“Alice was a great dog/cat/house sitter. She always kept me updated. She let me know each time she was at the house and when she left. She kept the house very clean, she vacuumed and she even washed a throw pillow cover the dogs got dirty! She helped to maintain our house plants and garden. She truly went above and beyond in taking care of my fur babies and house while we were away!”
“tl;dr: Julia is the GREATEST. She was super communicative and my cat loved her + very much appreciated the care he needed post-dental procedure! Our sweet kitty, Leo, had a dental issue that meant that he had to get some teeth extracted and I got pulled on a work trip the day of the procedure so we needed someone to hang out with our little guy for a couple days. Julia swooped in and hung out with Leo while he was recovering. She clearly is experienced with giving meds to cats and reading kitty behavior. Would 100000% work with Julia again.”
“Raina was AMAZING! 🤩 She cared so well for our 2 dogs. One small, one large. Also our home she took great care of! We will absolutely have her back! We would recommend her to everyone! 9 days she stayed & we did not have one issue or worry! She followed every rule we had & went above and beyond! Love her!”
“Grace was wonderful with my dog and my house while we were away for a few days. She was attentive to pet and house needs, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Maya is the best! She did a great job taking care of our anxious pup and left our house clean and tidy. We loved the updates while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
“Rayna was an outstanding house sitter, and I recommend her without hesitation. She took wonderful care of our dog and cats, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after while we were away. She kept the house spotless, was incredibly responsive throughout our trip, and sent frequent updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Rayna was also friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a perfectly maintained house. We would absolutely book Rayna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy house sitter.”
“Bri is an incredible dog sitter who goes above and beyond to provide personalized care for her clients. Our Frenchie adores her and is always happy and well cared for when we return home. We’ll definitely continue working with Bri in the future!”
About: I was a pet sitter when I lived in Portland, Maine, where I had regular clients, including a family with show dogs. This family had dogs, goats and cats and I watched them regularly, staying at their house. I grew up with family dogs. I now have cats and love them so much. I am currently working part time so have a lot of flexibility to tend to the needs of your beloved cats and dogs. Depending on my work schedule, I would visit morning or afternoon. I will make sure to take care of your pets and clean up any messes they make, so you'll come home to a house as clean and organized as you left it.
“Michaela did a wonderful job of dog sitting our puppy for two nights! She administered his oral medications, took him to do activities and kept him regulated during fireworks in the area. She also checked in often and loved our puppy like he was her own. I would highly recommend Michaela for dog sitting/walking if you’re looking for a responsible and experienced person to care for your pet.”
“Even before this first stay, Jean spent a great deal of time meeting Zu Zu and her parents, which we greatly appreciated! This weekend was a perfect opportunity for Jean to get to know Zu Zu's routine, likes/dislikes, etc. Throughout the weekend, we received pics and video clips, which provided us with reassurance that Zu Zu was being well cared for. Jean asked questions, offered feedback and even assisted us with getting both pet parents on Rover, so both of us were able to access pics/videos. We already have another stay booked!”
“Christine does a wonderful job housesitting for us. We have had her look after our dog, Duke, and our home while we are away several times now and always come back to a happy dog and a clean house. We get frequent updates with pictures and video. Duke plays, goes for walks, and has a great time so we have plenty peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
About: With my wife, I have raised our laboratory retriever, Frankie, from 8-weeks to present (2+ years). I have emphasized basic obedience in her upbringing initially using exclusively positive reinforcement techniques and then integrating selective use of aversives (prong collar and e collar) as she has grown. She is a loving, sociable and well trained dog. Thing experience has made me a well trained dog sitter and a responsible pet owner ready to help you with your pooch! Currently, I am seeking opportunities here in Rhode Island so I am generally available, for now! I generally try and keep Sundays free, although I have a morning commitment until 2pm. Other than that I am available. With kindness, compassion, and as if it was all my own! Communication is key, so I hope to be prompt and clear in our coordination for the care of your precious pup!
About: I have lived with, raised, and cared for multiple dogs at once for my entire life. I have grown up with retrievers, shibas, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and all manner of rescues. As a dog sitter, I have walked, played with, and done multi-day overnights with all kinds of canines, from timid greyhounds to rambunctious collies. I lead an active lifestyle and take my shiba for at least three 2-mile walks each day, plus weekend hikes and trips to the dog park. I am a freelance writer, so I have a very flexible schedule. The highlight of my day is walking my dog and, ideally, meeting new dogs along the way. I feel like Rover is the perfect way to spend time with dogs and help their time-pressed owners. I will follow any and all instructions left by the owners. I always keep dogs leashed, prevent them from eating foreign objects, and otherwise prioritize their safety at all times.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Auburn is $60

Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Macie! She was caring, dependable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Macie was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention. It’s such a comfort knowing we have someone we can trust. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Sarah—we truly appreciate everything you did for Macie!
Carse is AMAZING!! I received daily updates with multiple pictures of my girls. She was wonderful with them, even my spicy girl who is disgruntled when I'm not home. The entire time I was gone, I felt 100% confident that my girls and home were in good hands. I will definitely be booking Carse again in the future :)
Sophie did a fantastic job dog and house sitting for about a week. One of my dogs is very cautious and Sophie was extremely patient in earning her trust, especially during a few big thunderstorms and fireworks on consecutive nights. We came home to happy dogs and the house in great condition. I received daily text updates and thoughtful questions to make sure everything was on track for our pack. Will definitely hire again!
JL gave Bug so much love and attention while he was watching her! He's very responsive and sent us lovely updates and photos to let us know how she was doing. She was definitely getting spoiled, and I know she'll be happy to have JL watch her again in the futue.
Pleasant, professional, and kept a watchful eye on our little girl! I would highly recommend! We are definitely glad we went with Jonathan! Wonderful experience especially for such short notice! Put our minds at ease and Bonnie was catered to like the princess she is! Thank you so much Jonathan!!
Molly is an outstanding dog and house sitter! She made herself available with short notice on our end and was very attentive to our Chocolate Lab Hope. Molly walked her confidently (Hopey can be leash reactive), and followed all of our care routines. As she is a Vet Tech, she even noticed Hopey’s ear needed cleaning and did it for us! The house was immaculate when we returned a few days later and Hopey can’t wait for Molly to cuddle, play and hang out with her again! Thank you, Molly!!!
Five-star service! Joselyn did a fantastic job house sitting and looking after Chance. Professional, communicative, and great with dogs. Chance clearly enjoyed his time with her, and the house looked great when we got back. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and reliable, look no further.
Courtney is everything we want in a pet sitter—reliable, considerate, intuitive, and communicative—and our pup truly enjoyed her company while we were away. We not only came back to a happy dog, but also a clean house that was better than we left it. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup and home, and putting our minds at ease while we were away.
Raina was AMAZING! 🤩 She cared so well for our 2 dogs. One small, one large. Also our home she took great care of! We will absolutely have her back! We would recommend her to everyone! 9 days she stayed & we did not have one issue or worry! She followed every rule we had & went above and beyond! Love her!
Tiffany was exceptional in caring for our household and two dogs while we were away. She confidently managed the care of two 65 lb dogs including daily walks and feeding. She was able to follow instructions for care of our two large fish tanks. She foresaw issues and offered suggestions for resolving them. She kept in constant contact and sent photos. We were very happy with her services and will definitely work with her again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Auburn on Rover is $77.7 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 1,802 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.

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.
