“Kate was really awesome with walking my dog Chase. I have a big German Shepard and I was worried about him being too much for someone. Kate is amazing with animals and my dog took to her right away. She had no issues walking him and he’s strong and doesn’t like other dogs but I felt totally at ease which lifted a huge weight for me as I recover from surgery.”

“I value Grace's help very much she has been helping me walk and feed my two chihuahuas for almost two weeks while I'm at work. She is very patient and listen to all my concerns since my pets are on the older side and can be a bit difficult with new people.”

About: I run my own business from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. I really love walking and running outside. I would love to bring a little companion with me to explore the sights and sounds of the outdoors. My daughter and I are interested in working together in the future with caring for and walking dogs. Being my own boss, I have the availability to schedule my work calls around my time with your pets. I am open to repeat days of the week I don’t have any pets at home right now. I grew up with dogs and had my own beloved dog for years. Unfortunately, Alex passed. I am looking forward to bonding with another furry friend.

“Sabrina came into our lives when we were in the midst of handling a family emergency. I did not realize how much I would need her to be there for my dog. I had to come and go, and I had to be flexible with my schedule. I did not know if Sabrina would be able to be flexible with her schedule, and I couldn’t guarantee when I would be home. Sabrina understood right away what needed to be done. It was such a relief, knowing that my pup was in such a loving hands. On top of this, the family emergency happened almost at the moment that I met Sabrina. Sabrina was an absolute angel. She went out of her way to make sure that our pup felt completely comfortable with her. She spent time, and was able to manage her on walks, which is no small task, considering how strong she is. I highly recommend Sabrina. She is a compassionate person who cares deeply about dogs, and their parents.”

About: I have lived with large dogs my entire life and have been put in charge of caring for them overnight and long periods of time for about 10 years. I have experience training dogs and have exceptional patience in every aspect of pet care. I live with three large dogs currently- which includes feeding (early morning and mid evening,) walks, and various other care needs - so I am more than capable of caring for animals at whatever time needed. I am good with slow introductions for anxious animals, and proficient with acclimating and calming down hyper animals. I have excellent skill in reading animals’ body language and curating according responses.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own, and I understand how much our pets mean to our family. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m attentive to making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. I work primarily as a server and bartender in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability during the day to care for your pets! I am always off on Tuesdays and Sundays, so I have full availability those days for walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays. On the days I work, I’m generally available throughout the morning and afternoon, and can work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and routines. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and special needs. I’m also patient with puppies who need consistency, positive reinforcement, potty training support, and help learning basic manners. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind through dependable, attentive care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy having animals around and love staying active. My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, and giving each pet the attention they need. I’m flexible and dependable, and I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of grass, giving pets a safe space to run, play, explore, and get some fresh air. In my home, I provide a comfortable, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. We've had cats, a dog, and several guinea pigs so I am familiar with their behaviors. I've been pet sitting through Rover now for almost 3 years. I’ve volunteered at anderson animal shelter with the cats and a few years ago I volunteered in the wildlife department there and learned to feed baby birds. I have incubated three different litters of abandoned duck eggs and raised them for about a week before giving them to the shelter to live a proper duck life. I currently am not employed but I am in nursing school at Aurora University. Im still able to petsit if it works with my class and clinical schedule. This summer I’ll be available full time! I make sure every animal is well cared for. I have lots of patience for animals and will do whatever is necessary to make sure they eat and go potty. It's important to me that the animals are comfortable with myself, so I will spend extra time with them in order to get them to that point.

About: I currently work at a dog facility where we offer daycare and boarding, which has given me hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, personalities, and sizes of dogs. I also have two dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and enjoy taking them on walks and keeping them active. I genuinely love meeting new dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me! I currently work part-time at a dog facility and have school on some Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m unavailable those days. I’m available for dog walks on other weekdays and weekends, depending on my work schedule. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and find a time that works for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience taking care of dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities through my job at a dog facility. During walks, I’ll follow your instructions, stay attentive to your dog, and make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience.

About: We are available for all of your pet care needs. My husband and I do the boarding part as a team. I spend about 80% of my time with the pets, if I ever need to run out you can rest assured that they are in great care with him as well. They are never left alone except for maybe an hour or so if we have church. As far as drop in service that would only be myself. I will be more than happy to house your pet and make them feel like they are at their home away from home. I am also more than happy to come to your home and give your pet the love and care required while you’re away. I will make sure that the care of your furry family member is one thing you don’t need to worry about. If they have certain routines or needs I will make sure they are met. I provide plenty of attention and care, feeding, potty breaks, walks, brushing and bathing. Your pet will be my top priority. I am very excited to help you out whenever needed. You won’t regret hiring me. I homeschool my children so we are home all the time. They do have activities that I drive them to so there are days I am in and out. It’s never more than a 2 hour window. If I have daycare puppies I make sure it’s days that I don’t have to run around or my husband is here. I have a fenced in yard and I have gates to keep the dogs safely away from the front door. I have plenty of space if you would like to bring your own crate. When in your home I am respectful of you mr environment but I also keep an eye on details while your gone to make sure that your home and pet are safe and secure.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Batavia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Batavia is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 11,745 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Batavia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Batavia. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Batavia after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Batavia. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
