“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“Alicia took great care of our boy. She sent several pictures daily and he always looked happy. She left the house clean and we would definitely book with her again.”
“Rose is amazing!! She took amazing care of my girls and house. I get a little nervous leaving my reactive dog that has special needs but she did AMAZING with her. She gave me updates all the time and left my house spotless. I highly recommend Rose.”
“Anna was absolutely wonderful with Bailey! I was away for 10 days and felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Her communication throughout the stay was excellent. She kept me consistently updated, which made a huge difference while I was traveling. I could tell she genuinely cared about Bailey's well-being. I will 100% be reaching out to Anna again for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive rover!”
“Maggie was exceptional throughout the entire process and I highly recommend her services! We had three dogs and she gave each of them the loving they needed while we were away, while providing us updates of all the fun they were having together!”
“Jordan was absolutely incredible with my dog Cali for the weekend. She is an older pup and he took such great care of her. He was attentive and timely and kept in communication with me throughout the entire weekend. I can't recommend him enough!”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog. Additionally, he gave us daily updates with pictures and kept us in the loop with everything while he house sat for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN!!”
“Shannon 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!”
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 20 years. I do have two cats but I can separate them away from pet. I am good with all types of different pets. I am home during the day and so I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I have time to walk and play with dogs and spend time with cats. I have a large yard just outside my home where the pet can play. I live in a quiet area so the animals will not be disturbed.
“So glad that Carissa was available to watch my babies for a long weekend! She was great with updates and pictures and I felt really good knowing she was there with them. She took wonderful care of my babies and my home, leaving my place so clean and nice. She’s a gem and I will absolutely use her again! Thank you Carissa! 🙏”
“Morgan 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!”
“Marianne watched our two old pups during our wedding weekend. Thanks to how wonderful Marianne is, we didn’t think twice about whether our boys were happy, comfortable, and safe — we knew they absolutely were and it gave us the peace of mind to simply enjoy our day. Marianne was super responsive, sent us a ton of pictures (after asking if that would be ok as she didn’t want to “disturb us” on wedding day, which was unnecessary but so thoughtful), we came home to a pristine house, and our boys absolutely adore her. She’s been fully embraced as part of the pack and she’ll be our go-to sitter/walker from here on out without hesitation.”
“We are thankful to be safely back to our home and dog after a short trip away so soon after being gone the better part of a week for our daughter's wedding. April did not disappoint! We returned to a happy dog and a tidy home! We were worried about delays at the airports and April was willing to come to the rescue if it was needed. Thank you, April!”
“Terri has been my dog watcher basically since my pup was born, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her even close to as much as Terri. She is loving, kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable about dogs, and very communicative! She is well known in our neighborhood as a friendly soul and the person to go to for pet care. Just book her, you won’t regret it I promise :)”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Brandon 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!”
“Mia was the best house sitter! She cared for my dogs like they were her own and even needed to take one of them to the vet and again just treated her like she was her own. I got updates with pictures twice a day and it was such peace of mind knowing they were safe and happy the whole time I was gone. She asked all the questions during the meet and greet and was so thorough in her intake and confirmed anything she had questions on. Would recommend her to literally anyone looking for a sitter, she’s the best!”
“Sara was great! Within minutes of meeting her, my dog was playing fetch and he'd completely forgotten about me. This was my 1st time using Rover to find someone to sit for my dog and I would definitely recommend it to others! When I returned home, my dog was happy...and expecting me to play fetch with him :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
Jonathan was great. Our dog loved him. And I felt very relieved and relaxed knowing Jonathan was at our house with our dog Roscoe. He was very quick to reply to questions and came over for a meet a greet, which makes you feel more comfortable with someone in your home for the 1st time. Our house and Roscoe were well cared for. He sent lots of updates and photos and asked questions when needed. He even sent pictures of the fish, which I loved and it made me laugh. I can’t wait to book Jonathan again and again. Would highly recommend but I just want to keep him for ourselves😜
We really appreciate hiw Jocelyn took excellent care of our pup while we were out of town! He seemed very happy and well loved when we got home. Plus, she left our house looking great and even went out of her way to bring in packages and the trash. We enjoyed the pictures and updates too! Will defintely use Jocelyn again!
McKenzie 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!
Kaisa was fantastic dog sitting in our home! She was amazing with our girl’s quirks and exercise needs, was very communicative and treated the house great. Went above and beyond and took her on a hike, we will definitely be using Kaisa again for future sitting needs!
Liz was an amazing sitter. She was the best communicator and loved on our pups. She let us know if anything came up and made sure to send photos of dogs. She treated with such care that when we came back, we could tell it was like we never left. She even left some sweet mini photos of our pups for us and sewed up a couple toys that our dogs love to tear up. She went above and beyond! We would absolutely love to have her sit for our dogs again!
Harley was absolutely wonderful! Took such great care of babies and kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to two healthy & happy kitties and a tidy home. I would happily book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind, reliable pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Berkley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Berkley on Rover is $49.95 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 8,922 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 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 Berkley 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 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 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Berkley. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
