“We don’t have enough nice things to say about Amy. Our pup LOVES her and might even be a bit disappointed when we return home. Thank you for sharing your time with Telly!”
“Alicia is excellent! Watched our dogs over a weekend for us and took them on multiple walks, played with them in our backyard, brushed them, and sent plenty of update of pictures so we could see how much fun they were having with her. We would love to have her watch our pups again the next time we are out of town!”
“Sara was absolutely fantastic! We just moved into a new house the same week Sara pet sat for us and our dog was extra shy but she handled it so well and our dog warmed up to her big time! I feel so lucky that we found Sara to watch our dog and would definitely use her again in the future!! She kept us updated with lots of photos. Thanks for everything Sara!!”
“We had an excellent experience with Dominic watching our 5 fur babies for a 10 day trip. I cannot express how grateful we were to have him. Communication was top notch, he sent pics and updates regularly. We came home to a clean house and happy pups! Highly recommend! We will be hiring him again for our future trips!!”
“Nice is amazing. Our sweet Jax seemed so comfortable with her, which put us at ease given his age and the fact that we were so far away from home. She sent a bunch of pictures and updates; we never worried once, which was so comforting. Nice treated our home and our dog as if they were hers. Next time we plan a vacation, we’re definitely contacting Nice!”
“Anna did a great job handling our two neurodivergent older Chihuahuas! She kept us informed and left our home in an immaculate condition. We have already booked her for a second engagement in August.”
“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! 🙏”
“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!”
“Marianne was great! She is so attentive to their needs. They loved all the play time and walks she was able to give them. She kept the area safe and secure for them. I would rebook with her any time.”
“Lauren was amazing! The dogs loved her and she kept me in the loop with updates and pictures throughout the day. Will absolutely ask Lauren to sit for the dogs again.”
“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!”
“Alex was absolutely wonderful watching my pups for a week while we were out of the country. She was very attentive to their many medical needs, respectful of my house, and great with communication, updates, & photos of my boys. Thank you Alex!!”
“This is the second time Jennifer has watched my senior dog for me and I never have to worry knowing she is watching him for me. I get regular message updates along with pictures of how my dog is doing. Highly recommend booking with Jennifer!!”
“Kristen is amazing with our 3 Siberian Huskies, especially our super senior dog that is 15.5 years old. She takes of the dogs, the house and always keeps us updated. We love having her watch our dogs.”
“Valeria took excellent care of our two dogs! She was very communicative and our dogs seemed to have a great time with her. She also left our home in great condition, which we really appreciate. We would certainly recommend her and would be happy to have her pet sit for us again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
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!
Branham took great care of our dog and our house for over a week while we were traveling. It was the second time he took care of elf our dog, and she is in great hands. Lots of updates as well. There’s a lot of peace of mind when you’re traveling when you know your dog is having fun and in good hands.
Isabelle was so wonderful! Helped us in a pickle with a last minute booking and our first time having a rover stay at our house. She immediately made us feel comfortable, the dogs loved her, she sent regular updates, and left the house in perfect condition. Would definitely book with her again!
Jacqueline really helped me out after my other Rover sitter canceled on me last-minute. She took great care of my 1 year old mini bernedoodle and followed my instructions for feeding. She was also great with sending updates and lots of pictures. I would love to have Jacqueline take care of my little Lucy again!
This was our first time using Rover and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Edrisa was absolutely wonderful. Our Westie has some separation anxiety so we’re trying to get him comfortable with new people. She had him warmed up to her within a day. Edrisa’s updates and photos throughout the day let me enjoy vacation knowing he was in such great hands. We came home to a clean house exactly as we left it. My husband and I will definitely be spreading the word. We can’t thank her enough and hope she’ll sit for him again!
Victor was a super great dog and house sitter. Tonio was happy, the house was clean and the sheets were in the laundry when we got home. He was particularly good with Tonio who can be a little aggressive and bossy. Victor was firm but kind and Tonio fell in line. Victor even fixed something that needed repair in the house while we were gone which was so generous! Above and beyond.
We are always happy when we can secure Angie's services for our trips. She is our favorite sitter! (Our dogs seem to really love her too. They get very excited when she arrives.) As always, Angie had excellent communication, updates and promptness; and most importantly, we always come home to a clean house and happy well-cared for babies. Thank you again Angie!!

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.

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.
