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.
“Fallin is a great catsitter! She kept me updated at all times and I received lots of pictures of my Maya. I didn't feel worried at all because I got pictures throughout the day 🙂 When Fallin was at our house, she cuddled with Maya a lot and was vigilant about keeping Maya's cone on (Maya is on medication right now). When we came home, Maya looked happy and energetic. We recommend hiring Fallin as a catsitter!”
“We had to find a new sitter on a last minute notice and we are so happy we found Lydia because she was amazing! She took amazing care of our boys, followed instructions, and was in constant communication with us. Could not recommend her more and we will be using her in the future :)”
“Theo is a great judge of character and he warmed right up to Mackenzie. She was awesome. Responsive, caring, responsible….all the things you want in a sitter. Mackenzie is trustworthy and someone you should have no problem with caring for your pet and your home!! I will have her back for sure!!!”
“Alyse did a great job with my dog Bo. She sent updates once or twice a day which was reassuring. She was easy to work with and took good care of my house while i was away. She came out to meet me and Bo a couple weeks before the booking to make sure everything would be taken care of and there would be no issues while I was away. Highly recommend.”
“Michaela did a great job with our boys. We got pictures everyday from her. When my wife and I came home, the house was cleaned as if no one was there. She did a great job with our two boys. We will definitely be using Michaela again!!!”
“Emily was a great help taking care of our fur babies during the July 4th holiday. The dogs loved her and she left the guest room and bathroom nice and clean. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jessica was great. We had to book with a day notice and had a wonderful experience! She did an amazing job taking care of all three of our cats. She followed instructions perfectly, kept us updated, and gave each cat the attention they needed. It was such a relief knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend! Will book again with her 🫶🏽”
“This was the day we were supposed to leave and Dominique made arrangements to come meet the pets. They were available to housesit and take great care of our pets. Will definitely be using them again!”
About: I have 4 dogs of my own, ranging from 2 - 10. I have been dog sitting them since the day we got them 10 years ago, but have started dog sitting alone 5 years ago. They are all 50+ pounds and a bit crazy at times but that has never changed how cute and loving they are. I would love to sit your dog(s) and will do it with a joyful spirit! I’m currently working from home, and traveling for an event company to put on events. I have limited availability but when I am in town, I’m free for any services you may need! I can’t care for pets in my own home due to our rental contract, however I will care for pets in your home as well as you normally would! I find that pets feel more comfortable being taken care of in their own home and it (hopefully) creates less stress for the owners! I will treat your home with love, care, and respect, the same way that you would!
“Thank you Jada for taking care of Dusty! Our 2yr old Dusty is so timid so we were concerned for our trip, but Jada would send these photos that showed how excited he was. He’d zoomie on grass, lean on her, cuddle her, and he seemed so happy to have her over for his playmate :) thank you so much Jada for your attentive and wonderful care.”
“Khalima helped me with the booking process, and was so sweet to my 2 cats while I was away! You can tell she really cares for animals, and made me feel very comfortable with her pet sitting for me. As she recognizes cats like routine, she stuck to the feeding instructions every time, as well as regular updates and play time, which i’m sure my cats really appreciated :)”
“Jake was one of the best sitters we have ever had, seriously! From beginning to end he put our minds at ease…communication, professionalism, kind nature etc…our dogs absolutely love him! Thanks so much Jake, you’re the best my friend 🐶👍 (First review on any platform) - Heike, Adam (parents) Coltrane, Floyd and Franklin (pups)”
“Brittany helped us out on short notice. Everything went smoothly all week with the dogs, house, communication, etc! She kept a close eye on our semi-sick/recovering pup, also.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 20 years and have had fur babies of my own since I was a kid. I stay home full time, which means your pup will always have company and care.

Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch, or just hanging out side by side, they’ll always have a buddy by their side. 🐾💛 I have a fully fenced yard and 2 sweet, laid-back Frenchie named Onion and his grandma Brownie. Onion is 5 years old,Brownie 8 both house-trained, crate-trained, and friendly with both people and other animals.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Berkeley Lake is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $69 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Berkeley Lake. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
