“Carissa took great care of Harley while my husband and I took a quick vacation. Was so nice knowing she was in good hands and we could relax. I could tell from the pics Carissa sent that Harley loves her! 🐶 Also checked in our elusive cat. 🐈⬛ will definitely book again!”
“Isabel is fantastic with my two big dogs! They have various health concerns and lots of energy, and she made us feel so comfortable with all the great updates/photos while staying at our house for the long weekend. Not only is she a wonderful house guest, we can tell how much our dogs truly enjoy spending time with her!”
About: Hi, my name is Neriah! I’m a second-year college student at CCRI and a pet sitter and dog walker. I’ve had dogs since I was six, and I currently have one dog, Apollo, and three cats of my own. Through pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My experience includes caring for multiple pets at once, senior pets, and pets who need medication. From energetic dogs who love walks and playtime to shy cats who need a little patience, I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable with me. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, exercise, and companionship. I follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. Whether they need an active playmate, a quiet companion, or extra attention, I’ll care for them with the same patience and affection I give my own. I’m currently working full-time as a pet sitter and pet care provider, which gives me much more flexibility and availability to care for your pets! My schedule is generally very open, and I’m able to accommodate a variety of dates and times depending on my existing bookings. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I am committed to following your pet's routine and providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the care instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special requirements. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and appropriate exercise and playtime. I also keep doors and gates secure and monitor pets closely during walks and outdoor time. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life including dogs, cats, rabbit, gerbils, and more. I started volunteering when I was 12 at my local humane society, where I would sit with dogs to comfort them while they wait for their forever home. While I was in college I also started to foster, I fostered 3 cats and a dog over several months. Since I have always had pets, I have helped train puppies, and with senior animal medical care. I have also worked with special needs/trauma (ex. epileptic, male aggression, previous owners abuse, anxiety). I have house sat for my parents, extended family, and family friends. I am looking forwards to cherishing your furbabies, their new best friend awaits! I have just moved back to the states after living in Europe with my partner. We are starting a new chapter and I want to use rover as a way to make money and to help us save for our next steps. It would be my main focus, in my very flexible schedule. As such I will be available for your pet's needs anytime and anywhere. I have worked with all kinds of animals with different needs and will be able to provide whatever you and your pet(s) require. I am fun-loving and friendly, with a huge soft-spot for any animal. My approach centers around trust-building with your pet, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm willing to visit your house multiple times a day and entertain your prescious babies, walk them multiple times, stay the night if necessary. I can take them to dog parks if they like that, parks if not. Your pet will barely notice that you are absent (besides missing their wonderful parent/s)!
“Marie was an absolute joy and took amazing care of my cat, Arbie, and dog, Tycho. Not only was she willing to sit with fairly short notice but did everything right. 12/10 would recommend! 😊”
“We are beyond thrilled with the exceptional care Bri provided for our French bulldog, Theodore. From the moment we met, it was clear that Bri is passionate about animals and highly professional. During our time away, Bri went above and beyond in every aspect. She stayed in our home, keeping everything spotless and well-maintained. Her frequent and detailed communication gave us peace of mind, knowing that our beloved Theodore was in the best hands. We received regular updates and adorable photos, which made us feel connected and reassured. Bri not only met but exceeded all our expectations. She followed all care instructions meticulously and showed genuine affection and attention to Theodore. It’s evident that Bri has a special touch with pets, and we returned to a very happy and well-cared-for dog. We highly recommend Bri to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter.”
“We are so happy that we found Ashley. She’s an amazing communicator and so loving to our dog. Our girl is 84 pounds and can get a bit excited - Ashley handled her with no problems and with the exact care that we would. We will book with her again! 💙”
“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!”
“Sophie did a wonderful first time housesitting to my best friend Oakley, who is certainly a handful! she followed instructions, took care of the home and left him happy and healthy. Thank you so much Sophie for taking care of best friend. looking forward to rebooking with Sophie in the future!”
About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my house, Growing up with large dogs; I'm comfortable with them and capable of handling them, though I love the little guys too! As your dog's caretaker, I'll be sure to get your best friend the exercise and care that they need and deserve, and am excited and willing to go the extra mile if it means I get to spend a little extra time with them. I offer low rates, but that doesn't mean that, I look forward to meeting, playing with, walking, and otherwise looking after your four-legged friend soon, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. I am a stay at home dad with my 5 children, whom also love dogs. They as well have been blessed to be raised with big and small dogs. I offer all type of services, overnight, walks, check-ins. I am available all day. I have a large fenced in yard where they can run, play and burn out energy. I have a open availability and home with my pups at all time. I do not like to cage my pup so they mainly free roam the home and I set them up a place to sleep. I follow all instructions left for me if care is to be done in my pups home. When pups are in my home for the most part they free roam my home and I like to take them out for walks and runs.
