“Archie LOVES Lauren ◡̈ I had to go into the office all day and so I hired her to watch Archie while I was gone they played almost the whole time! She sent me pictures and videos throughout which made me feel at ease so I could focus on work! Archie is a high energy dog and she was able to handle him with ease! Showed up on time and understood everything she needed to know ◡̈ Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future! ◡̈”
“Renee did an amazing job house sitting for us when we were out of town for New Year's! Renee went above and beyond taking care of Elsker and Kody who were crazy excited to hear that garage door open and go for a walk at least 3 times a day!!! Every day we got a lot of picture and video updates of Elsker and Kody walking, sniffing and even observing a bunny!! Renee not only took care of our fur babies but also took care of the house: the trash was picked up on time and everything in the house was in order, just like we left it. We can't thank Renee enough for taking care of Elsker and Kody and of our house. We will definitely be using Renee's help in the future!”
“Jacob is an amazing sitter! He's very detailed and kept me updated on my kitty cat daily! I booked him for a week long house sitting and when I came back, the apt was spotless and my pet was relaxed and happy! I am very satisfied with Jacob's sitting and would totally book him again in the future! Thanks Jacob!”
“Jessica is an amazing dog sitter. She was very communicative, flexible and attentive to our dogs. She gladly did a meet and greet and our dogs felt comfortable around her. We would definitely book her again in the future.”
“OMG! Wendy is amazing. Good Luck trying to book with her in the future because I am booking in advance!!!! Very Professional, excellent with my fur babies, she set the bar so high that the only way I book with someone is if she isn’t available. Not to say that others aren’t amazing, I want you to know that my first experience with her and River was that good! Thank you so much!!!!”
“Makela watched our house & dog and cat for 8 days and she was absolutely amazing! She updated me daily and was always available if I reached out, and was always kind & professional. Our pets were very comfortable with her and extremely well taken care of which put my mind at ease. I will be rebooking with Makela for all pet sitting needs in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted sitter :)”
“Minh was great! She took amazing care of my dog, was very responsive and sent me fun pictures and updates while I was away. I came home to a very happy boy so I couldn’t be happier!”
“Dianna was excellent with my 10-day post-op angry scared-y cat. Nigel was recovering from surgery and still needed medicine while I was away. He was stressed to be left alone and gets upset and aggressive when he is handled, but Dianna met him on his level and was very patient with him. She helped him get comfortable with her at his own pace and didn’t force him. She even managed to get him to take his medicine! Dianna was very communicative through all of it and let me know about Nigel’s struggles and successes throughout the weekend. I would absolutely recommend Dianna!”
“Rose house sat for us over a weekend and took excellent care of our 12 year old heeler who is a typical cattle dog. She sent prompt updates, photos and stayed on top of his daily insulin medication. We arrived home to a happy and calm pup, and the house clean and tidy. I would absolutely have her house sit for us again!”
“EJ's attention to detail was exceptional. She thoroughly reviewed the information about Tessie, asked questions, and made sure that she understood Tessi's routine, and the house. Tessie had a medical emergency that required a visit to the vet. EJ handled the issue proffessionaly and compasionately and made sure the Tessie got the proper treatment, kept me informed, and followed up with the appropriate treatment when they returned home. Tessie is doing well. Tessie was well cared for while I was away. The house was spotless. EJ was exceptional.”
“Brittney and Megan were absolute angels!! From the moment I booked with them, they went above and beyond—checking in with me every day, sending the cutest, most beautiful photos of my babies, and most importantly, loving them like their own. 🥹💛 Knowing they were safe, snuggled, and genuinely cared for brought my anxiety down more than I can say. I could feel the warmth and peace they created in my absence. I will never be able to thank them enough—and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in a heartbeat. Truly the dream team. 💫🐾✨”
“Alexis is the best ever! She is extremely responsible, communicative , and reliable. I feel that she cared for my Romi as if she were her own! I left for the weekend knowing my dog would have the best of care. 100% happy with this experience.”
About: Hi! I have had over 10 years of experience with my own fur babies. Both of my girls have crossed the rainbow bridge but we got to enjoy their golden years together, going for walks and soaking up the sun. As my dogs got older I became a pro in distributing oral medications and eye drops. Roxy (my Shih Tzu) also became blind and deaf so I have experience with those disabilities as well. I give exceptional belly rubs, & will give these babies compliments all day long. I do work full time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. Saturday - Monday my availability is pretty open. Tuesday - Friday I would be available after 5pm. My neighborhood has wonderful with walking trails that we could explore. I also live next door to my aunt who has a super friendly Corgi and is always looking for friends to play with. I do love to snuggle up with a pup on the couch or bed, but do have space for a crate if that would be more comfortable for them.
