“Taylor is amazing! Thank you again for our second booking. She’s everything you want in a sitter. She was perfect with updates and photos. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Thank you Taylor!”
“Miya was amazing with my pets! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with pictures and messages while I was away. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy house. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“She did a wonderful job making sure that our anxious dogs and their anxious moms were taken care of. We got a bunch of pictures, and updates throughout the stay! She was wonderful and understanding if we reached out frequently”
“Charley watched our boys overnight and we couldn’t be happier! Our boys were happy and the house was just as we left it when we got home! Would definitely book her again! Thanks Charley!”
“Dawn was incredible! We came home to two very happy, healthy, and well loved pups. I was unavailable to contact sometimes due to our trip and she was still very diligent in sending photos, videos, and updates! My larger pup has had some health scares and Dawn was very detailed in her notes and was willing to take her to the vet immediately upon a small change in behavior but waited for my input ☺️. I will definitely be reaching out to Dawn in the future for any of our needs. I’ve never felt so confident and comfortable in the care our dogs received. We got our honeymoon and our dogs got almost two weeks of spoiling! Not to mention that this was a last minute booking due to our other sitter canceling with less than a weeks notice for a 12 day trip!!”
“Joan was great with Brinkley. Brinkley has a few personality quirks, and Joan worked with him. Joan stayed in contact the whole time we were gone. We will definitely use Joan again!”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job house sitting and looking after our 3 animals while we were away for a week!! She provided daily updates and the best photos of all the pets. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve helped neighbors with pet sitting and have always loved spending time with animals. I understand how important your pets are, and I’ll give them the same care and attention I’d give my own. I'm a barista at Starbucks and would love to unwind by going on dog walks and pet sitting for neighbors anytime I'm free before or after my working hours! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized during my stay. My goal is to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for in a familiar environment you can trust.
“Extremely happy with Danielle’s service. We had a hectic time with our vacation plans, and she was very accommodating when we constantly needed to reschedule our pick up and drop off times. Took great care of our mini Dachshund!”
“Katy took great care of Leo over this past weekend. We had to modify our original request on short notice and Katy was able to accommodate us. We will definitely be using her again in the future if she is available. Thanks again for taking great care of our pup!”
About: I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. Owning a husky has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to confidently care for dogs with different energy levels. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, as I’m available full time and extremely flexible. I plan my schedule around my own pet and others to provide attentive, reliable care. I provide a calm, safe environment with attentive supervision at all times. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I have a large backyard surrounded by trees for secure, leashed walks and a very quiet neighborhood ideal for daily walks. I also have a screened sunroom for relaxing outdoor time, plus one friendly husky who can play or relax independently.
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Paige was absolutely amazing! We are so grateful that we had her take care of our two golden retrievers! She took them on walks daily and we got so many adorable photos while we were gone! I will absolutely be using Paige again for dog/house sitting!”
“Amanda was great!!! She took great care of Nova and sent me plenty of pics and updates about my baby. She also left the cutest report card about her time with Nova and how everything went. Super dependable and kind!!”
“Donald took great care of Beau and Gracie. He followed all of our instructions and made everything really easy on our end. Both pups seemed to be happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after when we got home. We really appreciated the help and would book with him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Christa house sat for me for 2 weeks straight and took great care of my two cats and dog. She took Ember on 4 walks a day and sent pictures at least every other day. She was responsive and took great care of the house. I came home and everything was in order just as I left it. She also washed my bedding and towels for me on her last day as I requested, since I did not have a spare bed and she used mine! My babies were very happy and relaxed when I came home. I will definitely be using Christa as my pet sitter again as needed!
Taylor has pet sat for me twice now and I’ve been thrilled to have her help both times. She’s very communicative and transparent, follows instructions well (context - my cat is on a strict med schedule), and gave me immense security in my animals’ care. She sent consistent updates and pictures as well, showing my pets being very affectionate with her. In addition, the second time she sat for me was an urgent situation where I had an evening that needed coverage while an originally booked sitter had to unexpectedly travel for a death in the family. Taylor was available and willing to help out how she could, helping make sure my animals were well cared for in a situation that could have had much worse outcomes. Thanks for everything Taylor! Always happy to have you back :)
Amanda was absolutely amazing! She watched my pack of 4 dogs for a long weekend and was great at sending updates (including videos and pictures). The house was tidy when we came home and she even left US a thank you card for allowing her to watch our pups! So thoughtful and caring. We have had several really bad pet sitting experiences- but Amanda was one of our best! I feel 100% confident in her abilities and you should too!
This was my first time using Rover and I feel so lucky I found a sitter as great as Taylor! She showed up early and took great care of my puppy and house while I was away. You can tell she cares about your pets like they’re her own. She also took some cute photos while I was away. I definitely would love to book with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Auburn on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,717 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Auburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Auburn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Auburn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
