“Zach was great! He attended to every detail that we discussed. Our two cats were very happy, I could tell by all of the pictures that he sent. One of our cats is very shy and I told him that he may not see her. I was wrong. He sent us two pictures of her poking her head out and the third picture was her enjoying some pets and scratches. Our other cat had a great time playing and also getting pets and scratches. I’m a happy kitty mom! We will definitely book with Zach again😊”
“Beth is the BOMB DIggity Doggie Caretaker! If you need someone to LOVE your baby & give them their best… you need to look NO further! Beth will treat them super special while you are away & share precious photo moments with you during her visits! I was so blessed to see my Solly enjoying his walks to his favorite spots each day! I left him some bacon as well as with her attention to my Solly while I was away! She took Solly for his daily walks & even gave him some added”
“Lauren has now watched our kitties for the third time, and each time we are so pleased and relieved each time she visits. The short narrative of her visit, along with pictures, let us know KC and Phoenix are in great hands! With each visit, and now multiple bookings, we can see KC is extremely comfortable with Lauren. Unfortunately Phoenix just loves to hide...but they too will one day be friends. We highly recommend Lauren for anyone who needs loving care of their pets.”
“On a platform that often focused on dog-focused care, it’s rare to come across a pet sitter who will take the time to get to know and care for your cats. I trust my cats are in good hands when Jessica visits them, and receive excellent photos and descriptions of their time together. I’m very grateful for her attentive care and highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since Middle School! In addition to having many family pets over the years, I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of animals and have had many regulars. I treat each pet as if it’s my own and I take pet care very seriously since I also have my own and understand the importance of the care provided. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I have worked with many rescues, large breeds, and many anxiety-ridden dogs. I have administered meds and dealt with heartworm with my rescue. I have had experience w/many special needs & seniors as well. I am currently working full time. This schedule is Tuesday-Friday. Weekday evenings after 5pm are available and Sat, Sun, and Monday are all flexible time-wise I currently have my own dogs so I would not bring animals here. I will treat each client’s home as they prefer and I’m very adept at adapting to different routines and environments.
About: I have experience walking dogs, caring for cats, and boarding during summer season. I have a love for animals and their care, and would look forward to taking care of your animals! I would be available on Monday through Friday in morning or afternoon to walk, check in, and care for pets. I am looking to make money while on the job search. I care for animals and others homes with great respect and understand the responsibility that is entrusted to me to care for the needs of others.
About: I have had dogs, kitties, bunnies & hamsters my entire life. I have a big goofy lab of my own who is my world so I understand the hesitance of entrusting strangers to take care of your furry family members. I take pride in treating other people’s pets as I would my own, while also respecting boundaries & rules put in place by you as their owners. I am currently only available for drop ins & walks and would love to help take care of your beloved pets 💛 I am currently transitioning out of active duty military and hoping to use rover as part time work. My schedule is very open & flexible to meet your needs. I can crate your dog, walk your dog, play or provide enrichment time, feeding or administering medications as needed. Happy to help enforce minimal training during a pop-in to maintain consistency.
About: Long time dog/cat owner that has years of experience working with Rover and Wag to deliver quality, reliable, pet care. I treat every animal as if it is my own. I’m currently available the majority of the time both during the week and weekends currently to provide flexible and convenient care for your pets. I ensure your dog is safe and secure before going out and make sure to keep an eye out for any hazardous conditions. I treat each pet like they are my own.
“I asked Scott and Hilary if they would mind coming over for a meet and greet. They were happy to. The dogs loved them immediately and we cannot wait to use them in the future when us parents have to be away”
“Florian is an amazing caretaker! I was a little worried because my pets have a specific routine and need time to build trust, but Florian fit right in. He took care of my family (one dog and two cats) and was extremely detail-oriented. He made sure he knew where everything was, from pet supplies to cleaning supplies, so I could be as hands-off as possible. My dog got plenty of playtime, and my cats got plenty of petting and attention. His communication and updates were on point throughout. I would definitely book with Florian again!”
“Alyssa was amazing, cannot recommend her enough! She took extremely thoughtful notes during our meet and greet, always kept us informed with detailed messages and report cards, respected all our rules/instructions, and was quick to respond. Our dog absolutely loved her! Will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals starting from my first day as an infant. I grew up with multiple cats in the home with learned, gentle-respect and patience that cats require. I also grew up with a shetland sheepdog, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. As an adult I have significant experience with caring for dogs and cats alike both in my home and in other homes. My own animals, two dogs, a cat, and a 70 gallon fish tank, remind me daily of the joys and importance of animals. I have an anxious 74 pound hound and a nervous 30 pound beagle of my own, so I understand the needs of special breeds and animals coming from previously difficult situations. I have the patience needed to address nervous dogs and have experience with clicker training and am educated in techniques for dog training. I do not breed discriminate. I have fostered kittens and adult cats and have experience with syringe feeding and medicine administration. I also have my own rascally kitten, Hazel, who keeps me entertained. In my experience with fish and aquariums I can clean, feed, and help with tank design or water cycling conditions. Note: I am selective about in home care due to a cat being in the home - this is for the safety of my own animals. Thanks. Your pets will be the utmost priority and I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I can assure timely feedings, walks, and potty breaks so your pet is comfortable and you are assured! I will treat them as my own. Our daily routine is FULL of pet fun and enjoyment. First thing in the morning is a walk and potty breaks, followed by feeding, the rest of the day would follow similarly with 4/5 mini walks and dinner at ideal time. Potty before bed time and no pet will be left alone for more than 3 hours and if preferred never at all.
About: Hello! I have always had dogs growing up and I always had to take care of them. You know, doggy walks, taking the dogs for a potty break and feeding them. That didnt stop and continued throughout college since I helped my wife to take care of her foster doggies! We will take turns between weeks. We had an incredible experience since these dogs were able to get adopted. We recently lost our dog, Tucker at 12 years old and we’re not ready for another dog yet, but have a great home with a great big fenced in backyard, plus close to baseball fields from an elementary school and a great neighborhood for walks.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from a young age. I have experience with pitbulls, chihuahuas, sharpei's, st. bernard's, weiner dogs, cane corso's, bulldogs, and golden retrievers. Growing up i had 4 dogs and fostered many more! I'm a 19 year old college student taking summer classes online and looking for some part time work. I do not have any other job and all my classes are online so i basically have availability whenever! Whatever routine you have set for your pet works perfectly fine for me! I was a nanny for a few years so i can keep a good eye on your pet if need be haha
About: I have owned a variety of dogs throughout my entire life. In the past, I have owned and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes, ranging from Dalmatians down to a 8 pound Frenchie. With all my past experience, I am excited to care for your pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I currently care for my mini best friend, aka my cat Oreo, and have been caring for her for the past 8 years.

In the past, I have owned many dogs and always make sure to put their needs first. Depending on what my dog needs, I can spend the day playing with them, walking them, or just cuddling on the couch.
“Madison did a great job caring for Arthur! Perfect amount of communication, showed up right on time and did everything that was asked. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Would definitely book with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Auburn is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $21 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 6,056 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
