About: I had a dog in my home till I was about 13, after he passed (2 days before my birthday), I only got experience from the people I was staying with. After living with about 4 different dogs (across the span of 2 years 3 homes), I believe there is nothing more important then their care, and happiness! I recently moved here, so I’m still getting my bearings, but I have extensive experience ☺️, and I am also more then willing to provide any necessary info I love animals with a passion, and dogs are about my favorite! I will always treat them with the utmost respect, and all the love 🥰 I do know it can get dirty, though I am more then willing to handle every part of this job
“Great sitter. Looking forward to using Britney again. Overall it was an excellent experience and we highly recommend her to take care of your furry family members while you are away.”
“I booked Anna to watch my cat for two weeks on very short notice, and she did a great job. She was responsive and flexible. I couldn't have asked for more.”
“Elisiya checked in on my cat while I was out of town and she was great! She followed the care instructions and really made an effort to make my shy cat feel comfortable.”
About: Hey there! I’m Mia, a huge dog lover who’s happiest when spending time with pups. I love going on walks, giving belly rubs, and making sure every dog feels loved and cared for while their owner’s away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe at all times. You can count on me to be reliable, caring, and treat your dog like my own! I’m a student at CSU, but I’ve set up my classes so I have plenty of open blocks during the week. I'm usually totally free by early afternoon, which is perfect for mid-day walks or drop-ins while you're at work. My weekends are also very flexible, so I’m around for longer house-sitting stays or Sunday morning. When I take care of pets in a client’s home, I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I always follow your instructions and keep their routine the same, whether that means walks, meals, or some extra playtime and cuddles. I make sure they get plenty of love and attention, keep things tidy, and send you cute photo updates so you know they’re happy and doing great.
About: I have 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and have raised my own dog for 12 years, so I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I am available for both ad hoc pet care needs and regularly scheduled needs. I have a small fenced yard and a park with a large open space across the street from my house that is well loved by my dog.
About: Absolutely, have 40 years of experience in animals of ALL kinds. Grew up on a farm. Trained puppies, and very much took care of our senior animals. Also, been through a doggie knee rebuild and having to give cat shots everyday for FIP cure. Technically retired, but looking to get out of the house more. Why not do something to make a bit of money and help out other pet parents I have seven grandkids on top of three cats, and had dogs for many. many years. I also own my own house. I am extremely, responsible adult (old lady) and a bit OCD. I am currently cleaning up after two new chicks. I am very used to running around all day/night in the care of animals needs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and clients since I was 13 years old. I love taking care of and meeting new animals! I have pets of my own who are a regular part of my daily routine. I love having the responsibility to take care of pets and show them the care they deserve. I love caring for animals by giving them the attention that they need to be happy. In my home, we have a litter robot for our cats that is regularly cleaned.
About: I pay close attention to details and am currently enrolled in a pet sitting/care certification course. I believe I will be more reliable and beneficial! I'm currently attending class and working part time, but have an open schedule when needed. Available on weekdays and weekends anytime. Just need detailed schedule. My townhouse complex is fenced and I have two loving little dogs that loves to play. Also, sections of the house can be closed off if separation is needed. If I were to work out of a client's home, I follow strict rules and do not mess around.
“The best! I mistakenly gave Heidi the wrong door code, and that still didn't stop her from going later that night to check on my fur babies. I am so greatful for her and the care she gave them. Thank you!”
“Morgan is everything you want in anyone who looks after your pet- dependable, observant, communicative. She lets you know what pet owners want to know about the visit. I have a young puppy with many needs, but Morgan gives me great peace with her drop in visits.”
About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities since I was a teenager. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me to check in on their pets, provide food and fresh water, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime while their owners are away. More recently, I've taken care of friends cats while they are away and have truly enjoyed the different aspects. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it's an energetic dog that loves long walks or a cat that prefers a calm and comfortable routine. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I work full-time Tuesday through Saturday, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to be available most mornings until around 11 AM. I also have Mondays completely free, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine, and I’d love the opportunity to help care for yours! I’ll be providing pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, and I understand the trust that comes with welcoming someone into your personal space. I treat every home with the same care, respect, and attention to detail as I would my own. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands. My goal is to build that trust through reliable, attentive care and open communication, making sure both you and your pets feel comfortable every step of the way.
About: I have been lucky enough to have dogs in my household my entire adult life. Dogs bring me joy, and I will care for your pups as if they were my own. Friendly, genuine and dependable (me). I often watch friend's dogs while humans are vacationing. I am not currently working and have a mostly open schedule for walks, potty breaks and the occasional overnight stay. Very flexible schedule at this time! Let me know your dog's needs, and I will accommodate. Pup safety and care is my top priority - along with having some fun, too! Happy to take an extra loop around the block, extend playtime or pick up poop, all good!
“Crystal is such a thoughtful and caring sitter for our Basset Hound. She has dropped in to visit him on multiple occasions and he absolutely loves her and her visits. I would highly recommend Crystal for your pet’s needs.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, and I currently have a Mini Australian Shepherd named Koda, who is very sweet and playful. I have been a dog walker/sitter for about 10 years for family, friends and neighbors. I have a strong dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each dog's unique needs and personality! I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where your pets feel at ease, offering plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. My background includes experience with different dog breeds, sizes, and ages, so I'm confident in managing a variety of situations calmly and responsibly. I also prioritize regular updates for pet owners, ensuring peace of mind while they're away! I am currently working from home, so I will have time throughout the day to walk, feed, play with, and check on your pets as needed! I live in a very quiet and low-key neighborhood, with plenty of outdoor space for your pet to run and play! There is a very spacious dog park at my complex with multiple fenced areas for your dog! If needed, I can crate or keep your pet leashed. If checking in on a pet in their home, I will be respectful and considerate.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Aurora is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 12,481 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Aurora. 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.
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 Aurora 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Aurora with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
