“Donna was truly spectacular with my guys! I’m sure they’d give her 10/5 stars if they could! I was updated daily with pictures and videos of my dogs having fun on local adventures and regular status reports. She was a fantastic housesitter and I know Cogs and Wyatt already are missing her!”
“I have had dogs all my life but have always used a kennel. Since my girls are getting older, I really wanted them to stay in their familiar safe place...home. I interviewed a few Rover sitters and decided on Kiana, loved her personality, smile and contact with my two Westies. I couldn't be more pleased with her. She sent regular pictures and texts to let me know things were going fine. I came home to a clean house and even some peanut butter cookies! I will definitely use Kiana in the future. Thank you Kiana!”
“Tayler was amazing! Both of my boys warmed right up to her. She sent video and photo updates every day, sometimes more than once a day. I appreciated knowing my dogs were comfortable around her and were well taken care of. I’d definitely book with Tayler again in the future and would definitely recommend her to others as well.”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Megan was a really great sitter for our two cats. She gave frequent updates and many photos/videos, and peace of mind while on our vacation. Our cats were well taken care of and seemed to have barely noticed we were gone! She went above and beyond and took good care of our house as well, and left it clean and tidy.”
“Selena was absolutely incredible with our furry family. She kept us updated with adorable photos throughout our trip and it was very obvious that our babies felt loved! She kept our house spotless and was very accommodating. They are looking forward to next time! ❤️”
“Kieran did a great job taking care of my aging dog. Everything was left neat and tidy around the house and my pooch seemed calm and centered upon our return. I would ask her to house sit again for sure!”
“Scott was a wonderful pet sitter. He sent frequent updates, was patient with our pup (this was his first time with a sitter!), and was really respectful in our home. He’s kind, flexible, great with dogs, and we’re grateful for how well he took care of our pup.”
“Melinda took excellent care of our pets and home. She was communicative, dependable, and very accommodating when our plans unexpectedly changed. She even gave our cat, Tiger, her inhaler without any issues—something we were a bit nervous about, but she handled it with ease. We felt completely confident leaving everything in her hands. We'd absolutely work with her again.”
“If we could give ten stars it wouldn’t be enough to express how amazing Aimee is. She listens and cares so much about ensuring your pets are treated not only the same as we would but maybe even like royalty while we were gone. Our dog was clearly happy and relaxed with her and not depressed we were gone at all. She delivered on all promises and far exceeded our expectations in every way. She takes the responsibility very seriously and clearly loves animals. We highly recommend her for any of your pet needs as well as house sitter. She stayed in our home for five nights and her level of service to our family was extraordinary. So grateful for the ability to go away without any concerns back home and daily updates and photos. My husband was honestly ready to cancel our trip rather than leave our dog and home in the care of a stranger and Aimee’s amazing care and attention to detail for pets and humans has made him a full convert ready to already book with her again instantly. Truly look no further it doesn’t get better than Aimee!”
“Char and Ben did a fantastic job caring for our sensitive rescue dog! The daily photos and updates gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear our girl was relaxed and happy in their care. 💕”
“Merry is the best pet sitter we have had! She was attentive to everything even paying attention to the best time of day to exercise the dogs based on weather conditions. She sent lots of much appreciated photos. Highly recommend!”
“Michael was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos daily, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Michael watch Hazel again.”
“Sparkle, as always, tended to my kitties with care and left my apartment looking spotless. The kitty-os were happy to have her and i always feel safe knowing they are in her care. Thank you!”
“Tiana is a cat whisperer I swear. She took such great care of my cats and home while we were away, I will definitely book her again if possible! One of my cats is incredibly anti-social, but she came out of hiding right away and consistently throughout Tiana’s visits. She sent me pictures and videos at every visit, which helped the separation tremendously. She handled my cats picky eating like a pro, and took care of any messes my cats made. She went above and beyond in all ways possible, and we came home to a clean nice smelling apartment and happy cats. Thank you so much Tiana!”
“Amir (and Tiana) were great! It was our first time leaving our puppy Nova for an extended period of time and first time using Rover but Amir sent plenty of pictures so we knew she was well taken care of. He checked in about giving her extra treats which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Judas did an amazing job with our dogs! One of them got sick right before we left, and Judas was willing to provide the extra care he needed and he did so very lovingly. He handled extra medications and the quirks of our dogs so well, and won over the heart of our shy, anxious boy. He was a great communicator as well! Can’t recommend Judas enough, we knew our boys were in great hands which is always such a relief.”
“Jamie was everything you hope for in a pet sitter. The dogs were relaxed and in great spirits when we got home and the house was spotless. Jamie sent pictures and communicated regularly letting us know how everything was going. We have to French bulldogs that both have daily meds and he kept everything organized and on schedule.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Battin
Erin really helped us out this weekend! They were able to come meet our big and elderly dog, Tallulah, then take care of her for an overnight. Tallulah needs medications, special food, and extra time moving around and Erin took care of everything, leaving us a carefree night out of town. Will definitely book with Erin again!
So happy to have found Vanessa! She took such good care of our cat Rupi while we were gone for the week. He warmed up to her super quickly, which doesn’t always happen, and was even cuddling her and sleeping next to her at night from day one. She was super communicative and thoughtful in her care for him and our house. We will absolutely be booking her again!
Alexandra was great! We made this booking with little time to spare, but she made time to come meet our shy dog and know all the ins and outs before her stay. She was very communicative, followed care instructions perfectly with our dog who is healing from surgery, and left the house in great condition.
Angela was great with our 3 small dogs aged 9 mos to 15 years. Our overnight get-away was much more relaxing knowing they were in her experienced care. She also helped us out with our chickens which we really appreciated. Angela sent us updates and photos throughout her stay, letting us know how the dogs were doing. She was particularly attentive to the needs of our senior dog which was very kind and thoughtful. We would love to book Angela again.
Wonderful as always! this was a repeat petsitting gig because my cat was very well cared for the first time around :) Shelly is trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and always goes above and beyond. I'd absolutely recommend her, and will keep hiring her for my senior kitty's care!!
Kiana was kind enough to help with a last minute booking after my other Rover canceled the night before my trip - I was so grateful. She was detail oriented, communicated well, took good care of my 2 dogs, and left the house clean! I would book again. Thank you Kiana! 🐶❤️
Jadon was great with my reactive large dog and my health compromised small dog. He came at a time when the little one was in transition with back and bladder issues and he was kind, contientious, and communicative. I know they were in great hands while I was out of country and not able to manage. House was clean and well cared for as well. 100% will ask him again!
Jax watched our two little dogs for a week and did an excellent job. We could tell our dogs were comfortable with Jax from the meet and greet and they seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Jax sent daily photos and was responsible for their medications and supplements. Jax kept our house tidy and clean and even washed our sheets before he left, which wasn't requested but was appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Jax again!
Abigail did an amazing job! Scout (my dog) adores her. She was flexible when travel plans slightly changed. It was so nice not having to worry about Scout when we are out of town. He was well cared for. Abigail sent pictures and updated me on how Scout was doing frequently which was wonderful.. I will definitely hire Abigail again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Battin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Battin on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,488 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Battin. 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 Battin 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 Battin 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 Battin 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Battin. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
