About: Years of hands-on animal rescue and fostering experience caring for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities. I provide dependable in-home drop-ins so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. I have adopted rescue dogs and cats since the age of 10. I have 3 years of experience working on the Board of Directors for cat & dog rescues, trapping abandoned cats/dogs and providing medical care and finding foster and forever homes for abandoned cats and dogs. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to 2 toddlers so I can care for pets anytime day or night and administer any medication if needed. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, litter boxes and household safety. I have years of experience with both dogs and cats, including rescue and foster animals, and I’m comfortable working with a variety of personalities and temperaments. I’ll also send photos and updates during visits so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I have over 5 years of experience working with animals and have two dogs of my own. I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, and special need dogs through my jobs and my past foster pups. I work part-time and take college classes, so I am very available to take care of your pets. I make a priority out of caring for your pet! I always make sure safety comes first when I am caring for your pet. Their safety is most important to me and I will never put them in a situation I wouldn't want my babies in.
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 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.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, horses, and cattle since I was very little! I am currently in vet school learning how to take care of them even more I am currently in vet school, so my time is unfortunately limited, I would be able to walk and tend to your pet after my class hours! My plan is to be able to tend to your pet at your home! This will allow me to go and walk them around and feed/water them as needed
“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: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up, I would volunteer at my local animal shelter to play with and help care for the pups! I work full time in Cabot and my schedule varies day to day. Though I will always try my best to accommodate to what is needed. I will be able to come visit before & after my shifts. I am more than happy to come to your home so that your pet can stay in the comfort of their own home. I can feed/water, dispense medications, walk/take outside and clean up after them.
“Emma let my young puppy out a couple times while I was away. She was very easy to communicate with and sent me photos each time she came. Highly recommend, will be reaching back out in the future for further help!”
About: With 10 years of diverse experience, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and exotic pets. I’m very patient, reliable, and studying veterinary science for added expertise. Pet care is a natural part of my routine. I balance it with school, while working part time, making time daily to give pets the attention and love they need. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, fenced backyard and a loving family that adores them. In clients’ homes, I follow routines and provide attentive care.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life — all 24 years of it. From the moment I was old enough to pick up a food bowl, I was right there helping to care for them. That means over two decades of feeding, walking, playing, and loving dogs of all shapes and sizes. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a job — it’s second nature. During the day I work, but I have the flexibility to step away and check in on any pets in my care. Evenings are generally when I’m most available, so your pet will have plenty of attention and company after hours. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own family dog. Your pet won’t just be looked after — they’ll be loved, spoiled, and made to feel right at home.
About: I am very confident with small to large dogs/cats & update with photos of your fur baby daily multiple times a day. I firmly believe that our pets deserve the best care, that in which I can give them. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family! At home, I have a 4 yr old F1B goldendoodle named Lady Mae, and a sweet 3yr old kitty that’s basically a dog. Feel free to message me anytime if you have any questions. STACYB76012, https://www.rover.com/sit/stacyb76012 Use this code for $20 off :) I have a very flexible schedule and I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays & have kennels upon request if your pet would need to be kenneled if I have to run errands! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly cat & doodle to keep your fur baby company near a dog park. I can easily crate your dog if needed & have extra crates in my dog room with cameras. So no need bringing yours unless you’d prefer to do that!
“Kiah has been one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever went through. She is very active when it comes to taking care of your pets, and did an outstanding job at providing updates as well as photos. Highly recommended for anyone in need!”
“She is seriously the sweetest! She took such great care of our cat and was so kind and caring with him. Our cat ended up throwing up, probably from eating his food too quickly, and she even cleaned everything up for us. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying and came home knowing our cat had been in good hands. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
The absolute best!!! Our animals are our children so we are very particular about their care and they can be a little shy, but with Lillian they were smiling in every picture and excited to see their new best friend everytime. She went above and beyond for us and we will definitely be booking for future events
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Auburn is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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.
As of November 2026, there are 539 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Auburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
