“Elsker and Kody loved being with Renee this beginning of September while their parents were out of town! They appreciated all the walks, the frozen snacks and Renee’s company at night! They are looking forward to spending more time with Renee next time their parents go on vacation! Thank you Renee for everything you have done for Elsker and Kody!”
“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! ◡̈”
“Our dogs loved Jessica! She is very communicative and took care of them and our house as if it were her own. Our flight was delayed and she was able to help us out a little longer too.”
“Alexis was very easy to work with and responded quickly. She house sitted and watched over our two boy for a week. She sent updates and pics. Upon return, the house was clean and our two dogs looked like they were well taken care of. Highly recommend and will use 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.”
“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.”
“Kristin was the best Dogsitter & house sitter we’ve ever had. She constantly shared updates to let us know things were going well, took amazing pictures, and handled all the pups complicated medical issues. They were so happy and realized with hereven though they’re so high strung. She’s truly cares about their well being. Also I’m pretty sure the house was cleaner than when we left!! A+++ thank you so much!!!”
“Danielle is amazing! It was our first trip leave the dogs at home so we were little worried, but she took care of the dogs so well. We'll definitely book her again for the next trip!”
“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.”
“Morgan was excellent! Struck the right balance of keeping us up to date without too much information so we could enjoy our trip. She sent plenty of pictures and really made us feel like our pups had someone who loved them almost as much as us taking care of them. I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone who needs their pups or house watched she was fantastic! We will definitely book with her in the future. P.S. our pups can be a little bit of a pain and she handled everything with finesse and grace. I can't express enough how appreciative we are that she was able to deal with their little quirks!”
“Isabel is the best! From when I first met her at the meet and greet I knew she would be great for Roxy. She took great care of my fur baby. She gave Roxy lots of attention and loves just what my little separation anxiety girl needs. She sent pictures and video daily and was quick to respond whenever I reached out. When our flight got delayed she was so understanding and helpful. It was a big relief she could work it into her schedule to stay another night. I can’t recommend her enough! She will always be my first choice, thank you Isabel!”
About: With 10+ years of experience in pet care and 9 years of hands-on professional work tending to their care & hygiene needs, I bring a deep understanding of the communication & behavior of our 4-legged companions. It is truly one of my life’s missions to help our familiars feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply reassurance, your dog will always be treated with patience, love, and expert care. I've got that "animal whisperer" type of 'tism. 😋 Over the years many dogs & cats of all life stages have come into my care, to some capacity. This has led to experience with successfully redirecting a wide range of behaviors such as reactivity & stress obsessions to repeatedly pawing you in the face cause i love you so much & please keep petting meeee!! I've participated in puppy training, training of all life stages, played the medication dances.. there is slim chance i haven't done it at least once, when i comes to dogs. p.s. After i meet your dog i will likely come home wishing i could take them with me... 😉 but i won't.. promise. I am grateful to work from home. Being tied to one less location creates space for me to tend to your dogs needs & mine with ease. My work days start later in the morning & i don't work past 7pm. This means i have plenty of time to comfortably get yours pups day started & wound down during the week. I take safety and emotional well-being seriously. I’m highly aware of canine body language & individual preferences & I tailor my approach to each pets needs. On walks, I use consistent safety measures such as shielding your dog from unfamiliar humans or animals & steering clear of potential stressors. My priority is creating an environment where your dog feels protected and understood—and where you can trust that their safety is always at the forefront.
“Emma took excellent care of our cats!!! This is our second time using her and we already have her booked for an extended trip this summer. She has an easy, relaxed, and calming presence. This is a perfect for our slightly anxious cats.”
About: I have experience with pets. I have been trained with basic canine through the international boarding and pet association. I have had my own pets and have trained them in general and basic pet knowledge. Teaching them to be caring and loving, and basic understanding of commands. Understanding the body language of the pet so that I know how to better care for them. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask questions upon meeting. I currently work part time at an animal shelter; I am mostly available any time of the week. I am pretty flexible and can work around your schedule and mine :) I come with great enthusiasm and is capable of appreciating and talking with your pet and having fun with them so that they feel loved
“Brandy watched our dogs this past weekend and things went perfectly. (Our first overnight Rover). She was communicative, sent lots of pics, was a respectful guest and the dogs clearly loved her (as evidenced by cute snuggly pics). We recommend Brandy and will hire her again!!”
“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
At the end of October, when we were out of town Renee took wonderful care of Elsker! As always, everything went smoothly! We received regular updates and photos of Elsker, which gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. Renee also went above and beyond by taking care of our home. She took the trash out on collection days and even cleaned the house, without us ever asking her to do so! When we returned, the house was spotless and in great condition, and Elsker was happy and well cared for. Thank you, Renee, for your thoughtfulness, reliability, and for always going above and beyond. We truly appreciate you!
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 $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $156 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 November 2026, there are 7,834 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 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
