“Saunie was great with our girls! She played frisbee with my Aussie while we talked during the meet & greet when she absolutely didnt have to and went out of her way to find out where running water sound was coming from (turns out my husband left the downstairs bathroom faucet on by accident right before we left town) and to stay extra time with the girls to make sure the temp inside our house cooled down and the girls were ok. All those extra little things are so above and beyond and we really appreciated it! Would highly recommend and trust with our girls again! Thank you Saunie!!”
“Micki takes great care of my dogs, they absolutely love her. Very thankful to find a reliable and trustworthy person to watch my furry family members!”
“Stephany was absolutely amazing!! We have never used a sitter before and were a bit nervous. We also had to book last minute due to an unexpected emergency. She was so thorough in explaining everything at our meet & greet, and her pricing was fair. She went above and beyond while caring for our two cats and a dog, sending pictures and full summaries of how her visits went. She even did more than we asked such as setting our trash out for pick up and scooping the litter box multiple times. We were fully comfortable leaving our pets in her care and appreciated her flexibility. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Olivia did a fantastic job. I had to leave town very short notice so I did not get to have a meet/greet prior to my departure. Olivia made me feel comfortable and sent tons of pics of my 2 happy dogs. She was timely and very efficient , neither of my dogs had a accident inside.(my frenchie had in the past with other sitters). I will definitely use Rover and Olivia again! Thanks!!”
“Caroline was great! Very flexible and communicative. We were in such a pinch and it was great to have someone there for our boys. She does mainly dogs but as a cat parent she was also wonderful. Thank you Caroline!”

“Ashley is wonderful. She helped care for my two dogs while I was at a conference. It was her first time meeting them, and she seemed to be completely comfortable. This is a news city for us so it was a great relief to have great care.”
“Anna was wonderful! She did such a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away. She had excellent communication and kept my cats super happy! I would highly recommend her!”
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.
“Highly recommend! She pays extra attention to the doggos, learning their personalities. Very reliable. Did everything we asked and more. Will definitely use her again 🐾”
About: I have 3 years of professional dog sitting experience. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I always look out for your pet's overall health and will constantly provide you with updates on how your baby is doing! I have two cats, Linus and Meow, and one mini dachshund, Franklin, in my home. I work from home three days a week and go to the office twice a week for 4-5 hours. I am able to take breaks to play, walk, and take care of your babies. With my work schedule, I am able to walk dogs several times a day. I do have pets of my own, but my partner will be able to take care of them while I am away. My biggest wish is for your fur kids to be as comfortable as possible while you are on your well deserved vacation! I have been doing dog walks and sittings on Rover and Wag for three years, with 100% positive reviews! For house sitting, just let me know what I need to do to keep your pups and cats happy. Feel free to message me to schedule a meet and greet. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to ask me! I work from home three days a week (two days in office for 4-5 hours) and am able to take breaks to come check on your pets. I can also do an at home stay and watch your pet all day. I do have pets of my own, but my partner will be able to take care of them while I am away. I make sure there is food in the bowl and fresh water twice a day, or on their schedule. I clean cat boxes daily and I make sure that dogs are let out every 4-6 hours or as needed to prevent accidents.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 9 years old. I grew up with boxers and australian shepherds, but have cared for labs, goldens, pit mixes, and a husky! I trained my rescue husky and managed to help her become a well behaved member of the family. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs do, and I love to spoil the dogs I care for. I work remote 3 days a week and in-office 2 days a week. I live across the street from my work and have ample time to go home every 3-4 hours to walk/play with your dog! For walks/potty breaks/social visits, I have a lot of flexibility on the days where I work from home. I’m an early riser and love to get a walk in before my day starts. I’m happy to prepare meals in the kitchen if your dog has any special dietary needs (or if you like to feed them whole foods).
About: I have cared for dogs all my life. Growing up we fostered many pups and cats. I have had many elderly pets and have experience with distributing medication. Your pet will always be the center of my attention! If you are a repeat customer and my calendar is blocked, text me! I can make acceptions for you as a thank you for loyalty! I can provide baths upon request! I also love to walk pups and get them plenty of exercise! I work from home most days. On days I am required to be in the office I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule I always strive to create a safe and trusting environment for pets, such as ensuring hazardous materials or cleaning products are stored and out of your pets reach. Iam always diligent about following pet parent instructions.
“So glad we found Gisselle. From the moment my dogs met her, they warmed up immediately — which says a lot. She was incredibly responsive to all of our communication and kept us updated the whole time. I've already planned to rebook with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
About: I have been a reliable source for friends and family when it comes to taking care of their beloved pets. I have experience administering medicines, walking dogs that like to tug a little (or a lot) more on the leash, and being a loving companion. I currently work part-time during the weeks with occasional rehearsals and performances during the weekend. I will always be available to check back in with your pets at least every 6 hours to provide more food, take them for a walk, and play with them! I love watching after pets and spoiling them, but I am also able to maintain strict boundaries about where your pets are allowed in the house and when/if they need to be kept in a kennel.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Aurora
Serena was amazing! She came for a mid-day visit while we were at work. Our dog gets nervous and shy and Serena was so patient with her. When our dog refused to go outside during her visit, she volunteered to come back later in the day to make sure she got a trip outside. On the return trip she was able to get her outside and even went above and beyond to bring in a package for us and clean up after the dog. She was very communicative and responsive. Thank you Serena!
Victoria is great! She's timely, communicative, and she's actually put in the effort to develop a relationship with our pets (cat + dog). They feel safe and comfortable around her. She has also been nice and flexible enough to work around unexpected situations and just very understanding overall. Would 100% recommend working with her.

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 .

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 .
