“Amanda is the sweetest, most caring sitter you could find. My 3 kitties also give her 5 stars. She plays with them, takes many pictures, gives them love, and makes them feel secure.”
About: Hello! Please Check my availability below before booking ☺️ I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with all sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to big breeds like German Shepherds and Presa Canarios. I’m confident handling high-energy pups, gentle with seniors, and patient with shy or stubborn personalities. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or meds, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pup like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! 🐾 Monday- Friday: Available after 5pm 🐾 Saturdays: Available all day 🐾 Sundays: Available all day I’m happy to work with your schedule when I can, so feel free to reach out with any questions! While I don’t currently offer overnight boarding, I do have a fenced-in backyard where my dogs love to run and play—it’s a great space for safe outdoor time! As for my cat, she’s not a fan of the outdoors, but I still make sure she gets enrichment and movement by taking her on walks when she’s in the mood. I’m all about giving pets what they need to feel happy, safe, and comfortable.
“Sarah was incredible with our two cats while we were on a trip! She was highly responsive and proactive, and we felt like our cats were in really great hands the entire time.”
About: I've worked in dog daycare, as a dog bather, walker, and sitter. I'm comfortable meeting dogs where they are at and learning how to do right by each pup My main job is working within a pet salon, so I plan to do Rover on my short days and/or days off. Typically, I ask for 24 hours ahead for booking. Although, I am willing to work with you because life happens. Let me know of any needs your pet may have. I've been trained in canine first aide and I will do whatever is needed to make my visit safe and happy
About: NOTE: I am only available for drop ins from 6 am-7:30 am and 4:45 pm-10 pm, Monday thru Friday. Saturdays and Sundays are much more flexible. I provide a 5 star experience for all doggies. They will enjoy a scrumptious meal prepared by me. Then they will have all inclusive belly rubs and long walks. Their evening will consist of treats and retiring to the couch or bed where they will get a good night's sleep. If just being checked on or walked, they will enjoy their time playing and being rewarded for being a good boy or girl with delicious treats. I promise to take care of your furr babies as if they were my own. I have always owned dogs and they are seriously the best kind of companion, paws down! I currently have 2 pups and a cat.
“We had a great experience with Keirra! She took great care of our cats; she was very communicative throughout the process, very easy to work with and kept us up to date how the cars were doing every day.”
“William was fantastic with our kitties! He also was gracious when my trip was cut short and i arrived home six days earlier than planned. I really appreciated him stepping and securing a refund through Rover!! We will definitely use William again and highly recommend him to others!”
“Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. As an adult I got involved in helping train law enforcement dogs. After replying I came back and decided to become a professional dog trainer. I work overnight shifts a few days a week but am available most days during the day. I spend a lot of time working with my own dogs and can offer training if you are interested. I have a fenced yard and three dogs. I have a kennel room that allows for plenty of room for care and a basement that I use as a training facility. My dogs can be rotated on a basis if your dog is not pet friendly.
About: I have 4 cats of my own, but I've taken care of animals my entire life! We had pets ranging from cats, dogs, fish, birds, bunnies, to chickens! I have often dog/house sit for a family friend and their two dogs, as well as her sister's other two dogs, and my own sister's 4 pets when they are out of town! I am used to needy and affectionate animals, but also know how to work well with more shy animals. I'd love to meet your fur baby and help your family out! The easiest would be a stop in and do checks, but I am also able to stay at your home if need be! I work Tuesday-Thursday 10 am-6 pm, Friday 10 am- 3 pm, and every other Saturday 10 am -3 pm. Sunday and Monday are totally free!! The easiest routine would be a stop in and do checks, but I am also able to stay at your home if need be! I work Tuesday-Thursday 10 am-6 pm and Friday/Saturday 10 am -3 pm. Sunday and Monday are totally free! I will take every house rule into consideration when caring for not only your pet, but your home! I follow very specific feeding and care instructions with the few families currently help, as well as with my own cats, so I am used to a specific routine! I love to make sure your fur babies are as comfortable without you as they can be, like you were never gone!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.
“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”
“Charnell did an amazing job with our 2 cats! She responded quickly to my messages, sent updates and pictures, and I came home to happy kitties. I would definitely recommend Charnell for your pet care needs!”
“We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!”
About: My name is Taylor and I am new to the Saint Charles area! I live with my 2 year old cat Sushi who is the cuddliest cat to ever cuddle. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, so I know that your furry friend is an important member of the family. I have over 10 years of experience feeding, watering, and providing exercise and walks to dogs, as well as caring for and providing enrichment to cats. My keen eye for detail ensures that I follow any and all instructions when it comes to your pet’s care and when visiting your home. I know pet parents love getting updates on their fur babies when they’re away (same), so I make sure to send plenty of pictures and detailed updates whenever providing a service. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! 😊 I work in a hybrid environment, so I’m available throughout the day on Monday and Friday, and in the evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I am available for services on weekends as well, and will update my calendar if I am ever unavailable. I am very responsible and will follow any specific instructions you have thoroughly. Protecting your pet and your home are my number one priority when pet sitting.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a kid. Today, I still have two family dogs and two cats that I absolutely adore. One of my favorite things to do is get outside and exercise, so if your dog loves long walks, runs, or adventures, I’m always happy to help them burn off some energy! I’m very comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved! Schedule I work from home with a very flexible schedule during the week, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My family dogs and cats stay at my parents so I don’t have any pets in my apartment.

Taylor was amazing and attentive to our kitty. She made sure he had what he needed and then gave him lots of cuddles and play sessions. She even cleaned up a small mess that he made while we were away. She will go above and beyond to take care of your fur babies and pet you know of any concerns!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,344 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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 , 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.