“Danielle was very professional and courteous with our 3 pets. Our cat warmed up to her quickly and our very shy pup took it in stride. I knew she would be great when she came in and noticed Buttercup was shaking and nervous. She took her time and read through our instructions very thoroughly. We would definitely hire her again and recommend her for your pet needs. Thank you!!”
“Here's a warm, polished review: Selena did an amazing job with Bella! She made sure Bella got plenty of exercise, and I could tell she genuinely cared for her while I was away for the evening. I came home to happy and relaxed pup! Selena was also an excellent communicator, keeping me updated and sending photos throughout the visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated her reliability and the care she showed Bella. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Selena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Vanessa did such a great job watching over our home and fur babies! It was such a relief to know that my two cats and two dogs were taken care of while our family was away for a wedding weekend. Would definitely bring Vanessa back again.”
About: Hi! My name is Monae, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my volunteer work at the Humane Society and Resilient Sanctuary, where I help with walking dogs, providing enrichment and socialization, cleaning kennels, preparing food and water, and assisting with daily care. I am comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I am currently pursuing a degree in psychology, and I have a strong interest in animal behavior and dog training. This has helped me develop patience, observation skills, and an understanding of how to build trust with both pets and their owners. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them with the same care, attention, and respect that I would want for my own pet. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your furry family member, and I am committed to providing reliable care and clear communication every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Why book with me? * Volunteer experience with dogs at the Humane Society and Resilient Sanctuary * Experience with daily animal care, enrichment, and socialization * Reliable and responsive communication * Comfortable with dogs of various breeds and sizes * Passionate about animal behavior and dog training * Dedicated to making pets feel safe, happy, and loved I work full-time with TSA, so I currently offer pet care on Fridays and Saturdays. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to dedicating my days off to caring for pets. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or companionship, I will make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs receive plenty of walks, exercise, potty breaks, and attention. I always follow the owner's instructions and take the time to learn each dog's routine and needs. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society and Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, where I work with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care. I am also pursuing a degree in psychology and will be starting the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course. My long-term goal is to become a service dog trainer, so I'm passionate about continuing to learn and build experience working with dogs.
“Emalie did a great job! She was very friendly, communicative and sent pictures with updates. She gave Kodiak so much love and attention & made our trip very stress free. I would definitely book with her again 😊”
“Annetta was great with Kev! She walked him, played with him and gave lots of cuddles from the pics she shared. She even bought him a toy. 🥹 our home was clean and well taken care of too. Thank you, Annetta for your time and communication about our baby boy.”
“Christine takes extra good care of our pups! One of our dogs is high energy, so she made sure to take him on lots of fetching adventures. Our other pup has anxiety, so she made sure to give lots of snuggles :) She stayed in our home, and when we came back the house was well cared for and clean! Thank you Christine! We will book again for our next trip!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Molly was wonderful! She was super communicative about how the dogs were doing - not only the dogs but also our 5 fish - and she quickly responded to any message from us about household requests. She walked our big dogs at least 45 minutes a day and watered our garden in the dead of summer. We saw that the dogs were loved and cared for our whole time away. In addition, Molly left our house clean as a whistle! I highly recommend Molly for any house sitting and/or dog sitting job and I have full confidence in her skills and the care she will provide any pet in the future!
These two are the best. Lauren was incredibly communicative, provided thoughtful updates throughout our trip, and was so warm and caring with the animals. Ernest was equally wonderful—our pups don't always warm up to new people, especially men, but they took to him right away. We came home to very happy, relaxed dogs (and cat!), and I honestly think they were disappointed their new friends had to leave. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands and will absolutely be booking with them again!
Danielle was so wonderful! I received so many pictures of my boys, it makes me so happy to see all the fun and love they got while I was gone! She left my house so clean, and even put clean sheets on my bed so I didn’t have to think about it after a day of travel! Will absolutely be reaching out to her again!
I booked very last minute and Sarah was so kind and reassuring right away. She was reliable, responsive, and kept me updated with sweet pictures and messages. She followed care instructions perfectly and took such loving, attentive care of my cat. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was safe, happy, and in great hands. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter.
Shay is the most professional, and reliable, and just “above and beyond” dog sitter you could ever ask for! Our pup had a better time with her than she does with us at home! Shay is a great communicator and always kept in the loop even during our busy trip. Shay will definitely be our top choice when we need someone for dog sitting!
I would give Charolette 6 or 7 stars if I could! She was amazing with my two little dogs and they now LOVE auntie Charolette. She was great about communicating any questions or concerns that came up. She cleaned up without hesitation when the dogs made "deposits" in inappropriate locations, and our house was perfectly tidy when we arrived home to happy, calm puppies. Thank you Charolette for being the best dog/house sitter we have ever used! There needs to be more of your kindness, compassion and consideration in this world.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Auburn on Rover is $52.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,969 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
