“Katherine and her family are beyond wonderful. They took such great care of our dog Rosie that at times we felt she was the one who was on vacation! Knowing your dog is safe and well cared for when you’re away is important. Knowing that she’s safe, well cared for AND loved is a gift.”
“Danielle was just AWESOME! Our pup was so well taken care of and had a blast with the other pups too! Danielle gave us great updates and pictures each day that we were away. We have had a couple of sitters on Rover and Danielle is by far the best! We will definitely be booking with her from now on!*”
“We had a great experience with Shannon and Nicholas. Highly recommend them. Our dog was well cared for and we received updates/pictures during her stay. It was a relief knowing our dog was happy and in good hands.”
“Nimbus had a great time, they went on daily 2mile walks and got a lot of attention and cuddles. We were sent daily photos/videos with updates during our time away which made the separation more bearable. Would definitely plan to use Mary again!”
About: Hi, I’m Haley, my dog skipper and I work from home. I have the space and would love to host dogs in our home. Skipper is a huge fan of sleepovers and I love all dogs! I work from home so aside from meetings (occasionally offsite) I’m typically home and have a big yard for dogs to enjoy! I also love to take walks and trip to the park if the dog enjoys it! Any dog in my house becomes a member of the family, they’re allowed to sleep in bed with me or lounge on the furniture. I have a huge fenced in yard for them to roam in and provide frequent walks for exercise.
“Barbara was great as always. Barbara was able to make some last minute accommodations for us as a result of a last minute change with our schedule. We know our Bailey is in good hands with Barbara when we travel and gladly use her services again.”
“Lorraine took great care of Pucci! She is welcoming and very attentive to his needs, as well as having a nice yard for some outside time. We received frequent photos as always feel assured that he is in great hands when we are out of town :)”
“We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Nat! I have a dog and two cats in my own. I have been pet sitting for the past five years and I am from Elmhurst Illinois. Pet care fits great into my routine… I already have clients that I take care of regularly so it is very easy to fit in my schedule What I can offer is topline care for your pet at an affordable rate. I can walk feed and check up on your pets whenever needed.
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”
“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”
“Michael and Joanna took excellent care of our pets while we were on vacation. Our dog Georgie has a special diet and needs two insulin shots a day, and they handled his feeding and meds routine exactly as we hoped. He also got plenty of much‑needed canine companionship during his stay, which helps keep up his energy as a senior pooch. Our cat Sheba had her own comfortable quarters, and everything was well-organized with the pets’ comfort in mind. They also sent regular pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. Great sitters and a great Rover experience all around!”
“Eniya was super responsive and attentive with our pup! She sent updates and pictures without having to ask. We would recommend Eniya to any of our friends and have already booked another stay.”
“Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!”
“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”
“I was so pleased with how well Jonelle took care of my Mello. She can be a little shy at first so I was glad to see her warm up and appreciated the pics and videos of my dog having a wonderful time! Highly recommend!”
“Wendy has stayed multiple times with Matthew and Michelle and she is very well taken care of! They are super responsive and Wendy always looks relaxed and happy there in the photos they send!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our dog with Kent. Our dog received 100% of his attention and care the entire time. The daily updates and photos gave us total peace of mind. We will definitely book with him again.”
“Yuliya is AMAZING! My dogs loved her so much they seconds guessed coming home with me! She is my go to dog sitter and I’m very lucky to have found her on Rover. Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus and Faustina. They’ll be back to stay with you soon!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkeley
Robert and his family took excellent care of Spruce while we were away on an extended trip for nearly two weeks. Our pup is a one year old with a lot of energy for playing and had such a blast playing endless fetch in their fenced yard and with the dogs who would come by for in-home daycare. We got absolutely regular updates (with absolutely incredible action shots!) while we were traveling and it was clear to see Spruce was having a wonderful time and was being well cared for, and that knowledge and peace of mind is such a gift especially when we were thousands of miles away. Highly recommend!
Yolanda was incredibly responsible and caring while taking care of Aurora. She provided regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Aurora had a wonderful time and even got along well with the other cat in the home. It was obvious that Yolanda truly cares about the pets she watches. We would absolutely trust her with Aurora again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

There are 5,490 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Berkeley. About 91% of Berkeley sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
