“Arianna was WONDERFUL! She took amazing care of my two cats and made sure they had clean litter, water and got in playtime. She took wonderful photos of them (always a bonus!). Thank you so much for taking care of my boys!”
“This was our first time having Nicole watch our dogs. She is very accommodating with other things like packages, mail, watering plants etc. Our dogs felt comfortable with her right from the start. By the end of the week they were very happy to see her arrive for love fun and food. It made us feel great knowing they were in good hands. Nicole is very good and quick with communicating. I highly recommend her.... except when we need her time of course... 😉”
“Matthias was an excellent dog sitter for our vacation. The dogs were very well taken care of, he went above and beyond at the house. He gave my elder dog her medication diligently and my springer lots of play time.”
About: I had a dog for 6 years and have taken care of many cats for friends. I love animals but can't have any pets in my college dorm... so I would love to take care of yours and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands while you're away! I'm a college student and I make my schedule so that I have a lot of free time for myself. When you book, I'll let you know the specific times I can drop by! In your home, I'll follow all directions you provide and be sure to take care of your pet the way you always do. I'll treat them like my own and follow the routine they're used to :)
“Thomas is an excellent sitter! My puppy, Coconut, really enjoys spending time with him. Thomas always follows my instructions carefully and makes sure all of Coconut’s needs are met. I’m so happy I chose Thomas and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Rileigh was amazing with my cat, Birdie! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being so well taken care of and was happy at home. Getting updates and photos throughout the weekend made my heart so full and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Birdie again! 🥹❤️”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years through pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’d love to get to know your pet and become someone you can both count on! I’m a college student who would love to give your pet attention and love while you’re away. I will follow any instruction very closely so their routine stays familiar and they feel comfortable. I’m a college student working part-time, with flexible availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends (my availability varies week to week) I’d love to fit walks and drop-ins! Feel free to message me about specific dates and times. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, and care. I want them to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and I’ll send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 13 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand that older pets may need extra patience, attention, gentle walks, medication reminders, and a little more TLC. I’m also experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and keeping dogs comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, routine, and individual needs. I work in real estate, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding depending on my schedule, with additional availability on weekends. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving your dog plenty of attention and care. I prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their own home. I have 13 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, and understand the importance of patience, attention, and close supervision. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
“Megan was fantastic! She was on top of her messages and got back right away, did a meet and greet with Koko ahead of time to make sure they were a good fit, and took good care of him (and lots of adorable pictures) while she was over at the house! Koko was happy , and so were we! Peace of mind. Thanks, Megan, for taking care of our baby.”
About: Pets are like family I will make sure to give your pet as much love as I would my own. I've always had animals and have much experience I will care for your fur baby as my own. I will make sure whatever they need I can accommodate. I will always provide a safe environment. I do currently work outside of the home but can always change my schedule last minute. I can be available same day for visits as well. In my home I always insure they feel comfortable. I allow them to lay on furniture. I always insure the animals are comfortable with one another if I have to families pets together at one time.
About: Growing up my family always had pets. From 10lb yorkie to 80lb husky with labs and kitties in between. Living with such a wide variety of pets allowed me to experience many different pet personalities and how to read the body language animals. I also worked as a dog washer for a summer, which allowed me to learn how to bond quickly with animals when they are in a sometimes stressful environment. I also have experience tending to pets after surgery as two of my dogs underwent ACL repairs. I can make myself available on weekends day or night if I am in town. I am open to same day visits although prefer to schedule at least 24 hours in advance. On Monday’s and Friday’s I am available from 5PM-10PM for those who work afternoon shifts or just need their pets checked on / walked for any other reason. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. Obviously we may not be best friends at first, but I hope that after one visit or multiple I can build a relationship with your pet to make them feel comfortable and give you confidence leaving them in my care.
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
“Our dogs LOVE Jamie! She is great at communicating with us when booking and during her check ins with our fur babies! If she ever has questions or concerns, she’s always reaching out which makes us feel even more comfortable with leaving her with our babies.”
About: In our home, we are big snugglers. Our two dogs, Benjamin and Franklin are very well trained and love being with other dogs. Our dogs are like our children and we want to treat every pet that stays with us, the same way. Our two boys love having friends to play with outside and don’t mind sharing their space. We have a three bedroom home with a large backyard. I’m a stay at home wife and my husband occasionally works from home. My availability is very flexible and accommodating. I will be here when you need me. :) *Our home has a big fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. It also has a camera in the backyard, the side door where they go potty and in the living room to monitor safety. *We are also conveniently located near Auburn Hills, Rochester and Troy. We are just a 15 minute drive from these cities. Please note: we do not accept any pets without a "Meet and Greet" session. Meet and Greet is when you come over to my house to meet all of us and see if it is a good fit. It is also an opportunity for you to see our place and get all your questions answered.
About: I grew up with dogs, and owned one for many years. I love their company and their attachment. I am caring and passionate and pay attention that the dog stays healthy meaning good and healthy diet, exercise, play and maintaining a good hygiene. I am newly retired and have plenty of available time. And I can accommodate my schedule to satisfy any required routine, I am flexible too. With my experience I know how to take care of dogs. Safety is one of the key factors for taking care of dogs, walking outside for a dog is important for its health, but we need to make sure it is safe, keeping the dog in leash, watching what it does eat bad things on the way.

Thomas is an excellent sitter! My puppy, Coconut, really enjoys spending time with him. Thomas always follows my instructions carefully and makes sure all of Coconut’s needs are met. I’m so happy I chose Thomas and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
We couldn't be happier with our experience with Alexis! She came to our home to care for Koda and Lira while we were out of town, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly kind, punctual, and attentive to our girls, making sure they received plenty of love, attention, and playtime. It's always a little nerve wracking leaving your pets behind, but Alexis truly put our minds at ease. Knowing Koda and Lira were in such caring and capable hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We are so grateful for Alexis and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. We wouldn't hesitate to have her back!
First time Rover user here!! And not only did she take great care of my fur babies she helped me navigate rover as I never used it before! Absolutely no complaints from my end, she did an amazing job to get my shy cat to come out and he did !! I trusted her with my kitties for the week and you should too! Thank you Shelby !! ❤️
Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Auburn Hills is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 3,704 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Auburn Hills. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburn Hills. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 .
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.
