“Lora did such a great job the first time she watched my little boy! I was thrilled when she was available for this last-minute drop in job! I especially appreciate Lora‘s updates and photos. And she was so understanding and patient with me and my multiple texts to her… I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sweet, dependable and conscientious individual to take care of their beloved furchild!!”

“Esther did drop in visits in my home while I was on vacation. My dog is comfortable at home so this arrangement worked great for us. Esther came the same time two times per day and sent pictures and updates of the visit including food, water, meds and what they did together during the visit. I was finally able to enjoy my vacation because I knew Cooper was in such good hands. I came back from my trip and my dog was just as happy as when I left. I enjoyed the sign in and out feature of the app as well. I will 100% book with Esther again.”


“Julie has been walking our 50 lb dog for several weeks and recently stopped over to feed and look in on both our dogs while we were away. I appreciate how communicative she is and she is so sweet with our dogs. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Minh was absolutely fantastic with our pup! She provided consistent updates, sent great photos, and followed all care instructions to a T. It was such a relief knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands while we were away. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuine dog lover. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Shelby was an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative throughout the entire time, keeping me updated and giving me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and reliable she was, and it was clear my pet was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and thoughtful to look after their pets.”

“Heather was absolutely fabulous. I was gone for two weeks and she took excellent care of my two indoor cats. She had to coax them out, but by the end of the two weeks she had won them over. She went above and beyond to make sure to pick up a computer that was dropped off and even vacuumed before I came home. Communication was great. I got pictures and updates every day. I will absolutely use her again when I travel. I highly recommend Heather to take care of your fur babies.❤️”


“Willa was amazing! She took great care of my cat while we were away in Bali. She made sure to feed her twice a day and even played with her in the garden. We also had a broken door, and Willa took care of it right away while we were away from home. I really appreciate everything she did for us. I can’t wait to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”


About: I focus on building trust first. I like to play, engage, and use simple training techniques to create a strong bond, which helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also attentive to different needs: Puppies: patience, basic training support, and structured routines Adult dogs: exercise, engagement, and consistency Senior dogs: gentle care, close monitoring, and comfort-focused attention. My approach is simple, keep your pet active, safe, and emotionally secure, while maintaining clear communication with you at all times. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and loving care in a safe and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for the past 10-12 years of my life, I’ve owned and cared for aggressive, shy, large animals. I walk shelter dogs for RASKC on a regular basis and even do animal transport. I grew up on a large property taking care of all my grandmas puppies and kitties during the summer, and those dogs ranged from senior small dogs, to large young dogs. I’ve also taken care of plenty of cats, stray and housed in my times. I like helping animals as it brings me a sense of satisfaction knowing I made a animals life a little easier and comfortable, there’s always room for them in my world. I would prefer to drop in but boarding is an option, I just require an advanced notice as I have a full time job. Drop in I’m available to do most time depending on frequency needed Your pet will be spoiled, with treats (according to diet requirements) attention, and if they’re accepting of other animals, plenty of time to spend with a couple of friends!
About: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.
“MJ was fantastic with our three dogs. She went above and beyond with their care. She was also very flexible and accommodating when I scheduled the times of the visits incorrectly. The dogs were happy and safe! She handled three dogs, 47 - 60 lbs with care and love. She treated our property with professionalism. This was an emergency trip with little lead time, Marta stepped up and fit us into her schedule without complaint and was exceptional. I can’t thank her enough.”

“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”

“Christine does such an amazing job, goes over and beyond what is asked of her. My cats love her! And that doesn’t come easily. I never have to worry when I’m gone, it’s such a great comfort. She is always reliable and easy to work with. Will use again! 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 6. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I get blocks of time off that allows me to be available 24 hours a day for pet care. I also have 4 daughters who love pets as well so they will be well loved. I have a fenced yard with one small dog and one dog friendly cat. I can easily crate if needed. I also have a large house to roam and kids who would love to cuddle them on our couch.
“McKenna went out of her way to help out with our pups. They are anxious dogs and require a lot of extra TLC. She was great with them. She was super sweet and responsible. I would use her again for sure!!”

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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Auburn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
