“Heather is the most amazing sitter ever. Mischa isn’t friendly towards anyone but Heather took the extra steps to try and win her over. She would walk Max outside to go potty when he was being stubborn. She was informative, kept in contact and so very kind to my doggos. I will a thousand percent recommend Heather to anyone.”

“Aly did an excellent job with our pups! We loved the pictures she took and her communication with us was very good as well! We are hoping to utilize her services again soon!”

About: I've helped take care of many dogs and cats as well as other animals within my main family and extended family for as long as I've been able to! I've helped out with puppies, kittens, and full grown pets. I also have some hands-on experience with senior care. Currently my availability is primarily within the midday stretch on most days. 11AM to 2PM. Though I can extend the earlier hours to 10AM if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow the owner's care instructions closely. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet has fresh water, is fed if requested, gets plenty of attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and I can administer basic medications if needed. I'll also provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For dog walks, I prioritize safety, keeping dogs securely leashed and tailoring the pace and distance to their age, energy level, and needs. I'll make sure they get the exercise and enrichment they're used to while staying safe and comfortable. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible so they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away.

“Keith did a wonderful job looking after my three pups. He is reliable and responsive. He gave my 3 pups lots of attention during each drop-in visit with tending to their needs and giving a little play-time in the middle of each day. I always feel guilty when leaving them for a full day but Keith took care of them as his own. We will definitely be booking with Keith again!”

I can provide neighborhood walks multiple times a day. I own two dogs and two cats. My dogs are experienced in meeting and sharing a space with other animals.

I can also arrange private yard time with no interactions with my pets outside as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Berkeley on Rover is $22.47 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 628 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.

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.
