog sitting and house sitting in high school and since I have been in college at Auburn! I am currently a student at Auburn University, and with my current class schedule, I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for your dogs! I am not available on weekends, however, but am available every other day of the week! I grew up with two dogs in my family and have always loved having them around, so I’m very comfortable with all aspects of dog care. For small and mini dogs specifically, I make sure to give them a calm, safe space, watch closely during outdoor time since they can be more vulnerable to bigger dogs or hazards, and keep to their regular feeding and potty schedule. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and safety.
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals all my life; cattle, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and many more. I have experience in small dogs and large, specifically dachshunds and Siberian huskies/Malamutes, as I’ve grown up with those breeds since I was a toddler! My home is very assessable to those prone to IVDD as I currently have my Mini-Dachshund living with me. I know how to administer limited medications, pills and solution/liquid medications. I am also able to provide nail trimmings for dogs only, no additional charge; I can provide my own clean dremel/nail clippers. I’m also a very patient person, so new pets won’t be a problem. I have experience with dogs who experience anxiety/are skittish. And I am experienced with elderly pets! I’m currently working part-time as a pharmacy technician (1-3 days a week) and I am in school full-time. I am able to make time after and between classes to fit all the love and attention into the needs of pets. I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex, I’m happy to carry the smaller pets up stairs if they have trouble with stairs! I don’t necessarily have a fenced in yard, but we do have a fenced in area specifically for dogs, most people in the complex don’t use! I enjoy taking the dogs on walks either around campus or shorter walks around the complex/home, I’m very active if your pet needs mental stimulation I am perfect for that; if your pet is more of a calm and lazy animal I can also provide for them as well! I’ve been know to be a very organized person, so if your pet is on a specific schedule I can usually adapt to that schedule very quickly and efficiently whether that’s feeding, walking or medications.

About: I am a freshman majoring in Pre-Vet so I am very familiar with animals especially dogs. I grew up with dogs, have a dog of my own at home, sitting, walking, training, puppies, etc. I am currently a freshman student at Auburn but my school schedule is very flexible and I have many gaps throughout my days. My busiest day this semester is Wednesday. I always treat the house like it’s my own. I am a very clean, responsible, trustworthy person who cares about how my home feels, looks, and making sure it is comfortable for everyone. I prefer pets staying in my house.

About: Hi! I’m a total cat lover with 2 years of pet care experience, and I absolutely adore getting to know each kitty’s unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and curious or shy and independent, I’m patient, gentle, and happy to move at their pace. I love interactive playtime, cozy cuddle sessions (when they allow it!), and making sure litter boxes, feeding routines, and daily care are perfectly handled. My goal is to keep your cat feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away — and I’ll always send plenty of sweet updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing! 🐾✨ As a hardworking high school student with a flexible routine, I’m available on weekdays after school and most weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give pets my full attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. When I’m with your pet, they are my priority, and I make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any house rules you provide. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of your home, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you feel completely confident while you’re away. 🐾💗
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of small companion animals. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and confidence in providing attentive, compassionate care. I’m currently a Wildlife & Pre-Vet student at Auburn University, where I’m building a strong foundation in animal behavior, health, and welfare. This summer, I’m gaining hands-on experience working with animals in a professional setting, which has strengthened my understanding of behavior, health monitoring, and enrichment. Because of my internship, I’m unavailable Sunday–Wednesday from 7:00 AM–4:30 PM, but I’m available for early morning visits before 7:00 AM, evening visits after 4:30 PM, overnights, and have full availability Thursday through Saturday. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and other clients, providing feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra patience, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and believe communication is just as important as great care. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate, and dependable care every visit. I have a flexible schedule this summer with a part time internship, so I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I may be away for a few hours during the day on some weekdays, but I always plan my schedule to make sure pets are well cared for and checked on consistently. I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about availability. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. I make sure pets are always secure on walks and monitored closely during visits. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar and stress free environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
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!

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!

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.
