“Nicole took great care of my cats! I asked her to drop in twice per day for cat medication and to refill their automated wet feeders. She stayed and played with them and even helped troubleshoot one of the feeders when it was acting up. This is the second time she's taken care of my cats while I was away and I would definitely ask her to do so again!”

“Mikhalia is just amazing!! Firstly, I was impressed and comforted that she took the time to meet me in person even before I made a booking. She is personable, friendly and my cat Siri took to her immediately. She was super accommodating even though my schedule changed a few times and didn't hesitate to change the bookings. I received photos and updates of my cats during each visit and she followed all the instructions to the tee. I could tell my kitties had a lovely time with Mikhalia, and I'm so glad to have found a trusting cat sitter so close to where I live. I would definitely book her again and she has my full recommendation for any one looking for a great pet sitter!”

About: I have cared for and loved animals since I was a little girl. I was raised in a house with dogs of all types and have continued to have them in my life. I have two rescues, a 6-lb sweet female chihuahua and a 30-lb shy male terrier mix, that love to be around other dogs but who also are submissive to and respect other dogs’ needs for their own space. Having been a zookeeper and vet tech, I have worked on training various critters, as well as cared for elderly animals that need special attention or medications. I work from home with my husband full time and we are always ready for fur baby snuggles on our couch and bed. We also live near a canal and trails, so dog walks are very frequent in our home. Because we live farther away, we are also willing to come do pickups to keep you from having to drive to us, but we understand completely wanting to see where your pups are staying. I work from home nearly full time except Tuesdays, but my husband is home full time everyday. I am an early riser and can do early walks/pickup/potty breaks. As we are working on house projects due to this being a new and first home purchase, we are home a ton on the weekends too. If I am staying at your home, I can arrange to be there constantly because my husband is home to care for my pups. I don’t have a fenced yard, but live very close to a dog park that is fenced. I also have a canal trail right off my driveway and we walk our two dogs on it all the time. My two babies are extremely sweet and friendly with other dogs. I am an extremely tidy and organized person, so whether your pup stays with me or I come to your home, I can guarantee I will always leave things as good or better than I found them. Also, if you have any last-minute travel issues, I can almost always adapt to host longer to make sure you don’t have to stress about what will happen to your pup.

“Sienna took amazing care of my kitties for the weekend and made me feel super relaxed and comfortable. My cats are very shy but she got them out of their shells the first day with her attentiveness and care. Sienna did an excellent job communicating throughout the weekend and sent me a ton of pictures of my cats which made me so happy! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone- you can really tell she cares deeply for animals.”

About: I have experience boarding dogs and provide a clean, quiet, and safe environment. My boarding setup includes a separate 2-bedroom guest house, completely separate from my own pets and toddler in the main house. For safety and comfort, dogs from different families sleep in separate bedrooms with the doors closed. Dogs from the same family may stay together if preferred. Dogs also enjoy supervised outdoor time in our yard during the day. For drop-in visits, I provide potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime and companionship, basic cleanup, and photos and updates after every visit. Safety and cleanliness are always my top priorities. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate different feeding and care routines. I’ll follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable during their stay. I follow each pet’s care instructions closely and provide a clean, comfortable environment. Fresh water is always available, and I keep their living and feeding areas clean throughout their stay.

About: I have worked for boarding facilities before, one that had no kennels and one that did. I have had lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats, giving oral medications, and watching them during the day to day. I love animals and always think of them as a part of your family. I am available everyday except for Tuesday's and Thursday's. As long as I have two days notice I have no issue doing check-ins, walks, or watching your furry friends with whatever schedule works best! Due to my previous experience with boarding facilities, I am well trained to follow instructions left by owners. Whatever schedule my clients have I will adapt to and perform, so that their pet won’t get confused or distressed by the change in schedule. I make sure to give special love and attention to each and every pet I care for.

About: I grew up in a home full of 5+ dogs at a single time! I have 8 years of experience in both the child care and pet sitting fields so I am extremely patient. For years I have used Rover myself to receive pet care for my own dog, so I understand the trust you will be putting in me. I will treat your fur-baby as one of my own while you are gone! I’m currently home full-time with my 3 year old son and our 9 year old dog! I have experience distributing medication and will follow your instructions meticulously! We have a home with a backyard for the dogs to play in! Brutus has a lot of toys and actually enjoys sharing them! Potty breaks can be every 0-2 or 2-4 hours, depending on what your puppy needs. Brutus is extremely friendly with different types of dogs but I can also separate them if that is what you request! Since I have a three year old son, I do require meet and greets before I pet sit any new dogs! I also require the dog to be gentle and have no prior aggression towards children. I only watch one dog, or multiple dogs from one home, at a time. I believe that trusting someone to watch your fur babies while you’re gone can be tough so I want to ensure that they have my full attention, love, and care!

About: I have experience caring for lots of animals like cats and dogs. I had to help raise our kittens after their mom died when they were two weeks old. I have basic experience with animal care, special diets and medication, and showing them love and attention! I work part time several days a week during the day. Typically 6 hour days when I’m pet sitting. Depending on location, might be able to work something out if your pets can’t be home alone that long. I tend to spend time with the animals where I can be around them, such as being in the living room if they’re inside animals or checking on them often if they’re outdoors. Try to follow whatever schedule the animal needs to the best of my ability (such as feeding times or walks).

About: Animals have pretty much always been a part of my life! I grew up always having an animal in the home, and most people who know me jokingly describe my house as a zoo. Currently, I have one dog, two cats, and a fish tank, so caring for animals is genuinely just part of my everyday life. I also spent two years working at Petco, where I got hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including reptiles, birds, fish, and small animals. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently working as a substitute teacher so I can come by before school and after school so think anytime before 7:30 and after 3pm. I also babysit part time so my scheudle can be a little busy. I’m happy to work with you to figure out a schedule that works best for you and your family. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they’re in a safe and secure environment at all times. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. 🐾❤️

About: I have had pets all my life. I enjoy spending time with animals. I will care for your animal as if it were mine. You tell me what they like best. Your pet will love having me around. I work mostly in the morning a handful of days during the week. I have free time in the bright and early morning, and in the evening. My pets have the freedom to roam in our fenced yard. I know I can trust them to come back. They have their safe spot in our home. They get treats, baths, and walks as needed. They are another family member.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student looking for a part-time position that fits around my class schedule. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to balance school, work, and pet-care responsibilities. I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my school and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences to ensure I provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Auburn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Auburn is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $38 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 2,540 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
