House Sitting in Auburn

“This was my first time using Rover and I picked Nancy because of her glowing reviews and repeat customers. Our dog, Radar and I both liked her at meet and greet. We just got back from a week away and was happy to see pictures of Nancy and Radar walking and playing. She followed instructions for his care and we came home to a happy dog and clean home. We will be happy to leave our fur baby with Nancy for future trips.”

“Virginia did a fantastic job taking care of our pampered pup. She was great to work with, and we felt completely at ease trusting her with our dog Nia.”

“We have used Shayna countless times now to stay overnight for many days in a row to watch our high-spirited Jack Russell terrier. She is absolutely wonderful and I really cannot recommend her high enough!!! It's so fabulous to be able to leave our dog for more than a week or even longer with absolutely no worries. Hands down she is the best dog sitter we've ever used!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Anne, and for over 4 years I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for my friends and their furry family members. I know how important it is to feel confident your pup is in good hands, which is why I make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. The best part? I work from home full-time, so your dog will have companionship, attention, and love all day long — no long lonely hours here! Whether it’s cuddle time, walks, playtime, or just a calm presence nearby, I’ll treat your pet like my own. From energetic pups to gentle seniors, I adapt to your dog’s needs and routines to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. Let’s make tails wag — I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶❤️ Since I work from home full-time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I’m home during the day for regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and snuggles — so your dog is never left alone for long stretches. I’m also available evenings and weekends, which means I can keep your pet’s routine consistent even if you’re away for a few days. Whether it’s weekday care, a weekend getaway, or just extra attention for your furry friend, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Because my mom is allergic to pet hair, I’m unable to host pets in my own home. Instead, I provide care in your home (or in the home of a friend, when sitting for them) so your dog can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime routines and cuddle sessions. I make sure water bowls are always fresh, food is given on time, and your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise. I also keep your home tidy, bring in mail/packages if needed, and send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved.

About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.

“Emma was wonderful watching our 2 cats last minute while we were out of town. She asked great questions beforehand and we would definitely use her again”

“This was the longest trip we have taken, and been away from our dogs. Shelly did a great job, and when she had other things she needed to do, she had her daughter help out, which I believe worked out great! The dogs were very happy to see us return, but I feel they were taken very well care of, and we would definitely ask Shelley to come back. Thank you, Shelly!”

“Bryce did a great job w/ our 2 boxers. They're crazy, needy and a little too much for some people, but they didn't seem to bother him at all. We really appreciate Bryce staying at our house since our dogs can have seperation anxiety and tear things up. We also received photos daily which helped our anxiety as well. We will be using Bryce in the future! Thank you!”

“So thankful for Jeannette’s help as we were away for our wedding. We met her before this weekend and showed her our home and introduced her to our puppy, which gave us an opportunity to get to know her. Having someone come into your home and watch your pets can be stressful, but working with Jeannette was stress free! We would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting their fur babies cared after dearly!”

“I had the pleasure of having Alexus dog sit for me while I was traveling, and she was absolutely fantastic. My dog is older and needs a bit of extra attention, and Lexi was so caring and attentive the entire time. She followed all the feeding and walking instructions perfectly and was always punctual. Letting someone stay in your home can be a little uncomfortable, but Lexi was super respectful of the space and clearly focused on making my dog feel comfortable and cared for. I felt totally at ease knowing she was here. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone dependable and kind!”

“Faith was just what I was looking for. She was an excellent communicator, so I know what was happening with my dog and that someone was taking care of her. Faith left music on for my dog, she played with her and walked her. Faith is a good problem solver and handled issues in a professional manner. Faith was very responsible and I felt really good about leaving my dog with her. She took the job seriously and gave such good care to Charlie. My dog seemed happy and content when I got home! highly recommend Faith to care for your home and your pets.”

