“We found Jessica on Rover back in February for our large dog and have used her for overnight dog sitting ever since! Our dog is excited when we arrive and happy when we pick her up. It’s so nice to have found a reliable and kind place for her to go when we travel.”

“We are very pleased with Beatrice’s experience and caring for our 13 year old Cairn terrier Poodle mix that stayed with her for a week! That is the longest he has stayed away from us and he was in great shape when we picked him up. He was very well taken care of, and we received daily reports from her that were very reassuring. It was like a home away from home. We definitely plan to have him stay where whenever needed in the future! Thank you Beatrice!”

About: I have been taking care of all different types of animals since I was very young. My mom was a vet tech, she brought home animals to nurse back to health. We also fostered many animals. I found my love for animals then. Especially dogs and cats. I have had so many cats and dogs growing up its hard to keep count. I had had small, big and huge dogs in my lifetime. I have experience with dogs with anxiety and elderly dogs. I can administer oral medications. I have volunteered at shelters in the past. And I have also fostered dogs with several organizations. I have two dogs of my own that are both rescues. They both love all dogs and play very well with other dogs. Im a work from home dog mom. I am free for doggy daycare most days. I am also available for overnight stays and weekends. I am open to overnight stays during the week or weekends. My schedule is very flexible. My dogs are allowed on the bed and couches so your dog is too. If you dont allow that at your home I will do my best to keep your dog off of the furniture. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. I prefer your dog be microchipped and up to date on all vaccines.

“Unbelievable!!! I’ve been using Rover for quite some time now and this family…what can I say?? They were incredible!! I never expected to feel so much like part of the family and how they embraced Sergeant as part of theirs. They loved on him and he was one happy dog! Sergeant now has a new “Auntie”. I can’t say enough good about how they treated him. Obviously we will be using them again!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and set of needs, and I take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. There is a stay at home parent who can provide daily care for your pet. And a family who will be there to provide plenty of attention and love. We have a large yard with plenty of trees and a spacious home for your pet to explore. Your preference of crate or bed or couch is ok with us.

“Pennie was so fabulous. I could tell at our initial meet and greet at her home that she loves the pets she cares for and ensures the environment they're staying in suits their needs perfectly. We left our two dogs with her for a week and received pictures daily. She even let our bulldog mix who is afraid of thunder sleep in her room during three days of bad storms. I'm so happy we found Pennie after our previous dog sitter moved out of state.”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog until he passed. He was 16yrs old. I also take care of my sisters dog. He is a Husky/ German Shepard mix. My dog recently passed and I miss walking him. His daily walks were 7am and 6:30pm. I’m also opened to walking your dog on weekends. I have a huge fenced yard and a one floor home to reduce stair climbing for senior dogs. I have a car seat for small dogs and do enjoy taking them on DQ runs with the owners permission.

I am dedicated to the wellbeing of pets so you can count on a quality experience. I am sensitive to people's specific requests when it comes to the care, feeding, and sometimes medication aspects needed as well. I try to keep my customers close by for the convenience and efficiency. I am an entrepreneur and stay at home dad, so I am available and flexible to suit your pets needs throughout the day. We treat pets as another member of the family. We treat pets as part of the family, including them in the daily activities. We do a lot of walking and playing as well to get your pets exercise.

“Our experience leaving our dog Marshmallow with Adam was absolutely amazing! He was really responsive and easy to talk to and was even flexible when we had to change our plans. He took really amazing care of Marshmallow, provided great photos + updates, and it sounds like she had a great time while staying with Adam. Will definitely be asking Adam to watch Marshmallow again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a loving, caring place to leave their pets while they're away. Thanks Adam!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Aurora

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Aurora on Rover is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 2,220 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Aurora can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Aurora home-away-from-home, 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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.
