“Brie has sat for my two medically needy and very old fat cats. She was an absolute life saver this last visit for us as my diabetic cat slipped into a glycemic episode and was very ill. She kept me well informed, went above and beyond in assisting us getting him to an ER vet and still Made sure to check in with our other cat on top of it all. She was so professional and calm and really helped me to stay sane through the whole ordeal. I am very happy to have had her with us then and she is my go to for my babies. Truly a life saver in every aspect.”
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for years now and have worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 4 1/2 years. My neighbors always come to me when they need someone to take after their dogs. I’ve had experience feeding, giving medication, and training I currently work full time and usually get off early so I’ll have lots of time to care for your pups! I’m free most weekends and after 3 most days I’m not looking to provide home services at my home currently because I’m currently still living with my parents. Hopefully in the future that will be a paw-sability for me
“Janice is amazing with our special needs chocolate lab. Lulu looks forward to her visits each week and we appreciate Janice’s flexibility and willingness to care for Lulu.”
“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Hazel while I was out of town. Hazel has several specific needs, like medicine, special feeding instructions, and grooming needs, and Emma handled her complexity with care. She sent daily updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind to know Hazel was being looked after during a stressful time. Emma absolutely came through for us and I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Gabriel was attentive, caring and wonderful with our pets. He was reliable and we will definitely be using him again. We loved seeing the updates. The pets loved him too! Thanks for all your help!”
About: I absolutely adore animals and have never lived a life without them. I adopted my very own sweet dog Sage at 18 (as soon as I was old enough) and she has been the light of my life. She has taught me a lot of patience and responsibility at a young age. She is definitely a wild girl but I wouldn’t trade her for the world! Since I have a dog I am pretty used to all of the craziness that comes with them like leash pulling, weird eating habits, mess, and of course slobber! I currently nanny from 9:00-5:00 Tuesday through Thursday so I am try to find something to fill that Friday-Monday gap! As I spend those days walking and caring for my own pup I figured I might as well look to see if I can help others! I am a very alert person when it comes to my dog as she is very shy and scared around certain things so I would have course be the same with anyone else’s dog! I would never want to put someone else’s baby in harms way so I am very cautious.
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I got my dog in college and have been dedicated to his care no matter what. Through moves and full time jobs, he has always been #1. He is a senior now and needs a little extra attention in regards to mobility, so I am comfortable with that. When he was younger he had BOUNDLESS energy as well and was eager to please. I’ve seen both sides and love them and all the traits in between Pet care is a 24/7 deal. They give us unconditional love so we should always be dedicating ourselves to the same. Daily walks, exercise and for sniffing are both beneficial and also just someone to sit by and patrol the neighborhood I care for pets how their owners would because that’s what will make the dog the most comfortable with a new person in their environment. I will always follow the clients routines and expectations

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,295 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Auburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Auburn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 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.
