Dog Boarding Batavia

“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dog with a stranger, so I was a little nervous. Randi’s communication was great throughout the whole process and she treated my boy like he was one of her own. She even sent pics and updates during my trip to let me know how he was doing. I highly recommend!”

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

“Sandra was wonderful as my husband was in the hospital and I was so worried.”

“My pups loved staying at Marya’s and I could tell they were well taken care of. Lots of photos and updates, and Marya was really great with communication and coordinating drop off and pick up times. I recommended her to my friend who lives in the area, and I hope my pups can stay here again next time we’re in town!”

“Brian went out of his way to accommodate me in taking my two dogs when I suddenly was being admitted to the hospital. He adjusted the schedule when I had to stay longer than I expected. I was a first time customer. He took great care of my 2 little dogs. I would recommend him to anyone.”

“Packer feels safe and loved with Learsy!”

Carrie V.

“Minhhan has been wonderful with our senior Shih Tzu. Delilah has lots of anxiety and it takes time for her to feel comfortable around new people. Minhhan has been very patient with Delilah and Delilah has become very fond of Minhhan. We have already set it up another boarding appointment with her. You can definitely tell she is an animal lover and Delilah and our family are so happy to have found Minhhan.”

“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”

“Thiago was absolutely fantastic! My fiancée and I booked him to watch our two dogs, Danny and Bentley, while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the beginning, Thiago was friendly, accommodating, and extremely responsive. He made us feel comfortable leaving both dogs in his care, especially Danny, who is 12 years old. Throughout the stay, he consistently sent photos, videos, and updates showing the dogs enjoying themselves, going on walks, and getting plenty of attention. It was reassuring to see how happy and comfortable they were. He was also very flexible and communicative when coordinating drop off and pickup, which we really appreciated with our travel schedule. It’s clear that Thiago genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We felt completely at ease knowing Danny and Bentley were in good hands. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. Thanks again, Thiago!”

“Irina was amazing! This was our first time using Rover or leaving our furry baby with someone so I was a little anxious. But Irina took the time to answer my questions. When we met she was friendly and she kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip. I could tell our Hercules was well cared for in her care. I definitely recommend Irina!”

“Merilu took wonderful care of our dog. She kept us updated regularly with pictures. This was my first time using Rover and Mercury helped me trust others with the care of our pooch. We have already booked her for a second visit. Thank you!”

Adam L.

“Our dogs had an amazing stay with this daughter and mom duo. They gave us daily updates and we can tell they loved our dogs like their own. They had a nice yard and space for the dogs to go out and play in! Even with the yard space they still took them on walks and played ball with them. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”

Yale Y.

“I wasn't sure my dog Max would want to come back home after spending time with Mayra and all the beings in her warm and comforting home. Her kind and gentle nature put us all at ease.”

Cherrone S.

“Camille was a great dog sitter! She was super communicative and sent pictures and updates. She was flexible with her time and adjusted her work schedule so that she could be there for Milo. Milo was recovering from an injury at the time and required close attention and regular medication. Camille was able to meet him where he was at. I highly recommend Camille to take care of your pet!”

Andrea M.

“I just got my fur babies back from Anais’s overnight stay. She was so kind and caring to them! They adjusted well, and I was really happy with how she took care of them and kept me in the loop. We’ll definitely recommend her as a sitter again and can confidently recommend her to other fur parents who need pet care.”

Jose O.

“This was Michelle’s first visit with my busy kitty crew, and I felt comfortable, and knew they were In Good hands, the moment that I met with her. This was also a last minute booking, and Michelle was gracious and accommodating. Thank you for the care, and for making a last minute trip, possible for our family, Michelle.”
