About: I've taken care of dogs for over 4 years. Friends and family always come home to a happy pooch! I'll also ensure your fur babys wellbeing by providing appropriate food and water. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine, not just a side task. I am available full-time during the week to ensure your fur baby receives dependable, loving, and structured care. I have a fenced yard were your fur baby can run and play. If your fur baby needs assistance with medication you can ensure I will be there to make sure their medication is taken on time.
“This was our 1st Rover experience and Lauchlan was awesome. She was attentive to our dogs and I know they loved the comfort of being at home. It allowed us to enjoy our son’s wedding. We loved the daily photo updates. We will definitely book with Lauchlan again.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for animals my whole life. I started pet-sitting in high school, ranging from brief visits with cool cats to house-sitting with feisty fidos. I’m a fan of any and all animals! My schedule is very open most days. I currently have commitments 7-9pm on Tuesdays, and 8am-12pm Wednesdays and Fridays. I’m open to working early mornings ☀️ I keep treats on me to reward positive behavior. I’m not usually especially stern with animals, but can be if given the instruction. I make sure to keep houses clean and tidy.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so taking care of animals has always been a normal part of my life. I’ve cared for my cat, Lincoln, for the past six or seven years, especially when my parents are away. I genuinely love being around animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I believe the way we treat animals says a lot about us, and I take that responsibility seriously. I also have experience caring for an older dog who needs extra attention and frequent bathroom breaks. I understand senior dogs can need a little more patience, cleanup, and care throughout the day. I’m comfortable with the extra work that comes with caring for an older pet, and I know how important it is to make sure they stay comfortable, clean, and loved. I’d love for every pet in my care to feel safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to work pet care into my routine and make sure pets get the attention they need. I’m comfortable helping with regular feeding, walks, playtime, and checking in on pets while their owners are away. And I definitely understand how important consistency is for animals, especially older dogs so I’d do my best to stick to their usual schedules and follow any instructions their owners provide. I would treat them like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’d follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime, while making sure they always have fresh water and a clean space. I’m also comfortable with the extra care older dogs may need. I’d respect the owner’s home, follow any instructions they leave, and keep them updated so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands.
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and I love to meet new animals! My home currently has 2 corgis I raised from puppies and a senior cat. I would love to meet your furry friends and be a warm, comforting presence for them during their day. I currently work full-time from home with a flexible schedule, so daytime visits can be arranged. I have wider availability on evenings and weekends, which is typically my preference. I have a lot of patience and will work hard to build a bond of trust with your pet so they will feel more secure and comfortable with a stranger in their home. I will do my best to be respectful of your home and your personal space so everyone can be comfortable and have the best experience possible.
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.
“Tami talked me through a first time visit and made me feel so comfortable! Our dog ABSOLUTELY loved her, and she sent pictures and messages the whole time she was there. The best we could ask for as first time users, and will be using again!”
About: I love animals and would like to spend more time with them and be outdoors! I would really enjoy saying Hi to your furry friend :)) I take online classes this summer and I work on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 10-4 but other than that my schedule is free! Message me about any questions. I take care of my cats at home fully and play with them everyday to ensure they get their enrichment. I walked by dog everyday before he passed away
About: Animals have been an important part of my life since I was a teenager, when my family had dogs and I learned the responsibility that comes with caring for them. Over the years, I have had both dogs and cats and have cared for them through every stage of life—from the excitement and energy of their first days with me to providing love, patience, and comfort during their final moments. These experiences have taught me that caring for a pet is about much more than feeding and walks. It’s about understanding their personalities, routines, needs, and the little things that make them feel safe and loved. I know how deeply pets become part of the family, and I would care for yours with the same kindness, attention, and respect I have always given my own. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship. Because I’m home for much of the day, your pets won’t have to spend long periods alone. I enjoy having furry companions nearby while I work and can adjust my routine to fit their individual needs and usual schedule. Whether they’re energetic and ready for a walk or happiest curled up beside me, I’m happy to give them the attention and company that makes them feel comfortable and loved. I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of keeping them comfortable, happy, and secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, companionship, and each pet’s individual routine and personality. I’m equally respectful when caring for someone’s home. I keep things clean, tidy, and secure, follow instructions carefully, and treat every home as if it were my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and happy to provide regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets and home are being well cared for.
“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.”
“Glen did an excellent job taking care of Coco. He gave her a walk, made lunch and all the required water and bathroom breaks. We will leave coco again under the excellent care of Glen.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and recently adopted and trained a dog of my own. I have taken care of small to large dogs, and love to get my exercise in with my dogs. I am a full time student, but my weekends are completely free. I can take care of dogs later in the days on weekdays, but I would need to talk in advance about my schedule. I will always keep your puppies company and keep them enriched. They will be taken out to potty on a regular basis and plenty of time to play.
About: hello! After a long break of doing what we love the most we are back at it. ❤️ my wife Shruti and I love dogs and promise to take amazing care of your pooch. we have a lab mix senior girl-Shirley and a young naughty French bulldog -Bluey. ok with giving any medication if required to.
About: I'm currently a fur mom to two dogs and one cat! I've grown up with pets, so I can guarantee that your pets will receive unlimited cuddles and attention. I have experience working at a doggie day care, monitoring and playing with around 30+ dogs per day! I'm comfortable with all breeds and all sizes. I promise that your fur babies will receive the same high-quality care you give them when under my care. I'm transitioning jobs currently, so I'm home all the time with loads of free time. I'd love to get more active walking dogs or working a second job, like pet sitting, while in the middle of this change. The care the client gives the pet will be the same care I give, if not even more. I know that when pet parents go away, there's anxiety on both ends, so I want to ensure that the pets' schedules are followed and try to keep things the same, in order to limit that anxiety.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aurora
LeTisha was absolutely amazing with our cat, Miski! From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing Miski was in such caring and trustworthy hands. LeTisha kept us updated, gave Miski so much love and attention, and treated her like family. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and that made all the difference. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend LeTisha to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Elena was fantastic caring for my hybrid savannah cat while I was away. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional pet lover. Elena communicates effectively too, which isn’t a common characteristic. I was very comfortable having her visit my cat at our home. And I could tell my cat really enjoyed her company.
I needed a last-minute drop-in visit for my rabbits while I was out of town, and she was able to help on very short notice. She communicated well, checked on my pets promptly, and made sure they had what they needed. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help when I was feeling worried. I would definitely book with her again!
Angel was such a patient, kind, and caring sitter! We just recently moved to the area and our cat is still getting used to our new apartment. Even though she has been a bit shy, Angel spent time just sitting near her and making sure she felt safe and was cared for while we were away. He sent us frequent updates so we weren't worried and was a great communicator. We will definitely book with Angel again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Aurora is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,206 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Aurora. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aurora. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
