“Elyssa was took extremely good care of our pets while we were gone for a week. She sent daily updates and photos and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for! I will definitely be rebooking her next time we go on vacation!”
“Jacolyn was amazing with our kitty, Luna. Typically Luna is a little bit shy with new people, but when she first met Jacolyn, she went right up to her and rubbed all over her. Jacolyn made sure to check in with us when she fed Luna and sent us pictures of her as well :).”
“Evelyn watched our cats for 14 days while also giving medicine, playing with them and giving them lovings. We were so stressed about leaving our cats with a stranger, but she made the process so unbelievably easy, on top of the fact we have a diabetic cat and she went above and beyond ensuring nothing went wrong. So responsive to messages, sends noted and pictures daily and clearly made sure the litter didnt get out of hand -- absolutely no gross smells or messed by the time we came home. We will be looking for her on our next trip, especially considering how fast our cats took to her and how relaxed they were during the trip and when we came home. Thank you Evelyn so much for all that you do and for being you, you will be contacted again for our next trip, as said.”

“Christy is amazing. She arrived on time, shared pictures at every visit. She was compassionate with our senior dog, feeding her by hand to ensure she ate. Christy played with our more active dog, making sure he spent some energy. For the first time using Rover we could not have had a better experience. Christy, thank you so very much for tending our babies as we would.”
About: Hi Everyone! I have shown dogs since 2003. I also used to be an assistant manager for a doggy day care at PetSmart as well as a Manager for PetSmart. Pets are my life and I will treat your pet like they are my own! Currently I have a retired Golden Retriever named Summer and 2Tollers-named Cardinal and Tasha. I also have 3 cats. One indoor cat and 2 outdoor/indoor cats that I rescued from a farm in Texas. I am currently working from home and spend my days with my dogs. I take my dogs to training classes such as Conformation and Rally and they love it. I have a large yard with lots of outdoor toys and your fur babies will have a great time running around the yard with my 2 dogs.
About: I’ve taken Care of dogs my whole life and have been doing dog boarding full time for over a year now .Currently have one senior girl that we have in our home and a younger pup. Your pup would be loved taken care of and be given all the walks and treats you allow throughout their visit. I am experienced in puppies and older senior care. I am working part time and would have plenty of time to tend to their needs. Feed them with whatever dietary restrictions you may have and normal potty breaks with space for back yard activities and dog walks I have a fenced yard and crates available if your dog needs it. If they are spending the night I have dog beds. They would have friends to play with that would require a meet and great
About: I’ve always enjoyed watching my friends/neighbors pets and this is a great way to continue doing what I love. I volunteer at shelters when I am able to, which has given me the experience of breeds all shapes and sizes! I got my first dog, Cassiar, a Jack Russell Terrier, when I was just 3 years old. Growing up alongside her taught me important lessons about understanding dogs' unique needs, behaviors, and the deep, unconditional bond we share with our pets. With this knowledge, I strive to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved! I am currently taking online classes so I am home 24/7 and have a very flexible schedule! Making it easy for me to cater towards your pets needs. I have a fenced yard that has plenty of room to roam around! 2.8 arces. As well as a clean environment for your pets to make them feel at home.
About: With nine years of dedicated pet‑sitting experience, from raising puppies and owning pets my whole life, working at a stable, to working in a vet office, I’ve cared for a wide variety of beloved companions—horses, dogs, cats, and even parrots! I bring a personal approach and professional skill set to every job and try to treat each animal like my own. What Sets Me Apart- Reliable communication: I send frequent photo and video updates so owners can relax knowing everything's going smoothly. Home-away-from-home care: My goal is to replicate each pet’s normal environment—whether that’s the pasture, living room, or aviary—so they feel at ease in your absence. I’d love to chat about how I can provide compassionate, professional care for your furry or feathered family members. Feel free to ask about my routines, special animal skills, or typical day—you’ll know your pets are in great hands! I work from home and have a pretty open-flexible schedule. When I agree to a job, I make sure my life goes around your animals as much as I can. We have a fenced yard and dog pen in the yard as well. We have a loving, 2 year old Aussie that would love to play with your friend or I can crate either your pet or mine if needed. If I am coming to your home for check-ins or walks, I try to make your pet feel comfortable and loved on in your absence.
About: I own a cane corso/Great Dane and have done extensive training and care myself with her and have owned dogs my entire life.

Most mornings I am busy with school but I willing to work with you I have plenty of room for all your animals! And can do what is needed based on your request, they will be so happy and loved with me
“Alissa really helped me with Chumley! He absolutely loves her, and they bonded very quickly. I have no reservations about hiring Alissa again should the need arise. Thank you, Alissa!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life, everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to shy cats and cuddly kittens. I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors with walks, overnight stays, feedings, medication, and just giving their pets the love and attention they need while their owners are away. Im available to walk, check in on your animlas, stays & much more!!! i look forward to connecting (: My schedule is currently widely open for the next two months!! I am more than happy to meet your furry friends & cant wait to make a difference in your life. I have a fenced yard, my dogs aren't typically left alone anymore than 3-4 hours at a time. I also cook fresh meals for my doggies weekly & they are SPOILED! I can assure you your dog/cat will be in safe loving hands
About: I love animals! It’s fun for me to get to meet your pet. I happily take care of dogs 25lbs and up. I have 3 dogs of my own. The youngest is playful and fun. The other two get along well with other dogs but are older. I can drop in on cats at your house. I work part time both at home and in an office. This is a part time addition to my life because I love to get to meet new pet friends and their parents. As a young child my first pet was a guinea pig named whiskers. You’ll see a pic of him and me in the photos. My family also had a dog named Pepsi who I loved playing with. In college, I got my first dog on my own. She was an Australian cattle dog / german shepard mix. She was strong willed and high energy like any blue heeler and she taught me a ton about caring for a pet. Before starting with Rover, I had helped friends watch their cats and dogs while they were on trips. We have a 5 year old shih poo, a 14 year old standard schnauzer and a 1.5 year old border collie mix. I’m familiar with high energy, intensity animals and those who need a slower pace. I’m interested in helping care for dogs in our home or cats in your home if it’s near where we live. I have a job that has a flexible schedule. I work some days all at home and others in an office. If your dog is active we will include them on walks and we have a split rail fence in our back yard. Pets can have roaming privileges around the house or be in a crate if that brings them comfort. Our dogs sleep in the bedroom with us mostly in their beds but occasionally on the human beds with us. We take regular walks and pets can go outside frequently. I will treat your pet to a fun stay at our house and send them home with you happy :)
About: I've taken care of dogs and other animals since I can remember. I have groomed and walked my own dogs. I can handle all size of dogs. Also have experience in livestock and what not I have 2 dogs A red Heeler and a blue heeler! Nena and phantom! Both rescues and a bunch of energy lol!! They are sweethearts though!! I will be not bringing client dogs home. I am willing to go to your house and pet sit there. Sorry for the any inconveniences.
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).
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, both for daily routines and extended stays. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a calm, reassuring presence. I’m reliable, communicative, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with especially good availability in the afternoons and evenings. I’m also available on weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or extra play and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow care instructions closely and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or out on walks, I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, and surroundings. I’m respectful of your space, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,434 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.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
