“Such an amazing dog sitter! Leah helped watch Obie for the week we were out of town and helped him whether a snow storm while communicating with us the whole time. Sent pictures and updates regularly and very responsive to messages. Thank you so much and will definitely ask her to help with Obie if we need to go out of town again!”
“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Ebony is always great with JD. He can be shy but this is the 3rd time with her and he actually was waiting anxiously for her to open the door. She sends pictures and keeps you updated. My JD has allergies and she sent me pics to make sure he was ok or did she need to do anything. We will continue using Ebony because we can relax and know that he is in good hands”
“This was Winnie’s second time staying with Linda & her husband. Winnie acted like she was reuniting with life-long friends!! And Linda always ensures that Winnie gets plenty of exercise when she stays - Winnie just loves her walks. I can’t say enough about the fantastic care she receives when staying with Linda.”
“We had a fairly short notice trip and needed to leave our two dogs for a week. We took them for a daycare first the week before, and they were super excited to go back when we dropped them off for trip.”
“Karen was awesome! I’m so happy I found a dog sitter I can trust. She’s not only good with dogs, but has a dog friendly environment that made my dog feel right at home. She also sent plenty of pics and kept me updated. Can’t wait to take a trip again and have a peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“Tre'Ana is a great sitter and I will definitely use her services again. When I dropped him off her daughter wanted to play with soon as I got in the house lol. I appreciate when the family loves on Tyson just as much as I do. Thank you so much!”
“First let me say, I am one of those nervous dog moms, I felt at ease right away. She sent me pics daily of my baby & a video. You could tell he was happy & made himself at home bc he felt comfortable & loved. It was nice to receive the updates with little tid bits on my fur baby. Ivy noticed the little things about gizmo right away, like his sleeping habits, & that brought my comfort level Way up! Thank you so much for everything. We had also toyed with the idea of extending our vacation one more day lol we will def be rebooking!”
“We have booked Leslie twice now, and she is great with our dog! She goes above and beyond to ensure that your pet is safe and well cared for. She responds quickly to messages and sends lots of photos. I didn't worry about our dog at all while she was with Leslie.”
“Needed a back up sitter while I was out of town for work, Christy is great with dogs and made herself available without hassle. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”
“Natalie is the very best dogsitter! She kept me informed with tons of pictures and updates the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated. Natalie was super accommodating, easy to communicate with, and she took amazing care of my pup! Also, she has a huge backyard, which my pup thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Natalie!”
About: I managed a facility where I was in charge of boarding dogs of all sizes and taking care of them for about 3 years. I also occasionally volunteer at animal shelters and I love each and every single dog so much! I’m trained in giving medication, bathing, feeding and taking care of the over all health of your dog. I also do well with most aggressive dogs. I’d love so much to meet your pets :) I work a full time job, and I am off every day by 2pm. My job is flexible, so I can also leave early whenever I want. I enjoy having lots of daylight left when I get off work so I can walk and take care of dogs! I have 2 dogs who LOVE making new friends. I have a big fenced backyard that is perfect for the pups to run around. We play outside often and go for lots of walks!
“Caitlin and Adam were great with our puppy, and especially on such short notice!! When we picked her up, she was so tired and seemed to have so much fun with their family :) The updates were great and we are so grateful for their help, flexibility, and time this past weekend.”
“Robert is an awesome dog boarder/dog watcher. He provided us with good updates and all the other things a good dog host does, but what sets him apart is is way with dogs. Our dog is usually defensive towards unknown guys, but with Robert, she was instantly at ease. I would 100% recommend Robert to anyone with a dog that is anxious or uncertain of others. He is a gem as a sitter/boarder in Rover! Thank you Robert!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2008. I taught our miniature pincer and chihuahua mix named Rosie how to sit, jump, and rollover. My present-day dog named Bunny, she is the sweetest dog in town. I’ve taught her how to low-five for treats, lay on my legs during Sunday naps, and keep to herself on walks (she’s a very social dog). Wake up, let the dog(s) out, feed them breakfast, and wipe their feet if it is muddy out. Let them out during lunch and feed them lunch, then let them out again after work (4pm). Feed them dinner, then let them out again around 9pm before bed. I work from home full-time, so these tasks are consistently met. In my own home, I stick to the schedule outlined above. In somebody else’s home, I would also stick to a schedule that has been provided by the owner.
“Paula is wonderful! She is a very kind person who took excellent care of our Lennie. Also, she was very responsive to all of our texts and even texted photos of him. Lennie came home a very happy guy! I highly recommend her and I will definitely work with her again.”

Briana seriously saved us! Our original sitter canceled the same day right before our spring break trip, and Briana stepped in without hesitation. She kept us updated with pics and videos the whole time and was so friendly and easy to work with. Our dog Nyla enjoyed her stay so much! Especially the walks and dog park! We’ll definitely be using her again! Thank you sooo much Briana!! We appreciate you a lot!
We boarded our reactive/needy/anxious dog-Zeppelin at Mayven's and she took very good care of him. Zeppelin seemed to really like her and her boyfriend. She was very responsive and I would definitely board Zeppelin at her place again. I'm so glad Zeppelin got a good vacation too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Berkeley home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Berkeley.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Berkeley sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
