I’m thankful I was able to find her and got a response immediately and came home fed her and took her for a 4 walks! Stayed 5 hrs while we were away. Thank you so much for your service!”
“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.”
“Fallin did a fantastic job watching our two dogs. They were very well taken care of were super happy to see us when we got home. She also took excellent care of our house as well. We would definitely rebook Fallin the future to watch the pups! She was a terrific sitter.”

“Maddison was absolutely wonderful! I don’t trust just anyone with my pets, they are family and truly like a child to me. So finding someone I feel completely comfortable leaving them with is incredibly important. Maddison went above and beyond. She took wonderful care of both my dog and my cat, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. She was attentive, dependable, caring, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It’s not easy for me to leave my pets with someone else, but I never had to worry with Maddison. I’m so grateful for the care and love she gave them, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. I will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I have over 52 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up on a farm and have spent my entire life around pets, including dogs of all sizes, senior animals, anxious pets, injured animals, and pets with medical or special-care needs. I am comfortable caring for giant breeds, administering medications and injections, following special routines, and providing extra attention when a pet needs it. I have cared for pets with conditions such as epilepsy and have experience helping very nervous animals feel safe and comfortable. For example, I once helped care for extremely anxious senior Chihuahuas who were afraid of people, and with patience and consistency, they gradually learned to trust and feel comfortable around us. I am home 24/7, so pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I am very flexible and happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medication, extra cuddles, unusual habits, or any special instructions their family has. I truly love animals and treat every pet as an individual. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely at home while they are with me. Chances are, by the end of their stay, your pet will think they found a new best friend! I am home 24/7, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, supervision, and care they need throughout the day. Dogs are taken outside for bathroom breaks every 2–3 hours, or more often if needed based on their usual routine. We also have access to a dog park, so dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time can have opportunities to play and burn off energy when appropriate. I am happy to adjust to each pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, medication, playtime, naps, and any special routines. Because I am home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy lots of companionship, attention, and care while their family is away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I am home 24/7, so pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day.

“Lindsey did such an amazing job with my pups! She was very attentive, kept me updated throughout the day, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely be using her again :)”
“I am always nervous to leave Rhea but Christina was great! She sent daily updates and asked questions when Rhea needed some extra allergy meds. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Lydia did a really fantastic job with our elderly dog as well as the house sitting. She was super responsive in all of her communication. I will definitely be booking Lydia again in the future.”
“We had Mackenzie watch Jasmine and Rudy for a day, as a trial for a longer stay later on. We are super happy with both Mackenzie's care for the doggos and also her responsiveness and communication with us. She followed our instructions thoroughly, kept us updated, and responded promptly when we reached out. Thank Mackenzie!”
“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!!!”
“Jordan was great! She communicated well. She was responsible and best of all my Bear loves her! He’s picky with people so the fact that he loves her speaks volumes! I would hire her again without hesitation.”
“We went out of town just after Christmas and needed a dog sitter. We were very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy pup, we had great communication the whole time and received a set of pictures and updates every evening. We will be using Maria Abigail‘s dog sitting service again!”
“Sidney was great. Very clear with any scheduling questions and made sure she knew what was needed for our pet. We are overly scripted and she made sure she had everything aligned to our needs. Always appreciated the updates and photos!”
About: I’ve cared for small dogs and puppies for the past few years, and I truly love it. I have experience with a variety of little breeds and enjoy giving each dog the attention, comfort, and routine they’re used to. My home is set up specifically for small dogs under 30 lbs, with a cozy dog room, comfy beds, crates, toys, and a calm environment. I treat every pup like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work remotely, so I’m home and able to give the dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and has everything they need before I step out. Your pup will always have a calm, consistent routine here. I’ve created a safe, calm environment specifically for small dogs under 30 lbs. My dog room is clean, organized, and equipped with crates, beds, toys, and fresh water. I also have a fully fenced backyard where pups can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and get fresh air. When weather allows, I love taking dogs to the nearby park for walks and enrichment. I supervise closely, follow each dog’s routine, and make sure they feel secure and comfortable at all times. Your pup will always be treated with patience, attention, and love.
“We will officially be planning our travel around Hunter’s availability. She was absolutely amazing. We have three large dogs (pitty, border collie, and shepherd) and Hunter was fantastic with them for the week we were gone. She’s the only person I will trust in my home and with my pups when we need to leave from here on out.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkeley Lake
This was the first time that Fallin stayed with our boys. She was great and it seems that our guys really warmed up to her. She kept us informed every day along with lots of pictures. She was very conscientious on following their schedule and made sure that both dogs were happy. We will definitely be calling her again!
Madison was awesome! She accepted our last-minute, two-day house sitting request without hesitation and took wonderful care of Holly. She followed all instructions perfectly, sent great photo updates, and was super quick to reply to messages. Holly absolutely loved her! We’d love to book with Madison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter 🥹
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.
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,828 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.
