“Elly has been absolutely wonderful with my pup Mumby! He is always in such a good mood when I get back after she spends time with him. Elly has been reliable, great at communication prior to and during the pet sitting. She always sends me the cutest pics! Elly is my go-to if I need someone to watch Mumby!”

About: I have lived my whole life having a dog or a cat. I have also done some pet sitting for friends and family while they are away. I work from 8:30am-5pm Monday-Friday but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I work in North Andover, MA the rest of the week so I am only able to stop by before or after work on those days. Should your pet require me to be around during the day, I have the flexibility to work from home any day of the week. My weekends usually consist of being out and about so I would gladly fit your pet in my schedule. At my apartment, I am not able to have dogs but I am allowed to have cats so if you need a dog sitter, I would not be able to house your dog, but I could potentially house your car. I do not have any pets of my own.
“We are grateful for the excellent job Olivia did taking care of our 10 month old lab. There was a clear bond between them at the end of the stay and the house looked great. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Veronica was fantastic! The girls really loved her and she kept us updated with pictures. It was a great comfort to know the girls were in such good hands. We and the girls look forward to you babysitting in the future.”

About: My house is basically a zoo — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 😂 I’m a pet mom to a pittie, a husky, a chorkie and two elderly felines so I have plenty of experience with big dogs, little dogs, crazy energy, stubborn personalities, and cats who believe they own the house. I genuinely LOVE animals and will treat yours like one of my own. Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime, nonstop cuddles, or would prefer to judge me from across the room for three days before becoming my best friend — I’m here for it. Expect lots of love, attention, and photo updates while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I work as a server/ bartender and typically my younger sister and I will tag team pet sitting and drop ins to ensure someone is always present to care for your companions! I do not have a fenced in yard but plenty of space inside and out (leashed) and access to multiple parks, walking spots and hiking areas.
“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: We've always had a strong love for dogs! Growing up in a household with dogs, sitting for friends/families dogs, and now having two dogs of our own, we feel confident that your pup will be well taken care of! Unfortunately, both of our dogs have a chronic medical condition requiring very strict food and medication administration. Therefore, we are extremely mindful of dogs who may have special needs, diet restrictions, allergies, medication administration, separation anxiety, etc. We utilize a positive reinforcement approach to training/caring for our dogs and other dogs! Working from home provides us the flexibility to give your pup the love and attention they need! They will never be left alone when boarding with us regardless if it is a weekday/weekend. We understand being away from home can be stressful and want to be there every step of the way! We can accommodate 1 dog per day/night and have a large fenced in backyard for plenty of space for your pups to run around! The fence is 6ft+ and very secure. We also have two very friendly dogs who love nothing more than to play and cuddle on the couch! We only allow dogs from the same home at one time so you can be rest assured your dog will get the attention, love, and safety they need. We will treat your pup like they are our own and understand the anxiety of being away from your furry friend!
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.
“Brittany was great ! She promptly responded to my last minute request for a dog sitter - I was so happy to hear she had last minute availability! She took the time to stop by my house to meet me and my dog Heiki before I left :) I was across the country for 4 nights, comforted by the fact that she was the one taking care of heiki. She was thoughtful in sending me plenty of pictures updates of them on walks, chillin on the couch, and my favorite - Heiki wiped out, sleeping on the couch as he does after a day full day of adventure !! I hope that when I am in need of a dog sitter again, Brittany has availability because Heiki and I would love to have her dog sit again :) Thanks Brittany !”

About: I'm a tech, experienced in senior care. Giving fluids and meds. I can handle any ages. I'm active so dogs love being out with me! I have Fri through Sun off. I also start my job later so doing over nights are not a problem for me to do too. If in clients home. I will follow their routine. If with me they will be treated like my own and go on adventures to places.
“Jessica took wonderful care of our 11yr old pup who is going blind & almost completely deaf! She followed our instructions, kept him happy, took him on walks, gave him medicine, cuddled with him, basically the works! She sent pictures & updates about 3x a day, which made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks Jessica!!”
“Indigo stayed for a few nights to watch my dog and cat giving them lots of cuddles walks and keeping me apprised of how everyone was doing with frequent updates and photos. Indigo left the house spotless and would be welcome back anytime.”

“Sarah is absolutely wonderful!!! She is incredibly responsive to text messages and took such good care of our Sadie for 3 nights. This was the 1st time we left our 7 month old golden with anyone and of course, wanted everything to go smoothly. She sent me photos and updates and I didn’t have to worry at all. I would absolutely hire Sarah again without any hesitation!! I know you’ll love her!”

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’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have hands-on experience caring for them through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic bathing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to understand each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and relaxed with me. I’m lucky enough to do pet care full-time, so your dog or cat will be my main priority all day long. Since I don't have a typical 9-5, I can basically be a 'stay-at-home pet parent' for your furry family member. My day usually starts early with a long walk and breakfast, followed by plenty of playtime and snuggles throughout the afternoon. I’m rarely away from the house for more than a quick errand, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I really pride myself on keeping their routine exactly like it is when you’re home. I specialize in caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure. I’m extremely respectful of your space and follow all house rules and safety protocols to the letter. Because I don’t have a fenced yard at my own place, I prefer to focus my energy on yours—ensuring doors are always locked and pets are never left unsupervised in unsecured areas. I prioritize high-quality one-on-one time, follow strict feeding and medication schedules, and love sending daily photo updates so you can see how much fun we’re having!

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 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.
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.

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.
