“I highly recommend Peggy to anyone who wants someone they can trust with their pet! Prior to my dog’s stay with her, we met with her so she could ask some detailed questions about my dogs preferences and her home is “dog proof” as she says so my dog was able to explore a bit before she stayed with Peggy! Overall, Peggy was very communicative and very sweet with my dog and I felt like I was leaving my dog with a trusted friend!”
“Leslie did a great job with my Marley. Marley is a very anxious dog and he had a blast with Leslie. I will leave for my work trip in a couple weeks knowing that he is in good hands and being well cared for! 🤍”
“We are so glad Mocha stayed at Keith’s house over the holidays because he was treated like “family”! Keith took the time to get to know Mocha’s needs and took excellent care of him. As Mocha gets older, we worry more about leaving him, so seeing pictures of him curled up on a lap let us know that he felt happy and safe! Keith was flexible and easy to communicate with. We hope Mocha will get the chance to stay with him again!”
“My dog sitter Fanny was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my puppy was in great hands. I would absolutely use her again”
“Katy looked after my young puppy for 3 nights and she was very patient with her throughout, even when my puppy was being difficult. I can’t rate her highly enough for the great job she did. She’s definitely a very reliable and responsible dogsitter.”
“Selena is amazing! Crash is my baby boy and not only did she get him to get comfortable with other dogs but even got him to go on walks with other dogs!! Thank you so much for you amazing hospitality, she sent many pictures and video and updates reassuring me during my time gone. I will definitely be booking with Selena any time I will need boarding.”
“This is my third time leaving my dog with Vanessa, and I couldn’t be happier. My pup gets so excited every time we arrive at her house ! She cares for him with so much love, follows all feeding instructions, takes him on walks, and sends daily photos and videos. It’s such a comfort seeing him so happy and relaxed with her and her family ,it definitely eases the guilt while you're away on vacation Thank you, Vanessa, for taking such wonderful care of my little one !”
“Scout has only been boarded with one family in the last 4 years. When they cancelled last minute Valerie jumped in with short notice and took Scout in for the weekend. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. I will absolutely use her again!”
“We have left our dog with Beatrice on 2 different vacations so far and we couldn’t be happier. She treats our Ivy so well and gives us peace of mind while we are away.”
About: My name is Sandra and I’m 28 years old. I have two furry family members; Bonbon, an 11 year old poodle mix, and Wally, a 3 year old collie mix. I currently work as a Dog Groomer, but have about 6 years of experience in the Dog Daycare industry. My past jobs have given me the experience needed to handle and care for dogs of all sizes. They’ve also taught me how to greet an unfamiliar dog, how to do feedings for various dogs, administer medication, and how to detect signs of aggression and fear. With my personal experience and professional experience, I am well equipped to handle dogs in all stages of life. With that being said, It takes patience, hard work, and honesty to care for a dog. My offered services to clients are met with the highest of standards. I believe in giving 100% in all work that I do, meaning you’ll never receive less than excellent care for your best friend. It’s difficult to leave your dog in the hands of a stranger, however, I always treat every dog the way I would want my dog to be treated: like family. If you have any questions regarding my services, please feel free to reach out! I am fully committed to Rover, meaning I have full availability, and can give your furry family members my full attention 7 days a week. I care for your pets the way I would care for my own. Every furry family member is different, and you know them best. I can guarantee my care will reflect the dog’s lifestyle. Whether you crate at home, or your pet snuggles in bed with yourself; I aim to keep the routine as close as possible to that at home.
“Balbina took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town. He was in high spirits when I picked him up, and she kept me updated throughout his stay. Will rebook in the future.”
“Katie and Timothy were absolutely fantastic! Exceeded my expectations and couldn’t have been more happy. They treated Dexter like part of their family, took him for walks and he adjusted so quickly in their home. I received pictures and updates daily. It was comforting to see pics of Dexter so happy and wagging his tail. I don’t think he wanted to leave! I will 100% be rebooking in the future. 5+++ stars ⭐️”
“Tammy was amazing! Our dog loved hanging with her sweet and playful dog, Bugsy, and lounging with her cats. We got daily updates which helped us feel relaxed while we were away. We will definitely use her in the future. Thank you for everything!!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing find on Rover! Starting from the meet and greet, she was a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be more pleased with how well she took care of our baby girl Sophie! From updates including pictures to flexibility when we made it home early from a road trip, she made the experience so easy! I would definitely use Elizabeth again ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Aurora
We had a great experience with Vanessa! We reached out to her for a last-minute booking after our regular pet sitter became sick right before our overseas trip. Hazel, our Basset Hound, was very well cared for, and Vanessa kept us updated with messages and photos throughout her stay. We could tell that Hazel was having a great time and was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Vanessa and would definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you, Vanessa for taking such wonderful care of Hazel!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Aurora on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,311 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Aurora. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Aurora sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Aurora landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Aurora home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Aurora.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Aurora sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
