“Tiffany did a great job caring for two cats, one of which needs oral medication every 12 hrs. She did a great job getting him to take the meds. Tiffany also was very engaging with the cats. We will definitely use her again”
“My wife and I planned our first trip abroad and we wanted to make sure we had a great dog sitter who we could trust and was reliable. Danielle absolutely blew us away. She was so great to our dog, and made sure to send lots of pictures and updates along the way. When we had a major snow storm in our area, she took our dog Dewey back to her home to make sure he was safe. We couldn't be any happier with her, and would book her first before any other dog sitter.”
“Thank you a ton. The request was relatively last minute and adjusted a few times but Ashley accommodated easily. The animals were well cared for and happy and I was able to attend my son’s wedding.”
“Grayce was wonderful with our two Goldens. She was punctual and super responsive to messages during our trip. She also took multiple pictures of the pups and left a detailed report after each visit. We definitely recommend you book with Grayce if you need a sitter!”
“Alicia took wonderful care of my cats - she was very thoughtful and kind with them and I could tell they were loving the attention and playtime from the photos she sent. 10/10 would rebook and recommend.”
About: I’ve grown up with boxers since I was ten, I love dogs and just pets in general. I am young and energetic so no dog is too much for me! I’m working part-time currently so I am free many weekdays and weekends, as my schedule changes so will my availability, but if there are any changes I’ll let you know ahead of time to work around it. I grew up with pets so I know how much energy they can have! I will bring them out for daily walks, and make sure they come back satisfied.
“Chelsea was wonderful!! I booked her for 4 day Holiday weekend. She visited us a week before our trip and met my dog and went over everything, I felt comfortable with her right away. She came twice a day and sent photos of the visits. Communication was great! Will use her again!!!”
“Gray is always responsive and helped us out on short notice for a drop in visit. Wally feels very comfortable with them and they give attention and lots of pets to Wally to make him feel at ease.”
“Hana was terrific! The dogs loved her, and she loved them. She was on time every day, fed them according to our instructions, and hung out with them and played with them, which was extra. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I am a huge animal lover. I have raised six chickens and loved them like family. At the Pumpkin Wall Farm in Derry, I volunteer with rescued barn animals. I am more than welcome to keep your cat, teacup dog, or small animal company while you are away. Your little ones will be fed, played with, and cuddled. While I don’t specialize in grooming or medical administration yet, I am excited to learn and follow any procedures your pet requires. My schedule is astonishingly flexible. If you need someone at the last minute, I am here for a quick drop-in. I am available Monday through Friday. Note: My availability varies around Sundays and major holidays. Your cuddle-buddies will always be kept in a clean, safe, and enriching environment with me. Litter boxes and food stations will be kept pristine throughout the day. Places where your pet can easily get lost will be checked such as: cabinets, closets, tight spaces and wires. Pets are leashed and supervised on our fun outdoor trips.
“Olivia was extremely attentive to all 3 of my pets needs and gave all 3 of them love and play as well as the care they required. I would highly recommend her services and will be using her again going forward”
“Allison did a wonderful job! I am a pet sitter myself, and my bar is very high 🧐, and my Sheltie is very selective with people, but she trusted Allison enough to let her connect on the second visit. Allison provided detailed updates throughout her visits, giving me peace of mind. My cat adored her too!”
About: I have grooming experience! Animal care, boarding, check ins and more! I’ve watched family’s pets over the years and absolutely love doing it!! Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! Currently I’m home making money from online shops and things I sell so I have so much free time on my hands to care for your babies! I have so much love to give to your babies, walks daily, play time and cuddles of course!! Photos and videos will be sent so you know your fur babies are in good hands!!
“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 :)”
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.
“She was awesome being able to help me out with a couple days notice. She was able to follow my instructions of feeding my cats loving on them and ironically, most importantly, keeping my plant/flowers alive while I was on vacation by watering them. Thank you so much!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Auburn is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,236 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Auburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
