“Sheila was communicative and sent pictures and videos to let us know how our pups were doing. We appreciate her living on our pups while we were away. 10/10 would book again 🤗”
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).
“Jaxon was an outstanding house/pet sitter. He followed instructions exactly and I think the dogs miss him. He left the house clean and tidy and we will definitely be using his services again in the future.”
“Taylor is an amazing house sitter, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets! He was respectful of our home, took great care of Sophie, and gave us peace of mind while we were away for the weekend. He kept us updated with photos and was always quick to reach out if he had any questions. It was clear that Sophie was well cared for and got plenty of attention and playtime. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house. We’d absolutely book with Taylor again!”
“Caitlyn was absolutely fantastic with our two Golden Retrievers! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. One of our Goldens ended up needing some unexpected, last-minute special care, and Caitlyn handled everything without hesitation. She was attentive, compassionate, and communicated with us every step of the way, making what could have been a stressful situation much easier. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Caitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Saunie is so kind and communicative. She gives my dogs special long walks that no other sitters do. She is ultra- responsible and trustworthy. She really puts my pets’ care number one on her priority list when she’s housesitting. I feel fortunate when I get to have her in my home.”
“Alexus took amazing care of my golden doodle and our house over Thanksgiving holiday week. Doggie was happy and calm and the regular updates and pics were great!! Will absolutely rebook the next time we need a dog sitter 💗💗”
“Anny did a fantastic job looking after my pup. She consistently sent me pictures and updates. I definitely felt comfortable with her taking care of my dog! She also took fantastic care of my home. Would definitely recommend!”
“Stephany was a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our dog and our house. She was an excellent communicator and we will definitely use her again.”
“Sara and Erin were great to work with and took good care of our home and pets. We will keep them on our short list for future house sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Fantastic care for our Dog and home. She house sat for us over labor day weekend. The home was in good order and out little boy looked happy and well cared for. Provided lots of great pictures and updates everyday. Was able to handle our 65lbs boy that is quite reactive and pulls on the leash. Had no concerns and full piece of mind on our trip. I wouldn't hesitate to book Madison again.”
“Chanel is personable and professional! She took her responsibilities seriously and made sure she knew just how to take care of our animals and home. The animals were well taken care of and exercised and she left our home even cleaner than she found it! We would highly recommend using her for your animals as we plan to again!”
“Kiyara was an amazing sitter for my older dog. She was very respectful and accommodated for any of his needs. He was so comfortable with her and he is not usually with newer people. She treated him amazing and was the perfect sitter for him. I would 100% recommend and I will be booking again in the future!!”
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Viktoriia was seriously amazing with our dogs. She was prompt in coming letting them outside, sent pics of them running around, and gave them the perfect amount of attention. We will definitely use her again!”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“Kelsey did a great job with our dog Pollo and I would certainly use her again. Before we went on vacation, I had planted a number of new small plants in our yard and also asked her to regularly water them. The dog and all the plants were happy and healthy when we returned!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aurora
I am new to Rover and was really skeptical to try something like this but Sheila changed my view. She gave us peace of mind while on vacation. She constantly sent an update with pictures and videos. She is very accommodating and flexible. She even cleaned our house. I am so happy because we finally found someone we can trust to take care of our Bruno while we are away. I will absolutely book her again in the future. Thank you, Sheila.
This was our very first time using Rover and we couldn’t have gotten luckier! Melanie made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, as one of our dogs is very particular on who she likes. Our dog liked her immediately and that was such a great feeling! Melanie sent updates and photos every single day and that made leaving them so much easier! Both of our dogs seemed to genuinely love having her there with them and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dogs and our home! We will most definitely be booking with Melanie again!
Sara & Erin sent messages and pictures each day multiple times a day to let us know the pups were doing well. They went above and beyond and stripped our bedsheets and ran our Roomba. Our boys seemed very content and we are glad we have them booked for another vacation!
Fantastic care for our Dog and home. She house sat for us over labor day weekend. The home was in good order and out little boy looked happy and well cared for. Provided lots of great pictures and updates everyday. Was able to handle our 65lbs boy that is quite reactive and pulls on the leash. Had no concerns and full piece of mind on our trip. I wouldn't hesitate to book Madison again.
We’ve used Rover a LOT over the years and Carmela really stands out as a sitter. We had a pretty last minute trip and she came through for a long house sitting stay. Our dog is getting older and he and the cat are both pretty needy for attention. I was happy to leave them in her care. We came home to a clean house, happy pets, and a bouquet of flowers. 10/10 one of the best 🫶
Taylor watched Pippin and Arya for me again, and just like the first time, he did a great job! He's reliable, attentive, and clearly comfortable with both dogs, which made it easy to relax while I was away. Great communication throughout, and the dogs were happy and well cared for.
Sarah is amazing! She takes such good care of all our pets, big and small. She keeps our house just like we're there. She communicates frequently and keeps us appraised of all the happenings. We love her, our pets love her, and we are so happy to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Aurora on Rover is $47.38 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,261 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aurora. 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 Aurora 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 Aurora 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 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!
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
