“My husband and I haven’t left our 3 year old Yorkie with anyone but family members. I read about Sue on Rover and she seemed like a good fit. We had a meet and greet ahead of time. She immediately made us feel comfortable with her friendly and professional personality. She and her sweet pups made our girl feel right at home. Sue sent photos so we could see how our Yorkie was getting along. We have put Sue on our favorite sitter’s list and she will our first choice anytime we need a sitter. We would highly recommend her to family and friends.”
“Lingwen was AMAZING! She made Nico feel super comfortable at her home and welcomed. Lingwen sent updates and pictures of Nico thought out the stay which we loved. Thank you much again for caring for Nico! If you’re looking for a sitter, do not hesitate to book her. She’s the best :)”
“We boarded our dog with Andreana for a week and she did a great job taking care of our Chloe! She sent pics and videos throughout the week. Chloe came home exhausted so we know she had so much playing with Milo all week!”
“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”
About: As a child, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. As an adult, I have vast experience caring for animals. For 25 years, I did pet sitting and house sitting in the Boston area before moving to Puerto Rico 13 years ago. The first month I lived there, I found a box of kittens in the road. I have been a rescuer since, being one of few who take on the most challenging cases. I have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of dogs and cats over the years and I have seen it all. Nothing intimidates me or grosses me out. I will give baths, dispense medications, clean up accidents, whatever is needed. I am 58 years old and am very reliable and trustworthy. I am 58 years old and do not work anymore so my availability is wide open. I do sometimes go to Puerto Rico where I am in the process of selling my home but the dates for those trips are flexible. I generally find that caring for pets in their own home is ideal as they really do appreciate routine, stability, and a familiar environment. However, I am certainly willing to care for them in my home as well and offer a fully fenced in back yard for dogs. There is an 11 lb dog at my house but he is used to cats and dogs coming and going so he should not pose a problem (or I can separate them, if preferred). In terms of routine, I am willing to adapt to whatever you have established and have no problem with giving medications, baths, or any other special care needed. With 13 years of rescuing in Puerto Rico and 25 years of pet care before that, I have seen it all (and nothing grosses me out!). If you like frequent updates and photos, no problem. If you like to relax and not think about home when you are away, no problem. Your beloved pets are in safe, loving hands.
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“Melissa was great with King and with me!!! She kept me updated with tons of photos, which I love, and was always extremely responsive. Would definitely book again!”
“Our pet dog had a great time at Paola. She is very attentive to our needs and took good care of our dog. She also provided daily updates and loads of pictures which made us feel comfortable the whole time we are away for a vacation.”
“Felicia, was fantastic with both of my dogs. Very communicative, provided daily updates on how both doggies were doing. I felt at ease during my vacation because my dogs were in great hands. I would recommend her to all my family and friends. Definitely using her for pet boarding services in the future.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”
“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Colette was absolutely wonderful. Winnie loved her! Her fenced in backyard is perfect for a small dog who loves to feel “free”! She sent us multiple photos and updates. We’d definitely use her again!”
“Krista and Henry took such good care of Ziggy while we were away! Ziggy can be a little unsure in new environments and with new people, but he settled in quickly with them. We received lots of videos of Ziggy playing his favorite games and got in a lot of fun yard time. He had a blast and came home a very happy and tired dog.”
“I am very happy to have found Mallory and James! I have a 3.5 year old boxer bulldog mix who has a ton of energy, and this is my first time leaving her overnight (other than at my parents). I had a family wedding across the country to attend to, so I did a test run the week before for my dog, Mocha. She did great at the test run, and for the wedding I left her with Mallory and James for 5 nights. They sent pictures and kept me updated that Mocha was safe and having fun. When we picked up mocha, she was sad to leave her friends and wiped out when we got home from all of the playing! I will definitely leave her with Mallory and James again, thanks so much for taking such good care of my baby!”
“I can't say enough about Jacqueline and her daughter. Cooper was well taken care of and I got updates as promised. I was so nervous because Cooper is only 5 months old but they took time with him and taught him to be more comfortable with stairs, and walking in the neighborhood. Thank you so much for taking good care of my fur baby.”
About: Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m an WFH educator with a lifelong love for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. Throughout my adult life, I’ve rescued four dogs, and caring for animals has always been something very close to my heart. My background in education has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, consistency, and understanding that every individual has their own personality and needs. I bring that same approach to caring for animals, whether it’s going for a walk, providing companionship, or making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same care and affection I give my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! ❤️ *************** BOARDING: I have two dogs of my own, but your pet’s comfort and safety will always be my priority. Any introductions or interactions will be carefully supervised and will only occur with your explicit permission. If you prefer no interaction, my dogs will be kept in a separate area of my comfortable home, allowing your furry family member to relax, feel secure, and receive plenty of individual love and attention without the stress of other dogs. work from home full-time with a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets frequent bathroom breaks, play time, and constant supervision throughout the day to ensure they stay happy and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and 2 large crates if needed. I always keep pets supervised, double-check secure doors/gates, and maintain a calm, clean environment tailored to each pet's routines and comfort.
“Shannon is a warm and welcoming person, and she made our dogs feel at home. She was very accommodating and easy to work with around diet, sensitivities, and preferences. Shannon sent us updates and photos while we were away, and it is clear that our dogs were very happy there! Her home was perfectly suited to our dogs needs, and we plan to have her sit for us again! Thank you Shannon... for giving us peace of mind while we were away!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and love all animals. We have 2 guinea pigs in our home. And 2 dogs thatare with us sometimes. They do not need to be there when we have other animals over. We would like to make time away from family easier on pets by welcoming them into our family for a bit. Thank you!! I work from home 3 days a week and in office 2 days. I would like to do pet care part time. I am able to walk animals outside or play with them inside. I have a yard with a dog line and we live at a dead end with walking trails 3 houses away. It is a very pet friendly neighborhood with not much traffic passing my home.
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Amy and Ryan are wonderful and so accommodating. They're able to keep constant care of our little guy Gersh, and give us the confidence we want that he'll be okay when we need to be away. Our flight home was recently delayed and with our work schedules the following day it could've been an issue, but we thankfully didn't need to worry. They immediately let us know it wouldn't be a problem at all, and were so understandable and easy to coordinate with. We're happy to have found them, and so is Gersh! Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
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.
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!!
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!

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.

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 .
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.

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.
