“Emily was excellent. I threw a few curve balls, and she responded beautifully. Thanks so much to Emily for taking care of everything for Kitty while I was on an extended vacation. I totally recommend her with no reservation.”

About: I’m a dog mom of 3! I have cared for all stages from puppy to senior. I have been trusted to care for family & friends’ pets because I love them as my own. I work full time 8am-5pm Monday through Friday but would be available anytime on the weekends or early morning/late evening during the week to care for your pets! I offer drop in visits in your home & walking to ensure that your dog feels comfortable in their own environment! I want your pets to feel comfortable.
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 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 been around dogs and animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with dogs in my family, and I currently have a Goldendoodle of my own, so I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with having a pet. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m able to make time for your pets throughout the day. I can stop by during my lunch break when needed, and I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays. I also have more flexibility on weekends and am happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar environment. I’ll also make sure to keep you updated during my visit!

“Abby was fantastic! She took great care of our kitty and sent pictures everyday. Our cat loved her and it was evident that she was well cared for while we were gone. Can't wait to use her again!”
About: *exotics welcome (please message so we can work out details)* I have had a variety of pets throughout my life and have watched many neighbors pets through High school and college. For the last 3 years I have been an Emergency and critical Care Veterinary assistant overnight in a veterinary emergency hospital. I am directly responsible for patient care of critically sick or injured or post-op pets. I am very comfortable caring for chronic conditions such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, etc and will seek care if needed. I am comfortable with cats, dogs and a variety of other pets such as reptiles or birds, I have had them all as patients in the CCW. If your pets are under my care they are treated the same as my pets, whether I am dropping in for visits or they are staying at my house! I currently am in school during the week, I am able to go home for lunch if needed so most pets would not be left alone for longer than 4-5 hours, if not less. Weeknights and weekends I am generally home or in the area so they would not be left alone long on those days either In my home, I have a separate room for pets to stay so that they can be separated from my other pets if needed . I have a fenced in yard and my neighborhood is entirely walkable. If I am doing drop in visits, I will ensure your pets are happy and safe on each visit and give them some attention (if they want it ! )
About: I’m more than a sitter — I’m someone who genuinely loves dogs and understands their personalities, quirks, and needs. With years of experience and a home full of friendly resident pups, I give every guest dog the same love and comfort I give my own. Your dog will enjoy a warm, family‑style environment and one‑on‑one attention throughout their stay. My husband and I work from home so our pet care fits into our everyday schedule. We set aside time each day to ensure your furry friend is having ample time to play, eat, potty and rest. Your pup will have everything they need. Your pup will enjoy a cozy bed, fresh food and water, plenty of toys, and supervised playtime in our backyard.
About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animals so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in a very spacious apartment and absolutely love to go on walks!

About: I’m a life long animal lover and have had the opportunity to care for my friends, family, and neighbor’s pets for years whether it was daily check-ins or caring for them while owners were away. I personally can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet of my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I currently work from home with the flexibility for long walks, play time, and lots of cuddles. There really isn’t a day or time I couldn’t be available. I have a fenced in yard, a great neighborhood for walks, two pet loving kids and a sweet dog of my own to provide your fur baby companionship during their stay.
“Kim is incredible and second to none. You would think she’s known your animals as long as you have! Very thorough with her questions about your animals and things you prefer and you can tell she has a true love and passion for taking care of your extended family members. We will continue to book her over and over again!”


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.
About: I have been caring for pets and animals since I was merely five years old! They are my passion! I have experience with cats, hamsters, squirrels, rabbits, horses, and even our fishie friends! 🐠 I am especially fluent in doggy language and their needs 🫶🏼 and have cared for all life stages that our canine companions go through. I’m also very experienced in caring for cats, as I have two of my own. 💕 I have a flexible schedule, and can be home and available most of the day for your beloved family member if you choose to board. My home is a very pet friendly environment with a fenced in backyard for safety. My 8 year old son is comfortable with dogs and cats, and has been taught to respect their boundaries. I have one dog and two cats in my home that are living their best lives! ✌🏼
About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was 8 starting with my first ever dog Cupcake. Since then I have taken care of dogs of all sizes for neighbors and friends. I am very good with senior dogs, and energetic puppies alike! I love to learn how each dog’s personality shines. I am currently taking online college courses for the summer. My classes being online gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I am willing to work out times with people on an individual basis! I take a lot of care to be respectful of people’s homes when caring for their animals. I fulfill each task the pet needs with care and give each pet the time and attention they need.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs as well as my neighbors and friend’s pets since I was in elementary school. As a pre-vet student I have a strong passion for animals, and provide the best care I can! I’m currently a student at Auburn, but over the month of may I have zero plans so I can check up on pets whenever needed! I enjoy and early wake up and am happy bringing dogs on walks anytime! I always ensure I spend ample time with the pets I take care of, especially if they are social. This means playing with dogs outside so that they are worn out and tired for the rest of their home stay, and for cats playing as the cat allows!
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Auburn is $17
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Hannah was absolutely wonderful with Taz! She was very communicative, sent the cutest updates and pictures, and I could tell he was so happy and comfortable with her. Taz has a big personality and a lot of energy, but she was so patient with him and gave him lots of love while I was away. I really appreciated how well she cared for him and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pup!

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!

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!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Auburn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Auburn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
