“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!”
“Rayna did an incredible job with my dog, Lucy!! She asked how many updates I wanted on Lucy while I was away and I told her there was no limit, and she delivered the most fun photos and updates! Lucy clearly felt so comfortable with Rayna! I will absolutely be booking again.”
“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.”
“Grace is lovely. She spent approximately 10 days at our home house sitting for our 2 senior Yorkies. She followed their care plan and kept in touch with us daily. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks Grace!”
“Maya is truly amazing, so loving and patience with my spoiled boy Armani. She is the only pet/home sitter I will be using for the future. She will take care of your home and pet as if they are her own. I highly recommend Maya if you are looking for a reliable person!”
“From the moment Julia came for the meet-and-greet with Pickles, our one year old rescue who has some anxiety issues with strangers, she gave us a complete sense confidence. She even had a form to get all the information that she would need to know how best to take care of P. When we were away for five days, Julia obviously created a great, easy relationship with our dog and kept her on a routine that we had established (as she has been with us for fewer than three months). Julia sent regular photos and videos of her and updates on how she was doing. I cannot recommend her enough. When we arrived home, Julia had done the bedding(laundry) and she was packed up. The house was immaculate. Thank. You for her loving care. We will be repeats.”
“Mackenzi did a wonderful job with our two dogs. She was a thoughtful dog and house sitter! Everything was cleaned up and the pups were well cared for! Hope to have her back again!”
“Sarah was exceptional! She took such good care of our cat Keagan and communicated with us daily, sending pictures of them interacting. She was very responsible and left our home as clean as we left it. She paid attention to details and went above and beyond. We highly recommend Sarah and would hire her again without question.”
About: I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mix & rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies my kiddos and will care for yours as such! My days are free and can’t wait to fill them up with more joy, walks, training, runs and snuggles. Obedience, praise and love are my core. My pets are my world, I care for and treat others pets as my own. I will treat your home as mine as well! I’m responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t wait to meet!
“She was excellent! My fur babies were very well taken care of ! I appreciate the care for them so much ! When we got home they were happy ! And she was great at updating me with any issues or concerns ! Thank you again ❤️”
“He was such a huge help, and my 2.5 month old puppy, Hazy, loved him! Rich did dog sitting for around 5 days at my apartment and he was really hands-on, flexible to work around our schedules, and attentive to our pup's need. Will definitely work with him again!”
About: As a lifetime owner and 30-plus year sitter of dogs and cats, there is no pet situation that I haven't experienced. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and that their safety and happiness while you're unable to care for them are paramount. In addition to just genuinely loving animals, my career as a healthcare provider uniquely prepares me to make sure your pet is healthy, secure, and engaged at all times. My own two senior dogs are everything to me, so I'm extremely mindful of any anxiety you or your pet may have when entering into a relationship with a sitter. Should it be necessary, I am proficient at all forms of medication administration. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend! (Please note that I am unable to accept bookings from clients with incomplete profiles.) Let me know your scheduling needs and I will make every effort to accommodate them. I am extremely flexible and can always work with my clients to provide consistent and reliable care for their pets. In your home, my goal is to respect your space while still providing loving care to your pet(s). Every client is different, and as such, be assured that whatever instructions you provide will be followed to the letter.
“Bri was so responsive to our request for dog sitting, and we couldn’t be happier for the care she gave to our pup. We loved the updates we received! Highly recommended, thank you, Bri!”
“Sophie was responsive and flexible while our plans fluctuated! She was able to help us out last minute and our shy dobie took to her right away. Thanks Sophie!”
“Christine was our first ever in-house dog sitter for our two pups and we couldn't have been more pleased. She communicated with us promptly and regularly while we were away, and took great care of our ladies (and house). I would highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.”
“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!”

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!!!
Rebecca is wonderful. She helped us last minute when we needed it and took care of our two pups. One of our dogs is recovering from a surgery and Rebecca did a great job managing his meds and the physical therapy he needed daily. I would 10/10 recommend her and look forward to working with her again the in future.
Sarah was exceptional! She took such good care of our cat Keagan and communicated with us daily, sending pictures of them interacting. She was very responsible and left our home as clean as we left it. She paid attention to details and went above and beyond. We highly recommend Sarah and would hire her again without question.
Sophie was once again an amazing sitter for Pumpkin! She is very responsive and sends us pictures and updates throughout the week which we always appreciate. She seems to understand Pumpkin and his personality very well and we always come home to a well taken care of and happy dog!
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
She was amazing with my German Shepherd puppy and my 8-year-old husky. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell they were very well cared for and getting lots of attention. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Auburn
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.
