About: I've been a pet sitter, groomer, been involved in boarding, training, daycare, and even swimming dogs. I also grew up with farm animals my whole life. I am very hardworking and can administer meds and solve problems when needed. I am currently working part time at a boarding facility where I play with and clean up after dogs all day. I also volunteer as a trainer in my free time. I live on a farm so I have experience with multiple different kinds of animals and almost every single animal ive ever met has loved me! I am very loving and respectful towards all animals and am able to problem solve when needed and administer meds if needed.
“Melanie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in good hands. She took such loving care of him, sent me daily photos and updates, and made sure he stuck to his routine. It’s so hard to find someone you can truly trust, but Melanie went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog treated like family! 💕🐶”
“Excellent!!! Our pups loved having Kimberly here and I have a very good feeling they were well loved!! She communicated daily, sent pictures and updates which was very nice - definitely recommend and will use again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 4 years. Friends and family always come home to a happy pooch! I'll also ensure your fur babys wellbeing by providing appropriate food and water. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine, not just a side task. I am available full-time during the week to ensure your fur baby receives dependable, loving, and structured care. I have a fenced yard were your fur baby can run and play. If your fur baby needs assistance with medication you can ensure I will be there to make sure their medication is taken on time.
“Shannon was absolutely fantastic. This is our first experience with Rover and based on Shannon's care and concern for our dog, we've already decided to hire her next time we're out of town. She treated our dogs so well and went above and beyond. We highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who is trustworthy and who will care for your dog as if it was hers.”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from playful puppies to sweet seniors needing a gentler approach. I’m patient, reliable, and love making pets feel safe, loved, and happy. I also have experience with leash training, basic commands, and supporting dogs with special routines or sensitivities. Whether your pup needs a peaceful walk or a burst of playtime, I’ll meet them where they’re at and care for them like my own. I'm currently switching from full-time teaching to part-time nannying time so my schedule is about to open up greatly starting in June. Currently, I am available Mondays after 3, Tuesdays after 4, Thursdays after 5, and Fridays after 4. Once my other job is more structured, I will be adding significantly more available times throughout the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so they feel secure and at ease. Whether in your home or on a walk, I stay alert and calm, keeping a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. I use positive reinforcement, never force interactions, and give plenty of love and patience. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family—because that’s what they are.
“Corina stayed with my senior dog and cat while I was at a work meeting. My request was a little last minute but she was great to schedule and meet/greet quickly. She took great care of my fur babies and was patient with the senior needs of the dog, who is 17 years old. She has past experience with senior dogs so that was a plus. She responded quickly when I checked on them and sent photos. The house was clean and in order when I got home and the animals were not stressed. I would book Corina again.”
About: I grew up taking care of and loving dogs and cats alike. I have always been passionate about my love for furry friends. I’ve spent time in the past volunteering at an animal shelter as well as cat/dog sitting for family members for extended periods of time. I adopted my very own beloved cat in 2020. I have experience with kittens, puppies, and caring for senior dogs. I would love to expand my love for animals to helping others with care for their precious furry family members. I am currently doing some independent contractor work and have a very flexible and open schedule. I am available for care most hours of weekdays and most weekends as well. I am very patient and understanding of each pet’s individual needs and personality and am more than willing to accommodate any needs. I understand firsthand just how important our pets are to us and will go out of my way to give my clients peace of mind and trust in my ability to care for their beloved pets. I am careful to read body language of each individual animal to gain their trust over time - once I do it’s such a rewarding feeling.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working at Simple EJ’s 4PM to 10 PM every night, but Sundays. I also have class midday Monday-Thursday. Other than that, the rest of the time is for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Carly was absolutely fantastic! Carly communicated throughout the time I was gone and let me know how my dog was doing. My dog was super well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Don took great care of my girls! My younger dog can be pretty nervous around strangers, but she warmed up to him! Very conscientious, kept me updated with pics and detailed messages throughout my time away. Thanks, Don!”
“Erika was wonderful with our dogs! She was great at sharing updates each day and very respectful of our home and space. She even left a sweet Easter treat for the dogs and my son when we came home! We will absolutely use her again for vacations!”
“Fantastic job with our cat— took the time to play and spend time with him. Our cat got more comfortable more quickly than he does with most sitters. During our meet and greet, you could tell he loves animals. Would book again 100%.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Aurora
Grace is wonderful with our dog! We’ve used her for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. She’s dependable and communicates well. Our big, energetic Bernadoodle Claude can be anxious, but Grace met him where he was, gave him time to explore, and let him set the pace. Claude can be stubborn: not want to come in the house or lay down and not want to get up on walks. Grace handled all this with ease. We feel very comfortable knowing he’s in her care! And - she takes the best pics ! 😊
Haley took wonderful care of our high energy dogs, Grace the Maverick! Grace is an 18-month old vocal German Shepherd (large dog), which can be intimidating. Maverick is an active Husky, full of attitude and personality, who takes a little bit to warm up to new people. They both loved Haley and got plenty of walks, backyard play sessions, and snuggles to keep them in their routine and happy while we were away! We got so many quality pictures and updates all week long. We felt confident they were in great hands!
Corina stayed with my senior dog and cat while I was at a work meeting. My request was a little last minute but she was great to schedule and meet/greet quickly. She took great care of my fur babies and was patient with the senior needs of the dog, who is 17 years old. She has past experience with senior dogs so that was a plus. She responded quickly when I checked on them and sent photos. The house was clean and in order when I got home and the animals were not stressed. I would book Corina again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Aurora is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 per night. 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 4,826 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North 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 North 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 North 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 North 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 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.

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.
