“We love Carlin! She does such a great job and even went above and beyond bringing mail/packages in. Our cat feels so comfortable with her and she is so flexible and accommodating!”
“I have both dogs and a cat, and I was worried since I'd never left the young dog before, but Melissa was great at working with all of them, always on time, and followed instructions to the letter. Would definitely rebook!”
About: Hey there – I'm an animal lover with five years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities!

“I had the pleasure of having Dana as a drop-in sitter for my dog, and she was absolutely awesome! From the very first visit, she established a great rapport with my furry friend, making him feel comfortable and cared for. She was always punctual and communicated effectively, providing detailed updates and adorable photos during each visit. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy and well-cared for. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring my dog's well-being gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Dana to anyone in need of a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. Thank you for your outstanding service! -Parks Family”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I even have my own. I also have helped family and friends over the years with their cats and dogs. Love the fur babies!. I do work full-time however, my job allows me to be flexible. I also have weekends available most of the time. Can't wait to help you out! I do not offer home sitting at my own home. I am sorry about that. I have my own pets and they're settled in their ways.
“Ben really helped us out when we were in a bind for Christmas. He sent us a ton of pictures of warner which we love. He spent time with both our cat and dog, which wasn’t required, but he went above and beyond. We are so grateful! Thank you Ben!!”
“Jenna is an amazing pet sitter. We needed someone who could come spend some time with our new puppy and she has done a great job. She always provides feedback and lets us know how her visit went along with a cute photo. We couldn’t have found a better sitter. Thank you Jenna!”
“Kelsey was so helpful in caring for my 6 week old kitten! She was communicative and sent pictures when she checked on him, everything was tidy when I got back home too. Thanks so much! :)”
About: Since being retired, I have plenty of time to help dog owners. I’m available to board, sit or walk your dog. Whatever I can do to help. I’m retired so I have the time. It helps pass the time. I lost my fur baby a few years ago after having him for 12 years. I have a fenced in yard and no current animals so each of the animals will have my undivided attention. I can gladly take care of them.
“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Emma! She was absolutely incredible with our dog, Reagan, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving and caring hands while we were away. Emma went so far above and beyond what we could have ever expected. She was incredibly attentive to Reagan’s needs and wants, and her level of care and thoughtfulness meant so much to us. What stood out most was how genuinely Emma cared about Reagan. She didn’t treat her like just another dog she was watching, she took the time to get to know her, make her feel comfortable, give her plenty of love and attention, and she always took the extra step to keep Reagan happy. Her communication throughout the week was wonderful, and her updates gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It can be really hard to leave your pet with someone else, but Emma made the entire experience so easy. We came home to a happy, comfortable, and well-loved dog, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she did. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, compassionate, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with animals, look no further than Emma. We recommend her without hesitation!”
“Madison took care of Mason while we were away and did a great job. She was reliable and kept everything running smoothly. Mason seemed comfortable and well taken care of when we got back. Communication was easy, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to have her watch him again!”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs of every kind since I have been 10. I love taking long, walks, playing, and hope to build a connection with both you and your pet. I currently work full time- I have flexibility for constant care Friday-Monday (I work remotely on Mondays and am off Fridays). Depending on location, I am able to come during my lunch to let the dogs out (a typical work day is 6-7 hours for me). I have flexibility to leave and come back during the day, or stay the entire day and spend the night! I can take your dogs on long walks, and am comfortable cleaning up messes if needed. I am also comfortable taking your pet to appointments, as well as co sleeping if they are anxious!
About: Hello! Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have loads of experience in walking and sitting for friends and family. Seniors and puppies are welcome!! I work part time, and I am in school part time (I only have one in-person class), so my schedule has many gaps in it. I’ll always greet them, say hello for a minute, Then I’ll let them outside and I’ll make sure they use the restroom. After that, I’ll refill their water and play with them until its time to go, or time for a different activity.
About: Hello! I have had a love for pets my whole life! Starting when I was 12 I began to check in on my neighbor's and family member's animals. I would walk them, feed them, stay the night with them, and love on them! As a recent high school graduate, I am free both weekdays and weekends for the summer and can put my full attention and energy into watching your pet! I always make sure that my animal's needs are taken care of first! I take them on nice long walks and play with them and give them as much attention as possible! I make sure to take them out every few hours depending on how big or small!
About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. At home, I currently have a pitbull mix and a weiner dog, so I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. I also have experience caring for cats and other family dogs over the years. I regularly dog sat a Vizsla named Henry, which gave me experience with high-energy breeds that need lots of attention, exercise, and affection. In addition to pet care, I currently work as a nanny for a family with a French Bulldog and a Bernedoodle, so I’m around dogs every day and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is something that’s naturally built into my everyday life and routine. My dogs are a huge part of my day, whether it’s waking up and letting them out first thing in the morning, feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or just spending time with them throughout the day. I’m very used to giving animals constant attention, comfort, and structure because that’s just how I’ve always cared for my own pets. Having both a pitbull mix and a weiner dog has taught me how different every dog’s personality and needs can be. One may want to cuddle while the other wants to play or go outside, so I’m very attentive to their behavior and routines. I also work as a nanny for a family with a French Bulldog and Bernedoodle, so caring for dogs is something that continues throughout my day even while I’m working. I honestly love being around animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Spending time with dogs doesn’t feel like a chore to me at all — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and naturally prioritize in my daily life. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so their pets feel comfortable, safe, and less stressed while they’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also pay close attention to their behavior and body language so I can make sure they’re happy and doing well. I understand how important it is for owners to trust the person staying in their home with their pets, so I’m very respectful, dependable, and clean. I make sure the home stays tidy, follow any instructions carefully, and keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they know their pets are being well cared for. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making them feel loved and comfortable while their family is away.
“The dogs seemed happy, I loved the pictures that she sent, and she kept in touch when there was a sl change in time. House was kept nice and clean too. We definitely will use her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Aurora is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 2,611 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
