“Andrea was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our three dogs for three nights / four full days, and it was clear from the start how patient and loving she was with our boys. Two of our dogs are older and require frequent potty breaks and medication, and Andrea handled all their needs with so much care. She was especially loving and attentive to one of our older boys, who was having a really difficult time with us being away. Andrea stayed in close communication throughout our trip, sending regular updates, pictures, and videos. It was obvious that the dogs were comfortable, happy, and having a blast playing with her! We returned to a house that was clean and exactly as we had left it. She even washed the linens and towels and started the dishwasher before she left - an unexpected and incredibly thoughtful surprise after a long day filled with travel delays and a late arrival home. We don’t go away often, but the next time we do, I would ask Andrea to stay with our boys again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her!”
“Mikayla was fantastic with watching our two dogs. A true trooper as we have a puppy Aussie with a bundle of energy & an early morning routine. We will definitely be using Mikayla again on future sitting needs. She’s attentive, caring and sends many updates during the stay. Even went as far as walking the dogs on numerous occasions too.”
“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: 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!
“We loved Lindsay! She responded right away. She came over to meet our dogs. She was professional, respectful and treated our dogs like they were her own. She sent us pictures of them while we were gone. She made it easy for us to enjoy our weekend away knowing she was taking care of them. We highly recommend Lindsay!”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful! I have a senior dog and a quirky dog and she took care of them exactly how they needed! I was able to enjoy myself knowing they were in great hands. It was like having a trusted family member watching them.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little, growing up around them and all. I occasionally foster pups in need and also have experience in dog walking. My dog Ellie is 9 this year and she is my very best friend!! I am currently in school Tuesdays through Fridays! My family dog Ellie is my best friend, but my parents take care of her day to day with feeding and playing outside. Going for walks is my favorite thing to do in my free time, so a dog to accompany me would be awesome. I have Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays completely free! I care deeply for pets and will always do what’s best for them. Whether that is taking them for a walk, feeding them, giving them water, and squeezing in play time when they are feeling playful!!
“So happy we found Camryn when we did! I highly recommend her as your next walker/sitter. She was an absolute delight and my animals all loved her. Camryn is super compassionate and did an absolute amazing job watching my three dogs and cat while my family went away. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
“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.”
“We met April when last minute searching for an in home sitter. She immediately bonded with charly and provided such great care. She sent pics and videos and frequent updates. I will definitely book April again. Prompt, trustworthy, loves animals, wonderful pet caregiver!”
“Hannah was fantastic with Oliver! She sent adorable pics throughout the visit so I could see he was happy and well taken care of. She was so sweet with him and left my apartment spotless when she left. I'd trust her with Oliver again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Heidi as always did a great job of taking care of my dog & cat and was incredibly communicative. They are both on new meds and she took care of everything seamlessly, on top of working with me to coordinate when I was stuck on the west coast unable to get home due to a snowstorm.”
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.

“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 !”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
