“So glad to have found someone I trust to take care of my kitties!! She always keeps me up to date on what’s going on and sends pictures. Makes the time away from them a little less stressful ❤️🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“MyQueena was so great! This was my first time using Rover as a client since we moved and I’m so glad I found her. All of the animals took to her instantly, even one of our more shy cats loved her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Shelli was a great house sitter! She was on time, provided wonderful photos of her interactions with our dogs and clear communication while we were gone. We arrived home to happy dogs and a clean house. Would recommend as a house sitter and will hire again.”
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.
“McKenna was wonderful with our dogs, an older English Springer Spaniel and a very energetic 3 month old English Setter puppy. She handled a long 10 hour day great, watching the puppy and our older dog both inside and in our large fence outdoor yard. She communicated questions via text during the day and sent some great photos of the dogs. I would highly recommend her to others. She seems to really care and is very responsible.”
“I had an emergency & had to leave my furbabies home for a few days. Luckily, Isabel was able to help me care for them. I have a little dog with some health issues who’s a super picky eater & Isabel made sure to offer different types of food & tried multiple ways to entice her to eat. My cat is also pretty skittish & fearful of new people, but warmed up fast to Isabel. My other 2 furbabies are a feral pigeon & a bunny & she gladly helped me out with keeping them alive as well. I’m so glad I found her, she took great care of all my babies & wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to my friends & family ☺️”
“Stuart did an amazing job! Gizmo was well cared for and when he got into something on the street Stuart immediately called my vet to make sure he didn’t need to come in, then promptly checked in with me. Also left my apartment very clean!”
“Best dog and house sitter ever!!! Pictures of all the activities done to keep our boys exercised. House looks better than what it did when we left! Kristen was so communicative and treated our dogs like her own, cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant from Pima Medical Institute. I have worked in animal care for over a year, where I have ensured the comfort, safety and support of hundreds of dogs, cats and exotic animals. I love being a part of the process of giving animals the quality of life they deserve. I enjoy the opportunity to give each unique animal the affection and help they need and that is why I am excited to get up in the morning. I would love to add your furry friend to the list of animals I am honored to get to care for. As a Vet Assistant, I can check vitals, administer medications, provide life-saving support, grooming (nail trims, bathing, brushing), basic training skills, as well. I'm currently a full-time Veterinary Assistant with my availability being most weekends, let me know in advance if you need weekday care and I may be able to adjust my schedule so I can spoil your animals. I would love to be able to care for your home as well as your animals when you are gone. Ensuring your animals are in an environment they are used to while you are away.
“Wow, what an amazing experience my pets had with Natalie! My dogs and cat warmed up to her immediately. She was very communicative, played with them and even helped with training the puppy. She did an awesome job watching over the house. When we got home the house was clean and tidy. It was a relief to find someone so trustworthy. We will reach out to Natalie any time we go out of town and, fingers crossed, hire her for dog training. 10/10 experience and an even better person!”
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
“Marta provides awesome updates and photos of our pup every day she comes for a dropin or to house sit. Marta came over before our last trip to learn how to prepare our picky dogs food. We highly recommend Marta if you need someone to care for your furry friends.”
“Yvonne was a great fit. We felt completely comfortable leaving Striker in her hands. She gave us daily updates and photos. Striker did not appear stressed when we returned. The house was in great shape as well. We wouldn't hesitate to have Yvonne watch him again in the future.”
“Chelsey was a wonderful sitter for our pets. She was quick to respond to my messages and was confident in her care of our cats and dog. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Casey is amazing! She watched my kitten while I was out of town and took excellent care of her. Great communication. I felt at ease the entire time I was away. She left my home spotless. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to have someone you trust in your home with your pets.”
“Monica is the ultimate animal lover. I was almost a little jealous how quickly the dogs warmed up to her. We needed overnight care and reached out kind of last minute. Monica was very helpful by meeting and walking the dogs before the two nights of dog sitting. Highly recommend reaching out if looking for help with your animals. Very professional and reliable.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
My husband and I are anxious dog parents and were afraid to leave our pups so we could go on a trip. Thankfully we found Morgan, instantly when meeting her our anxieties were at ease. She was punctual, asked great questions, knowledgeable respectful, and showed her genuine care for our babies. Before booking one of our babies was diagnosed with diabetes, she was extremely kind and even came for an extra visit to make sure all his medical needs were met. She took great care of our home and left it clean and comfy with a video on for our pups. We will definitely be booking with her again.
Wendy did a great job with our two dogs at our home. She exercised them daily, got them out plenty(cleaned up after them outside! Yay!) Good line of communication with plenty of pictures while we were away. House was great when we got home. She braved a power outage, a storm and a muddy back yard with our playful lab, keeping his paws clean coming back inside and kept our cuddly doxy happy and "on schedule" getting him out when it’s clear he doesn't want to go. We recommend Wendy strongly.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Auburn is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $154 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 7,851 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