About: I've owned several dogs as an adult and grew up taking care of my family's cats. I now have 3 cats of my own that are the highlight of my day. I'll make sure to follow your schedule for your pet's to the best of my ability, since I understand how important that is to keep them happy. I work part time so I have time to make however many visits you may need! I know how sad my cats get when I'm gone for long periods of time, so I don't mind spending as much time as requested to help your cat feel at home. I understand how hard it is on cats to be put in a boarding environment, so I'll be extremely respectful of your space while caring for your cat.

About: AKC certified in puppy training, socialization, breeding health and more I have a professional background in dog care through all stages of life. As I have recently lost my two doggos loving and caring for your dog would truly be a fulfilling experience for me. Working with dogs quickly became my passion when I entered the field years ago. I am often acknowledged for my empathy for animals and ability to notice and address medical concerns, skin conditions, allergic reactions and hygiene needs. I specialize in dog whelping, neonatal puppy care. I have vast variety of areas I have become very knowledgeable, and always eagerly continuing education. Dog grooming and training are large parts of my work as well and all of these roles are ones that I truly enjoy doing. Your dog will be treated with compassion by someone with an educated and experienced background. I have a flexible schedule and can work with you given enough notice. I currently work with a couple of kennels helping with care for many dogs of all ages. I love to spend my time grooming and training. I have grown side by side with and often times birthed the dogs I work with. I am incredibly passionate about what I do and am committed to the dogs I work with. Please give as much notice as possible before requesting to book with me as I cannot always guarantee availability. If you do need to reschedule or cancel, please provide as much notice as possible. I own a home on a quarter acre lot with a dog that has served multiple dogs very well over the last almost 15 years. The backyard is dog proofed and provides tons of space for physical activity. I am very conscious of foxtail prevention and ensuring a safe setting. It is incredibly important to me to make sure there is no potential risk of exposure to toxic plants or chemicals. Proper cleanliness and sanitization is a very high priority of mine.

About: Hello! I’ve been loving and caring for local pets for around 25 yrs. Some pets were young pups and kittens; some were older seniors. I specialize in petsitting at my clients homes. My longest pet sitting job was 3.5 weeks while the owners were in Italy. I have many referrals. I’ve taken care of miniature horses, Friesian horses, and a pig. (We have a lot of rural homes in Auburn area). I’m retired from a construction accounting job. We’re gladly at home most days! My shedule is flexible; if you have an emergency need for pet sitting, I’m your gal. I prefer to petsit at my client’s homes. The animals rather appreciate this. I like to meet the animal(s) before sitting so when I arrive, we have a connection. I give the animals plenty of one-on-one attention. This may include doggy massage to calm them and get to know them. Lots of walks if they like that. Potty Breaks every couple of hours to begin with, as they’re sometimes nervous or have stomach upsets. I’d like to know your favorite names for them, what your routines are, rituals, their favorite things to do. I’ve also stayed with animals after their surgeries to monitor when the owner has to work.

“Nicole is very responsible, and respectful. This is our first time having her at the house with our Addie dog, we have booked her for an upcoming longer trip, and there’s no doubt she will do a great job! Thanks Nicole.”

“Would 100% rehire. Took fantastic care of my animals and even my garden. Very communicative, and sent pictures of my babies throughout the week while I was gone.”

About: I have been passionate about animal care from my first pet at age 8. I received my bachelor's degree in Zoology and was a Registered Veterinary Technician working with dogs and cats at first, them moving to exotics. I have owned reptiles, birds, ferrets and a pig. I am comfortable taking care of most creatures. I am currently working Monday and Wednesday and have free time for pet care. I feel that pets needs continuous care that they are use to to prevent behavior problems from developing. I will follow the instructions of care for each individual animal in order to maintain continuity and prevent behavioral problems from developing. Animal safety and prevention of boredom is my highest priority.

“It was so great to be able to know our animals were well taken care of while we were away. We left Angela with our two dogs (one a 7 month old puppy who ate something terrible before we left and was having some mild stomach issues) and our cat. She gave us updates and communicated if there was any problems and handled everything. If we have any trips coming up we would use her again! Our animals loved her!”
