Highly-rated overnight sitters - Aurora
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”
“Palvi is very nice and did a great job in taking care of Snoopy over 5 days while we were on vacation. Snoopy is shy, anxious by nature & picky eater. Snoopy got comfortable with her family in short time & had good fun time playing hide & seek with her kids & her pet Corgi. We are so thankful that we found Palvi & would definitely recommend her.”
“Keith was great, our dog was well cared for and happy while he was there. He gave us updates and sent pictures as well. He is easy to work with and very responsive. We’ll be back!”
“Peggy does a great job with my Luxe. He is always so well cared for. I couldn’t ask for more. So lucky I came across her profile. She is my go to when I need to be out of town.”
“Thanks Liz for watching Beau and for being flexible with the wintry weather. We are glad that we found you! It was hard to leave our pet at Christmas time, but we felt comfortable with him in your care.”
“I am so happy that I found Jill. She couldn’t have been more attentive and caring, and she went “that extra mile.” Scottie was so happy when I picked him up.” It was like he never left home. Much better than leaving him in a kennel for 12 days. She truly loves dogs.”
“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!”
“Beatrice is the best sitter i have had so far. She kept updating me with pictures of molly and how she was doing. For most of the sitters its a side thing, Beatrice does it full time and is a complete professional about it. She loves dogs, after just a 24 hour stay she told me things about my dog that took me 2 months to figure out. Keep up the good work.”
“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 !”
“This was the first time I left my dog overnight. Trish sent me photos so I could see that Pennington was safe and happy. She was amazing and I would definitely leave my dog with her if Needed.”
“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!”
“Balbina was great! We left Simba with her for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. She took good care of our Simba and sent daily pictures and videos along with updates on his activities etc. I would highly recommend Balbina to anyone looking for dog care.”

“Miriam and Terrell are the most kind people and will 200% love on your dog while you’re away!! ((So you don’t have to look any further at more profiles!!!!!)) Cooper our 20 month old Cavapoo stayed for a few days and it was our first time away. Not only did they update with photos and videos many times throughout the day but they sent home a report card letting me know how he ate and what he did. They really went above and beyond! Cooper didn’t want to play too much with the other dogs so Miriam had him cuddled by her desk throughout the day he was able to sleep with them at night. They truly love dogs and are some of the nicest people I’ve met!! Will always use them in the future !”
“Jackie is the absolute best! She and my pup have become best buddies. She takes such good care of him. I feel so confident when he’s there and she’s amazing at sending updates and pictures too. I 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.”
“We were very nervous about finding a place for our puppy since she had never been away from us for an extended period of time. After meeting Julie and her family we were reassured that this was the very best place for our puppy! Julie and her family were amazing with our Minnie! She sent me many updates and pictures during our week away! Whenever we reached out for an additional update, Julie responded right away! Julie and her family truly care and are willing to accommodate the specific needs of each dog they care for! 100% would recommend Julie and family to anyone looking for a home away from home for their dog!”

