“Ayla was great! We knew instantly that she was the best fit for our special needs dog. She came over to introduce herself and get acquainted before our pet sitting dates and seemed to understand dog psychology and how interact to our highly anxious, deaf pit bull. Would definitely recommend her!”
“I needed a dog sitter last minute after a cancellation. She was on time, caring, responsive. Sent me several pictures and kept me updated. It was a great experience. Will definitely book again!”
“Our beach trip was at risk due to unavailability of our usual dog/house sitter. Found Elly on Rover and she was great! Provided photo updates of our dog that kept our minds at ease. Bo typically is quite anxious when we are gone and it takes several days after we return for him to calm back down. This time he was fine immediately. Elly also tended to our mail, etc. Highly recommend.”
“Hannah aka Mikki house sat for us and watched our mini dachshund. We did a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip (which we booked with her on short notice) and she was so great with Banjo, even totally unphased by his typical dachshund barking. She seems to truly love her job and love animals. She checked in while we were out of town and sent pictures. This was hands down the best experience we’ve ever had with a Rover sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again.”
“Nathan was patient with my older dog Jewel who takes longer to warm up to new people but once she does she loves you! He was also great my with new puppy who is still learning the lay of the land. I would recommend him to all of my friends and book him again!”
“THE BEST! Both our cat and dog immediately loved Hanna. Usually our dog is pretty protective until he gets to know you. He went right up to Hanna, wagging his tail and asking for attention. She handled our fur babies with care and confidence. We could tell from the body language in the pictures she sent us that they were happy and content. Hanna's communication was excellent from the moment we first had contact with her until she was finished watching our animals. She went above and beyond in every aspect. Definately an incredible sitter. Without a doubt we will contact her the next time we need a sitter.”
“Sophie is always amazing but this time she had to deal with the crisis of my older pup passing away. She rushed him to the vet and stayed with my sweet boy the entire time. I can never thank her enough for the extra care she gave my pups. Thank you Sophie!”
About: Growing up with Pitbulls, I have no fear of dogs of any kind. I have experience sitting for cats and dogs. Most I’ve sat for at 1 time is 5, 2 dogs, 3 cats!! I’m starting college at the end of August and will be available to sit in the evenings and weekends! If local I can pop in and out throughout the day, if not I’ll spend the afternoon with them. We Eat, We Play, We Potty, We Relax, and We Repeat. I also have experience with tedious meal times and medications for pets. Which will be easy to incorporate into that schedule.
“Robyn is absolutely amazing! She treats your furry family like they are her own and she took great care of our home. Robyn goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are not only cared for, but loved!”
“Ryland was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she great with my pets, she took very good care of my home. She is a most wonderful person and would trust her with taking care of my furr babies anytime.”
About: I have worked with a variety of different animals my entire life large and small with a variety of different needs. I look to provide the care that you expect for your fur babies. I currently own my own business so it allows me to have a flexible schedule in being able to help out others. My schedule allows me to be there when I am most needed. Creating a safe enviroment and fostering trust is important to me as it can help build a working relationship with others and make sure you are feeling secure when finding a pet sitter.
“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'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’ve always loved animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person. Although I’m just starting my professional journey on Rover, I’m committed to following each pet’s routine, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I will treat every dog as if they were my own❤️🐶 I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening walks or drop-in visits after 5:00 PM on weekdays. I’m fully available on weekends and have much more flexibility to dedicate my time to caring for your pet. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and loving care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in an apartment and make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I will follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I will treat your pet with love, patience, and respect, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and farm animals through my work as a kennel technician, farm hand, and animal caretaker. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning, exercise, monitoring health, and giving medications or treatments when needed. Most importantly, I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently in college from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, but I have a lunch break from 11 AM to 12 PM for dog walks. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting after class, as well as overnight stays and weekend care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have years of hands-on animal care experience and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine. I’m comfortable caring for animals in their own home, handling feeding and exercise routines, cleaning up after pets, and administering medications or treatments when needed. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I also do photography so if you ask I can photograph your fur babies for you!
“Jolie was amazing. She has excellent communication skills and made sure our dogs were safe and cared for. I definitely recommend her and hope she is available to watch our dogs in the future.”
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dog breeds, from small pugs to big boxers! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years off and on for friends, neighbors and family when needed! I’m currently working part time, with flexible hours. The longest I would be away from them, if I had work, would be around 6-7 hours. I don’t work everyday, so when I am not at work, I am with the animals! I will walk your animals around the block, let them outside if there is a fence to run around in and play with them! Your animals safety is my number 1 priority!

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 August 2026, there are 679 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
