About: I started out dog walking about the age of 10, I have always had a passion for animals since I was young. My career with animals then started in doggy daycare as a teen, and I then moved up to a vet receptionist and made my way to a vet tech which I have been doing for 6 years now. I love all animals greatly and I am looking for more jobs to be around them. I currently work at my vet hospital Monday - Friday until 3pm so I am looking for part time weekend jobs. Willing to work around different hours during the day on the weekends. I myself have two cats, and one dog I am experienced caring for them in home settings and Hospital settings with my career as a vet tech and very experienced with keeping them safe, fed and loved! I also have experience giving medications and feedings and leash walks.

“Tegan has walked my dog for the last couple months while I'm at work and she has been so wonderful! She is on time and communicated well. I have a high energy husky and Tegan has done such a great job with her. I couldn't recommend her more!”

About: I had the joy of a Lhasa Apso Miniature Toy Collie for four years, showing my love for both felines and canines. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I found a nurturing home with a dear friend for my dog. Now, working from home, I'm eager to bring a pet's companionship back into my life. I offer a clean, safe environment and enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up fresh air during breaks and lunchtime walks around my complex. Creating a pet-friendly atmosphere is important to me, and it would be a pleasure to share my home with a furry friend. I'm gentle and affectionate with animals, and they naturally warm to me. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet and hopefully becoming your next sitter. I'm available for boarding drop-off after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and after 9 a.m. on weekends. Pick-up time is by 5 p.m. on weekdays and by 3 p.m. on weekends, but I'm flexible if needed. I do not currently have any pets. In the near future, upon purchasing a home with acres of land and a secure yard, I plan to welcome a pet into my family.

About: I have grown up around dogs and have one of my own. I work with dogs on a daily basis and have found that I enjoy being around all dogs and finding out their quirks. What they like, what they don't like, and how to have fun with them. I also do love cats as my household had no less than 3 when I was growing up. They can be absolute sweethearts or absolute chaos, but we all love them regardless. I can accommodate what I need to. I work 2 jobs but both are based around my preference. I am able to figure out what I need to in order to proper care for pets. I truly wish for animals to stay comfortable around me so I always try to build trust before doing anything with a dog or cat I do not know. I prefer it when I can get their true personality to shine and they feel comfortable around me.

“I would use Dayna again in a heartbeat, she treats my animals like family and provides lots of pictures. She responded quickly to questions I had and really put my mind at ease while we were out of town. I can tell my fur babies had a wonderful time over the weekend, thank you so much, Dayna! We will be using you again next month!”

“Heather was wonderful with my cat. We've only lived here for 3 weeks,so she's a bit nervous about people coming in and out of the house. Heather was calm with Teaghan. I got photos and even a follow up after I got home to see if Teaghan ate her food!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies that need consistency, patience, and reinforcement of basic training and house routines. I'm also comfortable caring for senior dogs who require medications, mobility assistance, or a more relaxed schedule. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral concerns. Reliability and communication are extremely important to me. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your pet with dependable, compassionate care in a safe and loving environment. I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve rather than rushing through visits. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, taking a long walk, or simply providing companionship, I plan my day around each pet's needs. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so your pet stays comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do everything I can to maintain their schedule while you're away. In your home, I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I also make sure your home stays clean and secure, including refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and keeping litter boxes or outdoor areas tidy. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality. Some love long walks and games of fetch, while others simply want companionship and affection. I adapt my care to meet their individual needs and comfort level. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce house-training, crate routines, and basic commands that you're already working on. For senior pets, I provide a slower pace, extra patience, medication administration if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Safety is always my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water, exercise, and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
About: I have worked with active and retired Akita show dogs, as well as dogs of every breed and different temperments. I have experience in dog communication and behaviors. I have also owned six cats and two Great Danes. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. Both of my daughters are away at college, so it is time for me to do what I'm passionate about. Whether your dog likes walks, playing frisbee, playing ball, snuggling, or just needs some TLC, I'm up for all of it. I love to explore and trail walks in the woods are my favorite.
About: I am an animal lover! I have always cared for animals and grew up wanting to be a vet. I have a dog of my own! I am new to the area so I am available everyday! Mornings and afternoons! I am also available to pet sit at your home any day! I will care for the pets in my clients home by following their normal schedule and making sure I do everything the client would like me to do
About: I have worked in the pet care industry, specializing in dogs, since 2013. From daycare and boarding to training and behavior modification- from grooming to veterinary care- I have seen it all and worked closely with a wide variety of experts in these fields. For several years, I even owned and ran my own in-home dog training business before deciding to move to the veterinary side- utilizing my years of experience to now help care for the health of people’s beloved dogs- and cats- in as fear free a way as possible. I am very excited to expand to offer walks and nail trims in this format and for the new relationships I will build! I am currently working part-time so I will be looking to fit in walks between my shifts. Currently I am only looking to book walks, drop ins and nail trims. It is always my goal to treat each dog and cat as if it is my own. I focus on being a strong, calm leader for them and providing them with the respect each animal deserves.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young, starting with our family dogs as well as walking or sitting for family friends throughout the years. I tend to the individual dog’s needs to ensure a positive experience built on trust, respect and fun! I work from home and my schedule allows for flexibility. I have the availability to be free during week days. I am also an avid walker and love to go on walks to explore new places. I focus on the individual needs of that animal to meet them where they are at. I am able to understand animal body language and act accordingly.

About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!
“Andrea was incredible. Good communication, consistent and reliable. I almost got the feeling my cats were disappointed to have us home because they liked Andrea so much! Really though, I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Thank you, Andrea!! Jeff and Ernie and I all appreciate you so!”

About: I grew up with a lot of different pets. I had three cats and one dog in my adult life. They are no longer with me so I enjoy taking care of and boarding my friend’s animals when they are away. I really enjoy taking care of cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I own my own bookkeeping business and primarily work from home. I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I am looking forward to having a little company during my work day. I have a large second floor apartment and a fenced in yard. I live in the North End of Manchester so the neighborhood walks are nice and safe. I live close to Stark Park and Livingston Park for walking trails.
“Gracie is a true animal lover and it shows upon meeting her. I was nervous to try out Rover for the first time for my senior cat. Meeting Gracie calmed all my nerves - it was so clear she loves and respects all animals. She was prompt on each visit, took care of all my cat’s needs, and even brought him toys. I will surely check to see if Gracie is available anytime I need to be out of town for care of my boy.”

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!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