“My first time using Rover and I am so happy with my new pet sitter Phoebe! Very punctual! Spent the hour taking such good care of my cats!! I am so thankful for her help. I know they are getting great care in my absence. I definitely will use her in the future. Phoebe is amazing!!!”
“We had an excellent experience with Gabi. She always showed up on time, followed all instructions/requests with perfection, kept the house clean and showered lots of love on our precious kitty Monroe. Because of her, we were able to actually enjoy our vacation. Thank you Gabi.”
“Angel was such a patient, kind, and caring sitter! We just recently moved to the area and our cat is still getting used to our new apartment. Even though she has been a bit shy, Angel spent time just sitting near her and making sure she felt safe and was cared for while we were away. He sent us frequent updates so we weren't worried and was a great communicator. We will definitely book with Angel again in the future!”
“Ally was very responsive from the moment we posted the job and gave us updates on our cats during our trip. Our cats took an immediate liking to her and were well loved while we were gone. Would definitely use Ally’s services again!”
About: In kennel settings I’ve worked it, I have also taken care of cats. I have my own as well. Don’t tell anyone but she’s probably the most spoiled pet in the house. I’m familiar with their behaviors and have an understanding of the care needed for them. They are our family and I’m here to take care of your fur baby in a way that shows that.
“Anastasia knew how clingy my cats are and gave them extra love. There were several special instructions and she handled everything with care. Will definitely be calling her again ❤️”
“We were very happy with Sandra taking care of our pet. She was a perfect, kind and efficient pet sitter. I highly recommend Sandra. While away from our fur baby, we felt very comfortable knowing he was being lovingly cared for by Sandra.”
“2X using Lauchlan for drop in visits. Again, was very happy with her! Punctual, flexible with times, and she is attentive to my concerns with my cat!! Would highly recommend & will use again if needed. Thank you Lauchlan!”
“Valerie did a great job for us while we were out of town for five days. Our dog, cat, fish, and house were well taken care of. We enjoyed being notified via the app when Valerie started and ended her visits. Her added photos and videos of our animals provided us assurance all was well and were fun to see. We provided Valerie with detailed care directions for our dog, cat, fish, and house needs. It was great to see those directions being put into action via Valerie's photos and videos. Thank you, Valerie, for taking care of our pet family members and home while we were traveling. We greatly appreciate your efforts.”

About: I have training experience and boarding experience. I’ve been doing this for over 2+ years. I know the signs to watch out for for aggression and seizures. I am doing this full-time as my job to take care of others fur babies while they’re away on vacation. In a home setting like there’s. I have a yard to play in and my dog loves playing with others. We do so many activities. I have crates if needed& beds
“Max had a wonderful time spending the day with Roger and his two dogs. Roger provided many pictures and a great summary of Max's time spent there. Highly recommend.”
About: ** I took some time off of Rover and I am back with a limited schedule due to work hours** I am an avid dog lover and dog mom to 2 pups. Most of my life has revolved around dogs and I wouldn’t want it any other way! At a young age, I was trusted by all of the nieghbors to dog sit. After college, I was fortunate enough to foster a few rescues from a local humane society. Fostering dogs was a very rewarding experience as it gave me my 2 babies, Milo and Bear. Unfortunately, Bear and Milo have now passed and I miss them terribly everyday. I currently have a Doberman named Ambrose and an Australian Shepard named Max. They are a bonded pair and have so much energy! I have experience with very large dogs and puppies as young as 2 months old— but I am comfortable with all breeds! I am available for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. If you would like me to board your dog in my home, I welcome that as well! As long as they are dog friendly; my pups would love a new friend 😊 During the day on weekdays I work a full-time hybird job with flexibility. My in office days are Monday and Tuesday so usually unavailable those days. I am free for walks/drop ins during the week/weekend as well as house sitting. I am a very active person alone and with my own dogs. They get walks 1-2x per day and get lots of exercise in our backyard. I would love to hang out with your pup and play! I will come to you to make them feel more comfortable in their own environment.
About: Hi all! I’ve watched dogs of all breeds and all ages for 10+ years! I recently moved to a home with plenty of space and fenced in yard and would love to have a few regular daycare goers! I work remotely, so I’m home all day to spend time with your dog! I typically work out in the living room so I’ll be around. At my place, your dog can enjoy a fenced-in yard for safe, fun playtime. I’m all about keeping routines, so if your dog is used to crating, I’m happy to do that too.
“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“Jameson had a wonderful play date with other dogs at Kathleen’s. He is a bit tired the day after. I also noticed he was more accepting, less riled, by other dogs on our walk this morning. A couple dogs barked at him and he did not bark back.”
About: I Take a Personalized Approach and Maintain Constant Communication I don’t treat all pets the same. I carefully assess the behavior of each animal, understanding that an adult dog has different needs than an energetic puppy or a shy cat. Before accepting any booking, I conduct a detailed consultation to learn about your pet’s routine, fears, favorite activities, and specific medical needs. In addition, I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I don’t just say, “They’re doing fine.” I’ll tell you how well they ate, how much they played, and how their walk went, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My time management and the way I integrate pet care into my daily routine are designed to ensure consistency and individualized attention, as your pet’s routine is essential to their well-being. In summary, my schedule is built around reliability, consistency, and controlled flexibility, ensuring that your pet’s care fits seamlessly into my day without ever feeling rushed or stressful. ● Home-Like Environment, No Crates: My home is fully pet-proofed and designed to make pets feel like they’re in a second home. Pets live alongside me and are never confined to a crate unless specifically requested by the owner. ● 24/7 Supervision: Pets staying in my home receive constant supervision. I only leave for very short, planned periods, and only when the pet is comfortable, safe, and secure. ● Small Group Care: I accept only a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one receives individualized attention and that the environment remains calm, safe, and manageable. ● Secure Exercise Area: My home features a securely fenced yard where pets can enjoy supervised playtime and socialization (with the owner's approval and if the pet enjoys interacting with others). In summary, I choose the care option that best meets your pet’s emotional and physical needs—whether that means the comfort of staying in their own home or the constant supervision and companionship offered in mine.
“Giedre was wonderful with my 12 week old puppy Izzy. She is very responsive and sent us pictures all day. She is knowledgeable and experienced in caring pets. She has good fenced backyard. I highly recommend Giedre and would definitely go back again.”
“My pup is normally very shy and takes him time warming up, but he loved Rosarin right away! He took treats (which never happens), enjoyed a nice long walk with her, and spent some time hanging out with her dog. Rosarin is great with animals, and she shared lots of helpful insights and cute pics/videos. Fantastic sitter, will use her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I take care of your pet as if it were my child. I love animals, I love seniors and I love children. Both you and your pet will be very happy to be your caregiver.

