“This was our first time working with Stephany and she was wonderful with our 6 year old dog, Nico. He normally gets really sad and anxious when we go out of town but with Stephany he was very happy! She sent me updates twice a day letting me know how things were going and also sent pictures so I could see that Nico was doing really well. I really appreciated that communication and it put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my trip. We will definitely work with her again and I highly recommend her! Thank you Stephany!”
“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! 😊”
“Sara and Erin did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs and my chickens for the week! They were diligent, communicative and left the house spotless. Thank you!!”
“Tiffany was amazing! She stopped by every other day and hung out with my cat for 30 min! She let him out, gave him water and checked on my house! I will definitely be using her for future sitting needs.”
“Saunie is great! She was very communicative and I appreciate her willingness to adjust my stay times. Everything was tidy and well cared for and my dog was well cared for. Recommend!”
“First time rover user here and Caitlyn made the process so easy! She sent me pictures and updates at least twice a day. She even gave one of my dogs ear drops every day, since Lemon got an ear infection the same day we left town! My pups were so happy with Caitlyn, we will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Kelsey was a wonderful petsitter for our sweet girl. She came out early to meet her, communicated throughout our stay and sent lots of pictures. She also took great care of our house. I would highly recommend her and will definitely rebook with her.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We have worked with Alex twice now, and each time we’ve been even more impressed with the care he provides our dogs. He truly goes above and beyond what we ask of him, and our dogs always seem so happy and well cared for with him. Alex goes out of his way to get them extra treats and even spends time working on training with them. He also makes sure the house is clean and picks up the dog poop in the backyard, which makes coming home from vacation so much easier and more relaxing. He is incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful, and we feel completely comfortable knowing our dogs are in his care. We will absolutely continue to use Alex in the future!”
“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.”
“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 🤗”
“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.”
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.
About: My wife and I currently have 3 large dogs and 1 cat, I’m great at handling multiple dogs on walks! I’ve cared for animals who needed daily medication and extra attention, adopted and raised a pregnant cat providing care to her and her kittens until they could be adopted, and have provided palliative care for senior dogs and cats. I’ve always loved animals; I have owned everything from frogs to finches, I studied biology at university, and I volunteered at wildlife rescue centers for years. One of my favorite experiences was helping several abandoned raccoon kits by providing feedings and keeping their space clean and quiet. Helped with keeping animals calm while the vet performed diagnostics. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check in on the pets when you’re away as often as you’d like. I am gentle and patient with dogs and cats, my pets are my kids, I walk mine daily and really look forward to seeing their happy faces all the time

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aurora
Madison is fantastic! My dog usually waits restlessly at the door and barks when it opens. But even though I was returning late from a three day trip, when I walked in this time she just trotted over like I’d interrupted her living room nap. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was comfortable enough to take a long nap. Madison is also incredibly responsive and to the point.
This was my first time leaving my pup with somebody other than family and I was so nervous but Shannon went above and beyond to care for Gunner. She communicated with me the whole weekend which I so appreciated, shared photos and truly cared for Gunner as if he was her own. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter. I cannot recommend her enough! Being able to leave without worry is hard to come by (especially for me 🤪) and I felt comfortable and worry free my entire trip. Gunner can’t wait to see you again!
Melanie took amazing care of our pup, Harlow, while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure Harlow was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Harlow is very attached to us, so it meant so much that Melanie was able to make her feel comfortable and at ease while we were gone. She even took her on a hike! Melanie was also a great communicator and so easy to work with. She sent us lots of updates and photos throughout our stay, which gave us such peace of mind. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog! We couldn’t recommend Melanie more and would absolutely have her watch Harlow again!
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.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
