“Gabriel was extremely patient with our two rescues giving each the attention the needier one thrives on, while giving space to our more nervous pooch until she warmed up to him. Both in just the right amounts to make our dogs feel more relaxed and secure. Thank you Gabriel!”
“Ron took care of our two dogs overnight. He initially came over for a meet and greet, which was helpful. He’s a great communicator and sent us lots of pics and updates. Highly recommend.”
About: I've spent years caring for my own pets, including senior dogs and cats, and I understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. I'm comfortable with puppies, shy dogs, counter surfers, herding breeds, and dogs who simply need alittle extra patience. Your pets safety, happiness, and routine always comes first. Please note: For Constant Care: If your pet needs someone home with them and cannot be left alone for more than 2–3 hours at a time, there will be an added constant care rate of $75 per day. I schedule my day around making sure they're fed, exercised, and given plenty of love. My job allows me to be very flexible with my time. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.
“Erin is an amazing pet sitter. She’s super responsible, attentive, responsive, and empathetic, which made it so much easier for me to be away. She took care of my cat just as well as I would, following my instructions in detail and, sometimes, even exceeding my expectations. She also kept the house very clean, I came back and everything looked spotless. What I really appreciated was the communication. She sent updates and photos minimum 2-3 times a day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. On top of that, she watered my plants and even picked up my cat’s medication, which was truly above and beyond. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her.”
“Giana was amazing with my pups, I think they miss her more than than the girls missed me. Giana stayed at the house and left it just the way I left it clean, tidy and sent plenty of pictures and videos while I was gone. I would highly recommend and trust her for daily walks, stay overs, or other sitting needs.”
“Katie is an exceptional pet sitter. We would 100 % recommend her. She asked good questions and listened well, taking the absolute best care of our dog Maeve. Kind hearted and knowledgeable, I wouldn’t hesitate to entrust any animal to her care. Well done Katie!”
“Dorothy was great (and patient) with our six month old puppy who is cute and loving but can be a rascal at times! Our house was clean when we got home and Dash was happy. Will book again!”
About: My background as a Holistic Practitioner allows me to bring a calm, nurturing presence that helps even the most anxious pets feel safe and loved. I have 10 years experience in pet sitting and specialize in senior cats and dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications and managing specialized care. I also offer frequency therapy, which is a wonderful gentle way to soothe separation anxiety and support them through any health issues. I will treat your place as if it were my own and ensure that you return to a clean and well cared for home. I’m a digital nomad I work remotely from my laptop which gives me the freedom to work from anywhere. Your pets will have constant companionship and minimal disruption to their routine. I have most recently been traveling as a house and pet sitter on Trusted Housesitters and have many wonderful reviews. I have fallen in love with the animals and the freedom it has given me. I have decided I would like to do this professionally and have just signed up with Rover. Looking forward to meeting you.
“We hired Angela for a second consecutive night, and it was clear our dog completely adored her. He became so attached! Angela is consistently fantastic, reliable, and deeply caring. We are so grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Melany pet sat my four animals for me for an overnight. She was easy to communicate with before the sit, took lots of cute pictures during, and left my house very clean. I came home to happy animals all around. Would highly recommend for any of your needs on Rover!”
About: I have about 2 years of pet care experience, mostly with dog sitting and walking. I have worked mostly with larger dog breeds, but I have experience with a variety of dog sizes. I also have experience in small mammal pet sitting, such as guinea pigs and chinchillas. I am available to work around most people's schedules, if you are concerned please reach out and we can discuss what would work best for you and your pets. I am very detail oriented and good with instructions. I make sure that all instructions and care are followed as well as staying in touch to update you on your dog's fun times!
About: I’ve spent several years caring for pets as part of my work as a nanny and personal assistant, so I’m very used to routines, communication, and handling animals with patience. I’ve cared for high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Dobermans, as well as small dogs, seniors, and puppies. What sets me apart is that I’m calm, dependable, and observant, I notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy right away. I’m comfortable with crate routines, structured walks, feeding schedules, basic commands, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. I’ve also handled senior-dog needs like slow walks, medication reminders, and gentle mobility support. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions carefully, and send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident your pup is happy and safe. Whether your dog needs long walks, quiet company, playtime, or extra patience, I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school remotely, which means my schedule is very flexible and I’m home the majority of the day. When I’m house-sitting, your dog gets consistent company, supervision, and attention, I’m not someone who will be in and out all day. If I ever need to step out for a quick errand or class requirement, I always communicate ahead of time. I believe in being respectful of your home and completely transparent about my schedule, so you’ll always know what to expect. Because my program is online, I’m able to structure my study time around your pet’s needs: walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and potty breaks. This setup lets me provide calm, consistent care while keeping your dog’s routine as stable and stress-free as possible. When I care for pets in your home, I keep everything calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your dog’s routine exactly: feeding schedule, walk times, crate rules, and any house guidelines you prefer. I’m especially careful with doors, gates, and outdoor time, and I handle strong or high-energy dogs confidently. I keep your home tidy, pick up after pets right away, and treat your space with respect. Throughout the stay, I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel secure in their familiar environment and give you complete peace of mind.
