“Kaitlyn created the perfect environment in our home for our pups to feel safe and happy! It makes going away stress free. We look forward to having her care for our dogs again soon.”
“Did amazing at last moments notice. Treated our puppies so well and gave them lots of love while we were away. Very communicative and sent updates and left our house and dogs clean and happy.”
“Maria is the best! She house sat Christian while I was away on a trip for a week. She attended to him & his special needs while providing updates. Videos, and photos. Not only was Christian well taken care of but upon returning my home was nice & clean how I left it! Highly Highly Recommend”
About: I love dogs and cats too, I got into dog - sitting when I first moved to Georgia and my neighbor went out of town I watched her dog while she was gone and have been dog sitting ever since. I love going out and walking dogs and playing with dogs. I make sure they feel like they are loved and with their owners when I watch animals I love making them even little treats and dinners. Also if you have specific thing your animal eats then you can count on me to make sure they have a good healthy meal, I also am good about giving them their medication. I understand how people love for their animals as if they were their children and I totally get it. You worry about them and want to make sure they are taken care of well. I myself even hate the thought of my animal being alone for over a long period of time because of work or school.
“Laura was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make our life easy while I’m out of town and my husband having a changing work schedule. She was an extra hand that adapted to changes quickly which we both appreciated.”
“If you are looking for a sitter who can handle a literal zoo with grace, look no further! We threw a lot at Barbara—dogs, cats, mini donkeys, and even a goat—and she handled them all like a pro. But the real test was our pig. To be fair, she had zero 'swine experience' going in, and our pig definitely knew it. He made it his mission to drive her absolutely bananas, but she didn’t crack! She was patient, attentive, and somehow managed to keep everyone happy and fed. It’s not every day you find someone willing to referee a pig while making sure the donkeys get their ear scratches. We came home to a very calm farm and happy animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again—if the pig hasn't scared her off for good”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have been surrounded by them for most of my life! Growing up around my grandmother’s farm gave me plenty of experience being around different animals. I also have 6 years of pet care experience, including caring for my grandmother’s three dogs whenever she travels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and looking after multiple dogs at once. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently a full-time online college student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m also a very active person, so I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and keeping dogs entertained. Since I’m not currently working, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive, patient, and love giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away!
About: I’ve had pets since I was young. I love petting animals and playing with the. My family and friends have depended on me to care for their furry friends for them while they were out of town. I am available each day to do a drop in visit. I have a part time job as a baker as well, so some visits might be before and/or after. I can do late/early visits as well as overnight! I love taking dogs on walks. In a client’s home, I treat everything with the upmost respect and care for fur babies as if they were my own! I have a truck that I can drive your doggie to the park in.
“I cannot recommend Felipe enough. He stayed in my home for three weeks to care for my senior dog and did an exceptional job in every possible way. He followed every instruction and consistently went above and beyond, especially given that my dog is older and requires special care. Throughout his stay, he remained calm, patient, and thoughtful, even when unexpected situations came up. He physically lifted up and assisted my dog countless times when he couldn’t get up or walk, kept him comfortable, and genuinely cared for his well-being. When an emergency arose, Felipe took my dog to the vet right away, stayed with him, and kept me fully updated. His communication was outstanding. He provided frequent updates, sent photos, responded quickly, and proactively raised concerns whenever something needed attention. In terms of home care, Felipe kept the house in fantastic condition. He was respectful of the space, left everything clean and tidy, and even washed all the sheets and towels he used before my return (something he didn’t have to do, but did anyway, and I really appreciated it). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, Felipe is exactly the kind of sitter you want. I’m incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely hire him again.”
“Taylor was amazing!!! This was our first time having someone stay with our dog while we were away and Taylor made us feel so comfortable!!! She took great care of our dog and our house while we were away!!! We would 100% recommend her!!!”
“Liberty has stayed with our kitties several times now and she is always consistent! Our kitties know and love her now and my husband and I have such peace of mind whenever she’s with them! She is very communicative and we know they are being taken care of! Highly recommend!”
“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! I have also taken care of neighbors pets for several years now and just looking to do so in my new home. I care for horses in my day to day and I love them and wish I could board them but I need a much bigger space for that! So in the meantime, I have a spare room where crated dogs could stay or cats! I love being around animals and I plan on getting a cat and then a dog or two in the future once I have a bigger area for them! I would love to watch and take care of your pets and you can count on me for them to be well taken care of! I work 9-5 on wednesdays and thursdays and in the evenings on weekends! Outside of those times I can be with your pet as much as needed! Mondays and Tuesdays are my days off. I am in a two story townhome with a spare room on the ground level. I can have crates if needed in there and there’s a pretty big walkable area outside of the town house for bathroom breaks and walks! At a clients home, I am comfortable with most places!
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“After my regular sitter cancelled because of family issues I was lucky to find Ariel. She came before the days I needed for a meet n greet. Both of my Boys were fighting over her attention as soon as she got here. I will definitely use her again. My boys are spoiled and love cuddle time. One is a “talker” and she sis great with both.”
About: Hey there! I’ve lived with pets most of my life and worked to grow my pet sitting business in my 4 years living in Miami, FL. I was unable to have my own dogs due to an allergic roommate, so I got all my pet attention from watching my friends’ animals! I’ve given love to the dog who really dislikes kisses, and I’ve watched the active puppy who wants to play 24/7! I have experience giving medications to senior dogs and short-term meds for special situations. I love getting to know different kinds of dogs and giving them what they need! Each new situation requires a get-to-know-you period, but my hope is to develop a network of pet friends to play with here in GA! I’m currently focused on pet sitting but I may occasionally take a substitute teaching position, which could change my availability during the day. Advance notice would be given if this might conflict. I live in an apartment building that has ample outdoor space for walking and potty breaks! There are other dogs in the building that we might run into, so please let me know if socialization is okay with your dog. If we’re in your home, I make sure to ask about regular walking routes and anything to be aware of in the neighborhood. I’ve also done a fair amount of house sitting, so trash schedules and mail delivery will be handled!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Laura was so sweet to help me out on short notice with my 17 year old dog. She did an excellent job sending videos and pictures and keeping me I formed on how he was doing. Very sweet personality and she gives attention to details to keep you pet happy while you’re away.
Cindy was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we knew our dog was in great hands. She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals, and our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter! We will call her again definitely..!!!! Thank you again and again. 🙏🏼
Words do not express how grateful I am for Temi. I was a first time Rover user, for an overnight stay for 5 days. I have two dogs that vary in temperament. We originally were simply going to board our dogs at a local pet “hotel”. These plans fell through, and we decided to give Rover a try. From the moment Temi decided to accept our overnight booking, she was VERY professional and personable. She asked all the right questions to understand how to best support our two fur babies while we were out of town. Her communication is TOP NOTCH, and she continued to update us via the APP. It felt good to get pictures and videos, which confirmed our first babies were happy and well cared for. Temi is amazing because she immediately caught on to helping our younger fur baby with improving her leash manners. In today’s society it’s not always you find someone who goes above and beyond. Temi did, and I am so appreciative that she accepted our booking. She will now be our go to for any out of town visits. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much Temi!!!
Arianna is an excellent pet sitter. She has watched my 2 pups and goldfish several times. She is responsive and my pets love her. I missed a flight a few months ago and she stayed an additional day last minute. My home is always neat and tidy upon my return home. I highly recommend her!!

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.
Tip: 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 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
