“Allison did a wonderful job stopping in to check on my cat again while I was traveling! She’s dependable and has great communication. She was also flexible when I needed to change the schedule last minute. Thanks so much!”
“Dave was very friendly, punctual, well groomed, and dependable. He came to our home for the meet and greet, and the animals responded very well to him, so we knew that he would be great. He sent pictures, he took our dog for walks, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone.”
“Brody really loves animals and it shows. He will go the extra mile to care for your pets. We were gone for 2 weeks and he showed our cat extra love and attention. He took good care of our chickens and made sure they were fed and watered. I would recommend Brody to love and care for your animals.”
“Avery was excellent! She was right on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and was so kind to our golden retriever. We will certainly hire her again in the future.”
“Ava was amazing! We had a difficult ask of 3x a day medication ranging from 6am to 10pm on short notice and she not only did that but added an extra visit when our travel plans changed and lingered for snuggles with our senior cat. I highly recommend Ava and will definitely use her moving forward.”
“Riley was great to work with and took excellent care of Sadie. She was prompt, communicated often, sent photos, and was very flexible in my last minute booking request. I would highly recommend Riley!”
About: Hi there! My name is Amanda! I am currently 25 years old and one major thing about me is that I will love any pet like my own. I have never met a dog I haven't loved and truly I just don’t think it’s in the cards for me! As for experiences with pet sitting, my first experience was in high school. I would help care for pets of close relatives when they went out of town on weekends, as well as, provided walks and feedings on date nights. It was such an incredible feeling, not only getting to spend time and care for pets outside of my home but to be trusted enough within their loving homes. Little did 17 year old me know what was to come. At 18 I started being reached out to by friends of friends and more distant relatives, simply by word of mouth. It felt like a dream and still does to this day that people speak so kindly of me without any hesitation. I quickly realized just how fulfilling and passionate I am about caring for pets and soon applied and got accepted to work part time at a dog boarding center for 3 years, alongside my personal pet sitting gigs. As loving and supportive my coworkers and I tried to make it, it truly never did compare to the at home services I was simultaneously doing. Working there truly transformed my views on just how valuable and meaningful it is for both the pets and parents to feel loved and cared for in the safety and comfort of their own home, and how important and special it is to stay on their selected routines in a timely manner. As many can assume, caring for 20ish dogs at a time is much less personalized and catered towards them as a whole rather than their specific needs. I started to feel bothered and would find myself frustrated when dogs I learned to love so much were not taken care of in ways they deserved. Some on the more nervous and anxious side were put into situations they were not comfortable in and was heart wrenching to know they would so much rather be cared for at homes. Now stating this, of course some dogs are cut out for the rambunctious and social life and love it, although, definitely not all and leaving the facility was a hard but dedicated decision to put in my upmost effort to provide for dogs with detailed and trusted care at all hours, catered towards each lifestyle individually. I now currently have a list of almost 20 clients, some from when I was 17, to some I have just met this past year who reach out to me for animal care. I can’t help but assume more dogs could be cared for one-on-one under personal comforting care and I would love nothing more than to continue and expand my journey on loving and caring for pets locally around the Cincinnati area! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I currently nanny part time as well as work part time for concerts under live nation entertainment. Pet sitting truly has become my main focus especially this year so I value part time jobs that currently give me great amounts of flexibility and freedom to change and switch around schedules when and if ever needed! Alongside providing specialized care for pets, I fully endorse the upmost respect for people inviting me into their homes. I understand how important trust and communication is from both sides and how every home security is catered different towards one another. I find myself constantly double checking locked doors and really treat each home like my own, following all instructions given by the home owner.
“Jillian is very easy going, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. Our pup loved her right away! She completed Rover cards with plenty of pics and details from her visit. We will book her in the future and recommend to others!”
“Allie was so sweet and wonderful to my cats! I came back today and they were both happy and didn’t seem stressed at all about me being gone! :) I will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too, if you like. Your dog/cat/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals on and off for about 34 years) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , mini pincher Dobermans ,then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). (Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around . I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need) Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-9 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, break, lunch, then around 3-4pm, around/after dinner time, and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/cat/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, clean, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my kids, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/cat/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them ***Off leash free to run roam inside the house ***! Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!
About: Hi, I’m AJ, a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had pets since childhood and have house-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I’ll provide attentive care, keep your pets happy and comfortable, and ensure your home stays safe and well-maintained. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you always know how things are going.

I’m available most days of the week and am happy to travel and stay in your home to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I live in a quiet, two-bedroom condo with no other pets, making it a comfortable space to board cats and small/medium dogs. Since I work from home, I can provide plenty of attention all day, and take your dogs outside regularly for walks and fresh air. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, including crating if needed. I also offer house sitting to keep your pets comfortable in their own home while you’re away.
“Kimberly was, once again, a lifesaver while we were away for the holidays! She cared for our kitties so well and even went the extra mile to help out when one of them began vomiting a lot. We will be booking Kimberly as long as we can!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Batavia
Exceptional! David took care of our two dogs & 3 cats during a short vacation for our family. He was available to us relatively last minute, handled our (at times) difficult pup with patience and excellent care (they became fast friends!), and kept us fully updated with check-ins and photos. And on the day of our return when our flight was delayed then cancelled, David accommodated two additional visits very literally at the last minute. We were so grateful for his availability and care! There’s not enough gratitude I could extend here and highly recommend his care. Thank you David, again, for going above and beyond for our crew!

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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Batavia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
