“Luna came back exhausted from her 3 night boarding stay from playing with her new friends there. Everything was great and Jessica was very responsive to my messages to her during the stay. Would recommend.”
“I had never boarded my little 13 year old dog. When I had my Meet and Greet with Eric, Mollie jumped up next to him and cuddled. I knew then that she picked Eric. I was gone for a week over the 4th of July and Eric took amazing care of her even with the fireworks. As far as I am concerned I will never leave her with anyone else when I need a sitter.”
“Kristine and her daughter did a wonderful job taking care of our golden retriever. He seemed very happy and content when we picked him up. He takes meds for seizure control and they were able to administer this with no issues. Plus- when I picked him up they had brushed him and had him looking so handsome !”
“Peggy was great! Our dog Groot had a wonderful time. She responded quickly to our request and thankfully, was okay booking last minute. She kept us updated regularly on how he was doing to keep our minds as ease. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Wonderful experience! This was our first time using a dog sitter, and John and his family made the entire process completely stress free. They kept me updated throughout the day, took great care of our dog, and there were no issues at all. I would definitely recommend John to any pet owner.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and enjoying spending time with them - I have helped out several families with dogsitting (overnight, feedings, walks, etc.) I like to play with them, take them for walks or just snuggling with them! Believe me I know how it is to board your love ones (dogs) and I would love to help you out and pet sit your babies! I have a very flexible schedule. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to hear from you! A little about myself- I'm 36. I have a house in Aurora. I have a dog named Scarlett, she is 2 years old. I'm completely off during the winters so I'm always available to help out even last minute. I'm off during winters so I have a very open schedule. I can help with letting your dog out if you are at a holiday party! I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I also take her on walks and to the dog park. Let me know if you have any questions.
About: For over six years, I’ve been the go to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities. I learned at a young age how important it is to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. What sets me apart is how personal I make each visit. I take time to understand what makes your pet feel secure and tailor my care to match their routine. My goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and make your time away as stress‑free as possible. I work a hybrid schedule and live in a pet and family neighborhood, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. My availability is always up to date, and I’m happy to offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits and dog walking to fit your pet’s needs. My priority is to provide exceptional care for your furry friend! I’ll keep you reassured with plenty of photo updates, ensuring your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific needs, including dietary requirements, medication, potty breaks, walks, etc.
“Yoda came home very content. By the pictures Amanda and Anton sent he looked like he was getting spoiled and was happy about it. They did a wonderful job taking care of Yoda”
“Penelope had a wonderful stay for the week. She was very well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Penelope was treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter”
“Penny stayed with Matthew and Michelle for 2 weeks while we were on a trip. This was the longest time she had ever been away from home. She settled in very well into their home and we were kept updated on a regular basis which was very much appreciated. We could tell she was happy staying with them and won’t hesitate to book her next stay. Excellent care and accommodations!! Thank you so much!!!”
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.
“Zuko had a great time with Kimberly and her lovely family. They took such good care of my dog, were extremely responsive and sent loads of pictures. Zuko would be thrilled to go back to stay with Kimberly.”
“Brian and his family were amazing! We did a meet and greet beforehand and I knew from there my dog would be in the best hands. They would send me pictures daily and would reply to me right away! Communication was great throughout the whole stay. Would definitely be using again. Thank you guys”

Donna is the BEST!!! It's our 3rd time using Donna for our dog. The 2nd & 3rd time my dog didn't even say goodbye to me he feels so comfy & loved at Donna's house (i just gave her the leash & my dog was familiar and knew was in good hands). My dog has a big fenced in yard to play, a good host dog friend in Marshall, & gets plenty of pet pets from Donna. My wife and I appreciate the picture & video updates that make our day on vacations. Next time I need a sitter & go out of town it will be with the Top Rated Dogsitter from Rover, Donna again
Haley was so wonderful to my little fur baby Leo. I was mostly wondering if he'd still like me when I got back! She was so caring and excercised him so well. She made sure he was well fed and watered! She made sure he was cool when it was hot out. She made sure he wasn't alone in the thunderstorms and fireworks. A true dog guardian!
Jenny did a great job caring for our senior dog. She communicated well and sent photos. She was very understanding of older dog issues, gave pills, and asked if I wanted her to add a little chicken to our dog’s food when she wasn’t eating much. Jenny was flexible when our flight was late. I was very pleased

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
94% of sitters in North 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 North 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 North 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Aurora. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your North 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
