About: I’ve worked in animal care for years now and have taken care of my own pets for years before that. I have experience with a huge variety of sizes and breeds! I’m well versed in animal behavior and temperaments. I’ve worked with puppies all the way up to senior pets who may need a little extra care or attention. I have my own pets as well and have a deep understanding how much they can mean to us. I’m currently working on my certificate for dog grooming! I have yet to start school but this is a dream I’ve had for a while now. At the moment, I’m almost completely open for sitting. I think enrichment is very important for pets. For dogs, getting outside is a must. Many breeds require a lot of stimulation throughout the day in order to stay healthy in mind and body alike. For cats, some are independent players and toys are a must. Others may like to play with a person and that’s an activity that’s very important for them. I personally feed my animals once in the morning, once at night. My dog typically gets at least one walk a day and I make sure to take him out 2-3 times a day for potty breaks. Or even more if he lets me know he has to go. My one cat is an independent player so I leave her toys in her favorite places.
“Jodi was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She understands dogs incredibly well and went above and beyond, loving my dogs as if they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. I’ll absolutely be booking Jodi again the next time we’re out of town.”
About: I have 3 large dogs in my household, all of very different personalities. On top of that, friends and family have also relied on me to take care of their pets while they are away as well. Recently, I have taken interest in animal rescue, and have helped rescue and send an injured mallard to the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors. I am currently a student at west aurora highschool, and I am a member of the national honor society. I come home to my three dogs and sometimes go to Oswego to take care of my families pets over there as well. I will be able to regularly check up on your pets and keep them well hydrated and fed. As well as going on walks to stay active.
About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.
“Chelsie has been a great reliable sitter to stop by our house when we are out of town and let our dogs out to run around. This has been the 2nd time we have hired her to care for the dogs. I’m very happy with the care she gives to our dogs. Highly recommend Chelsie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter to stop in and care for your dogs.”

I’m also a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own. A Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix!

About: I’ve loved animals ever since i was young, I got my first cat at 7. He was my personal cat that I had to take care of on my own! Ever since then i’ve had 3 cats, and 4 dogs! I’ve loved them all equally as my own and rehoused all of them to very safe environments! I currently have a 9 month old female doberman who is so well trained and such a good girl! I’m currently at home 24/7 so I need something to occupy my mind. When I learned about Rover, I knew i needed to sign up and care for other animals as if they were my own. I love being around fur babys. I have a gate at the top of my stairs which would stop any accidents. I always have poop and pee pads in my home just in case we don’t make it outside on time!
About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Pet care is at my core. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with different energy levels and needs, from playful puppies to calm senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each pet’s routine, comfort, and safety. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. On days I’m booked to watch your fur baby, that is my ultimate top priority! I will change my schedule to be there for him/her. I have a fenced in yard, and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I also have three cats. I can easily create your dog if needed. I’m fully capable of giving any medication required. When I’m watching your fur baby, I will be available the entire time. Right there, with them.
“Erin is great. One of the cats gets anxious when we leave and had a couple of accidents outside the litter box. Erin was so kind and understanding. She is the best. I feel so at ease watching my babies. I would highly recommend Erin.”
“Tami was able to provide a couple drop-ins for our pups while we were exploring Zion National park. The dogs loved her and she took great care of them! Would definitely book her again if we’re going to be back in the area”
“I was a litter nervous since I haven’t tried Rover before. I was lucky enough to have Michaela taking care of my pups. She made everything so easy and comfortable for us. My pups love her!! They enjoyed playing together when she came for drop in visit. Will definitely book again in the future! Thanks a ton !”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Aurora stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
