About: I’ve been around dogs since middle school and have always enjoyed spending time with them. Over the years, I have helped care for many of our friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds and personalities. I currently have one mini schnauzer at home who loves making new friends! I work a 9-to-5 schedule on weekdays, but I’m fully available on weekends to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel right at home. I treat every pet like my own beloved family, so you can feel confident knowing they’ll be loved, safe, and well cared for—no neglect, ever
“Rosemary is seriously the best! This was the first time we were leaving our cats alone for more than a day and we were super nervous because they’re so attached to us. Rosemary took great care of them and sent us tons of updates and pics. She stayed to brush and play with them and was sure to check on our super shy, skittish kitty. We’ll definitely book her again if we travel again!”
“Emily was amazing! She dropped in to visit our cat while we were gone for a week and sent us pics with updates during each visit. She reached out when she needed and was overall very attentive to our little fur baby. I would highly recommend her!”
“Highly recommend! Daniela watched our three dogs over the weekend and was fantastic. She's professional, friendly, and sent us tons of pictures and detailed updates after every visit. It’s rare to find someone so attentive to a multi-dog household. Five stars!”
“Lillie stepped in when another sitter cancelled in the middle of my vacation. Answered very promptly and was able to go take care of my baby same day. Definitely will use her services in the future!”
“Laila did an amazing job! We reached out last minute and she was very responsive. Her communication was amazing and she went above expectations to spend time and play with our kitties. We will definitely rebook with her!”
“Iyah was very caring for my cats while I was away on a work trip! She went above and beyond to make sure I was updated every evening, and Mort and Maeve loved her! Will definitely book again.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember - from my childhood Akita to my Pom-Poo mix to my current German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix. I trained my current dog (Goose) through an intensive hands-on 6-week obedience course. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I don’t just watch dogs, I treat them like family. I work full-time but my work schedule is pretty flexible. I have a lot of off days during the week (Tuesday through Thursday) to walk pups and make visits! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d expect for my own. I will follow your pet’s routine closely - whether that means morning walks, mealtime rituals, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time. I keep your pet comfortable, happy, & safe in their familiar environment. I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and your absence as stress-free as possible - for both of you!
About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been one of my favorite parts of life. I also care for rabbits and guinea pigs, so I understand the responsibility and commitment that comes with keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe every day. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to providing dependable care while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am available for pet care throughout the week with the exception of Monday mornings and afternoons, when I work until 5 PM. I have a consistent daily routine and will always communicate my availability clearly with pet parents. I do have my own pets that I care for, including two guinea pigs and a rabbit, so I will need to return home briefly each day to maintain their feeding and care routine. I am happy to discuss schedules with each pet parent to make sure their pet’s needs are fully met. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment clean and safe, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they have fresh water, plenty of love, and the care they need while you’re away. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your pet and your space with the same respect, patience, and care that I give my own.

I cater to each pet's needs and strive to provide the highest quality care.
“Can’t say enough good things about Justine. She took excellent care of our cat Leo and also helped look after some neighborhood cats that I feed while we were away. I am always anxious to leave Leo , he does not do well being boarded so finding someone trustworthy and good to come to our house was such a blessing. She was able to earn Leo’s trust which was impressive because he’s usually shy and hides around strangers. She was able to get him to come out and he even let her pet and brush him! She kept me updated during the week and for once I was able to enjoy vacation without worrying... I definitely would not hesitate using her again!”
“Erica and her family are the absolute best ever!! Super kind and took amazing care of our home and our babies! She went above and beyond and is a genuine and amazing person. 10/10 recommend! Best experience ever”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Auburn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Auburn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
