About: Working professionally with animals at a chain pet store, I oversaw operations having to do with the care of dogs of all ages. I prioritize keeping your dog healthy and happy- through walks, runs, playing with them and allowing their energy out, as well as being there for them through all the support they need. I offer part-time pet care services in your home Monday through Friday 4pm and later, overnight care when needed, and am available all hours Saturday and Sunday. I only provide care in my clients home, considering I have 2 cats of my own at home, and prioritize an environment that caters to the animals healthy and safety. They are there more than us!
“Amanda was fantastic! She eased the nerves of leaving our cats for a few nights and was super communicative and sent many updates and pictures. Would definitely Book her again!”
“Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties. She came over a day early for a meet and greet and our kitties warmed to her really quickly. She was very communicative and sent great updates. We loved having Hannah as our sitter and will definitely use her again!”
“Jessica was caring and attentive to our kitties! She was able to modify some instructions when my kitten wasn’t eating as well and was very communicative with updates. Thanks, Jessica!”
“Finding Rover was a huge help with a recent vacation but meeting Amaiya and having her take care of our old girls while we were away was a great piece of mind for us. She made her self available on short notice to meet us. She sent pics and updates each of the days she visited. Really appreciated your time and will gladly work with you again Amaiya!”
“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”
“Andrea was very nice and had excellency communication. On top of that she was able to get Tucker in last minute (the next day). For sure recommend using Andrea for your furry family.”
About: I have experiences beyond words with animals. I'm motivated, eager and willing to go above to help any needing, hurting, hungry, poor little unfortunate and fortunately furry soul. I work independently with flexible hours. I am full of energy and take pride in everything I do. Im willing, capable determined and extremely driven. My love for animals is indiscribable. Safety,exercize, grooming, feeding and consistency. I have different levels of training. I have worked with many different animals fearlessly.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life and just love animals. I currently have two cats of my own and plan on owning a dog once I’m out of an apartment. I’ve been pet sitting for about 3 years now since I’ve been out of college. I have experience with cats dogs and bunnies and the most I’ve handled at one time is two dogs, three cats, and a bunny for one family on their home. I can provide overnight care, or dog walking in the morning or evening. I do work full time during the week as a civil engineer but can be available on weekends or before or after work. I work full time during the week but am available morning/evenings and weekends to check in and play with your pets. I can do some overnights in your home if needed. I make sure your dogs are going out as much as they need to and fed when needed. I make sure your cats are fed at the times needed and they always have a clean litter box. I only care for pets in your home.
About: I have worked at 3 animal shelters and 3 zoos I can handle any critter you throw at me. I have experience with big, small, young and old. I am comfortable with administering medication and handling behavior needs. I have also worked extensively with birds. I am a new mom so I am flexible on weekdays and weekends on a part time basis. More flexible if I am allowed to bring my daughter I have worked in every environment with many different care needs. I can accommodate to any service you need regarding your pet in your home
About: I’ll take care of your pets like they’re my own and provide only the best care for your animals. I’ll play with them and tire them out for you. I loss my job recently so I take my dog to the park and train with him in my free time. I train my cat with a few tricks. Obviously lots of snuggles for my animals I follow directions to the T and will provide proof of pets. I will constantly communicate with clients about their pet. I will constantly make sure your pet(s) get their needs met and more.
About: I am a trusted dog/cat sitter for a little over 8 years for friends and family. I also have my own pup named Bella who is 10 years old. I thrive to expand my knowledge, meet more furry friends and take on more responsibility as a dog/cat sitter. I work at a financial institution (9-5), which allow me to have mornings and afternoons free. I get up early, to get the day started, let animals out or go for walks, and fresh food or water. I don't have a lot of space in my own apartment to have many animals. I do frequent many trails that I take Bella to! I have large dog park and long walking trail not far from me. Totally up to preference, it is important for your animal to be as comfortable as possible.
About: Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful—you want to know they’re safe, comfortable, and with someone who will genuinely understand their individual needs. That’s exactly the kind of care I aim to provide! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I especially enjoy working with high-energy dogs and have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with fear-based behaviors. I’m comfortable taking the time to understand their triggers, routines, and boundaries rather than expecting every dog to behave or interact the same way. I also know how important consistency is! If you’re working on things like not jumping on guests, waiting at thresholds, staying off counters, leash manners, or other household rules, I’d love to know. I’ll reinforce the routines and expectations you already have in place rather than accidentally teaching your dog that the rules change when you’re away. I have three dogs of my own—two Golden Retrievers and an Australian Shepherd—so high energy, lots of personality, and dogs who need both physical and mental stimulation are very familiar territory. Depending on your dog, that might mean a good walk, sniffing and exploring, fetch, playtime, puzzle activities, or simply some one-on-one attention. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with additional medical or emotional needs. I have experience with epileptic dogs requiring medication on a strict schedule, as well as dogs who become frightened or anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks. And I’m definitely not just a dog person! I’ve been caring for cats since I was about 10 years old and have experience with both healthy cats and cats with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and subcutaneous fluids and have cared for cats with chronic kidney disease and FeLV. Most importantly, I know how much trust you’re putting in someone when you ask them to care for your pets. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine closely, keep you updated with plenty of photos, and give them the same attention and care I’d want someone to give my own animals. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your pets are safe, happy, engaged, and in good hands. I am available for walks and drop in visits in the evenings on weekdays (generally, after 5PM), and have more flexibility on weekends to provide pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine to help minimize stress and keep them comfortable while their family is away. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions closely and take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, so I incorporate activities such as sniff walks, training reinforcement, puzzle toys, or interactive play when appropriate. For cats, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding schedules are maintained, and that they receive the level of interaction they enjoy—whether that’s play sessions, brushing, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship. I am also comfortable administering medications and caring for cats with special medical needs. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring it remains clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.
About: I love all animals, from insects to horses and everything in between. I have experience taking care of rats, cats, and dogs to name a few. Your pet's age is also no problem as I have raised kittens and helped very elderly dogs. I have experience with medical and individual needs as well. If you need someone to help get your beloved family member some exercise or company, just let me know! I work remote so I am available anytime before 9 and anytime after 6:30. Occasionally, I am onsite and those days I am unavailable in the mornings and evenings till closer to 7:30 in the evening. Every Sunday I have full availability and same for most Saturdays. Sometimes I plan a small morning hike on the weekend, but I am also happy to bring furry friends along! I have no issues following specialized care plans such as medications, special foods, and specific routines. I try to follow every animal’s pace and body language so they feel comfortable and happy in my care. I am a slower person, so I do great with older or laid back pets, but I am happy to keep up with the more energetic ones as well!
About: If you have a pup who needs a mid-day leg stretch, a backyard potty break, or a weekend energy burner, I would love to help. I am fully focused on safety, reliability, and giving your dog personalized attention. Because I limit my client roster to provide the absolute best care, I currently have openings for: • Saturdays: Full-day availability (perfect for your weekend day trips!) • Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday: Afternoon blocks My schedule will expand into steady, full-week availability later this fall, so lock in your spot now! If you have a pup who needs a mid-day leg stretch, a backyard potty break, or a weekend energy burner, I would love to help. I am fully focused on safety, reliability, and giving your dog personalized attention.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
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!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
