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!

Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!

Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!

About: I have had pets all my life and I absolutely love caring for them, playing with them, all of it. I've had lots of experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and activity levels. (i grew up with 2 pugs and have my own cat as well as a german puppy and 2-year-old rescue mutt at home) I am punctual and a very caring and patient person. I'd love to spend my life working with animals and I feel like this could be a good start for me ! my availability is super flexible so if need be we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us and fits well into our busy lives ! I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets ! As of right now, I am currently unemployed and not in school or training either so I have wide open availability to work with you ! I'm unfortunately not able to care for pets in my own home but I am willing to make any accommodations for your pet(s), big or small as I have worked with a variety of animals with a variety of needs/temperaments.

About: My energy to match each animal is above many other sitters. I love to stay active and go on adventures. Snuggle time and training time is equally important. If your pet loves attention, then we will be a great match. I worked in a Shelter/Daycare and loved every minute of it. I am currently taking care of 2 elderly clients in their home part-time and would love to fill my time with your precious family pet. I would be unable to take your pet in my home at this time. My preference would be in your home which is more comfortable for your pet. OVER 30 MILES TRAVEL +$10 EACH WAY.

About: I am currently available in the afternoons between 1:15-3:15 for dog walking your fur-buddy! We adopted a senior lab/golden mix a few years back, and we currently have a 6 year old lab who is best friends with our 5 year old kiddo! Please let me know if you have any questions or how I can help! I am currently a stay at home parent and have availability in the afternoons while my kiddo is at school. My 5 year old absolutely adores dogs, and while I am available for walks in the afternoon, he would love to meet new dogs and join me if there was an additional time needed! Please let me know if you have a different time-frame needed and we may be able to help out! I know the importance of coming home at night to a house just as you left it. I will treat your home like my own.

About: Hi! I’m Megan, a trail-loving mom and lifelong animal lover who finds any excuse to be outside, especially during the long, sunny days of summer. I’ve grown up with pets, from cuddly cats to an energetic Siberian Husky who taught me all about patience, play, and the importance of a good walk! These days, I volunteer at local animal shelters and love providing thoughtful, attentive care to both dogs and cats. I know summer adventures look different for every pet, so I’m happy to adjust to their needs. Whether that means a leisurely walk with plenty of shade and water breaks, a playful backyard visit, enrichment time indoors where it's cool and comfortable, or simply some extra companionship while you're away, your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a summer walk, or some quality one-on-one attention, I treat every pet like family. I believe in clear communication, dependable care, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give them a fun, enriching experience while helping you enjoy peace of mind. Let’s make this summer full of wagging tails, sunny adventures, and plenty of happy memories! I’m typically available after 2:00 PM on weekdays, but there is flexibility. If you're looking for afternoon or early evening care, I’d love to help! I provide calm, loving care in your pet’s own space, keeping their routine and comfort top priority. Whether it's playtime, feedings, walks, or just quiet company, I make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well-loved while you're away. 🧽 I also understand that accidents can happen, simple potty cleanups during a visit are always included. For larger messes that require extra time, I offer optional cleanup services: $10 Basic Cleanup: Removing soiled bedding, wiping up big pieces or puddles, and getting your pet set up with fresh bedding. $25 Deep Clean: More involved cleaning when there’s a substantial mess that needs extra time and care. These options help me keep your pet clean and comfortable while also staying on schedule for all my visits.

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 have regularly dog-sat for a couple different families in my neighborhood for two years. In my experience, I have only been asked to check in on them a few times a day to play with them, let them outside, and feed them. One of the dogs I cared for needed medications twice a day, so I have experience with that. I’ve only had experience with boarding a dog once, but it was successful! The sweet little dog slept in my bed with me. I don’t mind having a big dog sleep on my bed, though, as my own dog is a cuddly 80-lb Labrador. Walking dogs is something I love to do because I enjoy being outside and getting exercise! I have been walking dogs for years because I have always had one in my home. I love meeting and playing with dogs of all sizes; I have never been afraid of them! Since I was a little girl, I have enjoyed playing with my own dogs, as well as ones I would see outdoors. I just graduated college, so I’m home & trying to figure out a job, but my schedule is open as of now. I will be working part-time for my dad, but those hours are not set yet. I am used to taking dogs out to go potty with or without a fenced-in yard. I can put a harness on a dog for walks, and I can put them in a crate when I leave (if preferred by owner).

Airing is an extremely kind and friendly person. I knew the second I met her that she would be great to care for my dog. She listened to my dog's cues and took it at her pace which tells me Airin is very knowledgeable in caring for animals. She provided me with a detailed report on how my dog was during the walk and took lots of pictures. I know I will be using Airin to care for my dog again! Thank you!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Batavia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Batavia on Rover is $16.05 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 12,276 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 your Batavia. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Batavia.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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