“Andrea was able to watch our dogs very last minute before Labor Day. Very seamless. Great communication and dogs enjoyed her around. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Tiffany was great! Our pets had never stayed with anyone except family and she agreed to do a meet and greet with us first to ease our minds. She took everything we said seriously and didn’t make us feel like crazy pet parents! Came back to very happy animals. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Tony took such good care of our baby! He sent photos and updates. He was super communicative about their walks, feeding times, and made us feel like Reba was fully taken good care of! Thanks Tony!”
“Cassandra took such great care of our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures and updates daily and she left our house even cleaner than it was before we left ! Would definitely recommend”
“Left last minute for a sea cruise, and Monica was available and ready to help watch Champ, so truly grateful for her dedication. Monica is a good sitter and loves being around animals very much. Very good with small senior dogs which was exactly what I was looking for! Got every other day check-ins with Champ with photos when the boat was island docked. Timing and coordination went well with pick ups and drops offs too. Champ came home, happy, healthy and refreshed! Monica is a very sweet, hard working sitter, Super chill, kind, grateful and cares with her whole heart. Definitely recommend and would use her services again. Thanks for watching My old boy, Champ!”
“Elly was wonderful to work with! Our pup was well cared for and our house left in excellent condition when we returned home. We are grateful for Elly’s care and would be glad to have her watch our pup again in the future”
“Keirsten was great with my dog Odin. He can be reactive on leash and so we are cautious when having new sitters. Keirsten followed our instructions closely and made sure we were comfortable which was so appreciated!”
“Melissa was so friendly and amazing at keeping our minds at ease while being away from our fur babies!! She goes above and beyond to make everything comfortable for them and tries to give them the best experience she can while with them. Would definitely book again in the future!!!”
About: My own 3 legged border collie keeps me on my toes. I've pet sat for friends and family over the years and im excited to expand to help other people! Im a work from home artist so I make my own schedule. Im available to help the 9-5ers for their peace if mind. Last minute bookings are ok too! Im extremely clean and punctual. I respect rules and schedules. Your pets safety and happiness is as important as my own pets. Im happy to take something off of your plate to make your day just s bit easier.
“Olivia did great with my pups! She sent updates and pictures while we were away to let us know how they were doing! Both of our pups are older and Olivia was also able to give them the medications they needed.”
“Kristin is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our dog, Bruce, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable—always on time, communicative, and proactive. Kristin sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruce wasn’t just being looked after; he was being loved. When we returned home, Bruce was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kristin’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s our go-to from now on!”
“I highly recommend April! We booked with her for 3 nights of house sitting in our home and our pup had a blast!! April sent regular photos, videos and updates, and our girl got lots of walks, playtime and snuggles. We were so glad to have her and can’t wait to work with her again the next time we go away!”
“We recently had Erin stay at our house with our cat while we were out of town. She gave frequent updates and photos. We came home to a happy cat and immaculate home. Would definitely book Erin again!”
“We were on vacation for a week and we have never left our 2 dogs with anyone but family. However, this time we could not, so we tried Rover and met Christine. I knew from our meet and greet that our girls were in good hand. The girls immediately took to Christine and so did we. Christine took care of our girls so well and sent us updates. We would definitely have her back anytime to take care of our girls. Thank you Christine! Our vacation was so much better knowing our girls were in safe hands.”
About: I treat animals as a parent would with a child. It's all about knowing that every creature has a personality of their own and providing the appropriate enforcement for positive behavior and training. I work full-time, yet I make time for evening walks with my dog (if the temperature is bearable). On the weekends, I take her for 1-2 walks within the two days. Late Spring to mid Fall is the best time for outdoor fun. I have another older dog that is crate trained if they need to be caged in because of visitors. If a dog is trained well enough to not run off, I do have a wide open backyard they can run around in.
About: Have years of experience, taking care of puppies to senior dogs. Have the knowledge and ability to administer medication as needed. Currently volunteering at a senior hospice for dogs so I am familiar with the care seniors need as well. I currently work full-time so I am available late afternoons, early evenings, and most weekends. I am also free for overnights if there is advance notice. I will care for your pets in your home as I am instructed too. If they need to be crated, I can do that. I can walk them as needed or instructed and play with them as well.
About: I’ve been around all kinds of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I work better with medium sized dogs due to my own physical size, and I am really great with pregnant cats!! I’m currently in school from 7-12, so i’m extremely flexible throughout the afternoon and have lots of spare time to spend caring for your pets! I try not to crate dogs, I love going on walks and it’s always amazing to have a buddy with me, and I’m always up to play! But I would also love to just cuddle with them! I would feed them on a schedule (just give me the times), and take them on a walk about 30 minutes to an hour later for potty time.
“Lindsay is amazing! She watched my two rescue dogs, Penny & Dozer, over the weekend for the first time. Lindsay spent time with me and them before pet sitting since Penny is afraid of new people. My pups had never been pet sat by anyone before and I was so anxious about it. But Lindsay was so understanding and patient with me and them. My pups were so well cared for and she gave me updates during the weekend with pics which really put me at ease. Lindsay watched them at our house and she is so neat and clean that you would have never known she had been there. I already have booked her again and would recommend Lindsay to everyone I know. She truly cares about your pets and knows that they are family. Plus, she understands how nervous us pet mamma’s can be when leaving them with someone new for the first time.”
About: We have been taking care of animals our entire lives. Currently have two dogs and a cat. They eat like kings, have the best toys and go on crazy adventures. It's rare to find us outside without the dogs doing some type of activity. Animals are the best and they deserve the best care available. We can provide that! We've been on Rover for a long time and have had nothing but great experiences. Active people with healthy active lifestyle. Your pets are in great hands. The home is very pet friendly. Whether it be food, toys, pet furniture or room to run outside its all there. Very close to lakes and trails as well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Auburn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Auburn on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,376 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
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.
