“Hailey did a great job looking after our 3 pups. She was great with communication, followed the instructions for our dog’s routine and updated us with pics of our girls. We were very pleased!”
“Honor took excellent care of my babies! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Yvette took excellent care of Bailey. He is 15 and not feeling his best; yet, she was there for him all the time she watched him while we were at a son’s wedding. Anyone who is looking for the best care for your pet, you can’t go wrong with Yvette.”
“Ann was absolutely incredible! Our English Bulldogs can be a bit high-maintenance, but she took exceptional care of them. She stayed in constant communication while we were away, sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing how much fun they were having made it so much easier for us to relax on our trip. She even went above and beyond by helping prepare our home for the winter storm that hit while we were gone. Ann was truly a blessing, and our boys already can't wait to see her again 😊”
“Theresa was an excellent house/dog sitter who works remotely and thus was at our home much of the time. Communication was excellent. We will definitely hire her again.”
“This is the 2nd time Abigail sat for Minnie, and like the 1st time she was outstanding. Minnie was excited to see Abigail and everything went great. It was so nice knowing Abigail was with Minnie, allowing us to enjoy a movie and dinner. We'll continue to ask Abigail to sit for Minnie in the future.”
“Rachel did a fabulous job taking care of my furbabies. It's nice to have someone you can trust to stay in your home. Rachel is a great communicator. I've never had a pet sitter before now who kept in constant communication about how things were going. It gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone searching for a trustworthy and caring petsitter.”
“Alicia is amazing!! I received daily updates on Milo along with pictures which put my mind at ease that he was doing well. Hiring Alicia is like having a family member care for your pet-she took him on his daily walks and loved him like he was her own. Not only did she take such good care of Milo, but also my home, going way above and beyond doing extra cleaning so that I would come home to a clean house after a week away. I am so grateful I found her and she will be my first call whenever I travel!!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience with professional in-home pet care, along with a lifetime of caring for my own dogs. I am also certified through the PPCA! I understand how important it is to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own! I truly enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship. My goal is to be a little part of your family and provide that peace of mind while you are away! Pet care is my full time job! My husband is home for my fur babies every night and morning if I need to be at overnights. And I make sure I have time to check in on my babies during the day if have a full day! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention through walks, playtime, and companionship, always practicing proper leash etiquette and respecting feeding or medication instructions. I create a calm, caring environment where pets feel secure, whether they’re playful, need a little extra patience, or are in delicate stages of life, so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
“Nidia was wonderful while watching my dog Gus for an extended weekend. She was able to come by before hand to meet Gus and myself so we could have introductions and to ensure it was a good fit. While away, she sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. When I got home it was also clear she cleaned up a bit and was a great guest!”
“Katie did an awesome job taking care of our two dogs for the week. We received daily updates and we were extremely comfortable leaving them in her hands. Our house was also as clean if not cleaner than we left it.”
“Kelley took wonderful care of our house, plants, and most importantly, our pups! When we returned home, they seemed 100% their normal selves and it was very clear they were well cared for while we were away. Will be booking again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, literally since the day I was born. My experience spans dogs, cats, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, and rabbits, giving me a deep understanding of animals with very different personalities, needs, and routines. I began fostering animals at 12 years old alongside my mom, helping care for them and place them into loving forever homes. My first job was as an in home pet sitter, and I immediately fell in love with providing animals the consistent care, attention, and comfort they need while their families are away. For over 10 years, I managed a farm, which taught me how to confidently handle multiple animals at once, follow detailed care routines, and stay calm, observant, and organized in dynamic environments. While I have years of hands on experience, my love and respect for animals has always come first. As a pet parent myself, I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Because of that, I’m intentional about clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently working remote so my schedule always is very flexible. I can provide multiple potty breaks through out the day and I also enjoy taking pets on a mid day walk. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly dogs and a quiet neighborhood perfect for our daily walks. Crating is also available per your request.
About: Hey there! I'm Emma White & I'm an outgoing, goofy pet lover. Since I was little, I've had a special place in my heart for animals. I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals & getting to know their individual personalities, routines, & needs. I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, frogs, lizards, turtles, guinea pigs, chickens, & goats. I love getting outside, playing, & giving pets plenty of attention. I'm no stranger to nervous or shy pets, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, & building trust at their own pace. I also have personal experience with large breeds, including English Mastiffs & Great Danes (they're secretly just big babies!). I have experience caring for pets with additional needs, including GI issues, allergies, vision or hearing impairments, & special dietary requirements. I'm comfortable following specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, & other care routines. I'm also Animal CPR certified, so I understand how to properly care for unexpected situations. I want you to feel just as comfortable as your pet does, so I provide regular updates & photos to keep you in the loop & give you peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a patient companion, or simply someone reliable to keep them happy, comfortable, & cared for, I'd love the opportunity to meet them! I have a pretty flexible schedule working from home. I’m able to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, & check-ins. I’m also happy to work around a pet’s normal routine & make sure they get the consistency & care they’re used to! I like to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, especially when they’re staying in their own home. Whether sticking to specific feeding times, medications, walks, or other care routines, I focus on not missing any details. During drop-ins, I make sure to provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, & companionship rather than simply checking in and leaving. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep things tidy, follow any household instructions, and ensure pets feel comfortable & cared for. You can expect regular updates & photos so you know your pets & home are in good hands.
About: I have been in love with animals since I was little. I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, a sheep, dogs and cats. I've had 9 rescue dogs throughout my life, as well as 8 niece and nephew pups and countless friends' dogs I've cared for and loved. I have also volunteered at shelters and wildlife rescues, and I've even camel sat! I have experience working with and caring for different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments and have partnered with trainers to help dogs with work through anxiety, over-stimulation, and reactivity issues. I have also cared for special needs dogs and senior dogs who need meds, diapers, traction devices, slings, and extra attention. Once I get to know a pup, I am very attuned to their behavior/mood/signs and am able to help them feel cared for and safe. I'm currently working part time, so my availability is very wide open. I'm free for walks and play time during the day or overnight stays with your pup in your home if you have a work trip or vacation. Is your dog an escape artist? I've had one of those, so I can bring a heavy wooden gate to block off doors or other areas of the house as needed. Other than that, I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own dogs, and considering that my friends have said they would like to be reincarnated as one of my dogs....

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Aurora on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,246 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aurora. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