“Channing housesat for our two dogs and our cat with loving care. She obviously knows a lot about taking care of animals and our three family members--two of which are well past middle age--responded well. We look forward to working with Channing in the future!”
“Ruth was incredibly helpful in guidance through the process of using Rover for the first time as well as preparing ourselves for someone else to watch Batman and account for his needs while we were away. She set up a meet and greet which helped decrease all the nerves we had around using this service for the first time, and made sure the handoff when we did leave for vacation was easy and clear. Batman seemed comfortable around her from the first visit and she made sure to keep us updated with frequent pictures and check-ins while we were away. She was also an excellent and clean house guest.”
“Cathleen is a godsend! I have 6 dogs all with their own needs and ranging from 10lbs to 100lbs. While away on my trip I felt completely relaxed with Cathleen in my home taking care of all my pups. She took pics, played with them, and even did some minor grooming. If she was unsure about something she always asked questions and went above and beyond when completing tasks. I HIGHLY recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter and I will definitely be hiring her again for my future trips!”
“Tyler and Sam were great! They took great care of our dog, were respectful of our home, and were very communicative. When we got home our dog was a happy boy and our house was spotless. Would be happy to book them again!”
“Victoria was our house-sitter for 5 days for our two herder mix 4 year old litter mates Shemp and his sister LIttle Bear. Victoria was absolutely fabulous. She bonded immediately with the pups and was very affectionate and responsive to them. She was easy to work with as we briefed her on our layout and routine for the dogs and our house. She was thoughtful in her daily activities and updates, and had the dogs best interests at heart in making sure they had fun and exercise and training. We would ask Victoria back again in a heartbeat.”
“Noely took fantastic care of our baby pup for two days in a row when we had some plans away with friends. She’s very knowledgeable and got along great with our pup. We look forward to working with her again.”
“Darla did a great job with Rudy, Evie, Boo Boo and PepperJack! I was out of country for a week and nervous to be so far away and doing Rover.com for the first time. Darla has excellent attention to detail is cares about every nuance of taking are of my furry family. Thank you Darla for doing such an awesome job! Leah”

Cathleen was excellent working with our dog Marley. Marley wasn’t quite prepared to have someone take care of her while we were away and Cathleen was incredible at being patient and caring for her needs. She went above and beyond by texting, communicating and sending us photos. We will definitely use Cathleen again as we feel Marley has made her part of our family.
Angela is kind, caring and trustworthy. We trusted her to take care of our 15 yo senior dog, Teo, at our home for 5 days. She bonded with Teo on her first visit and the transition was seamless. She handled his needs, his medication and it seems, looking at the pictures Angela sent to us while we were away, that they had a good time together!
We feel so fortunate to have found Gillian (Gigi)! She had a difficult task with her stay at our house, and his name is Kitty (the elderly pug). He not only requires extra work in the daytime, but can be a huge challenge at night by not sleeping (howling) in the night. We cannot express our gratitude for her care and patience with this guy. He is over 17 years old, and suffering from cognitive decline and nerve issues (back end failures). We typically travel with him knowing the level of work he can be, but this trip was due to a death in the family and we had to fly (and he cannot fly with us). She stuck with him, kept trying things to help him be comfortable, and we greatly appreciate her. Not easy if sleep deprived! We have two others - dog and cat - who were hopefully easier and more entertaining for Gigi! (oh and a duck) We felt nothing but total confidence in having them in her care, and in our home. She was not just a wonderful caretaker for our fur babies, but a lovely houseguest, too. That made an extra huge difference since our trip was due to a death in the family - we could go and be focused on that. We were updated throughout the day and with photos and videos and loved having that communication. If she is ever willing to take us on again, we will definitely be seeking her services. Give her a try - you will love her and your fur baby will too!
Megan was so great with our puppy and diabetic cat. Last minute our puppy went into heat and Megan was a champ about it. She was very communicative and sweet about sending updates. Our pets were happy to see us, but very clearly well taken care of. She left our house better than we left it. Stella and Winnie can’t wait to have her back!

FAQs for House Sitting - Batto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Batto 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 5,857 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Batto. 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 Batto 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 Batto 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 Batto 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
