“Brian and his family were great. They treated our fur ball with love and attention. Brian sent pictures and videos every day. It was great to see the dog enjoying his stay with Brian.”
“Lizzie took exceptional care of my dog for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. El is a sensitive dog who needs time to warm up to new people, but Lizzie was incredibly patient, understanding, and attentive from the very beginning. She took the time to earn El's trust and made sure she felt comfortable and safe throughout stay. What I appreciated most was Lizzie's communication. Lizzie sent photos every day and provided regular updates on how El was doing, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the updates that she genuinely cared about El's well-being and was paying close attention to El's needs. When I picked El up, she looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It's not easy to find someone who can connect with a sensitive dog, but Lizzie did an amazing job. I would absolutely trust her with El again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.”
“Extremely satisfied with the kindness and care Angelica and her family showed my dog while he stayed with them. He definitely enjoyed himself making new friends. Will be rebooking”
“I was in a pinch to find someone quick to watch my dog. I was very hesitant to take my dog to a boarding place with lots of other animals and not knowing how much attention she would get. Then a friend recommended rover.com. Quickly I located Julie's family and have several conversations with her and her husband. What a great surprise! They watched my dog for 5 days and I could have felt more at ease. I received at a minimum, two photos a day with her playing in the yard or with their children. This could not have went better. I would highly recommend this family to watch your dog. I know i will use them on all future vacations! Awesome job guys!”
“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.”
“Hey pet parents, have I got a recommendation for you! Kristine and her daughter stepped up last minute to take care of my furry friend, and let me tell you, they were amazing. Not only did Kristine provide regular updates and photos, but her daughter even taught my dog some new tricks. Talk about going above and beyond! If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I can confidently say that Kristine is the one to call. Don't stress about leaving your pup behind, trust me, they'll be in good hands with Kristine. So go ahead and give her a shout, you won't regret it!”
“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.”
“Katie took such amazing care of my pup Max! She sent me daily photos and videos and even gave my little guy a ‘report card’ and treats when I picked him up! I could rule tell she cared very well for him while he was with her and I will book again in the future for sure! Thank you Katie for making Max’s stay so great!!”
“Pennie was wonderful. I had never left my golden retriever with anyone. Pennie kept in touch and sent a lot of pictures showing Abbey was doing well. I can tell she was well cared for. I will definitely use Pennie again.”
“My stella had a nice time staying with them. I received text each day telling me how the night went. Even when I came to pick her up they were on a walk with her. I will use there service again.”
“Pat went above and beyond to care for our senior pup who is prone to some anxiety. She took care of our dog as if she were her own. She provided lots of updates and pictures and we knew that our girl was in very good hands. Pat has a nice, big and fenced-in backyard which we know our dog enjoyed exploring. Communication was quick and easy from the meet and greet through the entire visit. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Linda and George took amazing care of my pup. They sent update photos everyday and even took my pup out and about, which he loved every second of it! I would 1000% recommend them for any type of dog sitting and I know my pup can’t wait for the next trip back!”
“Kimberly is a very good communicator-- promptly responds, sends photos, etc. She was easy-going and flexible when my timing for pick up had to change-- much appreciated! She is a DOG PERSON - loves dogs!”
“Cai LOVES staying with Kendall and her sweet family. As we were pulling up, I ran into her and her husband, who had just come back from Jewel with femur bones for the pups! Cai came home exhausted and happy, and Kendall kept me updated with photos and anecdotes about Cai loving on her 2 year old, and all of her adventures for the day. Cai loves staying with you guys - thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby while I was away.”
“Kimberly and her family were great! They were easy to work with and took great care of our dog. Kimberly kept us updated with daily pictures and text messages throughout our dog’s stay. From the meet and greet through the booking, it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. I would recommend Kimberly and plan to use her again for future bookings.”
“Robynn was by far one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. She took great care to make sure my Boston Terrier was acclimated to her space and would get along with the other dogs in her home at the time. She was also very flexible and accommodating with pick-up/drop-off times and is amazing with communication and providing photo and video updates during my pet’s stay with her. I will certainly be booking with her again in the future!”
“We feel so lucky that we found Janet! Our dog was not a fit for commercial boarding and doggie daycamps - it was just too overwhelming and loud for her. But, she took to Janet and her family very quickly and always comes home happy, well cared for, and tired out from plenty of playtime. She's the best!”
“This was the first time we have used a sitter for our pup outside of family or close friends, and Ashley and her family were simply wonderful. She provided daily updates, fun photos and videos, and gave me comfort that our pup was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Ashley, and we will be return visitors!”

Pet 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!

There are 2,297 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Aurora. About 92% of Aurora sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
