“Clover had a great time at Chelsea’s with her family! She was there for nearly two weeks and was very well taken care of, and happy! Chelsea sent pictures and regular updates, gave her her monthly flea/tick, and was patient with Clover’s puppy antics 😂”
“Lenny and Lucy lived their stay! Lenny loved the other pups to play with but even more so the little outdoor pool to cool off in! And Lucy loved playtime as well, but enjoyed some mellow time of cuddles on the couch! 💛 We loved getting updates of how their time was and some pictures while we were away! Def would book again!”
“I’m so happy we found Sergey at the last minute. My two dogs stayed with Sergey’s for six nights. They came home tired, happy, and clean. Sergey was extremely flexible with our timing when our travel was delayed. I would not hesitate to recommend Sergey as a pet sitter.”
“Simon was so nice and welcoming, and my dogs seemed very happy. I got a bunch of pictures showing me how comfortable and at home my dogs felt from the first moment. We will certainly call Simon when we are in the area again!”
“Natalie was awesome and I will definitely use her again. She was very kind to Murphy and and I felt he was in good hands. Natalie responded to my texts quickly and answered all my questions. She sent photos of him relaxing in her home. Normally, my pup has a bit of separation anxiety, but he was not at all anxious about being left or eager to go. I was glad they got a long so well. Murphy gives Natalie 5 stars!”
“Rebecca was amazing! We had so many issues with our transportation and ended up having to drop-off and pick-up and different times. She was so understanding and flexible. Our dog Pepper can be very stressed and particular when we are apart, but she had such a great time with Rebecca! Would 100% book again next time we are in Maine!”
About: I live a very active lifestyle, which has been great for being both a dog owner and a sitter! I recently lost my dog of 13 years and am not ready to find my next companion yet. In the meantime, I would love to soak up your pup's love and shower them with affection. I love spending time outdoors and staying active. I hike about 3–5 miles a day, and I have a beautiful lawn and patio area where I spend a lot of time. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I'm free to walk your dog or take advantage of the sunshine whenever it suits us. I work remotely and I am generally flexible with my schedule and availability. I can customize my day to meet the needs of the dogs in my care. I have experience with many temperaments and am happy to adapt to your dog's needs—whether that's enrichment, exercise, snuggles, or safely navigating walks around other dogs. Having had reactive dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to be patient, observant, and calm, and I'll follow your routines and cues closely so your dog feels safe and settled.
“Never having left Roo, Matzoh and Tony with anyone, we were a bit nervous. But we were sent pictures daily with updates and upon picking them up, it was obvious that they were well taken care of and very happy!”
“Katie was excellent! Professional, thoughtful, patient, and communicative. We boarded our cat with her, and she did a wonderful job acclimating him to a new space and monitoring his adjustment, and making sure his needs were met. Would love to use her for our next trip.”
“Anne was wonderful! Beautiful yard and friendly dogs that played with my two after a long car ride from PA. Lots of updates and photos, which were appreciated as new Rover users.”
“Lauren was amazing with my two pups! They got all of their needs met and were very well taken care of, lots of cuddles and good sniffs. I received lots of updates and tons of pictures which is always appreciated. Will use Lauren for my pups again in the future :)”
“Christine was a lovely host for Bode’s week of summer camp. She was quick to reply, lovely to speak with, but most importantly seemed to really care about Bode’s wellbeing and happiness. She has a huge fenced in yard that he had free reign to, and a lovely in ground pool. We will absolutely book with her again!”

“Ziggy had such a great time with Lizzy. She took him on lots of adventures and gave us tons of updates. He came home tired and happy, it was a great fit. She was so easy to communicate with too! We will definitely book with Lizzy again!”
“Hank and his mom Rachel were such a blast for our dog Bode to stay with. He had a great week of playtime, couch time, and what looked like hours of dog parkour. We will absolutely be sending Bode back.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Kristian made it very smooth and easy! She took great care of Mini and sent pictures and updates each day - which I greatly appreciated! Mini is an anxious dog, but under Kristian's care she left the stay happy as could be! Will definitely use Kristian again!”
“Ali, Damien, kids and Bruce the dog were great! Very kind and caring family that took care of our pup Chase like he was part of their family. Chase had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Ashley as a sitter. She took excellent care of our seven-year-old dog Josie over a long weekend. Ashley was great in keeping me updated daily on Josie with texts and photos taken during their hikes at nearby trails. Josie can be reactive towards other dogs and Ashley adeptly handled a couple of interactions with other dogs. Josie also warmed up to Ashley pretty quickly which is unusual for her.”
About: I have over 15 years of experience dog sitting. I am a huge animal lover, and would love to give your dog some extra attention while you are away. I grew up with dogs, and I have experience with dogs of varying shapes, sizes and personalities. I will be sure to send you photos and updates. I also have experience caring for cats and horses. Please let me know how I can help! I am available weekends and weekday mornings and evenings. I could be available during the work day on a case by case basis. I work full time in Boothbay (some days are remote). I am open to staying at your place or your dog coming to mine. I do have a dog so they would need to be dog friendly. Safety is my top priority. I always keep dogs on leash when outside, and I always ensure the inside space is safe and clean for your dog.

Chasity and her family are fantastic! I know our dog, Vessy, was well cared for the entire time. Chasity was prompt with responding to messages and sent frequent updates. Vessy was doted on the entire time! I 100% recommend Chasity and will for sure be rebooking with her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Auburn is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $83 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 260 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Auburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% 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.
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.
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 , 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 .
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 ME 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.
