“I have used Yi Ling in the past, and this is my second time with her. My little guy spent the week with her, and I don't think he's ever had so much fun. He was so tired from constant play that he slept much of the day when we picked him up. Yi Ling is so diligent with sending twice-daily updates and photos. We really appreciate her!”
About: Growing up my family has always had pets, usually a mixture of dogs and cats (with the occasional hamster or lizard!). My passion for animals grows more and more every day. As an adult, my husband and I have 4 dogs ranging from tiny to large who get along great with all other animals. We also have 3 cats who are very unbothered by dogs. I try to volunteer at the local shelter twice a week but we have a beautiful baby boy so I haven’t been in a little while. Taking care of pets is truly second nature to me, I haven’t ever lived without pets and have always had a passion for them. Even as a little girl I always wanted to be involved in our pet’s care tasks. I know how stressful it can be trying to find a good place for your beloved pet to stay while you’re away, or to find help during the day while you’re at work. I hope that I can be one to relieve some of that stress and worry. Our pets are the most precious members of our family. I know that each individual dog/cat has their own needs and that different things work for different pets. I am very flexible and will always prioritize taking care of your pet the way that you do. Pet care is always part of my daily routine, I’m a stay at home mom to my beautiful baby boy, as well as to my 4 pups and 3 kitties. It is so intertwined with my life that I would make your fur baby feel right at home. I am home 24/7 so no need to worry about your pup or kitty being home alone in a strange place. I have a fully fenced yard and 4 other dogs. One of our dogs is a tiny senior (16 years old!), and the 3 other are middle aged, they love to play but aren’t too high energy if your pup doesn’t feel like playing. During feeding times I make sure that no one feels they have to compete by feeding everyone at once and facing them away from each other. I provide lots of toys and treats (with owners permission of course!) and cuddles (again with owners permission). I will be happy to communicate as much or as little as you need, if you want daily pictures, or even a few pictures a day, I am more than happy to do so! For pups that I’m just checking on, walking, or letting out to potty, all of the same things apply :)
About: Have dog sat a couple of times. I don't have a dog, but willing to have one around the house for those who need a dog sitter for a few days. My wife and I have opposite work schedule, so someone is home about 85 % of the time. Would be able to have someone take dogs for walks throughout the day, or watch them in the back yard Pets will be indoor. Have a fenced back yard when needed to go outside for bathroom needs. We don't have other pets , so your pet would not take away attention from your pet
“Stephanie was amazing and did so well taking care of our girls! We definitely will be using her again. So nice to find someone you can trust with your furry family while you’re on vacation so you can truly relax!”
“Heather was awesome and her attention to my dog makes me feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. You can really tell how much she loves animals and her flexibility and communication has been amazing.”
“Darcy was outstanding with our puppy Ranger. She took perfect care of our dog, sent us pictures every day. Ranger had the time of his life with Darcy's family. I would definitely recommend Darcy and I am sure we will be repeat customers.”
“Alvin was a great Dogsitter for us! We initially needed to reschedule because of a trip cancellation and he was so understanding so it made booking him this time a no brainer. We got daily pictures of and compliments about our boy, and it sounded like Alvin really enjoyed his time with Bigs. It was very easy to coordinate with him, and we’d love to use him again!”
“Stephanie & Jennifer took great care of Mickey for a whole week! He had a lot of fun playing with their dogs and going on walks. I got daily photo and video updates of Mickey! I recommend this caretaker to anyone who needs someone to watch their pup!”
“Ciara is amazing! Bauer had a great stay and enjoyed all this playtime with Ciara's fur babies, as well as the dog park right next to her house. She was easy to communicate with and sent us updates along the way. We will definitely be staying with Ciara again.”
“Crystal was absolutely amazing with our dog, Goose! She was attentive, flexible, and great at handling his quirks. We really appreciated how well she cared for him and felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We’ll definitely be using Crystal again in the future!”
