“Sue is wonderful! My dogs and I got to meet Sue and her dogs before she boarded them. She really is patient with my little dogs and understands their behaviors. One of my dogs is very anxious and barks a lot. She dealt with it well and realized he was just unsure of the environment. My 6 pound Pomeranian took a few days to warm up to her but in the end she did. Sue didn’t push herself on my dog and just let my pup come to her. She took special care to walk them and make them feel as comfortable in their new environment. Sue also took time each day to send me photos and texts so I knew they were ok. I have already booked her for two more weeks this summer. I recommend her with your dogs too. It is obvious she loves and enjoys dogs.”
“Andreana is a great sitter! She has watched my 2 pups many times now and she is always easy to communicate with and very flexible, even when I change timing last minute! The boys always come home tired so I know they had fun!”
“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Erica was great to work with from the start. Very responsive and gave me constant updates of my dog while I was away. I plan to use Erica strictly as my dog sitter from here on. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby.”
“Tamara did a fantastic job watching our dog Max. He was well cared for and we could tell he really enjoyed his stay. Tamara is always caring and responsive, and was able to accommodate our drop off and pick up times so. We highly recommend Tamara and Jerimiah, and will certainly be using them again.”
“Melissa & Axel took amazing care of our golden retriever over a two night weekend stay. They sent us plenty of updates and we could tell that our dog loved the stay with their family.”
“Alexis took such wonderful care of our Goldendoodle, Walden, and treated him like one of her own. Walden and Brewer became fast friends. It was clear he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust Alexis with Walden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pup.”
“Rocky had a great time staying with Sarah and Luis! He was well cared for and had plenty of fresh air, walks and play time. I received pictures and notes throughout Rocky’s stay. I would highly recommend them if you want the best care for your furry family member!! 5 star experience all around!🐕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“It was so nice to be able to go on vacation without worrying about Tootsie for the first time! I mean not a single worry! Makes for a much better vacation! Leslie was so nice and patient! It took Tootsie a day to settle in and once she was I know tootsie was very comfortable. She sent daily pictures and updates which gave me further assurance. You just don’t get that from a boarding place even though they promise that. Tootsie is a rather “needy” dog but like a 2nd child. I could tell she was well taken care of. I would not hesitate to call Leslie again and if you are reading this review, rest assured your dog will be in great hands! Thanks Leslie!!”
“Our dog Luna had a great time during her stay with Krista and Henry! It was clear that she was well cared for and happy. It was so great to have that peace of mind while we were traveling!”
“Thank you SO MUCH Lindsay for loving Bentley for a week! Based on the pictures and video and how wiped out he was when he returned home, he definitely had a great “vacation” as well!”
“Andrea is absolutely wonderful in every way. We couldn't have found a better person to take care of our dog while we are away. She is responsible, responsive, kind and most importantly adores dogs. We feel very lucky to have found her!”
“Julie is so wonderful!!! She was very welcoming to us and our dogs. Her calm manner is comforting to pets and pet parents. She kept us updated, so our days away were worry free. Thank you for having such expert caregivers that keep our babies both safe and happy! We highly recommend Julie and will definitely use her again.”
“Katherine and her husband were great. My dog took to them immediately, which is not usual. They are obviously dog lovers and it showed in how comfortable my dog was at their place. They accommodated her food and medication necessities, played with her a bunch and sent me pics that put my mind at ease. Wouldn't hesitate at all to leave her with them again.”
“Outstanding experience with Pat. I had her stay at the house and watch the dog. It is the first time I’ve done that. It was a game changer. In no small part due to the care and precaution Pat took. She came by in advance to get to know my dog and how the house worked. She asked all the right detailed questions. Things I hadn’t thought of! And then at time of transition, she ran through and tested that everything worked as she thought. Pat kept me informed both days. Made me aware of anything of concern. Inn this case GI distress on one of his walks which is not uncommon for Marvel on first day of someone new. But I sure was pleased she let me know and she let me know that it cleared by a later walk. Pat seemed unflappable, capable and careful. My dog liked her a lot as some of the pictures we of my dog having a great time. Plus he was great when I returned as was the house and plants. I will definitely book Pat again. .”
“Caylin and her husband were very nice and accommodating and gave daily updates and pictures. Kept contact and answered quickly. I would recommend highly. I would definitely use their services again.”

So fortunate to found Leslie to watch our fur babies for the weekend. Wonderful home with lots of room and a fenced backyard. Our lab isn’t able to do stairs, Leslie was so accommodating as to walk her around the front of the house to let her inside. Loved the photos shared of their stay, thank you for taking such great care of them. ❣️
1st time long term boarding and everything went perfectly. Paola and Margav kept us updated daily (including with photos and videos) on how things were going. Cody had a terrific time, was well cared for, lots of personal interaction with Paola and Margav and got to play every day with his regular daycare dog friends and other boarders which greatly helped him make an easy adjustment. This experience was far far better (for him and us) than boarding at a commercial pet care facility and we will absolutely go this was on all future boarding requirements. I can’t thank Paola and Margav enough for making this so easy and stress free.
Alexis took such wonderful care of our Goldendoodle, Walden, and treated him like one of her own. Walden and Brewer became fast friends. It was clear he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust Alexis with Walden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pup.
Frankie is so happy when he comes home from Margav & Paola! It makes me feel so good that I know Frankie is safe and comfortable in their home. I love the pictures they send. The communication is great and they are always very fast to respond. The huge backyard is perfect for Frankie to run and play! Thank you Margav & Paola!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Auburn can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Auburn home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Auburn.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Auburn sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
