“Amy was wonderful! Rue was well taken care of and loved spending time with Amy. Amy was great at checking in and sending photos of Rue. She also took wonderful care of our home. Would absolutely ask Amy to watch Rue in the future.”
“Anna was great housesitting Ozzy and Coco! She was timely for meet and greets, sent advance communication, and made sure she thoroughly understood our instructions. Ozzy had stomach issues while she was here, and she took everything in stride! She also got some adorable photos of them!”
“Michael was so great to our dogs. We have an elderly senior 16 year old, who needs a lot of care and Michael was there for all of it. Medication, multiple potty breaks, hand feeding Charlie. Buster got to know him,and became a best friend. The dogs really enjoyed having him. Thank you so much .”
“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!”
“Margaret was great! She stayed with our two girls for a weekend- one being medically complex and needing medications at specific times. She gave us frequent updates and we knew our girls were in great hands!”

“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!”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our cat and two dogs! She sent us photos and updates throughout our trip and ensured that everyone was well taken care of. Also, she was super pleasant to communicate with! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Rachel is great! She walks my dog a few times a week and my dog is always excited to see her and sad to see her leave 😊 Rachel sent many pictures throughout her stay and my dog seemed really happy the whole time. She took great care of my place and I would have her back anytime!”
“Cindy 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.”
“Ashlyn took superb care of our greyhounds and our home. We returned to a clean house and relaxed dogs, not to mention our own significantly reduced stress! She remained unfazed and handily cleaned up after accidents from our excited pee-er. Thank you so much!”
“Aimee took fantastic care of our fur baby while we were out of town. She sent amazing photos and we could tell when we got back that our pup was loved and cared for very well. Great sitter!”
“We had a great experience with Genelle housesitting our dog. She was punctual and provided daily updates with pictures while we were away. Even during a thunderstorm, she helped our anxious girl stay relaxed and cared for. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Bailey was amazing with my pup Nora! I could immediately tell that Bailey is an animal lover and I knew that Nora would be in good hands while I was out of town for a wedding. She kept us updated with photos and videos and was a great communicator throughout our trip! She even helped us out with a couple of last minute drop-ins when our flight was cancelled last minute and we couldn't make it home until the next morning. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for peace of mind when it comes to their dog sitter and I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Ines was a wonderful dog sitter! She gave our dog Milo lots of love and physical activity. She went above and beyond sending us pictures and videos of Milo throughout the stay. Our dog Milo can be anxious when we have to leave him without someone us, but Ines made us feel very confident that Milo was happy and well taken care of while we were away.”
“Kathryn, did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. We hit a few bumps along the road but she was flexible and helped make everything work! She was also very respectful of our home and left it better than she found it. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an in home sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
McKenzie was great! She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated about my Dog. My dog was also a big fan, and he is often indifferent with sitters. He spent his time downstairs enjoying life with Mckenzie, rather than sulking upstairs. Highly recommend! Thanks so much!!!
Anna took wonderful care of our older dog while we were away. She administered his medications and provided detailed updates with plenty of photos! The house was clean and tidy when we arrived home as well. Will definitely have Anna sit for Newton again in the future.
Miranda is absolutely wonderful. I am so so grateful for her expertise and thoughtfulness. She took such good care of Wyatt, doing topical treatments and giving multiple medications for an infection and concurrent lupus flair-up. She was also so kind and flexible in accommodating my schedule, even changing the linens and making the bed for me, knowing I would be getting in late after driving all day. I could not recommend her more.
Amazing dogsitter! We had a last minute need for a sitter and Scott responded immediately. Lulu is very shy and hesitant and Scott took the time to make her comfortable. He was so patient with her and cared so much about connecting with her and making sure she was happy. We will definitely ask him to sit for Lulu again when we leave town!
Becca was great handling our two boys! Both initial meetings may have scared someone who isn’t comfortable with overly excitable dogs away, but Becca was calm and confident with them. On top of having a deaf puppy and jealous older brother, one was also diagnosed with a severe ear infection the day before we left and given an intense medication routine — we came home to a clean home, a cleared ear infection, and two happy pups! Thank you SO much Becca!
Jordan is the best!! I am somewhat (very) anxious about leaving my dogs and the second I met Jordan I was able to relax some. He communicates well, took very good care of my dogs and apartment, and just a generally trusting and kind human. Beyond thankful for him!
Isabel was incredible! We left our two Aussies with her (one being a very high energy pup) for over two weeks while we were traveling out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for a more kind, caring, and responsible dog sitter. She sent pictures of them daily, which was such a treat, and she left the house in great shape. She provided important updates and was so flexible with our needs. I can’t recommend her enough!
Raven was amazing!! We used her while we were going out of the country, and unfortunately, the day before we left, our dog was attacked by another dog and had to undergo surgery. We were so stressed about leaving her after everything that happened, but Raven immediately made us feel so much better and reassured us that our pets were in great hands. She sent us lots of updates throughout our trip, gave our dog her medications, and even kept an eye on her stitches for us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Raven was there taking such great care of her while we were away. We would 100% use Raven again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets!!
Neva is always so amazing with our girls! We have been using her for quite some time now, and she is consistently flexible, responsive, and great at sending photos! Our dogs are starting to get older and she has totally been able to adapt to their needs and provide the best care. We always feel so great when she was watching them.
Joanna was such a huge help to me and my partner. She accommodated a fairly last minute request and helped ease my mind during a weekend away. I appreciated the photo and video updates, great communication, and her commitment to maintaining my pup’s routine. I would absolutely book Joanna again!
Aimee was 11/10 sitter for our two doggies, one who’s 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!
Weve used Hannah multiple times for our cats & house sitting! Its always so easy, shes super on top of everything and so easy to work with. Hannah sends so many photos and updates unprompted! Honestly she's such an easy hire and great person to trust with your animals. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Berkley is $56 per night as of October 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 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