About: Hello! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I have been caring for animals my whole life, including my own pets and also dogs I foster for a local rescue. I would love to care for your furry family member as well. As a Type-A personality and a mother of 3 humans and 3 dogs, I am very organized, reliable, detail-oriented, caring, and trustworthy. I work from home part-time in the photography industry and would love to help you add to the adorable photos of your pet while they are in my care, if you would like! I have a Masters Degree in Higher Education and a Bachelors in Entrepreneurship, both at Illinois State University. I did my business plan on a doggy day care and when I was a kid I wanted to be a vet, so as you can see...caring for animals has been in my blood from a young age! Several of my animals have had special needs or are prone to injury, so I have LOTS of experience in that regard. My vet can vouch for the fact that I would make a great vet tech. Blood and other bodily fluids do not phase me and I am cool as a cucumber under pressure (I've dealt with two dogs with broken legs, two dog strokes, cancer, many a laceration, a diabetic cat, and a dog with no eyes.) I also have fostered several puppies and love their puppy breath! Happy to help care for the youngest of your pets as well. I work from home part-time during typical business hours and cart my kids to and from their activities. My spare time is spent caring for your furry friends! Whether I am coming into your home or your pets are coming into mine, your pets and property will be treated with the utmost care and consideration. I will provide the excellent service I expect for pet sitters for my own family dogs and nothing less. Safety and security are also top of mind and, with my high attention to detail, nothing will be missed. Pets in my home will be treated like family. We have 2 retired racing greyhounds who are loving, calm, and kind, as well as a foster-fail super mutt who loves to play and keep our house safe from chipmunks and mail carriers. I have three kids (12, 10, and 7) who all have extensive experience with dogs and who will help me respectfully love on your pet while you are away. We have a LARGE fenced in yard with lots of little critters to sniff after and plenty of room to run. We live in a pet-friendly cul-du-sac with several dogs and chickens next door.
About: I have owned cats for the past 30+ years and owned dogs for the past 16 years. We are an animal loving household that would love to help you out with your pet care needs. I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. I currently have a diabetic dog that I give special care to - Homemade food- insulin - CGM to monitor her blood sugar. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I would be home taking care of your pets needs throughout the day, evening and night. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs for your dog to play with. We have plenty of people in the house to give lots of love, affection and playtime daily. Your pup will be treated like one of our own while they stay with us.
“Just had a little trial run doggy day care session with Kendall and she was great with my two dogs, one of whom is hard to separate from my side. She was very patient and didn't seem to be worried about it at all. My dogs came home happy!”
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs and cats ranging in new puppies and kittens to the senior citizens of the pet world. I am currently retired and have a flexible schedule. I am available seven days a week and enjoy getting to know new dogs and cats. I am readily accessible to the Riverwalk for long walks. I have permit for my dog at the DuPage Dog Parks and am very familiar with the parks in the greater Naperville Wheaton area.

