“We have used Theresa multiple times and already have her booked for two more future dates. She keeps our fur baby’s routine and it is clear she loves animals. We will continue using her and would highly recommend her!!”
“This was our third time having Rachel in our home. She was on time, as always. Our three girls love to see her drive up, as do we. She is pleasant, courteous, and definitely loves our girls(and they love her). She sends updates and pictures, and always responds to me when I want to check in. If she needs to leave to take care of her own dogs, she lets me know and isn't ever gone long. We have a special needs blind baby, and a hyper-active Border Collie. Rachel is spot on as far as accommodating their needs, as well as being a knowledgeable dog person. Our home is always as we left it when we get back. We will be using her every time we need to leave town in the future. I'd recommend her to anyone, anytime! We feel safe with her being with our babies when we can't be.”
“I’m a helicopter mom to my fur babies, but Nidia makes it so easy for me to actually relax and enjoy myself while I’m away from home. She is really great about my cats’ routines and always is mindful of my instructions for their care, which I really appreciate! She’s also punctual, reliable and communicative, which are all big pluses especially if I’m far from home. My cats also love her, and are very comfortable around her. Nidia also maintains cleanliness in the house, takes in my packages, etc. all bonuses! Honestly I am SO glad I found her to take care of my cats while I’m away, because I actually am able to focus on my work or vacation and not worry about how my cats are doing or if they’re well taken care of. She’s already watched them 3 times for me, in a span of less than 6 months and I know that I will be using her services every time when I’m away. If you’re on the fence about getting a sitter, here’s your sign to trust Nidia. She is the best!”
“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!!”
“Caitlin was fantastic! This was our first experience using Rover and leaving our pups for five days. She kept us informed the entire time, sending updates and pictures of our dogs. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned, just as we left it. Our pups got along wonderfully with her, and we will definitely be booking her again for dog sitting.”
About: I currently a part time nails tech, I went to people houses and every single client who have dogs and they're so friendly so I would like to join in the team and want to become a sitter, petting and playing with them 😍 Currently my kids are out of school for summer I have panty of time to join what I love to do, even when they go back to school I can do during school hours I have a big background with fences and a cat at home, my kids would love to be around and play, hope to see your pet here with us
“Jennifer was great! She took excellent care of our 4 babies and followed all feeding and care instructions. She sent photos and showed my senior boy so much care and attention. She arrived at the agreed time and when I got home from my trip my home was in perfect condition. Will different book again if I she is available.”
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including professional dog daycare and veterinary hospital experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or attention. I’m experienced with exercise, enrichment, feeding, medications, basic training, and monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I worked in a veterinary clinic throughout the summer and am now starting school, so my availability is more flexible around my class schedule. I’m unavailable on most Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m willing to work around it from time to time. I’m available most other weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that works best for their pets! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine in every visit. My veterinary and professional animal-care experience has taught me how to safely handle pets with different temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to behavior, follow care instructions closely, and will keep you updated throughout each visit.
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was in middle school. My mom use to take us to AFV to volunteer and ever since then I have fallen in love with connecting with dogs and understanding them. I have used Rover for my own dog , Nova, and I understand the importance of updates, care, attention, play time , rest time and meal time. I have full availability to care for your pet and 100% of my time and attention will be directed to them at all times. Being a dog mom , I understand the importance of attention and love. I live on fenced in ranch! With plenty of room for play time and so many new scents to explore. We have no pool , and a completed gated property. If I am in your home I will be sure to make sure to understand every need you ask for your pet :)
About: I’ve always had an abundance of dogs and cats all throughout my life. I’ve always had large breed dogs, but I am no stranger to small breeds as well! I’ve had puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience kind of all across the board. I have four kittens that I raised and bottle fed, as well as senior cats. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 13. I also have experience as a veterinary technician! I am comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I will love your pets like they’re my own, and I am very accommodating to your schedule! I am also open to horse care as well! I do not have horses of my own, but I have a few clients that I feed for, so equine care could be discussed if needed 😊 I am starting nursing school in August, but until then I am completely free to take care of your pets. Once I start school, my schedule will change slightly, but I will still be available! I, unfortunately, cannot offer boarding, but I am more than happy to offer house sitting, overnight care, and drop in visits during the day as needed. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to do it! I can stick to a strict feeding and medication schedule if needed. I will play with your pets, or just have a lazy day if couch potato is more their style! If your pets go out at certain times, get crated, or have to be separated for feeding, I can do it. If your pet is a bit skittish with new people, I will take the time to have them get comfortable with me and avoid stressing them out in an already stressful situation. They will be in great hands 🩷
“Keri was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my home and my cat while I was away. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned, and my house was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and I would gladly book them again.”
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....
“It was nice having such a loving Momma take care of my fur babies while we were out of town. My kitties really opened up to her and enjoyed their time together. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Mark stayed at the house taking care of our 3 dogs and they loved him! We’re very happy with the attention, the updates, and specially the care he provided to them. We’ll definitely be contacting again for future trips 😊”
“Melissa was so helpful and reliable when I asked her to help watch my dog Blue 🐶. She was very friendly and super sweet towards my dog, I knew he would be in good hands when I was out of town. She sent me lots of pics and regular updates. I will definitely be reaching out to her again! 😊”
About: I have a deep love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience, including caring for my own sweet pup, Maggie. I understand that your furry friend is a cherished family member, and I'm dedicated to providing them with the same attentive, loving care while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or plenty of belly rubs, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have availability Monday through Thursday, making me perfect for daytime walks, drop-in visits, or daycare. While I am unable to work weekends without advanced notice, I can easily provide care during most people's standard work schedules. This availability can include overnight stays if planned ahead. I provide dedicated and attentive care in your home, making sure your pet’s routine, comfort, and happiness are the top priority. I follow consistent schedules for feeding and exercise, offer plenty of one-on-one attention through play and affection, and manage any specific medical or dietary needs. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is safe, secure, and receiving the highest level of love and care right at home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Aurora is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $79 per night.

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 , 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.
