“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.”
“The sitter we normally get was booked so had to find a new sitter last minute. We found Whitney and are so happy we did! She did an amazing job with my dogs (one senior - with complicated sitting instructions) and 1 young energetic 2 year old pup. She kept our house incredibly clean and was a great communicator (pictures and updates everyday).”
“Andrew was great. My maltipoo, Leonard, took to him right away. Andrew is very kind, responsible and was very good with Leonard. Andrew took him for a walk every day of his sit. He also kept me posted with a daily picture. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”
“Sienna took great care of my house for 3 days. I have a large property with lots of plants, a large dog, and two cats. Everything was in tip top shape when we came home and she took so many cute pics of the animals. We will definitely trust her with our house and our fur babies again!”
“Very grateful for Dalilah. The dogs were attached to her from the moment they met her. We were gone for 4 days and this was my first time using Rover and Dalilah made it a super easy and smooth process. I will definitely be using her services again now that I have found such a caring and trustworthy sitter. Thanks again for everything!”
“A week before our trip our family member cancelled watching our 3 dogs and home. We panicked! I remembered seeing Jennifer’s dog sitting ad on Facebook. I downloaded Rover on my phone and set up my account. I looked all through Rover till I found her. She immediately contacted me back and we set up a meet and greet to see how she was around the dogs. She was great, very sweet and caring with our pups! We hired her through Rover which was a very easy process. She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend. They even all ate their dinners for her which is a challenge for my Yorkie and Havanese. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Jenifer for the love and care of your pets while you’re away. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and awesome communication.”
“Amazing as always!! I couldn’t recommend Carrington enough for any service you might need. She stayed at our house while we went out of town for a week and kept in constant communication with us the entire time, not to mention the amazing photos she takes!! Our house was so clean when we got home and it was such a relief to know we could trust our pups were in good hands while we were away!”
“Christina took great care of our fur babies while we were out of town getting married! We have never had someone stay in our home to take care of our animals besides family and there were no issues.”
“Shelby was absolutely incredible as our dog sitter. She went above and beyond for us and for our pups in every possible way. Not only was she attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring, but she also stuck with us through what seemed like the worst luck imaginable all week long. Despite facing some fears and dealing with a string of unexpected challenges, Shelby never once gave up or made us feel like our dogs were anything less than her priority. Her patience, resilience, and kindness truly stood out. Knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and cared for so thoughtfully gave us so much peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and compassionate. Shelby handled everything with grace, heart, and professionalism, and we are beyond grateful she stayed and saw everything through. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough. 🩷”
“Carla stayed with my dog and cat for a weekend while I was out of town. I was worried about leaving my girls for the first time, but Carla was fabulous! My girls were happy and well cared for, which made being away so much easier. I’d definitely book Carla again!!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and finding Bryce truly made a difference. Our three dogs have very distinct personalities, and it was impressive to see each one warm up to him. Typically, our dogs bark at new people, but Bryce’s calm and confident demeanor kept them relaxed and non-reactive. He made them feel safe and cared for, which means a lot to us. We also appreciated the daily pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind, and he left our home just as we had left it. Without a doubt, we will continue to rely on Bryce for our pet care needs.”
“Omg thank u soooo much Deanna. My dogs were in such good moods when I came home- soft and happy! Thank you for taking care of everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 one of my boys needs extra behavioral attention on walks. Deanna was fantastic. I highly recommend. She’s a gem!!!!”
“Sabrina is a joy to work with to watch our lil dude Nico. Her communication is fantastic and she always went the extra mile to ensure he was well-cared for. We had complete ease of mind being away and knowing that he received lots of love, cuddles and care.”
“This was our first time using Rover and obviously our first experience with Fallon. She came for the meet and greet in a timely manner and was eager to listen to instructions and friendly. We were only gone for a day but she took great care of our two large dogs during that time. She was flexible with her time and accommodating. We would definitely use her again! Thanks!”
“Sherilyn cared for my cats and my house for 4 days while I was away. It was a pleasure to hand my loved ones over to her as she is kind, knowledgeable about cats and kept in touch with me during those 4 days. I couldn't have felt more secure with her sitting my home. She is honest, thoughtful about my privacy, my home as my sanctuary and when I came home the house that was as I left it, clean and not a thing out of place. I wouldn't hesitate, not even for a second, to have her back in the future.”
About: I have had experience in dog sitting and walking puppies! I have always wanted a dog but just do not have the room for it at home so pet sitting for friends has always been something I have loved doing! Currently, I am working part-time and I am a college student. However, my shifts are never longer than 4 hours. My services are available all week! I make sure to care for pets with as much love as I can! Seeing a stranger come into your home can be daunting so I try to be as graceful as possible when meeting and interacting with the clients pets!
“Ben took excellent care of my spicy kitten who wanted nothing to do with him. He is a soft spoken gentleman who eventually got her to trust him enough to play with him, even though there were soft hisses of protest when he tried to pet her, she didn’t run away. So if she was truly upset she would have been gone. I’ll have him back for sure to keep an eye on her and her separation anxiety at bay.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
We only had Jaxen stay for one night as we just had a quick get away, but her communication was fabulous, she was prompt and sent picks even when we were only gone for 24hrs. She was very nice and the dogs seem happy. We would definitely have Jaxen for another stay.
Jeannette was absolutely fantastic! She sat for our two dogs and watched over our house, bird feeders, chickens, and farm at the same time! She provided lots of updates and wonderful photos every day, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our vacation! Highly recommend and will absolutely use again!!! PS One of our dogs, Timothy, is a rescue from a sheriff raid situation - he is still wary and skittish around strangers, but after just a few days, Timmy allowed Jennette to cuddle and brush him, telling me she is a true dog whisperer!
We found Danny and Stephanie to be top notch in fulfilling dog/house sitting responsibilities. Our little girl, Phoebe, had several long walks a day, was fed on time and even slept with them. I’m confident she was safe and secure when going on walks. They also are very responsive by texting photos of Phoebe’s activities (from walking to napping). Danny and Stephanie live in my neighborhood. When Phoebe and I go on walks, she always wants to visit them — confirming my suspicion that they are more fun and entertaining than I am!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Auburn on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,797 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Auburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Auburn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Auburn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
