âMcKenzie was so great with my dogs. Spent a lot of time with them during the weekend which I know they appreciated in my absence. She communicated with me throughout her stay with my beagles and I really appreciated the updates. My home was just as I left it when I returned. I will absolutely be using her again with my pups!â
âJanelle is hands down the best sitter Iâve had! She completely erases any unease I have about leaving my dog when I have to travel. She communicates frequently and truly knows how to care for my best friend the same way I would. I will (and have) rebook with her again and again!â
âAbbie was great! She watched my cat for a couple of days and took great care of her! She gave lots of updates/sent lots of pictures and was very communicative, would definitely recommend!â
âShannon watched our dogs for the first time last weekend on short notice and she was wonderful! Incredibly responsive, sent pictures of our doggies, and took them on walks and frequently let them out. Will definitely rely on her again soon!â
âHaley did a great job watching my 4 month old puppy for a few days when I had to be in the office. He was happy and well cared for and she left my house exactly as she found it. Iâd recommended her for any of your pet care needs!â
âBrandon was so amazing with our sweet pup. He was communicative, transparent, and took the best care of Kipper. Highly recommend, and will definitely be using again!â
âMaddy was so great with our dogs! We loved the frequent updates and pictures. Felt very comfortable while we were away and would love for her to watch our dogs again!â
âMaribel is a phenomenal sitter! We used Maribel for a week+ trip and she watched our dog and cat in our home. She was quick to reply and sent daily updates to us, she took care of the house and left it in great shape. Our animals looked loved and happy throughout our absence, and when we got home both animals seemed very well cared for. We plan to use Maribel again in the future to watch our girls! Absolute five star care!â
âAimee was 11/10 sitter for our two doggies, one whoâs a senior and requires extra care and daily meds. She communicated well with photos and updates on the doggies. The home was left in great condition. So happy to have found her and hope to utilize her services again. Highly recommend!â
âKristen was amazing! I was so anxious to leave my furbabies but she totally put me at ease and did a great job of sending updates and photos while we were gone! She even took care of my jungle of plants as well! So glad to have found someone I can trust with all my babies đâ
âCindy is amazing sitter. She kept us well informed and took excellent care of our dogs walking them at least twice a day and exercising them out in the yard as well. Communicates well and in a timely manner. She was an overnight sitter for us and took care of our house as well. We will definitely be using her in the future.â
âMorgan is a great dogsitter! I received lots of updates and pics while I was away. Beaux needed extra help because he had recently gotten surgery - he had to wear a cone and get meds and Morgan didn't skip a beat to take on these extra responsibilities. Will definitely book Morgan again!â
âSara was an easygoing and attentive sitter. She provided updates with photos and took good care of our house. Our animals were so relaxed and happy upon our return! Would definitely recommend and request her again.â

âJaime took such incredible care of my blind senior dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was extra patient and attentive to all his needs. All instructions were also followed. I will definitely be using Jaime again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter.â
âKonner did an excellent job of taking care of Nessie and my home. He came to meet Nessie ahead of time and learn about her care. He kept me informed all weekend and my home was neat and tidy when I returned. I highly recommend Konner.â
âSam is the best! Our dogs loved spending time with him and he was a superb dog sitter. Sam was polite, on time and gave us great updates about our pups while we were on a trip out of town and was a respectful houseguest, too!â
About: I grew up caring for dogs and cats, as well as pet-sitting for many of my neighbors, so I have plenty of experience looking after animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! I absolutely love meeting new dogs, playing with them, going on walks, and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, a good run, plenty of playtime, or simply relaxing and getting lots of pets, Iâm happy to tailor my care to their needs and preferences. If youâd like me to run with your dog, Iâm happy to do that, too! Your petâs safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Iâll respect any household rules you have, whether that means keeping your pup off the furniture, staying out of certain rooms, or following specific instructions. I also keep track of important daily tasks on my phone, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and water refills, so nothing gets overlooked. Above all, I genuinely love spending time with animals, and Iâll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. You can count on me to make sure your furry friend gets plenty of exercise, affection, and attentive care while youâre away! Iâm currently a full-time remote worker, so am very flexible on timelines and when your pup/cat needs care. Iâm experienced with and love all breeds, sizes, and temperaments of pets. Every pet/pet owner has different needs, triggers, rules, reinforcers, favorites, etc.; Iâm very flexible to however you need my help in caring for your pet.

Jonathan took wonderful care of our 2 year old pup Apollo! He was very present and attentive which we appreciate given Apollo can be anxious especially when we go out of town. He stayed in our home and took great care of it and left it just how he found it. We will definitely be having Jonathan back to watch Apollo again!
Ines is wonderful. She was diligent and thoughtful at our meet and greet, taking time to ask the right questions about Bowie and his needs. While I was away she was communicative, sent lots of pictures and took great care of my apartment and pup. Thanks so much Ines
Maxene was wonderful! She took care of our 8th month old pup while we were away for the weekend. She was on-time and seemed very kind and capable. She sent us plenty of cute pictures and updates and gave us a good recap when we got back. She even took Moose out on a walk right before we got home in effort to tire him out. We recommend her and would love to have her back to watch Moose another time !
Lilly is the perfect house sitter. She was professional, communicative, and took great care of our senior bulldog. Lilly also tended to house tasks like taking in the mail, packages, taking out the garbage etc. It was such a relief to know that our pup and home were in such good hands and we'll definitely be asking her for future stays.
Taylor did so great with our sweet pup Meera! Meera can be a bit nervous and she warmed up to Taylor immediately. They had such a great time together. Taylor was very kind to our home and we can back to a perfectly cleaned up apt! Would highly recommend Taylor for any future watches!
Weâve known Katy for nearly 4(!) years now and she is truly the only sitter that we are okay being with our (not so easy) dogs. We just came home from a weekend trip, and the dogs said hello to us and then put on their saddest faces when Katy left. Now theyâre completely passed out. We always come home to tired, happy pups and the house exactly as (or better than) we left it!!!
Remi was a wonderful dog sitter and person! She was in contact with us regularly throughout the 5 days that she stayed in our house, and took such great care of Lexi. She really knows dogs and is so responsible for both our dog and our house. Remi really went the extra mile to make sure everything went well and took real initiative, caring down to every detail. Looking forward to having her come back!

FAQs for House Sitting - Berkley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Berkley is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $93 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 petâs 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.
As of November 2026, there are 8,858 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Berkley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Berkley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Berkley 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Berkley 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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 Berkley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
