About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by cats and dogs, and have been working in veterinary medicine for about two years. I have been trained extensively in fear free practices, prioritizing pet well being above all else. I am comfortable with complex medical cases, medication administration, and taking things at your pet’s pace. I love animals and have what it takes to make your pets feel cared for, loved, and safe. I would be honored with the opportunity to take care of your pet. I am employed part-time and also a student, so pet care would be best for drop-in visits. I am flexible to work around my schedule as best as I can. I will ensure that I take care of pets according to your exact specifications, always keeping them safe and content! I am also clean, schedule-oriented, and follow directions well to ensure your pet’s schedule stays intact even when you’re away!

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for over a decade. I can promise both reliable care and excellent communication while watching your pet. I am a stay at home Mom so my schedule for pet sitting is very flexible. I can visit as often as your pet needs. Pets will be fed, cuddled, and messes will always be cleaned. My hope is that your pet will continue to feel right at home even with their owner gone.

About: I have experience with all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to bunnies and fish. i’ve been looking after animals for friends and family for years in always the first one they think of to ask!

About: My name is Erin. I have loved animals from birth. I am a horseback riding instructor, I live on a farm with my two horses, my parents, and our dog Petey. I am a practicing natural horseman and dog trainer. I have a private in law apartment, a five acre back yard, a fenced in dog run. While watching your dog I will treat them like my own. A typical day at the farm starts at five AM when we feed and turn out the horses. Petey the puppy gets his breakfast and morning constitutional. I'll take Petey down to the barn with me while I muck the barn out and I let him loose in the fenced dog run behind the barn. After morning chores its training time for everyone! The horses get excercised, Petey does his drills, and everyone gets lunch! In the afternoon typically I"ll take Petey for a walk in the trails right down the street. Then around four PM the horses are turned in for the night and everyone gets dinner! While staying at my house, dogs will have the opportunity to go for hikes in peppercorn state park, interact with horses and other dogs (if you so choose), play fetch and run free in my fenced in dog run. I am not able to watch dogs who are not up to date on vaccinations, are not house broken, or are under eight months of age. Im working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! Im available for drop ins, dog walking (or cat ;)) and house sitting services with frequent picture status updates. I love being outside and my last dog was 120lb Im comfortable with tiny to mighty! I’ll treat your animals like mine.. after owning a variety of animals most of my life I understand that communication, sticking to your pets routine and frequent updates are vital as well as being able to respond quickly in any issues. I love walking dogs and am an expert cat scratcher

About: ive had a few different dogs growing up, i love animals. this will be something different for me but i’m looking forward to it! i’m just trying to make a little extra money. I work full-time as an infant teacher, so I have a consistent weekday schedule and plenty of free time in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends to care for pets! I’m home most evenings, and I love spending that time going for walks, playing, and keeping your pets company. Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or walks, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day. I have pet CPR and first aid and I’m insured we’ve had a couple different dogs growing up, so i will have no problem bringing them potty, putting them in their cages, walking them ect..
About: My love for animals started when I was little. I grew up helping take care of my own family dog. At the age of 18 I adopted my first dog and was solely responsible for her care. I’ve always helped out family members and neighbors with their animals. I also worked at Davis Farmland which gives me experience with many different animals. I tend to pet sit for people who have multiple animals. I take care of 4 dogs and a cat for a friend and it is my favorite job!! I also have experience cat sitting and bunny sitting! At the moment, I’m looking for work. I am hoping to make pet sitting a part time job or even full time job. It would make me so happy to work with animals every day! When caring for pets in a clients home, I make sure to have all the information needed to care for the pet(s) properly. Every animal is different but I’m confident I can always give the best care to any animal. I’m very responsible and will make sure the house stays clean and all doors stay locked.

About: ⸻ Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi! I’m Meggy — lifelong dog lover, certified belly-rub expert, and fluent in woof. I’ve grown up with pups of every size and personality, and honestly? I often prefer their company to most humans. I treat every dog like my own — whether that means walks, playtime, meds, snuggles, or just hanging out for some calm company. I’ve handled it all: first aid, meds, feeding tubes, even seizures and back injuries. Nothing surprises me, and every pup gets gentle, loving care. My dream is to someday move into a modern farmhouse with at least five dogs running around. Until then, I’ll happily look after yours and you can rest assured that I will treat them just like they’re part of my pack. 🐶💛 I work from home 3 days a week and have a pretty flexible remote schedule. My boyfriend works from home full-time 5 days a week we have a fenced in yard in a relatively quiet neighborhood along with 3 fur babies to keep your precious pup company. Or, if they prefer a quieter, more peaceful vibe, we have multiple cozy indoor rooms and nooks with childproofed gates attached to the doorframes which ensure every dog will be able to find a perfect spot for their needs
“Erinn was amazing. She was always helpful as my cat was recovering from spinal surgery and required more than just feeding. Her experience as a vet tech was invaluable. She never missed a beat and my cats both love her. I cannot recommend her enough !!!”

“Another great job by Katie! My scaredy cat is warming up to Katie more & more. I’m grateful to have found her. I don’t worry about my fur babies while I’m away, I know they’re in good hands.”

About: I like to watch it’s me or the dog every night. And my cat from hell. I’m interested in getting my dog training certificate in the nearest future. My cat brings me such joy. He is a 16 year old black cat and such a good boy! He can even go on walks with us. I work for the Worcester Public schools and have all school vacations off. I am able to come and do house calls in the evening time (4-late night) or house sit overnight on weekdays or weekends. Also during school vacations including the summer. We have an indoor house cat. He’s declawed and very friendly. We also have a fenced in area in the backyard with very high fences. There is possibility that borders could be segregated from the cat if necessary. We are in a good neighborhood for walking and very near some good trails.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, so I’m very familiar with dogs and how to care for them. I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 9, I’m very experienced with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes. I have a pup of my own, Ivy. She’s an outgoing sweet girl who is very friendly with everyone and everything, she is also crate trained and house trained, if you don’t feel comfortable with Ivy interacting with your pup I can most definitely keep them separated. I love interacting and spending time with animals, I hope I can be a trusted sitter for your dog🫶🏼 I’m currently a student at Clark University, with lots of free time. I’m back and forth from Worcester and Boston can accommodate to your request. Depending on my location I can do whatever you need for your pup. I’ll always maintain the best environment for your pet no matter where.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
