About: I have cared for dogs and cats for much of my life, and am experienced with dogs less than 10lbs, all the way up to 100+lbs! I am familiar with caring for animals with disabilities and medical needs, as well as reactive dogs and those with behavioral issues. As long as I know how best to care for an animal, I am more than happy to meet whatever needs they have to ensure a safe and happy experience. I am always happy to come by to keep your pet company, indoors and out! I am available at varied times of day, so I am happy to provide care whenever you need! I ensure that I know the expectations for a pet beforehand, so that I can care for them how their owner wants. I am happy to cuddle your dog all night, or keep them company while in their crate!
“We appreciate you both so much! We were stressed because we had a cancellation last minute but we are so glad it worked out. Thank you for everything! We will be booking again!!”
“Absolutely amazing. My dogs usually take a few visits for them to feel comfortable but within 10 minutes Luna was kissing her and within 30 minutes General was off leash and not paying any attention. He took treats from her no problem.”
About: *MY AVAILABILITY HAS BEEN UPDATED THROUGH THE END OF 2026!* Hi there, my name is Jared and I currently reside in central MA, Worcester area. I have been working with dogs for 11 years now, starting off as a groomer at Petsmart which was a 9 year career, a full time dog walker for a private business for a year and now dog sitting/walking on my own time. My full time job is a singer/dancer for Carnival Cruise Lines and when I'm home in between contracts, I am looking to make extra cash by lending my services and experience to whatever you may need. Along with grooming and dog walking experience, I have also house sat for numerous dogs ranging from puppy to senior. I'm comfortable with handling medications or special treatments that your pup might need. I hope you consider me and I can't wait to meet you guys! When I am home in between contracts with my full time job as a cruise ship singer/dancer, I have complete open availability. My schedule is set now until the end of 2026! I am vigilant, reliable, trustworthy and confident. I will make sure that your pet isn't out of my sight while I am taking care of it and treat it like my own!
“Liz was excellent. I was Away for the holidays for 6 days. Liz always showed up and communicated clear and well while taking care of my two cats. She did an excellent job with the feedings and keeping the cats area/litter box spotless. I couldnt Have asked for a better cat sitter/ in home visits. She even did this during Christmas Eve and Christmas, I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommended”
“Jessica was wonderful with our dog reactive rescue pup! She was on time, communicative, followed all of our requests, and most importantly our dog loved her. We will absolutely be booking with her in the future!”
“Chantal was amazing! She was punctual, treated the animals with great care, provided numerous pictures of the animals, and went above and beyond with making sure the animals weren’t bored. Our animals were well looked after, and happy upon our arrival.”
“I could not ask for a better dog sitter! Between the care, concern and communication ,I felt very comfortable leaving my fuzzy baby with Paul! I will definitely use him again. He’s very reliable!!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with years of pet sitting for friends and family, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and am now in veterinary school. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I have experience with medication administration, animal handling, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, but my biggest priority is making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I will be completing an internship, but I will be available on weekends for pet sitting. I also have availability in the evenings and on weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits, making it easy to provide consistent care around my schedule. For cat care, I am able to provide boarding in my home where I ensure a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. For dogs, I provide care in the client’s home, where I follow all instructions closely and respect the home as if it were my own. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel secure and well cared for.
About: I am in the middle of a career shift and have some additional free time on my hands and would love to turn my love of dogs into a little extra cheese... "who said cheese, can I haz some cheese". If you dog is in need of some extra walks, I am your man to keep that pup happy. I will be going to class in the evening, I can come over and walk your pet between 9:30am and 3:30pm. I regularly walk my own dogs over 2 miles everyday I am a loving a trustworthy person who has had or been around pets for over 20 years. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own
“Laura took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for ten days. She kept in regular contact with us, and our cat was in good spirits when we got home. We would definitely hire Laura again!”
About: Hello! 👋 Thank you for visiting my profile! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—from horses and dogs to cats, ferrets, and just about everything in between. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and over the years I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their beloved pets. I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I have a flexible, home-based schedule that allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and personalized care throughout your pet’s stay. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming, which is why I always recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure we’re a great fit. We primarily live in Florida but spend part of the summer at our home in Massachusetts. My calendar is always kept up to date, so you can book with confidence. Your dog will be welcomed into our home as part of the family. We have a fully fenced 6-foot privacy yard for safe outdoor play, and our two friendly resident dogs enjoy making new canine friends. For everyone’s safety, I kindly ask that all pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015. I have looked after a whole range of health and abilities, including a diabetic cat who needed insulin injections, and a dog who needed eye drops! I’m a college student in the area, so I have pockets of time throughout the week and on the weekend to hang out with pups! I would not be able to board, but I am sure to be extremely respectful of your home and space! I love learning how you do things and doing my best to replicate it.
About: I have always had a love for dogs (and all animals really!). I have been training and caring for my own dogs for over 15 years of my life. I have experience with special needs dogs (my own dog is deaf and I have had a deaf/blind dog in the past), I love to offer basic puppy and obedience training, multi dog walks and hiking adventures! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I use positive only methods and believe that all dogs deserve quality enrichment that lets them just be themselves. I currently work from home but my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a good amount of my day training my own dogs, providing enrichment and play with them on a daily basis and would love the opportunity to provide the same for your pup! When walking dogs, I do prefer that connectors are used for everyone’s safety and comfort and can provide them if needed! Any instructions left will be followed and I am willing to work with any training you are already doing with your pups to ensure smooth situations for all.
“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”
About: I’m happy to help easy any anxieties regarding leaving your pets! I am incredibly responsible and have a genuine love for all pets. I have years of experience taking care of pets as well as raising my own. I am new to the Rover site but hope you will take a chance on me, I promise you & your pet will not be disappointed! I am currently a stay at home mom and have a schedule that can be easily moved around. I am happy to work with whatever needs you have concerning checking on your pets and taking them out. I will be watching and caring for pets in your own space. I am happy to travel and take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Auburn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Auburn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
