“We really had peace of mind working with Colleen! Nico was well-cared for and communication with Colleen was great. We’re so glad we discovered each other and we recommend her pet care!”
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”
“Nicque took very good care of my senior cat. She was able to earn her trust and give her medications. Nicque provided great communication and photos so I knew my cat was taken care of when I was gone overnight. Will be using her again soon:)”

I also have plenty of pet sitting experience, which has helped me become responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for animals. When it comes to animals, I have experience with just about everything! I’ve cared for animals ranging from rabbits to horses and everything in between. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has its own unique needs and routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, feeding, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

Whether we're going on walks, spending time outside, or staying inside, I am mindful of potential risks and never take their safety for granted.

“Ella did a fantastic job with pet sitting for our cat Patch this past weekend. My husband and I went away to celebrate his birthday and were so lucky to have someone as wonderful as Ella to take care of our baby while we were gone. She was on time everyday (even early!!) fed him, did his litter, played with him, and sent us pictures every visit also! She also is very quick with answering messages which is a huge plus. Patch is usually very shy and timid with new people but with Ella he was so outgoing and seemed very comfortable with her, that made us so happy to see. Ella would get more than 5 stars if we could, she is the perfect person to trust your pets with, we definitely will be rebooking with her in the future!! Thank you so much Ella, you are the best!”
About: Mindful and attentive former pet care worker and dog walker with multiple years walking, training, and nurturing dogs, cats, and wild animals. My record is impeccable and without incident - this is because I understand the importance of attending to a client's every need, constantly prioritize safety in what is, by nature, a volatile field, and have a deep appreciation for the behavioral needs and individual personalities of the pets I take care of and connect with. I love dogs. I've loved them all my life. And I understand that the second I walk into your home, leash in hand, I am responsible for the well being a loved and dear member of your family - and I treat them as if they were my own. I am currently caring for my grandmother while she undergoes treatment for terminal lung cancer. Otherwise, my responsibilities are all remote, and I can be present for your pets day and night. I take health and safety concerns as a necessity, and will make sure to attend to your specific needs and risk factors. I have walked packs of dogs through LA and Manhattan during rush hours and have never had a single incident occur.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to caring for my own as an adult—giving me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs, behavior, and personalities. I’m a true dog-person and absolutely love being around them—they bring so much joy and companionship to everyday life. Sadly, I’ve had two of my own dogs pass away after living long, happy lives, but through that, I’ve gained valuable experience in providing the special care and attention older dogs often need. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. 💞 First time using Rover? Use this link before you book for $20.00 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/rubyb72826 Furthermore, I’m a Registered Nurse (who stays home full-time with my kids now)… however, I have experience administering medications to pets and will ensure your doggie gets any needed medicine while you’re away. I love caring for humans and pets alike, and would love to walk and/or board your sweet fur-babe while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a lovable Shih Tzu of my own, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and already spend lots of time walking, playing, and giving attention to my dog—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine comes naturally and with lots of love. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so each dog gets plenty of individual attention and feels like part of the family. At our home, every fur-babe is welcomed like a member of our family. Upon arrival, they’ll be given time to explore and settle in comfortably, at their own pace. I strive to create a warm, stress-free environment filled with cozy nooks, comfy beds, and plenty of playtime in our large back yard. The neighborhood also has a large park I can walk them to for some exercise and extra sunshine. I’ll ensure they have a familiar routine and are given lots of attention, from gentle belly rubs, to snuggles on the couch. I love sending photos and updates to keep you connected! You can rest assured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and surrounded by love while you’re away. Pets can sleep in an enclosed area with blankets and a bed or in a crate, if preferred.
About: I’ve provided a loving home for non human kids for over 20 years. I treat mine and those trusted to me with love, attention, respect, and care. I work from home so I am always available and very hands on. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can tend to the furry kids. I have time for play, walks and rubs. I have a doggy door and very secure fencing for free roaming. I can offer 15 minute walks as often as necessary or 45 minute walks every 5 hours.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Auburn is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 2,556 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 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.

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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
