“Stella was great with Rosie!! She sent lots of updates and pictures. She was very responsive and was so awesome with Rosie during the meet and greet! She was able to stay at my house and take care of Rosie which was great for our pup! We would definitely book Stella again!”
About: Professionally taken care of various species of animals such as cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, birds, rodents, ferrets, and spiders. Exotic animals are my speciality, but caring for domestic animals is where my animal care experience began. I work a full time job as a zookeeper and take care of large exotic animals. I also care for my personal cats and other pets at home. I have polices and procedures for both my cats and exotic animals that help me to better take care of them at home and away from home.
About: I am a reliable and dependable sitter. While I am new to the game, I enjoy getting to watch your furry friends. Whether that means walks, time on the couch, or anything in between, I’m ready to meet your pet! I work full time, so I would no doubt be able to care for someone’s pet before and after work. I could also swing by during the day, but that is assuming the location is close (within 15 minutes) to work. I do not have my own pets; but, when I have cared for others, I make sure to follow the parent’s instructions carefully. Most of the time, that looks like the pets being able to roam around when I’m home with them, and safely secured when I am not there. .
“Sean was wonderful! He genuinely cares about animals, sent thoughtful updates throughout, and followed every instruction perfectly. I came home to a happy, relaxed pet. Highly recommend, and will absolutely book again!”
“Amy is the best! We had a great feeling about Amy at our meet & greet and we booked her almost immediately to take care of our pups for a week. She was very thorough before her stay in learning about our dogs as well as our home. She sent daily updates and pics so we were never worried or concerned. Our house looked exactly the same when we returned. She even changed our sheets for us which was an unexpected surprise! We will use Amy again and again!!!”
About: I have an amazing dog park on my rooftop that will allow your fur babies to socialize/play as much as their hearts desire! I know pet parents are looking for somewhere fun yet safe for their children to be housed while away and not have a single care in the world. I work fully remote so I will be with your fur babies majority of the time. As I work remote, I enjoy getting away from the desk, getting some of that fresh New York air, and I’ll make sure to take your pups along with me. In my home, your pets will roam freely as they please. I take a chance to get away from the desk any time I need and I will surely bring your fur baby along with me.
“Sophie was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my two dogs with her. She sent me updates and pictures so that I knew how they were doing, and that was super helpful. I would 100% trust my dogs in her care again!!”
About: I have worked with / owned & loved horses, cats & dogs since I was a young child. I love animals and will take great care of your baby while you are away ! I am flexible in my schedule right now as I'm working on selling my home / moving cities so I am in between jobs. I would love to spend my spare time with animals right now ! I can do play dates in your yard if you have a fenced in yard. We can throw the ball or go on a walk or to the park. Whatever your pup likes best. I can fill water & food bowls and dispense medication as long as the instructions and pill pockets are left out.
“Melissa came to the house early Sunday morning to be with Tootsie and Gizmo. She stayed with them until Saturday evening. They were well cared for. Thank you very much, Melissa.”
“Aaron took great care of my rambunctious puppy. He provided constant communication about everything and was very attentive to my pup's needs. He even went above and beyond and came back to let Boba out for an extra potty because I wouldn't be home until later than we thought. Boba is happy and from the pix and videos, it looks like he made a new bestie in Aaron.”
About: I didn’t grow up with pets so when I became a pet parent 10 years ago, I had to learn from square one what it takes to care for an animal. My animals are special and have some special needs so I’ve gained many skills over the years such potty training, basic dog training, and medication administration for both dogs and cats. I’ve used Rover myself in the past so I understand how important building trust is when having someone new take care of your pets. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to get to know your pet(s)! I have my own cat and dog who have fairly flexible schedules so I can prioritize your pet care needs. For my own pets, I do potty and breakfast in the morning, an afternoon potty break, an evening walk followed by dinner, and one final potty break before bed. I can fit your preferred schedule around my pet’s schedule. Each animal has their own unique needs and I’m happy to cater to what works best for you. For example, does your animal need me to sing them a special song before dinner? Does your animal need space from other animals? Is your animal mischievous and needs to be watched at all times? I’m looking forward to accommodating your needs.
