“Our large Chocolate Lab, Thor, seems to have had the best of time with Jaclyn and her human & dog family! Jaclyn is very responsive and thoughtful, answering every question with care, sending pictures of our pup, and with some gifts to send him home with at pickup. Highly recommend! Thank you so much, Jaclyn!”
“Perfect stay for our pet. First time using Rover and we sure lucked out with David! Very nice and communicative about our doggy’s day to day. My family felt like he went above and beyond caring for our Ollie, will be sure to bring him back when on vacation”
“Puppy party! I was worried my 80lb handful of a puppy was gonna be Trouble but Ashley did amazing with him! I got several pictures over our few day boarding and she was super nice and easy to deal with. She was babysitting a few other dogs at the same time but you could tell she paid attention to them individually enough to discribe how my dog sleeps lol Couldn't recommend her more!”
“Chantal was great to help us out when options where running out to watch Waylon. Chantal sent us pictures of Waylon daily having a good time with her dog and a kids pool. During our time out of state we had no stress/concerns on Waylon's care. We will definitely ask Chantal to care for Waylon in the future. 5 stars for Chantal. Jason & Paula”
“Jesse took great care of Buster and sent me several photo updates showing what a great time my boy was having! I’m grateful for Jesse’s flexibility with the last minute date change. Highly recommend.”
“Arlene was everything a petsitter should be…reliant, kind, level-headed and doting. We were visiting New Bern on our boat and had an unexpected trip to take. Knowing nobody in town, we turned to Rover (first-time users) and found Arlene. She was great! Sent photos and an update daily, and was flexible when we had to add an extra day to our trip.”
“Very happy with this dynamite duo- beautiful property- huge flat yard, updates throughout stay and overall just kind people! ❤️ They pointed out a lump on our Senior Golden (he has several) which lets us know the boys are getting their rubs in!”
“Was extremely happy with the week Our pup developed some separation anxiety while we were gone Charlie went above and beyond to make sure Cai was comfortable including sleeping on the couch next to him so he wasnt alone or scared Constant communication and pictures daily Highly recommend was a great experience all the way around!!!”
“Michelle is the friendliest and most accommodating dog sitter we’ve ever had. We appreciate her for taking good care of Max. We highly recommend and would avail her service in the future”
“Juliana is hands down THE BEST! She is super knowledgeable about how to best introduce your pup to hers. Her house is a haven for pups, with a nice big fenced yard, plenty of toys, and lots of soft places for naps. My sweet old man absolutely loved his time with her, and we will absolutely be using her for all of our boarding going forward!”
“Agnesa was fantastic as a sitter. We contacted her on fairly short notice to watch our six month old sheltie Laska, and she was flexible around timing with our flights out of and back into Newark. She kept us up to date on Laska regularly with pictures and videos, she did quite a bit of training with him that was very helpful (we’ve learned a lot from her), and it was clear when we picked him up that he had a wonderful time with her! We appreciated her communication with us and her care for Laska. We will definitely be contacting Agnesa again the next time we need someone to watch Laska!”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
“Emily was able to watch our dogs with no notice. She was awesome and so caring. Definitely would have my pups stay with her again. She has a great property for the dogs to run loose. They loved it!”
“Payten was amazing. I will definitely be using her again. It was my baby's first time being with a sitter. He is very reserved and stubborn, but he really warmed up and trusted her. That right there shows me that she is a person to be trusted. She kept me updated regularly, even sending pictures. Thank you Payten!”
“Walter and his family are amazing! We are new pet owners and they let us come over for a meet and greet prior to booking to help calm our nerves. Our puppy was excited to be there with his caring children. He would give us updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay. When our flight was delayed and diverted to another airport, Walter was gracious enough to have her stay one more day. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! We look forward to working with you and your beautiful family again soon!”
“Renee was an amazing sitter!! My pup can be both a little shy and very energetic but she did a great job taking care of him. She was always friendly and prompt in her communication and I’d trust her with any dog!”
“Cindy was just cheery and bubbly from drop off to pick up. Ginger is a hunger strike dog for the first day or so and Cindy was wonderful and even hand fed Ginger to make sure she ate - Ginger is such a drama queen! Wonderful sitter and would highly recommend!!”
“Barbara took amazing care of my anxious dog. She provided daily updates of how my dog was adjusting. Thankfully, my dog adjusted quickly and had a wonderful time playing with Dobby and the daycare dogs. I was only a little worried my dog wouldn't want to go home because Barbara took such great care of her.”
“The whole experience was easy and stress-free. They were caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“When I met Chris prior to leaving my dog with him, I felt confident leaving my 10 year old beagle in his hands because I could sense he genuinely cares and loves for animals. Toby immediately gravitated to him. During his stay, Chris provided daily updates with pictures; they went on nice long trail walks, enjoyed couch cuddles, and relaxed. I definitely recommend using Chris for your pets next stay!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Berkeley
Absolutely wonderful experience! Needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby as I unexpectedly needed to go out of town for a family matter. Not only was Dimitri flexible and professional, he provided me daily photos and updates! He followed all of the feeding instructions perfectly and took my pup to the dog park daily. I highly recommend Dimitri and will be using his services again in the future!
We love how David took care of our Chihuahua, followed the feeding schedules and overall a great and reliable person to take care of our beloved dog. No issues at all... Daily communication with pictures and updates on how our dog was doing... It was the first time we leave our dog with someone and she just loved. 100% recommended

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, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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 WV 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.
