Rhonda was absolutely wonderful. She made sure our fur babies were well taken care of. She sent us daily updates and photos. I will definitely be using her over and over again.

About: I have house sat for animals owners for years now and have multiple repeat clients. One being a dog with heart failure and another with bladder issues. As of right now I am working morning and am free in the afternoons and evenings. However I plan to be free at all times soon. If needed I can keep my personal animals away from a clients, keeping them on separate floors. I live on a farm so there is plenty of space for dogs to run around

About: Hello I am new to the Rover app! I have had pets since I was able to walk. I currently have a senior dog who I adopted almost a decade ago. My dog care experience for others mostly comes from drop ins. I have been around a variety of breeds. I've cared for Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have experience with skittish dogs as well as senior dogs. I do work a full time job but I keep my availability on Rover updated. I work closings so my morning availability is open more but depending on the day I can do certain afternoon slots. When performing drop ins and walks I notate any feedings and/or when they have relieved themselves. Pictures are always provided and any instructions for specific care is absolutely welcome. I have a senior dog so I know what it is like for a pet to have special needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years. My house was always a zoo growing up and we’ve never not had several cats and dogs! I am very responsible and have many years of experience of feeding, walking, and taking care in general of animals. Along with caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for weekends at a time for several local families for the past couple of years. My dog has also had two litters of puppies (10 puppies both times!) within the past 3 years and I have helped raised the puppies both times. My dog was unable to produce milk both pregnancies so I had to bottlefeed all pups everyday until they were able to eat soft food around 5 weeks. So, I have lots of experience dealing with puppies if anybody has a full time job and just needs some extra help with their pups! I am currently home from college for the summer and have full availability! I do not have another job so I am free any day of the week or weekend to care for your sweet pets!! I have three dogs and four cats at my home that I play with all day and night! I frequently take my dogs on walks and to the dog park every day. I also have strollers I put my cats in because they love to be outside as well! I currently have a 5 month old puppy and have completely potty trained her already. While dog sitting, I will take my clients pets out regularly and give them plenty of playing and loving time! If they needed to be crated at night, I will ensure that they are crates but if they don’t need to be then they can sleep with me!:)

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlin, and I’m a huge animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old, and I currently have both a dog and a cat of my own who are treated like family. Because I’m a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring to look after your pets. I have experience with overnight pet sitting, dog walking, playtime, feeding routines, puppy training, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I always make it a priority to follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully so both you and your pet feel at ease. I currently work part-time at a summer camp Monday through Friday from 9 AM–2 PM, which leaves me available for early morning, afternoon, evening, weekends, and overnight pet care. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, fresh water, and plenty of playtime and affection. For overnight, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and medications if needed.

About: I have about 2 years of consistent hands-on experience caring for dogs as an adult, in addition to growing up around pets my whole life. I currently take care of my own two dogs, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and overall care. Through my experience, I’ve learned how to understand different dog personalities and adjust to their needs — whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with maintaining routines and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Caring for animals has always been natural to me, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I usually work mornings and get off around 12pm on weekdays and weekends, which leaves me flexible in the afternoons and evenings for pet care. I’m able to adjust my schedule to fit bookings and make sure pets get consistent care and attention. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine with feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, and I also take them on regular walks for exercise. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I always follow any instructions provided. I also send updates so owners feel at ease while their pet is with me.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started caring for dogs when I was 10, helping out neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, and bathing their pets. Over the years, that love has only grown. I’ve worked as a dog daycare attendant for the past 2 years and currently work as a veterinary assistant, which has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs and their unique needs. I’m enrolled in vet nursing school because caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I’m currently working part-time and am an online student so I have flexibility in my schedule to ensure that I can care for your pet! Caring for pets in their homes is a responsibility I take seriously. I ensure they have a safe, comfortable environment, maintain their feeding and exercise routines, and provide companionship. Additionally, I adhere to any specific care instructions provided by pet owners, whether it's administering medications, grooming, or extra playtime. My primary goal is to make pets feel secure and loved in their own space while their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 11. I was told I had to do all the puppy chores if I wanted a puppy so I’ve always walked, bathed, feed, and played with them as much as possible. I love all dogs no matter the shape or size. I also live on a big farm where they would be able to play and run all day long. I currently work a full-time job three days a week. It can depends on my schedule, but I get my schedule months in advance, so I’m available on the days that my calendar says I’m available and I’m normally available every other weekend. I do go to college but I’m online this semester so I’ll be home the days I don’t work. We have all kinds of toys and room for them to play. I live in a neighborhood. I don’t have a fenced in yard but they would be able to run all day as they pleased and run inside as they please and go on fun trips and do all that kind of stuff while they’re with me my parents also have a big farm so there might be days where I decide to go out there and I could take your pups with me and they can run and run and play all day long on the farm.I also never mind to bath them if they get dirty!

About: I have taken care have so many dogs and ages since I was 10. My parents have always had 2 or 3 dogs and neighbors and other family members as well. I would love to just walk them around for hours on end and play with them. I have a lot of flexibility in my day. I’m a part-time job That’s also very flexible towards the end of the week and weekends works best because it gives me even more time to play with your fur babies. I have a backyard and lots of different walking areas to take your fur babies. I also have one dog as well that loves others . But she isn’t home all the time some weekends she’s gone.

I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Auburn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 219 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
