House Sitting in Batavia

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs since I was 8 years old! I’m comfortable taking care of dogs (and cats) that require a LOT (mine needs 4 miles a day and lot’s of attention) but also appreciative of those that just want to cuddle :) I’m currently working full-time, but I have lots of free time in the mornings and early afternoons! I’m comfortable working within your dog’s daily schedule. I am comfortable doing whatever your dog needs to have a happy, safe time while you are away. I have taken care of dogs with dog-doors, dogs in condos, etc. Whatever you need, let me know and I’ll make sure to do it (and if I can’t I will communicate that clearly)!

“Gavin was fantastic! Communicated very well while we were gone and Mia seemed well-loved. And the house was in great shape when we got home”

About: I have deep love, admiration, and understanding for animals and am innately empathetic and intuitive. I have extensive experience caring for all kinds of pets including small to large dogs, cats, small animals like rabbits, fish, and reptiles. I have experience training as well as assisting others dogs with some behavioral and basic training. I am not easily intimidated and can hold my own with bigger dogs or animals with behavioral problems. My schedule is flexible! I work part time helping my mom with my disabled dad, so I have plenty of availability during weekdays, overnight, and weekends to give your furry family members all the attention they need! I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know them! I have training as a first responder & lifeguard and know animal CPR & first aid. I have a flexible schedule, so I easily adjust to my clients needs. Understanding animal behavior is a major interest of mine and I very easily adjust to animals temperaments and energy levels!

“As a first time user with Rover, we were unsure what to expect. I saw that Haley and Tyler came with very positive reviews and had experience with Northern breeds, so my expectations were quite hopeful. We set up house sitting for our Everest as he’s getting older and had health problems during our last kennel experience. I wanted to provide him with a stress free time at home while we’re were out of town for 10 days. Haley was just phenomenal in all ways possible; from communicating, photos and videos sent, and overall care for our big guy. She ensured that he was happy and cared for, and put our minds at ease while we were far away from home. I will definitely use Haley and Tyler’s services again, and would recommend them to anyone needing personalized care for their fur babies.”

“Kimberly took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away for 3 days. She sent pictures and updates daily. The dogs loved being with her and our house was very clean when we got home. I would highly recommend her.”

Cindy V.

“Melanie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in good hands. She took such loving care of him, sent me daily photos and updates, and made sure he stuck to his routine. It’s so hard to find someone you can truly trust, but Melanie went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog treated like family! 💕🐶”

Natasa G.

“Outstanding sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and treated them like her own. We were especially grateful for how calmly and confidently she handled Pearl during a low blood sugar episode — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

Allison B.

“Megan did a great job working with our pups even through a thunderstorm. Would book again!”

Heather R.

“Sandra was amazing. She was very responsive with communication. Our girls were so well taken care of. Enjoyed seeing the pics she sent showing our happy girls. She left the house in perfect order. Will reach out to her again.”

Kathi M.

“This is the second time Elena has watched our home and our pets while we were away. This time was even over a holiday week. We are so grateful for her care and concern for pets. Our flight was incredibly delayed by a half a day. She was super flexible and still cared for our pets. She responds quickly and is very kind.”

“Lexi was great! She was excellent with Baba, responsible and responsive.”

Martha K.

“Scott is a reliable and loving dog and house sitter. Going above and beyond, he even helped with some household tasks while I was away! More importantly, he cared for my dogs as if they were his own, he even was able to win over the more difficult of the two dogs. He was able to patiently manage their more difficult qualities, like leash aggressiveness, and trash picking. I received daily updates and photos, putting me at ease. I confidently recommend Scott, and will be a repeat customer.”

Devin Z.

“Ann was a spectacular sitter. She kept us updated on how Fiona was doing at all times. She was extremely communicative and incredibly nurturing towards Fiona. We truly felt at peace while we were away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, caring sitter. We know we will definitely be using again.”

Kelly C.

“Ronnie was an amazing weekend companion for my girl Bailey! Definitely would recommend her for your pups!!”

About: I grew up in a home full of cats and dogs. We have fostered and rescued many dogs, from puppies to seniors. I’ve provided drop-in and overnight care to neighbors and family before I decided to take my talents on the road 😉 I am currently a nursing student attending Aurora University. I also have a part time job at a local park district. My schedule is very flexible throughout the day and week so I am able to meet all your pet’s needs. I’m comfortable giving your pet medication or any other extended care that they might require. I’ve also had experience with dogs that have suffered from anxiety, high energy, and/or other odd behaviors.

“Anthony was GREAT! Max loved him and immediately loved being with him. He took great care of him, sent photos and treated Max like his own. Would use him any time!”

About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.

“Taylor was very communicative which I find one of the most important attributes of my sitter. Of course she was very good with Kona. I recommend her services.”

Brad B.

“Maddie was great! She stayed at our house with our 14 year old, blind fur baby, Liz. She kept us well informed throughout the weekend. It was so nice to have a trustworthy sitter and return to a happy, relaxed dog. Liz was in excellent hands, and we could tell she felt completely comfortable and safe with Maddie. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter!”

Wendy R.

“Elizabeth was so helpful taking care of our two dogs while we were away! She didn't just let them out, but also walked them and was super communicative about how they were doing. We are so grateful for all her help and felt very confident our pups were well cared for in our absence.”
