“Anjolie was absolutely amazing!! From the first time we did a meet and greet, we had such a great feeling about her! All of the other reviews definitely helped us trust that she was going to be good. She was always punctual, made sure that she told us everything going on with the dogs, and made us really feel at ease throughout each day and visit. She asked questions when she noticed something going on with one of our dogs. You could tell she really cares and pays attention to everything!!! Will definitely use her again!!!”
“Taylor kept us well informed during her visits. The Dogs absolutely loved her. I could definitely tell thru her daily pictures! We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries knowing the dogs were in great hands!!”
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 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!
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for 10 years! They are two beautiful golden doodles. I also help out a ton with family members pets and friends pets. I babysit for kids every single week for the past three years so I am constantly being responsible. Since I'm a college student with a super flexible schedule this year, I am pretty much free all day! I have tons of free time between classes and on weekends, so I can easily adjust to the routine your pet already has. Whether your dog needs a mid day walk, a morning check in, or full weekend boarding, I'm around and love having the company while I do my homework! Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. I'm very responsible and keep my eyes on them at all times, especially when we go outside. I will carefully follow all of your rules for feeding times, portion sizes, and routines so they stay happy and healthy. I promise to treat your dog like they're my absolute own!!
“Kailyn was such a professional! We used her services while traveling to Auburn, AL. She took such good care of our guy and gave updates throughout. It was so nice to know that our little doggo was looked after while at the Iron Bowl and post game major traffic! A+”
“Emily was a great sitter for our boy! We were out of town during the 4th of July and all the fireworks, as well as some strong storms. She was so reassuring that Hudson was doing well, and it was so comforting for us.”
About: My grandparents have two adorable Vizslas who love to run. My grandpa and I run with them in the morning whenever I visit them. Vizslas are dogs that love attention and exercise. My experience with them prepares me well for your pet. I also have experience in raising little ducklings. I’m an Auburn student who lives on campus. I usually wake up around 5am. I love jogging and it’s so much fun to have a dog run alongside me. Over the weekends I’m typically freer to do house sitting as opposed to walking/running dogs in the mornings and evenings on weekdays. Taking care of your pet’s health will be my #1 concern. Animals being properly exercised lead to their best performance mentally and physically. I will make sure your pet is well stimulated and help it get in tip top shape.
“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.”
“Faith was incredible! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats while we were away. We really appreciated how she kept us updated each day with photos and an in-depth review of her visits.”
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: *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: 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: With 9 years’ experience and true dedication to your pet’s well being, your fur baby couldn’t be in better hands! Technical skills: puppy leash training, light grooming, pet first aid, topical + pill medications for dogs and cats. Soft skills: warm and reassuring presence, anticipation of needs, prompt communication I am currently taking online classes so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I work part time for DoorDash and UberEats on weekend evenings, so tell me when and I’ll be there! On arrival I check in on the Rover app, review my checklist, and get started! For Dogs: Greet the pupper with a kind and calm voice. Grab the leash and waste bags and go on a walk! Refill food and water bowls if needed. Playtime if toys are available. Treats for being a good boy or girl! Lots of head rubs and ear scratches and kind words. For Cats: Greet the kitty with a kind and calm voice. Check the litter, scoop out solids and take out the trash. Refill food and water bowls if needed. Playtime if toys are available, and treats for being a good kitty! Head rubs and neck massages if your cat feels comfortable with strangers.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for and training my own pets. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, and now that I live on my own, I have two cats and a dog of my own. I personally trained my dog, so I’m comfortable working with basic obedience, reinforcing routines, and helping pets learn through patience and positive reinforcement. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know what makes each animal feel safe and happy. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a playful dog, or a more independent cat, I’m attentive to their individual needs and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, keeping pets active and entertained, and giving them plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I am recently post-grad and work as a server full time. My schedule is very flexible and my availability is open across the week! We are closed on sundays as well! I ensure a safe and happy environment for your pets to have a fun time whilst making sure theyre staying active and playing all the time!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
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.
Abby was great!! I received in detail updates after every visit along with multiple pictures of my cat. The litter box was super clean when I returned and she kept me in the loop with any issues my cat had. Will be rebooking with in the future and recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!
Kailyn was wonderful with my cats. I was nervous about letting someone else take care of them, but she came by the week before my trip to meet them, sent plenty of photos, and spent time playing with them. She respected my oldest cat’s no-pet boundary while still including her through parallel play. She was also very patient and kind when there was an issue with the key. I would absolutely book her again!
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 Pet 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.
As of October 2026, there are 554 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