About: Growing up, I was always interested in learning about different dog breeds and had aspirations of becoming a veterinarian. Though I did not become a veterinarian, I do have a solid background and understanding of animal healthcare and wellbeing thanks to my undergraduate studies (B.S. Zoology, some Animal Science) and ongoing interest in pet health and dog training. While still in high school, I worked briefly in a pet boarding facility where I prepared morning and evening meals, administered medications, and supervised outdoor play for large groups of dogs. From this experience supervising large groups of dogs, I became more familiar with canine body language and behavioral cues. My sheepadoodle, Ivy, came home to me at about 10 weeks old; so I did potty train and leash train her with positive reinforcement using her favorite treats. I also had the opportunity to foster a litter of 5 puppies in college and potty trained them as well. In addition to my experience with puppies, I have cared for a few senior pups including my brother’s aging border collie and pitbull mix and my late Great Boxer (Great Dane/boxer), Grover. In my experience caring for senior pups, I became familiar with the medical issues that come along with increasing age such as arthritis, incontinence, deafness/blindness, and even cancer to name a few. My own pups have also had sensitive skin, digestive issues, and recurrent ear infections. Managing these health issues at times required daily cleanings, ointment applications, and attention to ensure that wounds or infections healed without interference. I work part-time in a hospital lab, with a fixed schedule. I work 4 days in a row, then I am off for 10 days. When I am not working in the lab, I am at home caring for my two young children (ages 3 and almost 2) and 5 year-old sheepadoodle. We enjoy spending time outside in the backyard or going for walks around the neighborhood. Any dog that steps paw inside my home is treated like family. If your precious pup requires *special* treatment, I try my best to adhere to any instructions provided. I have a large crate, along with dog blankets, if your pup is into that sort of thing. It is spacious enough for any standard medium to large sized dog. I do have a decently sized backyard with 6 ft privacy fencing all around, and larger smooth rocks surrounding the grass. If your pup is not great with tiny humans, loud noises, or just the general chaos of a young family, please consider a sitter with a calmer environment that better meets their needs.
About: I am fully insured through Pet Care Insurance for added protection to your home & pets while I am on duty! Hi there! Welcome to my page. With over seven years of professional pet‑sitting experience, I offer calm, reliable, detail‑oriented care for pets of all temperaments and needs. My background in shelter environments means that I am comfortable with shy animals, medical routines, and behavior‑sensitive pets. Animals have been part of my life since childhood, so caring for cats, dogs, small animals, reptiles, and even the occasional farm animal feels natural and intuitive. I am a pet sitter that values communication, safety, and consistency. My goal is always to make your time away feel stress‑free and predictable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! My Care Standards: -All communication must stay on Rover for everyone’s safety and clarity. Rover messaging will be the best way to get a hold of me. -Cameras must be disclosed before booking.

Thank you for helping me provide consistent, high‑quality care. I am a full-time pet sitter. I frequently has to step out during the day. I can provide potty breaks every 4-8 hours.

I am also always happy to take your pets with me when I am on the go, so if you are interested, just let me know! My partner comes around from time to time as he travels for work, and we don't get to see each other regularly. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I will address this during our meet and greet as well! Please also know your spot is not promised with me until the booking has been paid for in full. I am comfortable supporting senior pets, puppies, and animals with special needs. My skills include safe and confident dog handling, as well as administering medications and injections with care and precision. Nothing is impossible when it comes to your pets medical needs.
“Oh my gosh, what can we say. This was our first time being away from our 8mo old goldendoodle and we were trying to decide between a boarder and being at someone’s house. We met Meagan and knew it would be the right fit. She and her family took such good care of Scout. They loved her like she was their own. We got photos, updates, etc. we hit the jackpot with she and her family and am so thankful we have our go-to person to watch Scout whenever we are gone again.”
“Dalia and Dainius are great! I was able to do a meet and greet prior to the booking- they were very detailed and kind. They took excellent care of my dog during her stay, updated with pictures, and went on a lovely walk. Thank you again for watching Ethel!”
About: I work at Petco as a dog bather. My family and I have always had cats and dogs in the house throughout my whole life. I work from between 8-6 5 days a week so I will have plenty of time to walk the dogs and do a pop in to make sure the pets are comfortable and safe. I also have 2 days off each week and stay at home most of the day. I do have a yard and a park nearby. I have taken care of cats who have herpes, digestion, and kidney problems. I am also a clean freak so pets don’t get into anything that they shouldn’t be. My lower cabinets are baby proof so animals cannot get into them.
“Felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Charlotte’s care! Received regular updates and lots of photos. Very fast to respond as well which is always comforting. We would be happy to trust our pup with Charlotte any time. Thank you!”
“Amanda is very responsive. Good communication! Charlize had an excellent stay with other companions :) I recommend her. Thank you for everything and Happy New Year!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Mandy was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! They seemed to adjust right away and quickly became comfortable with her, even getting attached to her husband! It was clear they were loved, cared for, and treated like family while I was away. Mandy is such a kind, patient, and loving person, and I couldn't have asked for better care for my fur babies. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Mandy did an amazing job caring for my mini schnauzer mix, Xena. I always worry about leaving my girl, but I can tell how much Mandy loves and cares for dogs and made Xena feel included and she put my mind at ease. She even watched my jumping spider when my spider sitter flaked - so awesome. 100% recommend.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Auburn can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Auburn home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Auburn.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
You and your Auburn sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 CO 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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
