About: I’ve grown up with six dogs total, five cats, three hamsters and two fish , each animal has my heart. I have always loved meeting my family, friends and neighbors cats, fishes, dogs, and more. I am currently in full time school majoring in education. I dedicate my weekends and nights, occasionally other weekday hours to taking care of your sweet animals. I make sure to have access to pets food and water, and ensure the pets routine stays the same. I make sure every dog feels loved, by going on walks or out in back yards to play. I love to play red dot, mouse or box games with cats. I make sure smaller animals are safe and where they are allowed to be regarding safety.
“She did amazing! I’ve had horrible experiences from Rover. I haven’t been impressed with quality of sitters. She did amazing and I didn’t have to worry one bit. We will be using her again ? we have a boxer and American bully”
“Dana took excellent care of my girl. She communicated well throughout. It was clear Ellie was loved and well cared for in my absence. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a young child. I would often take care of my family and neighbors animals. This included feeding and walking the dogs or taken them home and watching them overnight I'm free all days of the week for drop ins and dog walking. I also am open too house sitting but please try to let me know ahead of time. I make sure to always have food and water for the pets in the home and I make sure to do 30 minute walks unless the advised to do shorter or longer walks. I also make sure to check back in on the pets every hour or two.
About: I walk, feed, bathe, play, and always give pups lots of attention! Dogs are my favorite and I always enjoy making new dog friends. I enjoy every little thing I get to do with dogs. I don’t work many hours during the week. I am available most days of the week so I am always able to watch dogs when needed. I am home every night so I can watch them overnight. I have a very friendly puppy who loves other dogs and can be around multiple dogs. I always make sure that anyones dog is in a safe environment. I hardly ever leave them unattended and unsupervised. We go for walks very often when it is nice out. I take my puppy outside to go potty at least once an hour if not more. I always make sure everyone is fed and happy.
About: I love animals of all kinds. I've had dogs and frogs and I'd love to take care of any critter. There is a special place in my heart for seniors and special needs. I grew up with 2 black labs and helped tend to their various health conditions as well as their needs when they got older. I had my own dog (85 lb black lab) for 14 1/2 years and he had an array of issues over the years - Parvo, 2 hip surgeries, and so much more. His back legs stopped working the last 3 1/2 years of his life so I was his full-time caretaker. Getting him up and down, constantly cleaning up potty and poo accidents, switching out pads and keeping him clean. But most important was to keep him stimulated, happy, and help him live his best life with the new normal he was dealt. I have extensive experience with caring for dogs that need special attention, have given meds, injections, expressed bladder, and more. I currently work outside of the home Monday - Friday 8-5. I can be home at lunch time for 30 minutes each of those days to play and give snuggles. Weekends are hit-and-miss for availability. Your pet would be free to roam my home unless you'd prefer they be more contained. I have a large backyard with a 4ft chain link fence. If your dog is a jumper or dog aggressive I'll keep them on a leash when we go outback. We will walk and run around to make sure they still get plenty of outside time. I'm happy to follow your every instruction and of course give lots of lovies.
“Alissa was seriously the best sitter ever. She took such great care of our dogs and our house. She sent so many pictures and are house was taken care of! She really exceeded our expectations and she definitely will be our sitter moving forward!”
“Evelina was the best! I wouldn’t want to hire anyone else to watch our pups. She has great communication and gives the dogs love that they deserve!! HIGHLY recommend!! She treats your pets just like they’re her own. 🤍”
“This was my first time using Erika and she was great! She was very communicative and asked clarifying questions, as Ginger was anxious from the wind and unknown reasons. Erika is very caring and I can tell she loves animals. Ginger was happy and healthy when I came home and my house was clean and well cared for!”
About: I have always loved taking care of animals since I was young- from dogs, cats, chickens, and fish I have always been surrounded by animals. I have a particular interest in animal behavior and training- I always want to ensure animals feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed when they are in my care. Before moving to Boston, I attended Colorado State University seeking my degree in veterinary medicine- the classes I attended focused on animal behavior, animal environment, and specifically handling large animals such as cattle. During my time there, I acquired my IACUC training for animal handling (can provide if needed, however it technically expired last year) and successfully performed medication administration, vaccine/medication injections, bovine castration, proper animal handling, and more. Unfortunately due to a family emergency I could not finish my degree, however I am looking to complete my animal training certification, as I still love working with animals! While I, myself, do not currently have any pets, my roommate has a cat that I help care for- his name is Boog and he's incredibly cute! I currently work part time Saturday-Monday mornings- after 3pm I am completely free! If your pets can be left alone for about 8-9 hours (travel time depending), I can house sit on these days while working. The rest of the week, I spend time on my hobbies and doing research on animal behavior, meaning I will have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever else your pet may desire. I like to set up a trial run before any official appointment just to make sure your animal is comfortable with me and vice versa! This gives a great time where your animal has a familiar person (you!) to reassure them that I (a stranger) am no threat, as well as going over care instructions, any medical concerns, and your typical routine for your pet(s).
“Heather did a great job with all our animals. Chickens, chicks, dog and cats. She sent pictures of them everyday. The house was immaculate as well. We definitely will have Heather back.”
About: I provide comforting care when you can't take your fur babies with you. I give peace of mind so you know your pet is having a positive experience with me and that your home is safe and secure. I understand that each pet is different and has routines and needs of care which I will always follow. Having had pets of my own, I appreciate the individuality of each animal and feel confident in giving them the space they need or the affection they desire. From me they will always get what they need and feel cared for. I have had the opportunity to care for large and small dogs, a cat who people were afraid of but who eventually happily coexisted with me. I work full time as a remote worker so I can provide in home pet first care with ease. My work and schedule is flexible, which allows for pet care to be added into my day with little disruption to me or the pet. When I am with a pet in their home, their routine and needs come first. Besides the instructions or guidance I am given about the pet, I observe and engage with the pet to learn about them and make them comfortable and happy while I am in their home.
About: I've loved dogs and cared for them all my life. I have a special place in my heart for the scent hound breeds! I understand what dogs need to be comfortable and thrive, and I am honored that you put trust in me to take care of your four-legged family members. I'll spoil your babies as I do my own. I am experienced with rescue dogs and those that came from traumatic situations. I can administer medications safely and effectively. My goal is to relieve any anxiety you might have when leaving your fur baby in someone else's care. I offer "pupdate" photos, video chats, and welcome any check in texts and phone calls. I'm happy to set a met and greet with you soon! I have three dogs of my own that are very well spoiled and cared for. I do not have human children, so I can focus my efforts on your baby. Pets are family members in my home. They have free reign to rest where they choose while they are here. I love pets and cuddles! Dogs are not crated unless requested or absolutely necessary or directed. I feed in separate rooms to avoid possessive behaviors, and dogs are always monitored and supervised while playing together. I take directions very well and will make sure to care for your babies just as you would if you were here with them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,576 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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.
