About: I have been caring for pets since a child. I have pets of my own! Dogs are my favorite :) (I love cats too)! I have 2 dogs, a bird, a snake, and a turtle!(I also used to have a bearded dragon). This job is extremely rewarding, and will make my day every day. I love getting to see everyone’s pets, and their personalities. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!! I do walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. Unfortunately due to my own pets at home, I can not accept pets into my house for care :( I also do cat care, and grooming I also offer nail trims/grinding. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I also can help take care of small animals and reptiles as well. I attend Southern New Hampshire University August-April. I am available weekends During the week my availability differs, message me with your needs and we can make it work! I require a meet and greet for all new clients! I will offer a same day same service greet. If I feel uncomfortable, or that me and your pet will not be a good match, I will let you know before services continue. This is extremely important for the animals safety, my safety, and even the owner. This is also a great time to show me where your pets belongings are, or to tell me any important information about your pet I should know.
About: I have worked with my own and others' pets over the years when they have had medical challenges such as taking medication, needing eye drops, etc. I'm happy to pill animals when needed and happy to work with whatever guidelines the owners provide. Whether you need just a quick check-in and feeding, or a longer visit and enrichment, I'm so happy to be there to help keep your pets happy and healthy when you're not able to! I have an open schedule and would be happy to accommodate your needs. I am available early mornings through early evenings and would be happy to stop in more than once a day if needed! I cannot take additional animals into my own home as my cats are both quite skittish. However, I would be very happy to care for animals in your home with whatever safety protocols work for you and your animals!
“Robert did a fantastic job doing check in visits with our dogs! He was very communicative and attentive, even making sure they they drank water after their walks. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been a dog walker for two years as well as pet sitting. I’ve worked with animals with disabilities, special needs, and senior care. I work per diem as a LNA so my schedule is very flexible with dog walking and pet sitting. I can accommodate your needs very easily. I have a safe home and two dogs of my own who love other animals! We also have dog parks near by, lovely trails and fields to go to.
About: My personal dog is quite the character, likes to observe, take his time, is a bit reactive, and needs vigilance with picking up ground treasures, so know I will take the same care with your pup. Currently working part time for the summer (middle school during the year🙃.) Ready for walks and drop ins as my schedule allows! I will be working at a restaurant so my schedule may vary. I live in an apartment with my 8 y.o. 70lb American Bully, where the only options are potty walks and people watching. I am used to slow, fast, off road and all types of walks!

About: Hi, I’m Bethany! 🐾 For as long as I can remember, animals have been a central part of my life. I’ve grown up around all types of pets — from energetic puppies to calm senior cats — and caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve provided loving care for countless pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy and feel called to do. I’ve worked at a pet store and dog wash, gaining hands-on experience with grooming basics and animal behavior. I’m also an experienced dog walker, comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s administering basic care, giving belly rubs, or making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. Whether you need a dependable pet sitter for drop-in visits, overnight care, or daily walks, I’m here to make sure your furry family member is happy, healthy, and well cared for. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐱❤️ I am fully available, stay at home mom. I’ll be available to take your dog out for as many walks or potty breaks as they want / need. I live in a spacious apartment downtown, not far from the Derry rail trail with my husband and Baby. My husband and I are both very much dog people. I take Dog Sitting very seriously and would love to meet your pup.

About: I’ve loved animals since that day I could say “dog” or “cat”. I’ve never lived a life without pets and couldn’t imagine a life without them. They make me so happy! I currently have 2 part time jobs, but am fully available evenings and weekends! Every weekday after 5pm or weekends at anytime! Please reach out to me with questions ! Me and my boyfriend live and have a cat together. At my parent’s home, we have one little 10 year old Shih-Tzu that loves other dogs. I cannot accommodate your pets in my home but I can watch your pets in your home!
“Caroline was wonderful! She provided me with detailed updates and pics of my babies, she communicated well, and it was nice knowing that my girls were in good hands while I was off gallivanting. I would 100% recommend her and am already planning on booking her again next time I'm away. I came home to happy and well taken care of gatos. Thank you so much, Caroline! I truly appreciate how well you took care of my babies.”
About: I am a devoted animal lover that understands the importance of keeping your furry family members safe and happy. I take care of my neighbors pets often and actually have some vet tech experience in my coursework. I want to make you feel safe leaving your pet in good hands and will keep you updated so you have updates as much or as little as you like:) I work full time but with some flexibility to work remote and fairly open evenings and weekends. I prioritize my work above social time so if you need regular pet care I’m happy to provide. I unfortunately cannot host pets in my home as I have a family member who is allergic, but if you are able to accommodate in your home I do my best to leave a space better than I found it and follow all the rules and guidelines that make you’re pet feel as comfortable in their space as possible while you are away.
About: I grew up with 5 dogs, 2 large and 3 small. I went through professional training with both large dogs. Also have had many dogs since and have been pet sitting for years! I have a flexible work schedule. I can work from home whenever necessary and my job does not require a lot of meetings for periods of time, so I would be attentive. I provide long walks as I go on runs and walks myself everyday. I can provide light training and will always follow your personal rules you have with your pets.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me
About: I have always had a passion for animals, which I have actively pursued through animal care work and volunteering. These experiences have taught me the importance of having a safe, clean, loving, and happy environment for all animals! I currently have open availability, I am available on demanding hours such as; weekends, weekdays, holidays, and long hours. I have no problem with transportation, and can show up when needed! I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs at home. I also have animal daycare experience and can easily prioritize the safety and well being of all animals!

Morgan is so kind and helpful with Loki. Just what he needs! Morgan’s always communicating and updating when necessary and that’s helpful for me, the anxious dog mom. So lucky to have Morgan and Loki just adores her! Thank you for helping us. Appreciate you. 💚
Kelsey was amazing! I went away for two weeks and she was a critical part of my care plan for the pups! She was reliable and easy to communicate with. Both Frankie and Hank were so happy when Kelsey arrived for her check ins. She kept me in the loop with updates, pictures and made sure they had everything they needed during check-ins! She even got to know their different personalities and quirks that make them special. Over all super happy that we met Kelsey! Would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Auburn is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 2,169 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Auburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Auburn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
