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

“Valerie is an amazing and reliable dog walk walker and sitter. One of our pups had gotten sick when she checked on them, and she was comminucative and went above and beyond. I look forward to working with her again! Highly recommend!”
About: After traveling thousands of miles and leaving my home country, I also had to leave my little pet in the care of the most important person in my life, my mom. My dog has always been my greatest emotional support, and being apart from him inspired me to stay connected to the love, energy, and purity that pets bring into our lives. I want to care for your pets as if they were my own, giving them all the affection, attention, and respect they deserve. I am currently dedicating myself full-time to pet care. This allows me to be 100% available to take care of your pets throughout the week. For now, I’m available 24/7 and fully committed to giving them the attention and care they need. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while in your home. I ensure they’re in a familiar environment, maintaining their routine to reduce any stress. During walks, I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and avoid potential hazards. I respect your home, following any specific guidelines you provide, and ensure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to create a trustworthy and safe experience for both you and your furry friend!
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. We've had cats, a dog, and several guinea pigs so I am familiar with their behaviors. I've been pet sitting through Rover now for almost 3 years. I’ve volunteered at anderson animal shelter with the cats and a few years ago I volunteered in the wildlife department there and learned to feed baby birds. I have incubated three different litters of abandoned duck eggs and raised them for about a week before giving them to the shelter to live a proper duck life. I currently am not employed but I am in nursing school at Aurora University. Im still able to petsit if it works with my class and clinical schedule. This summer I’ll be available full time! I make sure every animal is well cared for. I have lots of patience for animals and will do whatever is necessary to make sure they eat and go potty. It's important to me that the animals are comfortable with myself, so I will spend extra time with them in order to get them to that point.
About: I have had at least a part in caring for dogs since I was five years old, when my family adopted our West Highland White Terrier. Since I was little, I have been a dog lover. After graduating college, I adopted my first golden retriever puppy, and I now currently have a five year old English Cream Golden Retriever. I've house trained both of my golden retrievers, and have experience with everywhere from eight week old puppies needing to be house broken through senior dogs. I make sure to take the time every day to provide both mental stimulation, and physical exercise to my own English Cream Golden Retriever, and make it a goal to always be teaching him a new trick. Whether you're looking for someone to play with/walk your fur baby, or if you're looking for him/her to have a safe place to stay while you're away, I will always make sure to provide them the same care and love like I would my own. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, so I am able to take time regularly throughout the day and night to play, walk, and let your pup run around in the backyard. I have a fenced in back yard and a five year old English Cream Golden Retriever (and all of his toys) to keep your fur baby occupied.
About: I’ve handled pets of my own and have provided at home care for friends or family members my whole life. When needed I’ve boarded animals at my own home for friends or family. There’s nothing like a good break with furry friends that helps the day go by. Currently I have a flexible scheduled and enjoy the opportunity. I always make sure that animals are given loving attention. It’s important that they are provided with the bathroom, sleeping and toy accommodations they deserve and the exercise they need. I understand the need for routine.
“Lluvya was a blessing to have during my time in Champaign. She was very professional & went out of her way to ensure my bingo was taken care of and that was getting the best treatment possible! Would book again! Thank you!”
About: Hello! My name is Caley and I’m so excited to meet you and your fur babies!! I’ve had pets my entire life ranging from dogs to fish to hamsters and I’ve always had a passion for animals. Many of my friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets and I hope you can too!

I have a dog named Sevo, a cat named Romeo, another cat named Mama’s, and I currently rescued 6 cats from my previous residence and gave them loving homes! Because I have dogs at home, I’m very familiar in the care needed to care for pets. One of my dogs has a disability so I’m also familiar with the patience and care needed to take care of the pets that need a little extra attention. I will provide the correct care for your animals no matter what it is.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Aurora
Morgan was fantastic! She came reliably as promised, on time every day we agreed on for the week of dog walking. Her communication was excellent, and she worked very well with our somewhat challenging dogs, showing patience, persistence, and creativity to get them to trust her. She walked them for the full hour I had asked for, even though the weather was very hot and humid. But she showed good judgement on the day that a thunderstorm hit during the walk, and my dogs were scared of the storm. That day she wisely brought them home early. She communicated all of this very clearly and in a timely manner, using Rover report cards immediately after every walk. I hope we have another opportunity to have Morgan care for our pets, because she did such an excellent job.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Aurora on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,293 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Aurora. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Aurora. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Aurora.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aurora. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
