“Amanda was very gracious towards our very naughty puppy. Apparently, some of the nervous behaviors that we don’t see at home came out with an unholy flourish at Amanda‘s home. But I appreciate the fact that Amanda gave us a full and honest report (which is helpful for us to gauge the areas he still needs significant training) and was very kind about the negatives. The most important thing, though, was that he settled down in the car almost immediately. Our dog is a very nervous dog, so if he has had a rough time at a dog sitter, we know right away because he whines and whimpers all the way home. After leaving Amanda‘s house, he winded for about 60 seconds and then went to sleep. Hallelujah! Thank you, Amanda, for the top quality care you have given to our very low quality puppy. I am especially grateful that Amanda was willing to take the puppy at the last minute, because my husband had a hospital procedure and I had completely forgotten about making arrangements for the dog. What a godsend Amanda has been.”
“I felt like I left my kindergartner this morning when I left my 13 year old dog. She is deaf and was shaking. Amanda took Rubie with her for school drop off and I think that won Rubie over. Amanda sent me several updates and photos during the day to assure me Rubie was doing ok. Rubie loved it there and I will use Amanda again. She definitely went above and beyond! Thank you!”
“Catie-Lynn and her loving family took excellent care of my older, blind pug mix, Winnie. When I arrived to pick up Winnie, the entire family was there to greet me. It was clear to me that Winnie received lots of love throughout the day. I appreciated their willingness to help me with my special needs dog. Five stars!”
“Our dogs had the best time at Stephanie's! Her property is amazing and my pups were well taken care of! They slept for 12 hours straight after we picked them up! I definitely recommend Stephanie, she is great with all of the dogs. Thanks Stephanie!!!”
About: I have been a pet owner for all of my adult life. I have had cats, small dogs, and big dogs. I have successfully trained all of our pets to be obedient loving extensions of our family. My pets are much more than just pets! They each bring their own unique personality to my home that adds character and life. I treat them with love and care as they give so much of that to me daily. I am retired. I am often home outside of weekly errands, appointments, and time spent with grandchildren. I would love to welcome your furry friend into my daily adventures. I have a fenced yard that is manicured and perfect for dog exploration and exercise. I also have Finley, my goldendoodle, who loves to have pals to play with! I have crates that can be utilized as well if there is a need.
“Linda was great with my other dog and Lady really enjoyed being with her and all the dogs that were there. Thank you so much for taking care of my Lady and I hope to be able to have Lady visit more often.”
“Oh my goodness, out of the many different sitters we have worked with on Rover, Pam is by far the best we have ever encountered. That is to say that the care that she and her husband provided our nervous little puppy was 100% perfectly suited to his needs. No competing dogs, no high energy little kids to amp our puppy’s nervous energy into high gear. Perfectly calm home environment that is perfectly suited for anyone who has a high energy dog or puppy that needs calm spaces to remind them how to act calmly. So very grateful for the care Rocky received in this “daycare””
“Mara was great with our pups. She gave us updates and sent us pictures. She also was able to take my pups last minute which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend her for any of your sitting needs.”
“I could not be more pleased with the experience Erin & Erin provided for my dogs. The dogs had the best time, were so safe, and can’t wait to go back. We got lots of wonderful photos throughout their stay so that we could see how they were doing. Everything was so thoughtful and beyond helpful. I will definitely be bringing my dogs back.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of any kind in my neighborhood since I was 12 years old. I love all animals & can work with pets who have special needs. I am comfortable administering some medications, taking your dog to the park, etc. I’m currently a full-time Education Specialist and work mostly from home, so pet care works into my schedule as I have all holidays and weekends off. I am able to travel to you for your pets needs during the day, or you can ensure that I will be home to give them attention while I’m working. I have been a local house and pet sitter for many years, and my referral list grows continually. If requested, I will send frequent picture updates of your pets so that you will have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work full time, but I have summers off and will be available most hours from June-August. During the school year I am available most days depending on my meeting schedule. I’m available on weekends. I am comfortable staying in your home to take care of your pets, or doing multiple drop-in’s a day for play, feeding, bath time, etc., whatever your pet requires. I am not comfortable administering pet medicine via needle, but I am good with oral and topical medication.
“Dude had an amazing visit with Dongjun and Minkoung and their daughter. I would highly recommend this family to anyone looking for a sitter! Dude will forsure be back for another visit”
About: I’ve taken care of relatives animals for years! Medium to Large, Round and lanky... I’ve taken care of them all with a smile on my face. I’m here to put your mind at ease and leave your pet happier than when you give them their favorite treat. I enjoy walking, talking and definitely cuddling your pet. I’m very detail oriented as well as punctual.. punctuality is my middle name. I also enjoy giving treats, playing all sorts of games and hopefully turning into your pets #1 babysitter. I hope you choose me to take care of your super special furry friend while you’re traveling or just burning the midnight oil. I look forward to meeting you and your furry baby. I am home during the week with my toddler and go to work 3 nights a week. My husband is home with the kiddo while I am away so your pet is usually always with my husband or I. I have a tiny little fenced area at my condo that your dog can hang out at. I have two cats that will hide in my bedroom while we are dog sitting. I also have a toddler who loves dogs and is very gentle with them.
About: Our motto is to be the People Our Dogs Think We Are. Which includes trust, kindness, respect and fun. We have a big fenced yard for plenty of space to run around. Our house has a doggy door for easy in and out access to the backyard. Our dogs, Lilu and Bento are medium size, litter mates, that have been crate trained. They have been trained not to steal food out of hands and not to beg for food. We don't often reward good behavior with treats unless requested. We also trained them to listen to commands and for the most part they respond well. They have been trained on and off leash. They rarely bark unless they are excited to play. They love meeting other well mannered dogs and are very dog friendly too! Most importantly, our entire family loves dogs and we love to be active with them. My husband and I both work from home. We often take dogs for walk early in the morning before the day starts. We often take them for walks later it the day, especially as the day cools down. We live near hiking trails and will often visit those areas for more active hiking. We feed our dogs 2 times per day, morning and early eve. We have taught them to only eat from their dishes at the same time. If there is another dog that is not on same schedule, we will separate the dogs so they can eat by themselves uninterrupted. They will often be given treats throughout the day depending on what we are doing. We have a fenced yard to keep the dogs safe. We also have a doggy door or easy in and out access to the yard. Both my dogs have been crate trained and I can host other dogs that need to be crated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Auburn on Rover is $39.96 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Auburn commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 933 sitters in Auburn, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
