“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! 🤍”
“Peggy is absolutely amazing! I can tell our dog is completely loved and taken care very well. I am very happy to find Peggy, she and her husband are true dog lover and takes amazing care of dogs. Their home is neat and dog friendly. Your pet will be in great hands. Definitely recommend.”
“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!”
“I want to start by saying I’m no stranger to dog sitters. I’ve been in need for someone to watch my dog many of times and in the past, my sitters have all been pretty good. However, when it comes to Pallvi, I have to say she was absolutely exceptional!! Plenty of checkins thought the sitting, very understanding on pick up and drop off timing, and super competitive pricing! Easily one of the best sitters I’ve gone with this far and I’ll admit I don’t plan on using any other sitter besides her in the future. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! 10/10!!! 😊❤️💯”
“Vanessa is a phenomenal pet sitter who exemplifies professionalism, care, and passion. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and loving caregiver for their furry family members. She's an absolute gem and has earned my trust and appreciation completely.”
“The only sitter I’ll ever leave my old boy with again 😍🐾👍 Kathleen is so genuinely warm… I now have an elderly dog with a lot of medication and pain issues and she took superb care of him as if he were her own!!!! I got tons of updates and pictures and I always felt that he was in the best care!! I love the fact that her and her husband work from home so they’re always home with the animals❤️❤️ I cannot say enough good things about Kathleen. We’ve been using her for years now and she has always come through for last second dates…. Simply the best thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do.❤️❤️”
“Truly a great dog sitter and hospitality! On last minutes notice, i was able to contact Jill and she took in our Chocolate lab, Dexter, she made him feel right at home and eased any concerns we had while we did an overnight vacation. Thank you!”
“A great stay for our greyhound Happy. She is loved and well cared-for by Beatrice. Our second stay with Beatrice and it will not be our last. Happy was immediately comfortable when I dropped her off for this second stay - such a great sign that she is content and feels at home while with Beatrice.”
“Liz was a fantastic sitter! She sent us pictures daily and I knew our Parker was having her own mini vacation. She loved playing with their dog Luna and got plenty of love and snuggles.”
“Our dogs came home happy and clearly enjoyed every minute of their stay with you. Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our fur babies. We really appreciate the wonderful attention and love you gave them.”
“Fanny was fantastic! She accepted a last-minute request, saving me from missing work. She's incredibly friendly, highly responsive, and sent great photos of my two cats. Will absolutely rebook her for future boarding!”
“Viri and her family were great! She accommodated my last minute booking during the holidays! She did an excellent job, was flexible, updated with pictures and my dog seemed to enjoy himself.”
“We are so happy with the care and attention that Valerie provided. We received regular updates and videos, and I could tell from her pictures that our dog was at ease and well cared for. Our dog is fifteen so we always worry about leaving her with a kennel where she will be crated most of the day. With Valerie, she was free to roam, got plenty of outside breaks, and got all the good food she was used to. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“Balbina did great with Tallulah! Tallulah has alot of anxiety but she did great and Balbina gave her all of the 1:1 attention. I lo ed getting the updates/ pics of Tallulah!”

“Selena is quick to respond and so easy to work with! You can tell that she really loves animals - I completely trusted her with my greyhound, Dahlia. Would 100% rebook!”
“We boarded our 2 little guys with Rosarin for several nights and could tell they were very well cared for. We got updates via the app on their days felt relieved they were in excellent care. Would highly recommend!”
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”
“Jackie was so wonderful and very communicative. She sent multiple photos every day and my puppy was clearly super happy! My dog went on multiple walks per day and came home happy, healthy, and loved ❤️”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
