“Spencer took great care of my two kittens during his drop-in visits and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable with cats. He even scooped the litter box twice because one of my kittens likes to use it right after it’s cleaned. I would definitely trust Spencer to watch my cats again and highly recommend him.”
“Kevin kept an eye on my cats while I went away for Christmas. He was awesome! He was attentive to the cats when he came over, cleaned the litter boxes and gave them cat food. He even took the time to warm up and play with them for a while when he came over. I’ll definitely be using Kevin again anytime I need a drop in visit!”
“Ayah left us detailed messages about her drop in visits with our cat, and made sure that she had as much fun and love as possible while we were away. I would definitely recommend Ayah!!”
“Bill was excellent and did great with Lucy! Gave Lucy all the attention she needed and made sure she was comfortable and happy during my week long absence. If you are looking for a a dedicated dog lover who is reliable and dependable to take care of your beloved family member i would recommend Bill 100%. Thank you Bill for taking care of Lucy. She was very happy and pleased.”
About: I’ve had a dog as a pet since I was 4 years old. Grew up on a farm showing cows and other livestock, and attended college for an animal science degree. My life has always revolved around animals 😊 I work full time remotely from home, so the only time I would be away from the dogs is to run a quick errand. My dog is here with me all day to entertain as well! I have a partially fenced yard and a dog to keep your dog company! Never left unattended outside, and can easily crate the dogs if needed and at nighttime. Love to take my dog on lunchtime and after work walks!
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and I’m very familiar with their care and how they communicate. I’ve been around dogs for many years and I love to walk and play with them. We have one cat, a bearded dragon, and two frogs, so I can give exotic care as well. I currently work the evenings starting at 5pm, so I’m available any time before then. I am willing to travel a reasonable distance, and willing to work something out! I’ll come to your home and greet your pets before getting to work. Whether scooping litter, feeding, walking, or playing, I will have your pets health and safety in mind, and I can take pictures to document what I do.
About: Hello, My name is Katelyn and I am new to Rover. I have four years of experience in basic training, walking, bathing, ear cleaning, and nail trimming with three French Bulldogs (up to 30 lbs) and two years of similar experience with two Rat Terriers (up to 18 lbs). I am attentive and patient with the positive energy to cater to your dog’s needs for mental stimulation, exercise, grooming, and loving cuddles. My home is shared with my gentle husband Mark and our sweet spayed female Rat Terrier named Reenie. I am a stay-at-home Rat Terrier Mom primarily, working a very part-time schedule (three or four short shifts in the evening per week) outside of the home. If your dog has special needs (e.g., frequent potty trips or special food or medication preparation) I am up for the task. Our home is a tidy two-bedroom apartment in which your dog will have access to the kitchen, hallway, living room, and spare bedroom. We have two dog beds and two recliners with throw blankets for lounging; Kongs, bones, and antlers for chewing; and softer squeaker toys and balls for playing. We have one crate that is Reenie’s and prefer that you provide your dog’s crate for their comfort during their stay.
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From our first message, she was professional and easy to communicate with—always providing updates and photos so I knew my dog was happy and safe. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for pup and a tidy house. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I would 100% recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Jackie did a great job with my cat while I was gone for several days! My cat was in good spirits when I returned and I didn’t have to worry about her at all while I was gone because of great communication and updates. Highly recommended!”
About: I am back! Took a year off to recover from Cancer Diagnosis. Very excited to say I am in remission and can get back to caring for your loved ones! Dog, Cat, Reptiles, or any furry babies- I am here to help. Looking for a pet sitter who treats your pets like family? I’ve raised many animals over the years and specialize in many breeds. I volunteered most of my life rescuing animals and working with those who needed second or third chances. I am passionate, very patient and trustworthy. In my care, your pets are welcome on the furniture, get plenty of love, and will be absolutely spoiled. I’d love to meet your furry friend! When babysitting someone’s pet, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, give them lots of attention, and make sure they get plenty of cuddles and care — just like they would with their family! I show love and affection by spending quality time with each pet — giving plenty of pets, belly rubs, and playtime. I talk to them, let them snuggle up if they want, and make sure they always feel safe, happy, and part of the family while they’re with me.
About: I have loved animals all my life. I think they really are a part of a family, and they deserve to be absolutely spoiled and shown all the love they can take I am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I don’t work a regular 9 to 5 so I am home longer than the average person I make sure to take care of all of their needs. Make sure they are fed, always have water, entertained, played with, loved on and completely taken care of
About: Walked and fed my neighbors dog since I was 13, until I moved out of state. Then got my first dog Maia, who is now 7. She had endometria and has arthritis and I’ve been there for her through sickness and health! Also got my second dog Peanut who is the clumsiest bullmastiff ever! He is 4 now. I’m great with big dogs and small dogs. I served in the army where I have dog sat, dropped in for feedings, walked multiple dogs and house sat for multiple friends and colleagues. I’m currently transitioning from active duty and waiting for my Texas nursing license to transfer to a New York. So I’m free to take pups on long walks, spend the day with them or just pop in for feeds! I love playing with dogs and cats. I’m very loving to all animals and will give lots of pets, attention and play with them while caring for them.
“Kathryn has done an amazing job with Gus in the couple weeks she’s been coming to let him out! He’s so much happier when I get home from work now after a long day! Thank you!!”
About: I’ve had pets before and I also have done pet sitting for many years now. I know how to take care of them, show them love and affection, and also make sure they stick to their routines and habits. My hubby and I work part time and we’re so excited to take care of your little (or big) furry kid! We can drop by and dog sit at many different times and days, so feel free to contact me with any questions or requests you might have. We’re flexible and willing to work around your schedule! I’m happy to come to your house and play with your furry baby, let them out to play or walk them or whatever else you might need or want. I like to make sure they don’t feel alone but also not too bothered.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Batavia
Kevin did such a great job looking after Hazy! She is very shy and he took the appropriate care and she warmed up to him! He listened and paid attention to details and kept us updated. We are very appreciative of all of the care and effort he put into it. We would highly recommend Kevin for any of your pets needs!
Ayah was a blessing!! This was our first time needing a cat sitter and I was a little nervous. Mr. Winston can be a little shy and usually hides when new people come over. But Ayah was able to get him out of hiding and he actually started to greet her when she would come over. She treated him so good while we were gone and I didn't worry at all. Ayah sent very thorough and thoughtful reports with pictures after each visit. I am very satisfied with the level of care she gave Mr. Winston and he seemed to enjoy their visits as well. I will definitely request Ayah again in the future.
Spencer took great care of my two kittens during his drop-in visits and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable with cats. He even scooped the litter box twice because one of my kittens likes to use it right after it’s cleaned. I would definitely trust Spencer to watch my cats again and highly recommend him.
Miss Nina did a fantastic job looking after our pup, especially with this being a last minute request. Plans arose to head to Niagra Falls and as such we could not bring our pup. Nina stopped in and checked on our pooch multiple times and the happy& smiling photos of our pup shows they got along just fine. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Batavia on Rover is $22.89 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,333 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Batavia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Batavia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Batavia. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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 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.
