“Erika was fantastic! She recently watched my German Shepherd & Belgian Malinois for a week while we were out of town. She contacted me with pictures & text updates 2x daily...& answered any text messages I sent, super quickly. My 2 dogs are my children so watching Erika with them the 1st time we met I knew she would be perfect for sitting in our home. Erika is a responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. She did a wonderful job caring for my dogs, very dependable & attentive. I came home to two happy pups!! I will definitely be booking Erika again”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She sent updates with adorable photos. She was on time and very flexible with our pets needs/behaviors. We will definitely be reaching out to her for services requests again.”
“We had a great experience with Katherine and our kitties enjoyed her company! Katherine was super responsive, reliable, flexible, and always on time. We look forward to having her back!!”
“Tammy is the best, first time using rover, and on short notice, she was incredible with my dog. She sent updates, pictures and videos. Most importantly my pup had a blast with her and being the short notice of my travel, really speaks to how Tammy is able to connect with dogs.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! And will be utilizing her service again !!!!”
About: I have had cats since 2000. My first two cats, Monster and Marcea, lived to be 23 and 18 years old respectively. I have experience taking care of senior cats, cats who need medicine, and special needs cats. My cat, Millie, lost one of her eyes due to an iris melanoma. I am a recently retired teacher (27 years of experience) and have an open and flexible schedule. I am available during weekdays, weekends, and with enough notice, holidays. I live in an apartment with my two cats, Millie and Maverick. They are both rescue kitties who are strictly indoor kitties. They get regular vet visits, and in recent years, extra vet visits for my special needs cat, Millie.
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.
“Whitney was absolutely fantastic, and we could not have asked for a better house sitter for Beau and Gracie. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. While we were away, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Beau and Gracie were clearly comfortable and happy with her, and it was obvious she took the time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks. Our home was also left in great shape, which we really appreciated. It is not easy to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and Whitney exceeded expectations on all fronts. We would not hesitate to book her again (and are actually already booked again) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”
About: I have taken care of many different dogs since I was 13 years old while also having at least 2 dogs of my own most of my life. I currently have a 5 year old lab mix while also having a 13 year old and 4 month old lab mix’s living with me. This means I’m very experienced with puppies (including frequent potty breaks) and senior dogs who may have medications or stress/anxiety. I’m currently a teacher and will be out for the summer from end of May until the middle of August. This means that I will have lots of time to care and play with your pups or hang out with your cats! I offer dog walking, house sitting, and drop in visits. While I don’t offer sitting at my home, I understand the importance of keeping your dog safe whether that is a fenced in yard or walks daily for potty breaks. I can easily crate your dog if needed. If your pups have stress or anxiety, I know how to deal with it because of my own pups.
“I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Charity..my Onyx loves her & she really took care of things when my place got flooded while I was overseas.. she made sure my Onyx was ok during the whole flooding chaos. I would love to use Charity in any future sittings I have & highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect House/Dog sitter! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Charity.. God bless you always. 🙏🏾✊🏾🤎”
“Dana was amazing and attentive to our two dogs! She gave them the care and attention they needed and we felt great knowing they were in safe hands. Will definitely book with her again!”

I can’t recommend Loren highly enough! She was punctual, professional, and took incredible care of our dogs and our home. She kept our home neat and clean, followed all instructions and routines perfectly, and was so warm and loving. Loren kept us updated constantly with detailed messages and fantastic photos, which made being away so much easier. Loren is truly fantastic—we will definitely be booking her again!
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!
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 :)
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 $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,701 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.

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.
