“Nicole was awesome with Stella!! I loved all the notes and pictures she sent… Stella loved all the attention and treats. When I got home, she seemed really happy and well taken care of… maybe even a little spoiled lol.”
“My little chihuahua is very nervous and sometimes mean to strangers, but he took to Reba instantly thanks to her calm nature and patience. He had a great cuddle with her and is excited to see her again.”
“Laura was great! She provided drop-in visits for breakfast and dinner for my cats and kept me updated throughout. Even my shy, timid cat felt comfortable with her, which says everything. I'm so grateful and highly recommend Laura :)”
“was a bit nervous leaving my senior dog with mobility issues with a sitter but Sara quickly put me at ease with how attentive and communicative she was. thank you Sara for taking such good care of my baby ❤️”
“Liu is very kind and easy to talk to. My two cats are extremely shy, and I was honestly surprised by how quickly they felt comfortable around Liu. Because she is so gentle, my cats even came up to sniff her hand and greet her, which almost never happens with strangers. There were quite a few things to manage in my home, but Liu was very patient and remembered all the details. I’m really glad we found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Francesca is wonderful with our rescue dog Luna! She’s caring, kind, and patient, and Luna has quickly grown to love and trust her. She is also very accommodating and has accepted visits with Luna on short notice. I would highly recommend Francesca to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!”
“Fantastic sitter. My cat is not the friendliest toward new people but Melanie was able to come in and earn his trust and even brought him treats. Will book again in future. :)”
About: Lifelong Animal Lover Offering Personalized Care—Because Your Dog Deserves the Best I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. My days revolve around my own dogs and their comfort—and your pup will be treated with that same level of love, attention, and care. As a mature, responsible caregiver with excellent communication, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, along with walks tailored to their individual needs. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I’m experienced with all stages of life. I live in a house with a yard and two dogs of my own. I only take one dog (or two from same household) at a time so it’s not too much excitement. Or I’ll come to your home as needed!

“Melanie did an AMAZING job looking after our two cats and home while we were on vacation for one week. She is kind, courteous, professional, follows instructions to the letter, clearly loves all animals, etc.. We were absolutely thrilled at the job Melanie did to keep our precious kitties – who can be a handful! – safe and cared for while we were so far away. We would, without any hesitation, enlist and entrust Melanie again in the future. Highly recommended.”
About: I have cared for my one very cute schnauzer/poodle for 10 years, before she recently passed away. I now have an Australian cattle dog. I am very passionate about providing a welcoming and a great experience for your dog! I have loved animals since forever and I can't imagine not having one near me. I have done a co-op placement in the past where I worked in a vet clinic. Here, I learned Valuable skills on how to care for different breeds of dogs as well as cats. I learned different techniques on how to handle different types of behavior for the different types of dogs as well. I have also worked at a doggy daycare for 4 years where I worked with dogs of all different sizes, personalities and behavior almost every day. I love to play and exercise with doggos so anything that you need I can do it! Currently I work full time but I fit in pet care whenever I am not at work! Sometimes my schedule can vary but very rarely. As of right now, I’m just available Friday nights and all day Saturday and Sunday :) Currently, I do not offering boarding/daycare in my home as my dog can be selective with dogs. I do however offer drop in visits or daycare that can be the clients home if needed :)
“Thanks so much for visiting and taking care of Rosie. Natasha walked my dog and played with her very well, and shared many pics and videos, which makes us ease and know Rosie is very well. Natasha checked in on time and keep everything very well organized. Definitely a perfect experience for us and Rosie.”
“Christina accommodated me last minute as I had a work emergency. She arrived on time to let my dog out and replenish her food and water. She sent some pics and kept me updated before and after her visit. My dog did not want to return inside, but Christina used her dog whispering skills to get her back inside. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: My experience & genuine passion for animals makes me a reliable candidate for caring for your pets. With over 4 years of experience working with animals in a variety of animal care settings, I understand the importance of providing safe, attentive & compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic, however, I have 2-3 days off each week that I dedicate to pet care services. My experience in a veterinary setting has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, and well-being, allowing me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets of all ages and needs. At home, I have a fenced yard where your pet can safely play & explore. I also have a 4 year old cockapoo who can provide companionship your fur baby during their stay. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in client’s homes, I provide attention & companionship to help reduce any stress while you are away.
