“We had a great experience with Meaghan S. It was a last minute booking. She was prompt, followed what we asked of her and Luna seemed to enjoy her time with her. Will definitely be having Meghan S. back again.”

About: My family has rescued animals my whole life, and I have worked with all kinds of animals professionally since my very first job at a dog groomer. Since then, I've spent most of my time working at emergency animal vets, with foster dogs, and at doggie daycare! I love working with all species of animals and will treat yours just like my own! I'm here to make sure your pets feel happy, loved, and safe while you're away. I currently have a pretty open schedule and am looking to care for pets full time. I can easily do late nights and early mornings! When I stay in your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they're fed on time, exercised, and getting lots of attention (and cuddles if they want them!) I pay close attention to each pet's needs and act accordingly. I pride myself on being dependable and having strong communication skills. I will always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter throughout high school and had two dogs of my own. My first dog, Daisy, was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I then fostered and adopted Howie, a Chiweenie, in 2020. Both have since crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, and I miss them every day. I have regularly dog sat for neighbors, friends, and even professors in college. I love all animals of all shapes and sizes and would love to take care of your furry friend!

Whether you just need someone to come check in on your pet a few times a day or need someone to play with them all day long, I’m your girl.
“Brian is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Brian was able to help calm him and walk him or just hang out at the house with him when he needed a nap. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Brian was flexible and understanding. You are a life safer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs.

I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.

“This is our second time having Rebecca help us with our kitties while we’re gone. She does an amazing job with communication and lets us know promptly if anything around the house needs our attention when we get home. All of our cats are happy when we get home and it’s clear that she provided them with awesome care during her drop ins. We will absolutely go to her next time we need care!”
“Best cat sitter ever. Plenty of pictures, careful providing of medicines, kitty litter area spotless. She even organized Pumpkin’s cat toys! Hilarious. Will definitely use again. Thanks, Velvet!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

Brian did an excellent job as usual checking on our cat while we were away and making sure that everything was in order. He took the time to play and interact with her, give her treats, and change her food and water. We are super appreciative of you Brian!
Alexa was an exceptional sitter! She was attentive, communicative, and treated my kitty Mango like her own. I really appreciated her frequent updates, her responsiveness, and the genuine care she showed. It’s such a relief knowing I could count on her while I was away! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter! She’s the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,930 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Berkeley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Berkeley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
