“Amy is wonderful with our cats and they seem very comfortable with her. She always spends time playing with them. And she always seems to get the best photos of them, too! I've got some great shots! My babies are family, and we consider Amy part of the family, too!”
“Carolyn took such good care of our two kittens. Carolyn checked in at the time she agreed to - and she communicated great detail about each visit. She assured us that the kittens were doing well, and that our house was tidy. Her work and her attention to our kittens was really appreciated. We could not have asked for more.”
About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d give my own. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your pets throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, have had dogs since I was a baby. And have consistently pet sat for neighbors and friends. I’ve also volunteered at vet clinics. I am a college student home for the summer. And I’m looking for some extra work! Please reach out if you need pet care. :) All care is provided in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for your home. I’m also happy to send updates and photos while you’re away!
About: Animals have been an important part of my life since I was a teenager, when my family had dogs and I learned the responsibility that comes with caring for them. Over the years, I have had both dogs and cats and have cared for them through every stage of life—from the excitement and energy of their first days with me to providing love, patience, and comfort during their final moments. These experiences have taught me that caring for a pet is about much more than feeding and walks. It’s about understanding their personalities, routines, needs, and the little things that make them feel safe and loved. I know how deeply pets become part of the family, and I would care for yours with the same kindness, attention, and respect I have always given my own. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship. Because I’m home for much of the day, your pets won’t have to spend long periods alone. I enjoy having furry companions nearby while I work and can adjust my routine to fit their individual needs and usual schedule. Whether they’re energetic and ready for a walk or happiest curled up beside me, I’m happy to give them the attention and company that makes them feel comfortable and loved. I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of keeping them comfortable, happy, and secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, companionship, and each pet’s individual routine and personality. I’m equally respectful when caring for someone’s home. I keep things clean, tidy, and secure, follow instructions carefully, and treat every home as if it were my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and happy to provide regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets and home are being well cared for.
“Summer was such a great sitter for my dog, easy to communicate and extremely friendly to my dog. Kept me updated and send me such cute pictures and videos. I can tell my dog really had fun and was given a lot of love. Definitely will contact again !!! Was so kind to also take care of my dog last minute. Thank you so much Summer!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about two years now. Neighbors, friends, and professors have all relied on me to walk, feed, play, and just watch over their dogs over the years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I am a master’s student and soon to be substitute teacher, meaning I have flexibility to do morning, afternoon, & evening walks & care in addition to overnight stays! The safety and comfortability of the dog I am caring for is of the upmost importance to me. Wherever I am, I make an effort to engage with dogs in play and their favorite activities. I do my best to make the most out of whatever space I find myself in. This can look like long walks, short walks, outside and inside playtime, oral medication administration, and more.
“Riley was a breath of fresh air for us!!! First time having a stranger take cat of our 2 dogs and 3 cats ! I was nervous at first but once we met it seemed perfect! Riley went above and beyond every visit stayed a little longer then scheduled to give some extra love to the pans we were just thankful for her to check in and feed them and let the dogs out! Thank you so much and looking forward to be able to travel again with ease of knowing Riley can watch them again. Thank you!!”
“Caroline was great! Responsible, followed the care instructions, and on time. My two kitties couldn't had been happier to see her. I will be using her pet care services again in the future.”
“No doubt about it, I’d pick Kaitlyn to catsit again in a heartbeat. I am so beyond thankful for all of Kaitlyn’s patience, kindness, warmth, and compassion. She bonded with both our cats right off the bat. Our shy male cat warmed up to her very quickly. The anxious girl kitty took a bit longer to come around, but Kaitlyn made sure to go at the pace of the kitty in question. She was able to medicate our male cat, and made sure they both felt loved and cared for while we were away for an extended period of time. She communicated as soon as anything came up, and was very flexible! It was such a relief knowing our cats were in such thoughtful & capable hands for the holidays. My girlfriend and I could not recommend her more highly! 🩵”

About: I have had pets all of my life, both cats and dogs. I have worked at an animal shelter for three years where I took dogs out for daily walks, gave them enrichment and lots of love and patience. I would love to get to know your dog and find out how to give them the best days possible! I am also very prepared to clean any messes that may occur and make sure that your dog remains safe while we play. I am a part-time college student so I have a few assignments to take care of weekly. I have no other job at this time so school is my only commitment this summer. I always check to ensure that any harmful materials anywhere the animals can reach them. I regularly monitor various toys that are out and ensure that they are not being eaten and playtime is always monitored.
“Nathalia took wonderful care of my cat, SunTie! She was very responsible, kind, and attentive, and followed his care instructions carefully. I really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing SunTie was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Nathalia and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
About: I worked at a dog kennel/police dog training facility over the summers as a teen so I'm familiar with many different dog breeds. I also grew up with 4 hunting dogs, so I understand high energy dogs and their need to go for walks (or runs!) I'm currently a teacher on summer break so I have plenty of time on weekdays to take your pup on a long walk or play with your cats! I am happy to care your furry friends any way that works best for them and their routine within a safe and familiar environment, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Batavia
We’ve used Grace for walks, drop-ins, and longer stays, and she’s been wonderful! She’s dependable, communicative, and truly gets our big, energetic Bernedoodle. She handles his craziness and anxiety with patience and confidence. We always feel comfortable leaving him with her!
Sabrina is absolutely amazing! We've had her watch our 2 dogs and 2 cats twice now and she is so open and easy going. We were worried about our one dog being aggressive toward strangers and she reassured us that she would take things at our pups pace. She is very attentive to our fur babies and understands all of their different personalities and needs.
Nuestro perro es de buen corazón, pero no confía fácilmente y ha desarrollado reactividad hacia muchas cosas, incluidas las personas. Nos sorprendió muchísimo lo bien que funcionó la primera vez que nos conocimos. Estamos ilusionados de que Nikki siga cuidando de Kiwi para poder tener más flexibilidad.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Batavia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
