“I had Fallin come stay in my home and take care of my energetic corgi and kitty. She was a literal dream. For the entire week she kept up with perfect communication - letting me know every time they walked, ate etc. I also got multiple pictures everyday and by the end I could tell the animals were just as comfortable at home with her than they are with me. My house was also left exactly how we left it, and she was very respectful of our home. I will 100% be using Fallin again and I feel so relieved I found someone I trust so I can be more relaxed away from home.”
“Hunter was very accommodating to my anxious cat. She was very understanding and patient with her, which I appreciated. She also made sure to keep me updated with pictures every day and let me know how she was doing while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking again in the future.”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, Feed, bathe and love their pets. Pet care is a regular part of my routine. I make sure to set aside time each day for feeding, walking, playtime, and cleaning up after the pets. I like to keep a consistent schedule so the animals feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure they have fresh food and water, take them on walks, give them attention, and keep their area clean. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable.

“Taylor is awesome! 🤩 She has pet sat in our home on two separate occasions and each time our pup looks completely relaxed and happy when we return. We will happily rebook with Taylor.”
“Leslie sat for our two dogs and was not only amazing with our dogs but was also a gracious houseguest. She is warm, friendly, genuine and just a lovely all around person. I highly recommend her for your pups and we will certainly be repeat customers!!”
“Thank you again, Stacy! We really appreciate your flexibility with the last minute booking. I thought I was going to need to cancel my trip but you were there and made everything possible and knew exactly what to do to care for desi. So happy we found you!!!”
“Sivani was wonderful and our dogs absolutely loved her. She sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated. We have a super high energy pup that can be a lot and she took amazing care of him. The other 2 loved laying around with her and cuddling. She was wonderful at following up in case I forgot a care detail as well.”
“Aaliyah did a great job watching both our dogs!!! She took lots of picture and they looked so happy the whole time! She left our house in great condition and highly recommend!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She watching both of our dogs for a full week in our home and not only took great care of the dogs but also left the house in perfect condition. She sent daily updates which was very much appreciated. We will most definitely use her again in the future!”
About: A pup in my care is treated like my own. I typically will take them out and about such as the trail near my home, lots of loving and stern understanding through our time together. I work from home so I have all the time in the world to walk the pup every two hours, feedings through the day and scratches behind the ear often. I live alone with a fenced in backyard with cameras in and outside my home. The pup is allowed on the couch and bed. Your pup will be comfortable in a smokeless home.
“Eric was great with my two cats, one of which is very anxious and took some serious coaxing and warming up to get her out and about. He even bought them a laser to play with them as we did not have one ourselves (just other toys)! Eric left the house in good order and was very respectful of the space. He kept in communication with us, which was much appreciated as we were first time Rover users and have never left the cats for that long before. He was patient with us in that respect. :) Thanks Eric!”
“Natalie took great care of Daisy and our house. She was very communicative and responsive from the second we contacted her. We will definitely be reaching out to Natalie again to watch Daisy.”
“Diamond did a great job watching our two dogs! She followed all of our instructions and sent lots of pictures and videos! I would definitely have her come stay at our house again and watch our dogs :)”
“sidney stayed with our dog for 2 nights. she sent pictures periodically. our house was clean when we got back! she also washed the sheets and towels and made the bed! thanks, sidney!”
“Cynthia always takes such great care of our pups. She’s a great communicator, sends lots of pictures, and even stayed an extra night when our flight was canceled. She left our house immaculate as well!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkeley Lake
Sariah gave us the best gift of all, and that was peace knowing our dogs were in good hands. She paid such great attention to our instructions regarding eating, going out, etc. We had a couple of cameras and could see that they were happy and tails were wagging. She straightened things up so that it looked nice when we came home from a long flight and also some tragic news about a death in the family. Our dogs aren’t always easy, but she had suggestions and knew what to do. I hope she will be available to come back the next time we need a sitter. She was great.❤️🐾❤️🐾
Zamiyah was so caring and attentive to Charlie. I loved that she communicated and sent updates on how he was doing and also made sure he felt right at home while I was away. I highly recommend her for your fur babies! I will be keeping her for future use. I’m glad she was the one to take care of my baby, he looked so happy while I was gone.
Hunter was very accommodating to my anxious cat. She was very understanding and patient with her, which I appreciated. She also made sure to keep me updated with pictures every day and let me know how she was doing while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking again in the future.
Chelsie is amazing! Super communicative and took care of my baby Phoebe. She took her for a walk while she was house sitting , made sure she was happy all day, and left the house clean! Also was understanding of a last min change I had to make which I greatly appreciated. Thank you for everything Chelsie!
Aram was absolutely amazing with our pup, while we were away. From the start, she was super communicative, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and even went above and beyond in a few areas without us asking. It gave us a ton of peace of mind knowing Kanye was in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a home that was in great shape. Would 100% book Aram again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter.
Rileigh did such a great job with Phoebe, I'm so grateful! My puppy absolutely loves her and that tells me a lot. She was on time, was giving me plenty of updates throughout the day, and can tell she was playing a lot with my high energy puppy which is all I can ask for and more. Thank you again for taking care of my baby!

FAQs for House Sitting - Berkeley Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Berkeley Lake on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,801 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Berkeley Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Berkeley Lake walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Berkeley Lake maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Berkeley Lake choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
