“Erika was amazing. We have 2 cats - one with some health issues - and very specific instructions for their food. It was no issue for Erika. She is very detail-oriented. We appreciated the photos and periodic updates during our 5 days from home. Both of our cats warmed up to her quickly. We'll be having Erika sit for us often and highly recommend her to everyone.”
“We have trusted Rachel to watch our pups multiple times and she continues to amaze us. Our puppies always look so comfortable in the pictures she sends us and are always worn out by the time we get home. We just got back from a 4 day trip and never had to worry. She’s the best!!”
“Jylesha is Fantastic with my animals! She loves them, walks my dog, keeps my place so nice and is very responsive communicating and sending pics and vids. My animals love her! Ty Jylesha! ❤️”
About: I have always had dogs in my life and have a true passion for animals. I have nearly two decades of experience taking care of dogs, including walking, bathing, and administering oral and topical medication. Having spent my life with dogs, I have experience with all stages of life including those facing chronic illness. I am always looking into ways to further educate myself on how to care for dogs. My current routine includes caring for my cat daily, and up to three days a week I have a consistent dog walking client during midday. If I have an additional client, I work their care into my routine. At my parents home they have a fenced in side yard and I will still occasionally give them baths or medication. In my home I routinely administer topical medication for my cat, clips his nails, and clean his litter box and water fountain. My cat also occasionally requires oral medication due to his chronic illness. My current clients either live in a home without a fenced in area, or in an apartment community so I will walk their dogs regularly (3-4 times a day) when doing a full day, or will walk them based on need this in addition to administering any necessary medication and feedings.
“Devan is everything we could’ve asked for in a sitter. Responsive, communicative, and committed both to the job and the animals. It felt like leaving them with family. Highly recommend”
“Gina was fantastic with our shy and slightly stubborn older pup. She was very patient and provided great communication on how things were going during her stay.”
“We love having Bethany watch our dog! Bethany is a patient champ with our princess, approaching our dog’s multitude of opinions with wry humor and plenty of communication! We so appreciate her!!”
About: Grew up with parents who were groomers and breeders. I went to school to major as a veterinarian due to my love animals, and even though life, I find myself forever engulfed by the love of these furry creatures. Dogs to wolves, house cats to bobcats, ferret buddies, birds, hamsters and more. There’s care for them all. I manage well🙂. I have plenty of days where I find myself very free and available. A little companionship never heard us. Sometimes I need to take a walk and there’s a room for company. I’m a little sit down with friends never hurt. As the fur parent sees fit. They would be fed, potty breaks/outside time 2-4 times a day, and given a social atmosphere of people and or play friends. Unless otherwise directed. Light grooming and bathing can also be discussed.
“Nicole was fantastic with my senior pups during her housesitting stay! Mobility issues and medications were handled with great care. Lots of cute pics were provided and my pups soaked up every minute of love and attention. Nicole has stellar communication skills and was very flexible when I had a last minute change in plans. I will definitely book her housesitting services again. I highly recommend her services!”
“Summer was fantastic. I was so comfortable leaving both my young, energetic dog and my senior dog with health issues with them. I got regular updates and pictures. Summer left the house in great condition, even tending to my orchids in a way I never could! I would 100% recommend Summer for your pet sitting needs. Summer would be my first choice for a dog & house sitter.”
“Rachel was very flexible and reliable house sitting with our dog for a long weekend. Our dog seemed happy and our house was well taken care of. Rachel sent photos and updated which is always appreciated.”
About: I'm a highly motivated and experienced individual with a strong background in leadership and a passion for helping others. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and a Master's in Organizational Leadership, and I've dedicated years to coaching, both at the collegiate and youth levels. My love for animals, particularly dogs, runs deep. I've shared my life with six wonderful dogs throughout my childhood and adulthood, including Golden Retrievers and smaller breeds like Yorkie-poos and Maltese-Yorkie mixes. This experience has given me a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I'm a very active person and enjoy spending time outdoors. As a current club coach, my evenings are typically occupied, but I have ample availability during the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I'm comfortable with all sizes and breeds and understand the importance of regular feeding, exercise, and mental stimulation. I'm confident in my ability to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your furry friend. I'm eager to learn more about your dog's individual personality and needs, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for them. I currently am a club coach so work evenings most nights. I have plenty of availability to check-in on your pets during the day and go for walks in the morning. I’m very active and enjoy taking my dog on long walks. I take my dog out every 2-4 hours for a potty break or a short walk. He can get pretty hyper so we have our occasional wrestle and he likes to play catch. Whatever your dog needs are, I am sure I can accommodate. I have done drop ins for multiple people and am very trustworthy with keys and making sure their place is locked up when I leave.
“One of our dogs got unexpectedly sick early in our vacation. Sarina went above and beyond taking care of them and any messes. When we got home it was like she wasn’t even here! 10/10 definitely recommend her. She made us feel way less stressed when dealing with a sick pup from far away”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Samantha, and I’ve been a dog lover/owner my entire life. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I genuinely love caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. If your dog enjoys having someone around, I can stay at your home during the day to keep them company, maintain their routine, provide potty breaks, walks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience and frequent potty breaks, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra attention, or medication. I’m also experienced with multiple-dog households and understand how to make sure each pup gets the care and attention they deserve. If your dog has specific feeding instructions, medications, or a unique routine, I’m happy to follow it closely to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and treated like one of my own. I’ll keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend!
About: I’ve had my own fur baby since she was 9weeks old. She will be 11 in a couple of months. People know they can rely on me to take care of their cat or dogs. I will show up to feed, take out, walk, spend time, love on them and make sure they’re all set before I leave. I’m very trustworthy and don’t mind doing overnights as well. I just love all fur babies! My husband works and I stay home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I can do weekdays anytime and over nights. I can do most any weekend unless of course I’m out of town. I can only come to your home. My fur baby doesn’t really allowed other pets around! People only in her eyes. She’s still the sweetest though!

This is our second time using Loren and we love her even more. I can’t say enough…she’s on time, follows all my directions, leaves the house very neat and clean and most importantly…my dogs are very happy and are very well cared for…especially my very emotional one…and he’s hard to win over.
We had a fantastic experience with Amanda as our housesitter for our quick overnight getaway! She had great communication throughout and I appreciated her updates and pictures of the pups. She did a good job following the pups’ routines, getting them to take their meds, and providing companionship to Kuma and extra pets to Mochi. The house was left as we had left it and our packages were brought inside. We would not hesitate to have Amanda stay with the pups next time our travel and her work schedules sync up!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Auburn is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
