“So happy we found Zulema! This was our first time leaving out little boy with a sitter and Zulema made all of us feel at ease about it, came for a meet and greet before and the day of sitting went smooth and she kept a great company to our Skip. She is very kind, calm and friendly and we felt Skip was so comfortable around her and coming home to see him just chilled was everything. Hundred percent recommended and we'd definitely reach out again from now on! Big thank you from all of us!:)”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our three dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which meant a lot to us. She was friendly, professional, trustworthy, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. It was obvious they were well cared for and getting lots of attention while we were gone. She even went above and beyond by keeping the floors vacuumed. We have a German Shepherd who is shedding quite a bit right now, and we came home to a house that wasn’t covered in dog hair, which was such a pleasant surprise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Rebecca again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I currently have three cats and a dog! Im very well rounded in terms of animal care, safety, and enrichment. I am a nursing school student so I can promise you safety is my top priority if your baby needs special care, I can safely administer injectable medications if needed. I am free day or night. I will always work with you to accommodate even the most last minute scheduling. I am currently available reliably Friday-Monday with occasional by request times available on other days. Message me if you are unsure! I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have worked with Senior and disabled animals so I am able to provide a well rounded range of care. I can also send regular photo and video updates because I know how scary it can be to trust someone in your home with your babies. You will never be left wondering under my care. For cats- Having 3 of my own, I totally understand that every cat has a different personality! Whether your cat is social and loves attention or prefers space and a calm environment, I take the time to earn their trust and keep their routine consistent. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Edi was an amazing sitter! This was a first-time experience for my dog Barry with an in-house sitter, and she absolutely spoiled him and went above and beyond to keep him happy. She sent pictures at least once a day with status updates on him, the house, the weather, etc. Communication was great from our first contact until we arrived back home from vacation. This was an overall great experience and I cannot recommend Edi enough!”
“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely fantastic! She was sure to check in with us daily about how our pets were doing and took the cutest photos. She asked so many detailed questions so she could make sure that she followed our regular routine, which we appreciated so much. She was sweet enough to take the mail in and left the house perfectly clean. Our dog and kitten were very happy when we came home and we could tell that they enjoyed their time with her. We'll absolutely be using her next time we go out of town! :)”
“Kimberlee was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. One of our dogs is very anxious and takes a long time to warm up to people, but she quickly warmed up to Kimberlee. Kimberlee kept our house tidy and even watered our plants. We would definitely book with Kimberlee again.”
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.
About: I love animals of all species- but dogs hold a special place in my heart! I have been dog-sitting for about 6.5 years now, and have enjoyed every furry visitor I've had. I just enjoy sharing space with them! I currently work from home, so I have the ability to give them all the attention they need and take them along for adventures (with permission). I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and making an amazing connection with you both! In seemingly stressful or chaotic situations I’m able to maintain my composure. I find that my demeanor makes dogs feel comfortable and relaxed upon meeting them, so in-home check ins will be smoother for your pet and I! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I look forward to providing excellent care for your beloved furry friend. I currently work from home, which allows a flexible schedule. I love having a dog over so I have more reason to take a walk. I have an open-space studio where they will be hanging out with me during the day. I always reach out to the client for a meet and greet to discuss their pet's behaviors and needs so I can adjust accordingly.
“Desiré took good care of my puppy she was left alone at home sadly we forgot to refill her food container plus we temporarily lost the key so she was left with no security at home. I’m thankful I was able to find her and got a response immediately and came home fed her and took her for a 4 walks! Stayed 5 hrs while we were away. Thank you so much for your service!”
“I am someone who is very anxious to leave my dogs with other people. I trusted them with Laura and I cannot recommend her enough. She house sat, my dogs were so well taken care of, she is very communicative, sent pictures multiple times a day and gave constant updates. It put me at ease. I will be reaching out to her again in the future for dog care.”
About: Huge dog lover, will pick up literally any dog I see on the streets. Treat every fur baby with love and respect just as they treat us with love and respect. Enjoy playing with them and being apart of them experiencing life as they should. I am a fur mama myself and have taken care of dogs from any and every stage. I also have foster in the past and have successfully placed all my fosters into loving homes. With me your fur baby will be loved, have fun and experience new adventures ☺️ I’m currently working part-time so they will fit just right in my schedule and I’m always there to update you because end of the day they’re our babies ! I have a fenced yard and a golden retriever who is just so loving and playful (she just turn 1). I also have huge cages if they were to be needed to be placed in a cage. Safety is my number one priority because that would be my number 1 concern as a dog mom myself
“Jody and Preston took very good care of our fur babies. As a first time Rover user, it was important to us to find someone who is good with Pibbles. Jody and Preston came over to our house prior to booking to ensure that everyone was a good fit. While watching our babies, Jody took care to send us pictures and keep us updated while we were gone. I would highly recommend booking with Jody and Preston!”
“Patti is amazing. I felt so comfortable with Patti coming and staying at my home to watch my girls. She even sent me pictures to let me know the girls were doing well. I can't believe it but when she left, she even washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed. WOW, above and beyond for sure. I would highly recommend her for your house sitting or pet sitting needs.”
“Thank you Charlotte for taking such great care of the boys. Her communication was great with daily updates and photos as well as a fantastic portrait of Goose and Putter. It was so nice to come home and have the boys relaxed and rested rather than strung out and stressed from staying in a kennel. You can tell Charlotte truly loves and cares about animals. We are so happy we found her.”
“Lillie did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She kept us informed on how he was doing and their activities together. She also kept our house as clean as we left it! We will definitely ask her to care for our precious Cheo again!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals so friends and family have relied on me over the years. Also, I have raised four children and many pets. I create my own schedule so reach out and we can make a time that works for you. I’m flexible. Holidays included as well as Christmas Native to the area. I have experience with many different types of animals over the years and I have four grown children and a grandchild so I have seen a lot. I’m happy to help so reach out.
“Donnis is incredible! My yorkie, Halo absolutely loved and adored her. Donnis was really sweet to my girl, took her on walks, played with her, fed her, and made sure she feels loved even though I was away for a really long time. Donnis was also super flexible with my hectic schedule. I would book Donnis again every time!”
About: I've had dogs and cats and been taking care of them since I was a a kid. Recently had to put my dog down due to cancer, and my grandmother is allergic to pet hair so I'm looking for another way to connect to pets until I can get my own again. Currently not working so unless I'm on vacation and out of state, I have a pretty open schedule. Willing to spend nights or extended stays if discussed and I can make it work. Willing to do whatever works for your pet and their routine, previously had a dog with stomach and skin issues so I have experience with different responsibilities.

Grace was an exceptional pet sitter. My wife and I were gone for a week and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing that our dogs were in good hands. She stayed at our house and upon our return everything was perfect. She kept us updated about our dogs everyday.
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. 🙏🏼
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Auburn on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,658 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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
