“Mikki was the best! Our pets were well taken care of, our house was cleaner than we left it, and we received communication and updates daily. Absolutely would recommend and will book with again!”
“Leilani is super sweet and respectful, just simply amazing. She kept in touch the whole time we were away, sending pictures and videos. She treated our pups like family and they loved her. Definitely recommend her.”
About: I may not have professional pet care experience but I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life so I know how to care for them and give them what they need, I try to be available as much as I can, My love for animals makes me a very trustworthy person, I’ll make sure your furry friend will be safe while they’re with me, Puppies are also something I can handle despite their playful wild side and I’ll make sure your dog is well looked after, by the time you get home or I bring your companion back you will be greatly satisfied. Hopefully with all that I’ve said I will have a chance with having fun with your dog and I’ll be able to give your dog a great time I am free Monday-Sunday. 6am-7:30am I am not available 7:35am-8pm I am available Time varies depending on the day but I answer pretty quickly so just message me with my (615) number I cannot board any pets due to the fact that I have my own 4 dogs who are outside already with no fenced yard yet and no dogs are allowed inside so cannot accept any pets here in my home currently. However I can come to your home and care for your dogs no problem.
“It was our first time using Rover. And we booked last minute when our dog became ill. Elly was fantastic! Her communication was great, she helped our dog with meds, she sent photos…most definitely an A+. We will most definitely be booking with her again!”
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”
About: All my life I’ve loved and cared for all different kinds of animals ranging from furry to scaly. Be it my own pets, friends and neighbors have relied on me to take excellent care of their fur babies. I am available on the weekdays & weekends. I work full time but I will do my best to accommodate to your needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have you any questions or concerns! Caring for your babies is my main priority as well as fun of course. I will take the necessary steps to keep them safe during walks, playtime, etc. I will adhere to whatever requirements that you may have, whether it be a special diet or a nighttime bath.
“Highly recommend!! We absolutely loved Jaiden! First time ever using Rover. We were apprehensive about having a stranger come stay at our home while we were out of town. Jaiden was a great communicator, came over to our house and spent some time meeting with us and our pets and came back one more time to get the key. Our dogs immediately loved him and we did too. Jaiden is a wonderful young man, and we will absolutely use him again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. My neighbors and family would always trust me with their fur babys. I can give meds, bathe and take for walks. I am a stay home mom, so I have plenty of time to love your furbaby. I am available any day of th3 week. I will love them like their mine! I have 2 cats in my home who will help keep your animal company. My kids share my passion, so your fur baby will get more than enough lovings!
“Bethany took care of our two Brittany dogs at the beginning of summer and was so amazing. She is a true animal lover and gave our dogs all of the attention they needed while we were away. Great communication through photos, videos and text each day. I was so happy to have someone like her and her amazing daughters watching over our home and pets. We are so lucky to know her and rebooked her again this summer.”
“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: I have personally owned a dog since I was at least 11, sometimes multiple dogs at a time. While I have only ever personally owned large dogs like Great Danes and German Shepherds, I have taken care of neighbors and family members dogs as small as chihuahuas. So either big or small, the size of the furry friend does not matter to me. I have fed, walked, bathed, and just generally taken care of more dogs in my life than I could keep track of. Plenty of friends and family have relied on me for their dog caring needs while they have been at work or out of town. I am currently working full time, in customer service, but I have a background and previous job experience in law enforcement. So if it’s a safe and reliable person you’re looking for then I’m the perfect fit. I’m available all days of the week before or after work to take care of your pets! My schedule changes weekly so the hours will slightly very. While my current place of residence isn’t the most extravagant for an animal ( I am a broke, apartment-living, college student after all), I love making any furry friends just as comfortable in their own home as if they had known me forever. I try to make it so that anything your pet is used to, does not change simply because I am there.
“I would highly recommend Brendan to anyone who needs a pet sitter. I had no worries about my babies well being while under his care. He kept me updated on how they were doing and even included pictures of Pedy and Gianni. Our dog Pedy is 11 and has diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. It was such a relief that Brendan was experienced at injections. I want to thank Brendan for agreeing to watch our babies on such short notice after the other sitter we booked cancelled. I really hope Brendan is available next year when we go away to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.”
“Allie did a great job of watching our dogs while we were away. She was communicative and left our house looking great! She followed our instructions well, and I would not hesitate to hire her again in the future.”
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!
“I can not recommend Kori enough! She house-sat for our (very rambunctious) english bulldog puppy and was very attentive to both our puppy and our house! You can tell she is naturally wonderful with dogs, but she expands upon that with a level of concern and care for them that actually allowed me to my enjoy my trip and minimized my mom-guilt :) I plan to use Kori for all future trips and would recommend her to anyone needing a wonderful companion for their pet!”
“Such a wonderful experience working with Grayson. She was flexible, kind, an excellent communicator and problem solver. We booked Grayson’s help for a week that happened to be AWFUL, icy weather. Not once did we ever worry that our pets would be abandoned or neglected. She was a great communicator and individually solved problems/made contingency plans to accommodate for the weather. Our dog is usually very nervous/high anxiety, but we knew we had left him in good hands because when we arrived home he was happy and content. We will definitely book again! Thank you, Grayson!!”
About: I prefer animals over humans. Have had pets all my life. From small dogs like a chihuahua to large dogs like a boxer. Very attentive. Work from home and available on weekends. Can care for your pet all day since i work from home. I also enjoy walks and will walk your pet. Home is pet friendly and safe for all pets. Your pet will be leashed on walks. Unsafe rooms will be gated off so that they can stay in sight.

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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Auburntown
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.