“Savannah did a great job with my initially-anxious adolescent puppy, who started off barking a lot. Savannah was calm and patient with her, and my puppy warmed up to Savannah.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and walks. I’ll always do my best to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay or visit. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I am a collage student and work part time during the week. I normally get off work before 8 pm and work up to 3 days a week and have mostly online classes. I do have 2 dogs of my own and will treat every single animal as my own. I can leave my dogs at home and take care of your pet alone and take them for potty breaks during the day!
“Shannon was excellent with our two dogs. They have very different needs and she was intuitive and attentive with both of them. They got A LOT of attention and exercise. I felt confident that our pups were loved and cared for. Grateful!”
About: Hi! I’m Dechen and my family and I have had 4 dogs, all of which I’ve helped take care of. I love dogs and taking long walks, so I’m looking to find positions that allows me to connect two things I love :) I also currently live with a 4 year old black lab named Olive. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your dog! I’m currently in PA school on clinical rotations and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue! If my schedule works with what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for your time and have a wonderful day! Through past babysitting experiences, I have gained the trust of many local families as well as families in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I have worked with children since I was 16, and have proven to be a responsible, trustworthy, and caring caregiver and person. I will uphold the same care with your dogs, and look forward to spending time with them! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Christine stayed with our cats as the first sitter we haven’t known personally, and I had pre-warned her that one of our cats is pretty shy and anxious. He turned out to be even moreso than we anticipated and hid the whole weekend—she did a great job working out a way to feed him while distracting our other much more confident, VERY food motivated cat. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been caring for animals big and small for many years now. Though I love all dogs, I find myself focusing a lot on dogs that have a hard time in kennel settings. I also work really well with reactive dogs and seem to click with them more easily than others. I provide a safe space for them in my home that allows their boarding time away from family to be as stress free as possible! I do currently work part time as a dog groomer at a dog facility but I have the flexibility in my schedule to leave work during the day to come home and take the dogs out for mid day breaks. They are never left alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time and I have a doggy cam that I keep an eye on them with! I have two dogs of my own that I keep separate from any dogs boarding for safety and health purposes. Any pets that board in my home will have access to a room all to themselves. I provide crates if pets are more comfortable sleeping in one. In regards to crates and safety, I do require that they can be safely crated or gated to one room if we need to leave the house. I do a minimum of three outside breaks a day. But for the most part I typically try to follow the routine that the dogs are already used to at home.
“We were delighted with Kaya’s care for our pups! They got lots of exercise and were happy when we returned home – – always a good sign. Additionally, the house was neat and that’s a bonus too. We plan to engage Kaya in the future andI highly recommend her to take care of your pups! 🐶❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Francis was fantastic. We had her house sit for our cat and elderly dog after scrambling to find a sitter at the last minute. She was in constant contact during our weekend away and sent plenty of pics of the pets. She was a pleasure to work with and the pets loved her too!
Wonderful! Sam helped us in a last minute situation and I couldn’t recommend her more! We have two slightly rambunctious dogs and she handled them wonderfully - updating me regularly with pictures and how they were doing. We felt comfortable knowing that the dogs and house were in good hands.
Maya was amazing with Cash! They’re best buddies now. She sent daily pictures and kept me updated on her day was going. Maya took great care of the house while we were away and was thoughtful enough to make us banana bread and apple crisp for when we got home! Would definitely recommend her as your next pet/house sitter!
JL house sit for 7days while I was abroad. He took the utmost care with Angus and my home. JL sent me daily updates, pictures and video. I am so happy our paths crossed. I would highly recommend JL. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Thank you, JL, for taking great care of my fella! Until next time.
Ella did such a wonderful job caring for our two poodles Bowie and Bandit over the long weekend. The dogs got great exercise, lots of cuddles and Ella kept the house cane dogs clean. She even washed them up before we returned. I'd definitely recommend her and use her again in the future. Five stars!
Julia was an A+++ dog sitter. We don’t leave our dog too often and seem to be unable to find a dog person who loves being a dog sitter. JunieB sensed her love of dogs immediately. We came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house. I only hope that Julia will be our go to forever!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Auburn is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $114 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
