“This was our first time using Rover. We have a Cane Corso, which is a breed that doesn’t trust many people, and that also needs someone that is not going to let them get pushed around. Nicque was that person for us. She offered to come visit with him as many times as we needed, to get to know him, and for him to feel comfortable with her. It didn’t take many visits. Our dog took to her right away, which put our minds at ease while we were away. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the days we were gone. As a bonus she washed all the towels and bedding that was used. We are now able to book more vacations knowing that when we leave we will have someone that cares for our fur babies. She treats them as if they were her own.”
“Taylor did a fantastic job with our Toby. He can be a real pill but she knew how to care for him. I would never have known by his behavior that we were gone almost 2 weeks. She was punctual and handled a medical situation with him very appropriately. I will definitely hire her again. Oh and the house was spotless and even clean sheets for two weary travelers. Thanks again.”
“We so appreciate Sienna and how she left everything done when got home late, we don’t have to feed the animals! She sent us pictures and communicated with us and even mopped the floor and ran the dishwasher.”
About: I grew up with a family of people and pets. I have always loved animals and always will. Often times my parents would leave the house for a get away. I am an only child so it would always be up to me to watch what was a big part of my life 2 cats and 2 dogs. It was something that was so natural to me being I grew up doing and my parents always trusted me with the duty. As of the moment I live alone with no pets and being lonely, would love to spend some quality time with a furry companion being I'm not allowed to own a pet in the apartment where I live. I have experience with both dogs and cats, small dogs, big dogs or any cat. Thanks.
“Deanna was wonderful!!! Couldn’t recommend her enough. We left for a week and when we got home our dogs were happy as can be, that tells me everything I need to know :) we were sent lots of pictures and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. Would definitely book with her again!!”
“Great communication prior to their service and during their stay with our dog. The house was left extremely clean. They also took care of our plants. Great service and we had a carefree vacation. Thanks!”
“Erin did a wonderful job caring for our Goldendoodle and Rat Terrier. She arrived on time for our meet and greet, took the time to go over everything our dogs needed, and was knowledgeable and respectful throughout. We came home to two very happy dogs and would happily recommend her!”
About: I have a dog and three cats of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for caring for them. I currently attend school online, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule, allowing me to accommodate different needs and be available throughout the day. I also have plenty of pet sitting experience, which has helped me become responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for animals. When it comes to animals, I have experience with just about everything! I’ve cared for animals ranging from rabbits to horses and everything in between. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has its own unique needs and routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, feeding, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important pets are to their families, and I would treat every animal in my care with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care! I currently attend school online, which gives me a flexible, open schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s usual routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I am very reliable, responsible, and have my own transportation, so getting to and from visits is never an issue. I understand how important consistency is when caring for pets, and I’m committed to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve! I’ve worked hard to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all of my pets at home. My dog is fully trained both on and off leash, has excellent recall, and has a strong bond of trust with me. My three cats are free to roam throughout the house, and I have gates set up to ensure they always have their own safe spaces when they need them. I believe it's important for every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and have an environment that suits their individual needs. When caring for other people's pets, I am always very proactive, attentive, and cautious. I make sure to be aware of my surroundings, pay close attention to each pet's behavior, and take extra precautions to keep them safe. Whether we're going on walks, spending time outside, or staying inside, I am mindful of potential risks and never take their safety for granted. I understand that every animal has different needs, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I always do my best to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my top priority!
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
“Miley did a wonderful job watching my 8 year old corgi mix, Loki, overnight. He’s usually very anxious, but warmed up quickly to Miley. I came home to a happy pups! Miley was also responsive and provided updates letting me know how things are going.”
About: I have had experience in dog sitting and walking puppies! I have always wanted a dog but just do not have the room for it at home so pet sitting for friends has always been something I have loved doing! Currently, I am working part-time and I am a college student. However, my shifts are never longer than 4 hours. My services are available all week! I make sure to care for pets with as much love as I can! Seeing a stranger come into your home can be daunting so I try to be as graceful as possible when meeting and interacting with the clients pets!
“I entrusted my two pets Lia and Riley to Piper and she simply gave them great care. I have never left them alone this long before and they were not stressed out at all. Piper sent me picks and videos of them while I was on vacation. This was fantastic to see them all getting along. My plane arrived late and I miss my connection. I asked if she could stay a little long and she did. This was a great help. She also cleaned and vacumed the house before she left. Piper is someone you can trust be somfrotable that she will take good care of pets and take of your house as well. From my heart, thank you so much Piper.”
About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, dogs, cats, small pets and I’m known for being calm, patient, and detail-oriented.

I’m comfortable with seniors, puppies, and anxious or shy pets, and I follow your routines exactly (feeding, meds, potty schedule, exercise). My schedule allows me plenty of time for quality pet care! I’m available most mornings and evenings. I do work part time and have my kids week on week off so between work and kids I make time for pet walks and pet care when I have my kids. When I don't have my kids, I have more available hours and can-do house sitting locally in the placer county area. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously and always treat your space with respect.

I keep everything tidy, lock up carefully, and provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your home and pets are safe and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away completely worry-free.
“This was my first time using Rover. And I was beyond satisfied. Andrew and his family took incredible care of my dog Buster. Andrew kept me informed daily of their activities, including lots of playtime in the yard, daily walks, and lots of love. Andrew was kind enough to send me lots of pictures, which made me smile every day! I felt very lucky that Buster was being so well taken care of. I will definitely book again with Andrew and his family.”
About: I’ve been a dog mom to two French Bulldogs, both of whom had their own unique medical, skin, and dietary needs. Because of that, I know firsthand how important it is to pay attention to the little details and make sure every pup gets the care they need. I don’t currently have any dogs of my own, so I’m excited to share that love and attention with yours! I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours just like I treated mine, with lots of love, patience, belly rubs, and probably a little spoiling along the way! 🐾❤️ I work FT in office and home, but can flex my schedule to WFH as much as needed to support the pup as much as possible I have a fenced yard for the pup to go potty and a walk friendly neighborhood as well with a park within a 5 min walk as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Auburn
This was our 1st time using Nicque and it was a great experience. She came over in advance to meet us and our 3 dogs. The day of she communicated with us and sent pictures so we’re would know the dogs were doing well. Everyone enjoyed having her and she will definitely be coming back!
Mel was great starting with communication before her scheduled dog sitting. Our two dogs seem real happy when we got back and doing well. Mel sent photos and videos daily. The most important thing that struck me is how much Mel loved our dogs, so I knew that they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Mel and we will use her again.
We only had Jaxen stay for one night as we just had a quick get away, but her communication was fabulous, she was prompt and sent picks even when we were only gone for 24hrs. She was very nice and the dogs seem happy. We would definitely have Jaxen for another stay.

The average cost of House Sitting in North Auburn is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $111 per night.

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 North 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 North 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 North 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