About: During the pandemic, I started to foster cats from shelter. I realized these little angels having different characters deeply saved me in the dark time. Then I met my purfect one, a shorthair domestic kitty called Pumpkin. Now I have my own cat at home, happy to pretend that I could have more lol. Before Pumpkin, I also have experience raising cats when I was back at home and at college. Sometimes, I still foster cats for my friends when they are away as Pumpkin is really chill and friendly :) Now I’m living in a nice neighborhood in Aurora, where I have two spare rooms and a decorated basement that will be perfect for me and Pumpkin to host more fur-friends 😝 We welcome healthy and nurtured/spayed cats that don’t need extra medical care and are trained to litter pot. Hope Pumpkin can make more friends so do humans! I’m currently working from home so I’m totally okay to babysit a cat or two with my homie. My schedule is quite flexible every day so I can have time playing and taking care your cats. I’m living in a townhouse with three bedrooms and a basement. The cats will be allowed anywhere in my room except for my yard - in case they escape and become dirty! I have spare rooms that can be used for separation if necessary. For cats, I have cat tree, toys and scratch board for them to play with!
About: I currently own a 3 year old Mini Poo but grew up with Dobermans, cats, birds, a rabbit and had a fish. I potty trained my current dog as we got her as a puppy and I do light grooming on her. I love dogs of all sizes but I definitely have a soft spot for large dogs since i grew up with my Dobs. I love going for dog walks and interacting with the dog however they like to play. Cuddles welcome. I'm currently working part time from home and would love to spend my days caring for animals. I enjoy going for walks and being outdoors. I drive, have a valid G licence, CPR with AED and a valid vulnerable sector screening check. I can drive to your home to care for your pet in their own environment where they feel most comfortable.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was a toddler. Love the connection I create with them. Enjoy having dogs around and keeping active by playing or heading out for walks I am currently unemployed looking for work so I am available full time at the moment. I can be in the dogs house or I can have them with me in my apartment and spend the day together :) My place is very safe for dogs and I will not let the dog unattended so they’ll be in safe hands and feel secure while in a new environment
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve owned 9 cats and 2 dogs, including rescue animals, a blind cat, and pets with medical conditions requiring special diets, medications, injections, and frequent veterinary care. I understand that every pet has unique needs and strive to provide safe, compassionate, and reliable care. I work full-time in clinical research during weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable pet care after work, as well as on weekends. Pet care has always been a part of my daily life, and I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing consistent attention and companionship. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they need. I believe every pet is happiest when their usual routine is respected. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for rescue animals, special-needs pets, and pets with medical conditions, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and wellbeing. I provide regular photo and text updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, earning their trust to care for their beloved animals. I spent a month living with my sister’s Mini Pinscher and Bedlington Terrier, gaining experience managing their high-energy routines, including daily walks and consistent feeding schedules. I had experience in a year-long boarding of a tabby cat for a friend, mastering feline care and basic grooming. I can’t wait to meet more furry friends and give them the love and attention they deserve! I provide services in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and those secret languages only the little cuties understand. I work from home two days a week and am usually home during weekends, giving me plenty of flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets. Walks, play sessions and cuddles could be tailored to your needs. While I have more availability on these days, I’m also happy to accommodate weekday requests to meet your schedule. I closely follow any feeding, medication, or exercise routines you provide to ensure continuity in their care. I’m more than happy to provide updates and photos to reassure you that your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. For cat boarding, I'm living in a house with a fenced yard by myself. The house is quiet all the time. For house sitting, I'll treat your place with respect, ensuring everything is left clean and tidy.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aurora
Yujie accommodated my last-minute request and took care of my cats so professionally. She not only made sure they were fed but also spent time playing with them! I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care while I was traveling. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Laura has been taking care of our cat over the past year. She is very patient, loving and attentive to our cat's needs and also provides timely updates and alerts for any concerns that may arise around the house. We trust her and our cat loves her too! We will definitely continue to book Laura to care for our cat! Thank you, Laura!
Jessica was wonderful with our two cats! She gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter. We’ll definitely book her again!
Somayeh was amazing with Luc and Lucy! She was so caring, reliable, and attentive, and kept us updated while checking in on them. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We would definitely book with Somayeh again! Highly recommend! ❤️
I am incredibly pleased with the care and service Nicole provided during our time away. Excellent communication! We had daily updates with pictures which gave us peace of mind. I have recommended her to our family and friends and will definitely request for her help again for our next trip.
My cats just love Isabel and Matthew. They usually aren’t very social with people but I got photos of them interacting with Isabel and Matthew every day. Drop ins were punctual and I always got photos and updates. They were willing to drag the trash to the curb- which was super helpful since I was gone for a while. When my neighbor had an emergency and needed something from my shed- they grabbed it for her. I knew my cats- and home- were in good hands. This is the second time they have done drop in visits with my cats - I would hire them again.
Sofia always makes my trips stress-free because I know my boys are in the best hands. She genuinely cares for them, treats them like her own, and always makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who loves and cares for them as much as I do. My dogs are always excited to see her, and I couldn’t recommend Sofia more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Caitlin was an excellent cat sitter to Ozzy and Luna. She took great care of them with daily pictures and check ins to let me know what was going on. The cats both enjoyed her care and were in great spirits when I got home. I would definitely hire her again to take care of my kitties!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
