About: My love for pets run deep & I have such a soft spot for them. Pets love me, cling to me & become comfortable with me quick. I’ve sitted for family, friends & clients on several occasions. I make sure pets are cared for, looked out for, feel safe, special & shown love during my visit. I’ve also had well taken care of animals of my own since a kid so I’m real familiar with different kind of animals. I’ve cared for many different breeds and ages of animals over the years. I currently work during the night hours so my availability during the day is pretty much open. During the week, I can care for pets between the hours of 9AM-3PM and on weekends between the hours of 8AM-8PM. I keep pets safe by making sure that their outside time is supervised. I make sure the environment is safe and clear of any hazards or dangerous things.
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: With over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m extremely passionate about their care, health, and overall well-being. I also have hands-on experience with professional dog grooming, including bathing, blow-drying, brushing, dematting, scissoring, and shaving. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, great at following detailed instructions, and prioritize clear communication with every owner. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I feed a group of 14 animals everyday for a older couple that can no longer do it themselves (or no longer prefers to lol) and that takes 2-3 hours of my evening leaving my basically fully available to fit in additional pet care all throughout the day. I am very passionate about adequate pet care. believe when it comes to caring for pets that trust is the foundation for it all. So when caring for a pet I believing following introductions and routines exactly, this helps the pet adjust and trust me a lot faster as they know I know their routine. My typical day with my dogs consists of waking up and going outside and just hanging out for a little, then I will give them breakfast and give them fresh water, after they are finished eating I clean their food bowl as well, and to end our morning routine I finish with a walk. Our afternoons usually consist of be doing any tasks or errands and when I’m home we will play with toys and hangout on the couch. The evenings usually is the same routine as the morning.

I'm injection and medication-friendly and can safely and confidently administer meds. I'm a nurse practitioner for humans at my day-job. I have a fairly flexible full time job and am available most afternoons, evenings, nights and every other weekend.

I work with animals of all sizes and breeds, am active and love taking them on walks. I'm happy to administer medications to any age dog.
About: I am a responsible college student with over three years of hands-on pet care experience, and I am thrilled to care for your furry family members! I have a steady weekday class schedule from 10:00 AM to 3.00 PM, Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours, my schedule is completely open for early morning or late afternoon drop-ins, and I love spending my entire weekend hanging out with your pets. Adult dogs have no problem with my short 3-hour class window, making me a perfect fit for overnight house sitting. I manage my pet-sitting around my college course load. I am in class from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. For house sitting, I spend my evenings, nights, and mornings at your home. I will occasionally pop out for a few hours during the day to visit my own home for meals, showers, or personal errands, but your pet will always remain my main priority. On weekends, my schedule is wide open, allowing me to provide multiple flexible drop-in visits or consistent companionship throughout the day. I prioritize keeping your pets safe and your home secure. During drop-ins and house sittings, I operate strictly within your home environment, following your exact household guidelines, tracking precise feeding portions, and handling daily litter box or potty routines meticulously. Dogs are kept on a secure leash at all times when outdoors. I double-check all door locks, security alarms, and property gates before leaving, and I send clear photo updates and text check-ins after every single visit to give you complete peace of mind.

About: I've grown up with animals my entire life and have experience caring for my own pets as well as those of friends and family. I love animals of all sizes and personalities, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and kindness. I'm responsible, organized, and communicative, and I take the trust involved in caring for someone's beloved pet seriously. I have a calm, gentle approach and enjoy taking the time to help animals feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for while their family is away. ❤️ I currently work part-time as a substitute teacher, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I'm available for cat drop-in visits, dog walks, and weekend house sitting in your home. I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's routine and needs. I understand how important consistency and dependable care are, and I'd love to help give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands while you're away! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets during walks, and watch for any changes in behavior or signs of stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away.
“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!”
About: I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies! I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 383 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 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.

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.
