“Emily was amazing! She did a wonderful job taking care of my baby, Hank. He even got sick one night and Emily kept me updated. She even set hourly alarms to check on him to make sure he was still doing okay. She kept me informed during the entire time I was out of town and I was able to enjoy my time away without having to worry too much about Hank. I HIGHLY recommend Emily for any pet sitting needs, but especially if you have a large breed dog! She was phenomenal.”
“Laura is the absolute best with my fussy cat! She sends so many great photos and Major absolutely loves her, which is quite the accomplishment haha. I always have some peace of mind knowing Laura will be staying at my house and taking care of Major!”
“Kelsey is fantastic. We have already booked her again. She is an animal lover- and was super with our Golden. Great experience dog and house sitting - perfect communication, reliable, professional and a happy dog.”
“Our high energy dog Costello had a great time with Tabbi! He warmed up to her right away and when we left on vacation, they were snuggling on the couch :). Tabbi kept us informed about what she and Costello did during the day. I would highly recommend Tabbi as someone responsible and caring to care for your dog.”
“Anika was wonderful! She provided great care for our dogs while we were away. Making sure to keep us updated right away. They clearly enjoyed their time with her and received lots of attention and love. She went above and beyond to help when we needed it, and we would gladly book with her again. Highly recommended!”
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I have always had pets growing up and I always help out my family and friends with taking care of their pets while they are away. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and senior pets, including feeding, basic training, and giving medications. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each pet’s needs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work in retail, so I can take care of your pets in the mornings and evenings. Occasionally, I’ll get off work in the early afternoon, so I’m also available in the afternoons. I’m quite adept at following instructions. If I ever have questions, I make sure to ask them instead of doing something and not knowing if it’s right or wrong.
About: I am currently a Second Year Veterinary Student at N.C. State CVM and an employee at Animal Emergency Hospital & Urgent Care! I have 10+ years of experience with a variety of different species ( dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, ferrets, bearded dragons, tortoises, snakes, cows, horses, goats, sheep, pigs, and chickens). With that said, I have experience providing ear, eye, skin, oral, and SQ medications, assisting in post operative care/critical care, providing medicated baths/non-medicated baths, helping our older friends walk and go to the bathroom, taking dogs on walks and to the dog park, and aiding in training routines/commands. Additionally my goal, is for you to feel comfortable in knowing your pet/home is well taken care of. I love to send text/picture updates, and I do not mind watering plants and bringing in the mail. I currently work one-two days a week on the weekends (I make my own schedule so if you book ahead we shouldn’t interfere) and I am in class 8-5pm M-F for class. I have time to take pets on walks before class/work, during my lunch break at noon-1pm, and after work or class. I work as a overnight pet sitter periodically where I stay over ones house and follow a list of instructions provided by thee owner, having time to take out the pet in the morning, again ( if a dog(s)) around 12-1pm. As class begins again at 1:10pm. I additionally can take pets on walks after school, as instructed or requested by the owner. If it is a cat(s), I get everything set before I leave the home and make it back at night. I can also stop by homes and administer medications and provide walks as needed to animals for day of visits. Ensuring I send you picture updates and texts throughout the day!
“They went above and beyond to understand our pets needs including pre-visits before we went away. Seemed to follow all our instructions effectively, and asked questions when needed. Communication is great and when we got home our pets seemed happy and content.”
“It was such a relief to have Aidan caring for my dogs at my house while I was gone on my 8 day vacation. My pups are 14 and 11 years old and have special dietary and medical needs and he was able to keep them well fed, medicated and happy! This was the first time in their whole lives that I didn't have friends or family available to watch them, but I didn't have to worry as Aidan sent pictures and kept me up to date on how things were going. If I am in this situation again Aidan will be the first person I reach out to!”
“Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️”
“Carol was wonderful! She stayed with our pups while we were away on vacation and sent daily updates and lots of great pictures every day. Pups were very happy and Carol was great about staying in touch. Will definitely use her again and definitely recommend!!!!”
“Audrey was AMAZING with Malibu! Malibu was recently adopted and very timid with new people, but Audrey did a great job and Malibu loosened up and even cuddled her sometimes. Audrey sent multiple pictures daily and checked in daily. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I am an experienced cane corso breeder and pet care specialist. I will treat your dog with love and care as if it were my own and your dog will love me in return I spend about 4 hours a day with my 3 cane corsos I live around their schedule. I spend a lot of time with them. I care for them as if they were a child. They have their own space and schedule. They have plenty of room fornstimulation and no chance at escaping.
“Great communication! ReAna took excellent care of my cat and my place and sent pictures each visit. I really appreciate the check-ins. Would definitely recommend ReAna to anyone as a cat sitter!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and compassionate, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy building trust with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want pet parents to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I work full-time, but my schedule provides flexibility that allows me to have a full week off at a time. During my time off, I have plenty of availability to dedicate to pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. I am able to plan ahead and coordinate with pet parents to ensure their pets receive consistent, reliable, and loving care. I enjoy making the most of my time off by spending it doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive proper meals, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully, keep their home clean and secure, and stay alert to any changes in behavior. I also believe communication is important, so I enjoy providing regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would at home.
“Jaina was very responsive and communicative during our trip. This was my first time hiring a petsitter so I was already nervous, but my sheltie Piper does NOT like strangers so that added more stress. Jaina worked with us to have a few (loud) meet and greets with Piper to familiarize herself with her. It took a day but Piper soon warmed up to her and settled which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. I'm very grateful to Jaina for handling our anxious dog and reassuring us with her daily and sometimes twice a day updates.”
About: I have taken care of my own animals (cats and dogs) for as long as I can remember. In addition, I have extensive volunteer experience at local animal sanctuaries such as Forever Amber Acres, Medina SPCA, Found House Cincinnati, and Cats Off the Square Medina. I have taken care of all types of animals through these jobs, and there has never been one I haven’t adored. Helping animals feel safe and cared for is my top priority. I am currently a senior at Kent State University, I have a full class schedule and another job but am available for drop in visits during weekdays and long term sitting on weekends! I will follow your instructions on what is best for your fur baby! I am happy to play with energetic pups for however long they need, will work with a standoffish kitty, and adore gentle giants like Newfies and Pitbulls!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Aurora is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $65 per night. 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.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aurora. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
