“Ayla is FABULOUS. We have used Rover many times and have had great experiences, but Ayla is above and beyond!!! We have four fur babies who can be A LOT.

“Lydia was great! This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous. However, Lydia put us at ease. She took the time to get to know our three dogs. Also, Lydia was very patient, understanding, and caring knowing some of our dogs had some separation issues while we were away. Eventually, all three dogs became comfortable with Lydia. Lydia provided daily updates and pictures of the dogs and even did a Facetime call which gave us piece of mind knowing they were well taken care of. We trust Lydia and would book her again if needed.”
“Taylor was great again! She communicated well, sent us updates and pictures. Grover seems to enjoy her watching him. We will continue to look to book Taylor for our dog sitting needs.”

“This is the second time Maddie has stayed at our home and watched our energetic puppy. She stayed in touch with us and even sent us a photo. She is professional, kind, and loves our dog. She will be here a few more times this year.”
“Cassie does a great job with our elderly cat. She also was GREAT with my daughter's rescue cat who can be unpredictable, especially with new people! Both cats were happy campers when we returned home!”
“Our giant doofus of a dog loved her. She took care of not only the dog and cat but also two dramatic pigs and two stubborn goats. When we had last-minute scheduling hiccups she was flexible and understanding. We're grateful we found her!”
About: What sets me apart is my mix of professional experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant and receptionist since high school, giving me hands-on knowledge in caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I don’t just provide the basics — I make sure every cat or dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and photo updates for your peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in during the mornings before work, around lunchtime (12:00), and again after work (typically after 5:00). I’m dedicated to making sure pets get consistent attention, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love during those times, so they never feel alone or overlooked. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so pets feel comfortable and secure — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I give lots of love and attention, keep their space tidy, and send regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If pets are in my home, I provide a safe, cozy environment with plenty of play, snuggles, and supervision, making them feel like part of the family while they’re with me.
“Priscilla watched our FIVE dogs while we were out of the country for a week. She stayed in our home and did an exceptional job. She was communicative, VERY clean (I think the house was cleaner than we left it), and most importantly, provided exceptional care for our dogs. This included caring for a dog in diapers, and 4 other seniors needing medication and more frequent bathroom breaks.”

I will check on them throughout the day during work if needed I live in an apartment that has 1 bedroom. The apartment complex does allow animals. I have ring cameras in my place and outside my place to make sure I’m always able to see if my home and the animals are safe
About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family since 2022 and for the last year, I worked for a boutique dog hotel in Nashville. I have experience with all types of dog breeds, age ranges, and temperaments. I have always had a huge love for dogs from an early age and am grateful to have found my purpose in the dog care industry. I believe in-home sitting and drop in visits are the better options for keeping your babies' stress levels at a minimum while you're away. My only mission is to help you keep your fur babies happy, safe, loved, and never feeling lonely! I am prioritizing pet care to be my main focus in life, so with proper notice and planning, I am currently fully available for my services. I am unable to host within my current lease. My goal is to get into the swing of their routines and habits in your home, so that they are staying on track with any schedules you have in place. I want your dog to feel as comfortable as possible, so no request will ever be ignored... even if you think it seems silly! I have nothing but respect for other people and their home. I want everyone to feel at ease when choosing to use my services knowing your home, property, and dogs will be safe with me!
About: I make sure to show the animals all the love and attention they need! It is more to taking care of pets than just feeding and walking them! They need physical affection as well! I have two dogs myself so i’m very used to taking good care of animals 24/7. I want to do this full time so it would fit into my schedule very well! I make sure to take lots of time with my animals and i also make sure to keep a very close eye on certain animals!
“Damian did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting while I was on an extended trip. My dog got along great with Damian. He took Finn for a walk at the park and in the neighborhood. While house sitting and providing dog care, Damian swept the floor, rain the dishwasher, and laundered the towels before leaving. He was trustworthy and respectful in my home. I recommend Damian highly.”
“Tavin was excellent with our dogs! He followed all of our directions about medicine and their quirky little preferences, and he was so thoughtful about everything. He sent regular updates about them, and asked questions when something wasn’t clear, which was great. We didn’t have to worry while we were away, because Tavin had everything under control. I genuinely think the dogs are missing him now that we are back home - They became great buddies and we’d love to have him again!”

Daisy watched our 3 kitties for a long weekend. We were very pleased with her services! Our one cat hides and Daisy looked until she found him to give him his food. We really appreciated that! These were overnight visits and she did an excellent job! Would definitely use again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 665 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Auburntown. 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 Auburntown 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 Auburntown 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 Auburntown 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.
