“Emily was great! She stayed with my three cats and my dog from a Thursday through the weekend and all seemed happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. She also left my house at least as good as I left it, which is always super appreciated, especially after a long travel day and busy work trip. I will definitely try to book with Emily again in the future.”
“My little guy does not warm up quickly but Morgan was great with him! She sent lots of pictures and videos for the week I was gone and I felt like he was well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend Morgan!”
“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“Christina was great and I’m a little more than picky about who stays with my dogs. She was responsive and attentive and proactively communicated the entire time. She left the house very clean and my dogs love her.”
“Hunter was fantastic! They provided updates on Murph and how he was doing, kept Murph company and made sure he was well loved and well taken care of. Hunter stayed the weekend at our house with Murph and was a great house guest as well, left the house in perfect condition!”
“Jordan was a great dog sitter. Our dog felt really comfortable with her and snuggled with her the whole time. Jordan sent lots of pics, kept the house tidy, and was very responsive to texts. We’ll definitely hire her again.”
“The few times we had left Jamie was always with a close friend (through their dog) so we were a bit nervous in leaving him with anybody. We did a meet and greet with Summer and in just a few minutes of interaction she dispelled any concerns we might have. She always wanted to know what we want and expect and never told us this was "her way". Communications and images were much more than we could have ever expected. Jamie was in good and loving hands. We and Jamie now look forward to our next trip.”
“Alexis is an easygoing, fun-to-be-around lady. She listens, takes notes, asks specific questions and likes dogs even when they jump up and be rude. I wish I could hire her on a weekly basis to watch my babies, even without going on vacation, haha.”
“Kate is just wonderful! Our puppy and home were perfect when we got back from our trip. I highly recommend Kate and will definitely use her again! We got updates and pictures twice a day! Thank you Kate for making our vacation a joy.”
“Mandy was great staying at our home with our dog during a family vacation. Very communicative, we never felt out of the loop with how things were going back home. Thanks for taking such good care of Barrett!”
“Gabby is amazing! We did a last minute booking and she was more than willing to she also went above and beyond the duties expected of her. She’s amazing! My dogs love her. She communicates so well with what they are doing or any issues that arise. Lots of photos too!”
About: Hi all, If you are looking for a pet sitter who truly connects and understand your pets and saves you any anxiety, look no further! I have been told repeatedly that I have magic when it comes to dogs and am a natural magnet for all dogs! I have been a foster mom for dogs working with a local organization and have fostered 15 + dogs and sent them to their furever homes! I seem to have what it takes to really makes dogs comfortable with me and allow me to be their new best human friend. If you pick me, I promise you that your cutie pie is in safe and responsible hands! I am currently out of the corporate world and considering pet sitting full time because I love dogs and feel I have a natural gift for taking care of them. I am a part-time yoga teacher and may be out for some days of the week for a couple of hours. I strongly believe in giving the dogs space and time to earn their trust and for them to feel totally comfortable. Hence, I would consider each dog as a personalized case and give them what they individually need to relax. Be it, frequent trips outside or play with them or even leave them alone to observe and decompress. Each dog is different. So, being adaptable and attuned to their needs is my topmost priority. Taking them outside for a quick or longer walk is a non negotiable (unless the pawrents are specific about not wanting them out). They will be free to roam the house as they please. Food and medicines will be given as per their preferences and guidelines shared by the pawrents.
“Mia was amazing. Her communication was so consistent that I always knew what was going on with our pup and she even sent pictures. It was so nice k owing she was taken care of by a caring person!”
“Amanda is very sweet and thoughtful. She communicates well and sends great updates with lots of pictures. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond with my cats. Even my skittish one gained her trust. Will be booking again!”
“Aaliyah is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur babies are loved and well cared for. My kitties both got sick right before I went out of town, so they needed meds and frequent check-ins rather than just regular care. Aaliyah made sure they had everything they needed and more. I’m so grateful and highly recommend her!”
“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”

Noel did a fantastic job taking care of my fur babies while we were out on vacation. She was consistent with her visits and my dogs absolutely loved her. She was attentive and also was thoughtful enough to put a package we received in the fridge. I didn’t have to worry and was confident she would treat my babies with the utmost care. I will definitely be using her in the future and she is a god send since my pups tend to have separation anxiety.
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,846 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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