“Ashley did a great job with all my animals. She was caring, responsive, communicative, prompt, and patient. I will be using her to take care of my animals again! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve owned cats my whole life and been around dogs just as much! I love all animals as if they’re my own and just can’t get enough of those little furry faces. I’ve cared for young and senior cats. As well as sick cats. I’ve house sat and pet sat dogs multiple times before and am not shy to do it again! Please trust me with your babies, I promise to do my best to fill your shoes when you aren’t home <3 I am currently an open schedule! I can drop in to check on your pets from 8am-6pm. My schedule is very flexible so don’t worry if you need me to drop by earlier or later, it can all be discussed! I am ultra cautious about closed and locked doors and tend to check on my pets every other hour to make sure all is well. I love to play with my cats during the day so that they can get a good nights rest! I feed my own pets on a schedule every day, with the exception of a few treats, of course. 🤭
“Kerry was great! Very loving sitter and I appreciated that she sent pics of my cat Bootsy while I was away. She made me feel very comfortable while having to be away from home!”
“Brooke did her usual superb job of caring for Bingo who can be a bit of a challenge at times. She took such good care of our fur baby and kept us updated with reports and pictures. We feel lucky to have her taking care of Bingo allowing us to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind.”
“Madison and Joshua were great. They provided great service with clear attention to our dogs and their needs. They took care of our dog family for a long home sit. We received lots of pics and updates. I highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve had an assortment of pets my whole life, and was a groomer for several years. I’ve worked with pets big and small, from the greatest of Danes and even creepy crawlies! I love working with animals and have nothing to do but snuggle pets in my spare time! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to help accommodate you in any way I can! I want to bring comfort to your pets while you have to be away! As a fur mom of a couple of “Velcro” dogs myself, I know how sad they can be without us! I really love to chat with them while I am there!
About: I foster for the Humane society and other rescues. I know animal first aid. Degree in wildlife Biology. I have two dogs of my own, and one cat. I wake up at 7 and feed and walk everyone. After they are done eating we play or cuddle depending on the pets personality. Kittens and puppies eat lunch. If you want your pet to eat three meals please ask. Evening time around 7-8 is Dinner for everyone. Between these times is when there are short walks and play. I don't have a fenced yard yet. I have two dogs at home. One is a senior shih Tzu that only wants to lay around all day. The other is a Bull terrier that is kept outside or in the garage. He gets along with female dogs only so he will be kept away from most pets. I have a cat that loves everyone including dogs. I keep her claws trimmed just in case. If there is a accident I have quick clot and other first aid available.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berclair
Josh was amazing on our first housesit. I always have a lot of details that I share and he was very attentive as we ran through everything. Josh was very communicative, arrived right on time despite a thunderstorm, and walked Styles right on his schedule. Josh was very considerate of our home, leaving everything in order. We're looking forward to his next, slightly longer stay! Highly recommend Josh to watch after your babies!!
Aaron was great and very attentive. Send pictures of each animal and send an update on each time which one is fed and taken out. Aaron was a great house Sitter and Dog Sitter and I also have cats and a rabbit and all of them was well taken care of five star rating.🙂💜👍🏾
Rachel was so kind and so good with my three dogs! She was also very present and attentive when staying at my house which made me feel so comfortable being away from my babies. She kept me updated with pictures and was communicative while I was away which is something that I really appreciate when using a dog sitter. Highly recommend!
Faith took great care of our dog, cat, and our home while we were away on a short trip. I was nervous about leaving them but it was such peace of mind to have her available to spend the night at our home where our pets are most comfortable. She checked in here and there which was very reassuring!
This was our second time working with Bailey. There was an unexpected hiccup the night before the trip, but Bailey quickly rectified it. They took great care of Ellis and she was a happy pup when we returned. The house was in great order and they ran a load of laundry.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Berclair is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $65 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Berclair 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 Berclair 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 Berclair 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
