“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my 2 pups while we were out of town!! I can tell they had a blast and are exhausted from having so much fun with their doggy friends! Jessica and Christian are amazing and my pups will be so excited to go back and see them!!”
“Keith was a great host for my Frenchie Nugget. He does interviews and asks all questions you could imagine about your dog. Keith took amazing care of him and Nugget felt like he was at home there. I was nervous he wouldn’t do well but he did great thanks to Keith. 10/10 would and will book again.”
“Morgan is a great Rover sitter. I know Spike was in good hands while I was traveling. I received constant updates and plenty of photos and videos to cheer me up while I was away from my furry friend. She even sent him off with a goodie bag and a Polaroid picture at pick up.”
“Maria did a great job but what i appreciated was administering my guy's medicine and most of all staying up late to hand off my dog when my flight was badly delayed. Thanks again Maria”
“This was the first time of Bingo with Greg and Sonia. Bingo returned happy since she had the chance to make new friends and apparently boss them around ? We received pictures of Bingo as the days progressed and we could tell the difference of her getting more relaxed. We are booking again for Christmas ?”
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.
“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”
“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.”
“Chad took amazing care of my dog, Dooly, while I was on vacation! He provided daily updates with photos and videos and assured me that I didn’t have to worry. Dooly had an incredible time with him and his wife and clearly trusted them. As a thoughtful touch, Chad even gave me a physical photo of Dooly at the end of his stay, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be rebooking with Chad in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Lizzie was a perfect caretaker for our 7 year old golden doodle! She sent pictures, videos and communicated the perfect amount during our dog’s stay. We will booking with her again!”
“Katie was fantastic. She took great care of our dogs and made them feel right at home. We are so grateful that they were in amazing hands! Dogs came home tired. We know they played hard and had lots of activity, which they love. I know they will want to go back!”
“We were very happy with Hudson’s stay with Jon and Wendi. They were very responsive and accommodating. We received daily updates and Hudson got to enjoy many walks. We will book again in the future.”
“Deb took such great care of Oliver! Ollie stayed in a loving home well suited for dogs. He had a great enclosed yard to play in, good care and a happy family. He was right at home with Deb. She also sent us great photos of him while we were away and sent us updates routinely. We highly recommend Deb! I am sure Oliver will be back.”
“We had never used an outside resource to care for our dog and we were completely surprised. Kimberly was thoughtful and kind and our dog was in amazing hands. She listened and walked us through the process and kept us updated throughout the whole weekend and even sent us pictures. We loved it and we will definitely use Kimberly again - she is awesome!!! Thank you for making our first time so easy.”
“Sharahi took excellent care of our Tess when we were away for a long weekend. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and sent frequent updates while we were away. We would absolutely ask Sharahi to watch Tess again!”

We are so pleased with Jackie, her communication and the care she gave Georgie. Until now we had only left Georgie with family friends. Now we feel like both Georgie and our family have made new friends. We will most definitely reach out to Jackie and her caring family next time we require boarding, Thank you Rover for putting us together.
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

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Batavia is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $53 per night. On Rover, 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.

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.
95% of sitters in Batavia 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 Batavia 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 Batavia.
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 Batavia. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Batavia 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.
