“Karla is amazing! I am so thankful we found someone we can trust to stay at our home and watch our dog when we travel. She sends picture updates, is great with communication, spoils our girl while we are gone, and keeps our home fresh for when we return! Highly recommend her 😊”
About: I'm 18 years old but I've taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life, cats, dogs, lizards, you name it! I've also had 6 dogs and 1 cat myself, which have all grown up and old in a happy and fun environment! I do not live in a neighborhood, so i have a large fenced yard along with about 4 acres of field to play in, along with a lake near me for hot summer days. Given all of the pets i've taken care of, I have great experience in dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, senior dogs, etc. I am currently a senior in high school at Glacier, however I only have one class that is completely online, so i am home all day everyday! Along with school i work a part-time nanny job in the AM Mondays and Thursdays, but it is super flexible so i can meet your needs. As you can see i have a very open schedule that is easy to work with, and i am home most of my days which is perfect to watch your animals. I'm using my love for animals as a little source of extra income! I have a large fenced and protected yard with an easily accessible dog door on both the top and bottom floor of my home. I do have two of my own fur babies, but they are trained and are used to being around all different types of dogs. However, if your dog/ cat is not good with other dogs and cats I am able to keep them separated by the floors in my house, so that would be no problem.
“Zoei interacted with Kuma from the moment she walked in. Kuma inspected her and approved. They enjoyed a day together and we were able to spend time with friends and horseback ride. If ever passing this way again We would book her.”
“There are no words to share just how appreciative and grateful I am for Erran stepping in as temporary furbaby mom. So many wonderful check-ins pictures captured. And above and beyond with many other areas with her care, attention and love to the pups not to mention I'm pretty sure my house was cleaner than I found it... lol A little nervous to leave this review because I sort of want her all to myself :-) when I need somebody to care for my boys. Thank you Erran 🙏 🐶 🐶”
“Natashia was great with my two pups! One of my dogs is anxious and suspicious of new people, and Natashia was so good at just meeting Rosie where she's at and not pushing too hard. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Havana took great care of Callie Mae. She sent lots of pictures and videos! She was also very easy to communicate with. It’s safe to say Callie Mae would love to spend more time with Havana!”
About: I started a dog sitting business in high school just to spend time doing what I love. I bought a puppy in college and it was amazing learning to raise it. I love pets and want them treated with the right amount of care. I work part time at the airport while Im out here in Montana and have a very flexible schedule. A young single man who loves animals and has plenty of time to give to them. I have a lot of energy for those through the roof dogs and can also just chill on the couch if need be. Whatever is necessary for your dog, I am willing to offer. A strong military background has molded me to show respect and care to anything you leave me with.
About: I’ve always loved learning about and taking care of animals. I have my pups Sam and Winston and my kittens, Olive and Ivy! I’ve done dog walking and house/pet sitting in the past as well. I currently work from home and can provide flexible care to your pets! I do have some pets of my own, but my partner is able to care for them while I am with your pets. I provide lots of attention throughout the day and have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of your fur-babies. Any specific requirements/requests for your pets’ schedule can be accommodated.
“Sherri went above and beyond for our fur babies while we were away. It’s truly hard for us to feel at ease when leaving them because they are like our kids, but we felt so comfortable with Sherri. She sent more updates and photos in the first evening than most sitters have sent us for whole trips! We are already planning to book Sherri again and would highly recommend her.”
“Lea was a wonderful house and dog sitter. She took extra time to get to know my dog before hand and I felt very comfortable having her in my home. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. I will definitely try to book her in the future.”
“Madison was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was super communicative and transparent with her work while watching our dog, which was great! She sent us fun photo updates and Huckleberry looked like she was having a blast. The house was also clean and tidy when we came back! Thanks, Madison!”
“Amazing experience with Vicki!! Her communication was great, she was patient & sweet with my 3 crazy dogs, and left our house cleaner than we left it. Thank you ? would definitely recommend!”
“Emily was so amazing.. from the very beginning! She was such a great communicator, went above and beyond with our cats, making sure they were safe and loved. She sent us regular pics, so we never worried, left our house cleaner than when we left. Emily was our best pet sitter ever. Thank you so much Emily!!”
“Jessica took great care of our two pups, cat and home while we were away! It was a last minute booking and she bent over backwards to accommodate our schedules as we tried to leave town. She also sent us messages, pictures and videos of their adventures, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to happy babies who really didn't seem to have missed us much! We'll definitely seek out Jessica again!”
About: I've been around dogs all my life. I grew with large amounts of dog at home with all kinds of unique stories, and worked as a professional dog daycare attendant for two years. I am packpro certified in dog handling and training, and am certified in dog cpr. I am using Rover for extra money while I look for work in my industry, so my schedule is an open book that your dog can easily fit into! Dogs deserve comfort, relaxation, and play all times of the day. They need a best buddy who will play with them or cuddle them at any point and I do my best to constantly provide that.
“Riley responded right away to my request to sit in our home with our puppy. He has separation anxiety and she knew how to handle him. She stopped by a couple of days ahead to learn our routine. She was very responsive and communicated when she would arrive before visiting. We would use Riley again as our sitter”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Batavia
Madison did a wonderful job watching our two dogs and our house while we were on vacation for a week. Dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and the house looked just as we had left it. She was great about keeping in touch and sending pictures too. We would definitely hire her to watch over our pets again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Batavia on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 150 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Batavia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Batavia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Batavia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