“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”
About: I have 3 large dogs in my household, all of very different personalities. On top of that, friends and family have also relied on me to take care of their pets while they are away as well. Recently, I have taken interest in animal rescue, and have helped rescue and send an injured mallard to the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors. I am currently a student at west aurora highschool, and I am a member of the national honor society. I come home to my three dogs and sometimes go to Oswego to take care of my families pets over there as well. I will be able to regularly check up on your pets and keep them well hydrated and fed. As well as going on walks to stay active.
About: I have had dogs all my life and know how much time and attention they need to feel loved and safe. I had two big dogs growing up ( yellow lab and a pit bull terrier) and was very active with them - loved going on long walks and hikes. I currently have a 6 year old bernidoodle who is extremely energetic and goofy and loves to swim and hide my shoes around the house. I love being outside going on long walks and it makes it so much better having a little buddy to share that time with. I have a lot of experience with large and strong dogs as well as puppies. I walk and sit animals for friends and family and have been occasionally cat sitting more recently and really enjoy that at well. I am currently working as a receptionist but have a lot of extra time because my hours are pretty short. I work Monday- Thursday from 1pm-6:30/7pm so will have plenty of weekend time to spend time with ur pups or cats:) I can even come in the morning or after 8pm if needed. I have a very calm and friendly presence when pet sitting. Time away from owners can be stressful and I want to make that time as comfortable as possible for the animals by giving lots of love and attention if they need it. I make a lot of sensory toys at home for my dog and try and make sure he feels mentally stimulated.

About: After traveling thousands of miles and leaving my home country, I also had to leave my little pet in the care of the most important person in my life, my mom.

I make sure they get feed and give them treats when they listen. I make sure to clean up after them when taking them in walks. I am careful that no children come near the dogs or cats.

I am a recent college graduate from Aurora University and currently reside in Wilmette, IL. I’m originally from Newport Beach, California but my family have moved to Wilmette, Illinois 4 years ago.

Because I have dogs at home, I’m very familiar in the care needed to care for pets.

I will provide the correct care for your animals no matter what it is.

“I am so happy that I found Jill. She couldn’t have been more attentive and caring, and she went “that extra mile.” Scottie was so happy when I picked him up.” It was like he never left home. Much better than leaving him in a kennel for 12 days. She truly loves dogs.”
“Balbina was great! We left Simba with her for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. She took good care of our Simba and sent daily pictures and videos along with updates on his activities etc. I would highly recommend Balbina to anyone looking for dog care.”
“Jackie is the absolute best! She and my pup have become best buddies. She takes such good care of him. I feel so confident when he’s there and she’s amazing at sending updates and pictures too. I would highly recommend!”
“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”
“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.”
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.
“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.❤️❤️”
“Erin was fantastic with my dog, Max, this weekend! She provided daily updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Max was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. Erin was reliable, communicative, and treated Max like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Patricia was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures. She took very good care of our gentle giant, 7yr old golden doodle, and I would definitely seek to use her services again. She is awesome to work with. I would highly recommend.”
“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 !”
“Rabia and her family did an excellent job of taking care of Archie, my golden retriever. They are so caring and loving! Rabia was very accommodating to a last minute change in schedule and very attentive, giving us frequent updates. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs reassurance their pet is being well looked after with so much love!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much Pennie! Janny was looked after so well that Pennie noticed that her gums were bleeding - we took her to the vet today to check her out. Looks like there is a lump we would not have noticed that Pennie did! Thank you so much.”
“Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter that really goes up and beyond! Our Ruby received so much attention, play time and walks. Ashley was great about sending us photos & videos too. We would gladly rebook with her. Thank you, Ashley!”
