“Lindsey was wonderful with our two pugs, Penelope and Petunia! We came home to two very happy, very tired pups, which is always the best sign of a great time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in caring, capable hands. We’d happily trust Lindsey with our girls again!”
“Tabitha was absolutely amazing! She was open to meeting before watching my two boys. They loved her right away. I appreciate her communication style and her attention to detail. She went above and beyond. Came home to clean house and she did the laundry even. She’s wonderful and I most definitely hope she’s available when I go out of town again! Thank you for making my trip that much better because I knew my boys were in good hands!”

“Leaving a fearful, reactive Blue Heeler is incredibly stressful- Sydney handled everything flawlessly while house-sitting; during my absence, there happened to be tree trimming which required parking spots to be vacated, chimney inspections, and exterior repairs during hot weather (of course it just HAD to occur during the ONE period I wouldn't be home). She handled everything flawlessly including understanding my dog's triggers, respecting their boundaries during nervous moments, and took the time to build trust safely. Sydney sent fantastic updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who truly "gets" herding breeds and reactivity while being patient and gentle. I am so grateful and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Erica is terrific. She took Maddie for a long walk, made sure she had fresh water, and gave her treats. I am so relieved to know Maddie is being taken good care of our absence.”
“Ian stayed in our home to care for our 12 year old German Shepherd while we were on a 3 1/2 week long trip. He took great care of our dog and our home and made sure to check in with us periodically. We loved his short updates and pictures. Will definitely ask him and Susan again if they are available for our next trip.”
About: Pet sitter since 2006 and lifelong fur-parent. I love walking, playing, and learning your companion's personality. Rest easy knowing they are safe, loved, and happy! I'm currently taking online college courses and come January I will be working full-time remotely. I have the flexibility for plenty of walks and play with your four-legged companion. I'm very interested in finding a housesit on the OR coast for the Christmas/New Year holiday, so if you're traveling and need someone, let's talk. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your established routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide nutritious feeding, fresh water, and multiple daily walks filled with play and affection. Additionally, I prioritize home security, maintain open communication with frequent updates or photos, and treat your space with utmost respect so your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have three dogs of my own—a 10-year-old Husky, a 4-year-old Malamute, and a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. Caring for three large dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs has given me plenty of hands-on experience with walking, exercise, feeding, routines, and lots of attention. I’m especially comfortable handling larger, energetic breeds and understand that every dog has their own personality and pace. Whether your dog loves a long walk or just needs some fresh air and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Since I care for three dogs of my own every day, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m also happy to work with your dog’s normal schedule whenever possible. I’m a stay-at-home dad, proud dog dad to three wonderful dogs, and a lifelong animal lover! My Husky, Malamute, and Golden Retriever are a huge part of my family, and caring for them has taught me just how much love, patience, and attention every dog deserves. Being a stay-at-home dad has given me the opportunity to spend more time doing what I love, and I’m excited to make Rover a part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, getting outside for walks, and making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. With three large dogs of my own, I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, especially strong, energetic breeds. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll always take the time to get to know your dog, follow your instructions, and make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member!
“Sparkle was really wonderful. Our dog Rigby has had difficulty with her prey drive/cats in the past and Sparkle was very attentive to keeping our cat safe and Rigby happy during her time at our home. We received many pictures of fun times in the backyard and lazy couch time and Sparkle remained very communicative during the full stay. I would recommend her to anyone and she left our home clean and tidy which was an unexpected bonus! Thank you, Sparkle! You're the best!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Chloe! Leaving our two pups for two weeks while we were in Europe was nerve-wracking, especially since our one dog has pancreatitis. But Chloe made the entire experience stress-free. Her communication was fantastic. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos, so we always knew our furry friends were happy and well cared for. Things got even better when Chloe calmly handled a flare-up of our pup's pancreatitis. She administered the medication with ease, keeping us informed throughout the process. When we finally got home, we were greeted by two ecstatic and healthy pups. It was clear they had been showered with love and attention in our absence. Chloe is a true dog lover and a fantastic pet sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable, caring, and capable of handling unexpected situations with their pets!”
“Jordan is literally amazing! She did so well with our fur babies! They loved her. Came home to a spotless house happy dogs and I couldn’t have been more pleased! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Erin was great with Auggie! She stayed with him for 2 nights and we came home to a happy pup, and a clean house. I will definitely have Erin stay with Auggie again!”
“Kyle was great!! I really appreciated his fast response and ability to meet me and the dogs before watching them. He was great with the dogs and understood their personalities quickly, which was important to me. The dogs seemed very well cared for and happy when I returned home, and I really appreciated the photos and updates from him! He was proactive, thoughtful, and I look forward to having him back! I highly recommend him!”
About: I've been looking after dogs, primarily small ones, for quite a long time now. Have had to feed and walk and watch over them plenty of times over the years for family members. Currently unemployed, so my schedule is quite free, which includes all reasonable hours of the day. Currently unable to watch over animals at my place of living. I personally care for my own cat and one of my mother's dogs on the daily, but the house itself isn't fit for me to watch over any additional animals.
“My dog had a great time playing and snuggling with Frank. Frank was able to get my fussy dog to mostly take his eye and ear medicines on their first stay together, which is an accomplishment. Frank communicated regularly while house/pet sitting.”
“I needed a last minute cat/ house sitter so I could go help my friend post-surgery. When Lisa kindly said she could do it, I left feeling confident and happy knowing Coco was in good hands! Just as she was last time, Lisa was communicative and sent pics and videos. She took the time to play with him and brush him. She is so caring and careful with my home too! So lucky to have found her!”
“Cara was amazing! She's trustworthy, super responsive, and great in a crisis! Our two dogs got sprayed by a skunk in the middle of the night on her last night sitting and she went above and beyond to help. She bathed the dogs, scrubbed the house to minimize the scent, washed blankets & towels, she even went out and bought a professional skunk deodorizer. When our flight was delayed, she came back before bedtime to check on our girls, let them out again, and made sure they had everything they needed until we made in home late. If I could give Cara more than 5 stars, I definitely would! I will for sure be booking with Cara again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,583 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aurora. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
