“Lara did an exceptional job of caring for our kitty, Finn. Making sure someone was with him when schedule changes came up, and working with us when we had a travel emergency as well. She is kind, caring, responsive and responsible. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was amazing and we will definitely ask her to watch our pooch again! Ranger was very happy and sleepy when we got home and the house was spotless! She also gave us daily updates and pics, which we loved. Thank you so much Jennifer for taking such good care of Ranger!”
“Taylor is awesome! I was going on vacation for a week and my other dog-sitter had to cancel. Taylor agreed to watch Shay for the week and was a wonderful house sitter! Taylor even stuck around for a few extra hours when it became unsure if our flight home was going to be canceled. Shaymus had a great time with her, and it seems like they played quite a bit because he was wiped out the whole next day after we came home! Would highly recommend her!!”
“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!!”
“Marianne was awesome. She was able to dog-sit for us at our hotel on short notice (one day), she arrived promptly, took great care of our two Dalmatians and updated us regularly while we were at our event. I would highly recommend Marianne - our dogs loved her too.”
“Scott was awesome. He regularly communicated with me leading up his time with our animals and during his time with our animals. He provided daily updates and pictures and even took the pups on a walk (which is not easy to do with our pups)! We will absolutely be reaching out to Scott again!!”
“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!”
“Felix was very communicative and respectful of our space when he stayed over! He was timely with our meetup prior to the booking and sent us updates and pics regularly. Our pups loved him and we’d definitely like to have him again.”
About: I love animals. Cats, Dogs, guinea pigs, and fish. You name it, I think they're cool. I am diligent, trustworthy, and interested in keeping your pet happy. I've had pets of all sorts my entire life. I can understand from an owner's standpoint how relaxing it is to know your pets are in good hands. There's a level of calm that comes from this that I want to provide for your family. I am an independent contractor working from home and running a budding business in small-business financial care. Right now, my schedule is open as I build my business and am between contracts. I can be available on short notice (2-3 weeks' notice for each care contract). My household includes 2 dogs and 2 cats, whom I watch weekly while their pet parents are at work or in class. We go on daily walks and play often.
“Emily was so thoughtful and communicative in her approach and service with my two year old cat. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat and my place. Would highly recommend!!”
“puppy sitter than Mandy! She took exceptional care of our corgi, Sophie, while we were away for 15 days, going above and beyond to ensure Sophie was happy, healthy, and well-loved. Mandy sent us thoughtful updates and adorable pictures twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she made a genuine effort to bond with Sophie, and we could tell Sophie adored her in return! What truly set Mandy apart was her dedication to Sophie’s well-being. She ensured that Sophie received her crucial twice-daily eye drops without fail—something that is so important for maintaining her eye pressure. Knowing that Sophie was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. Not only was Sophie well cared for, but our home was also in perfect condition when we returned. Mandy’s reliability, attentiveness, and kindness make her an absolute gem, and we will absolutely be looking to book with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and detail-oriented sitter, we can’t recommend Mandy enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
Jennifer is fantastic! I went on vacation knowing my two pups were her top priority, with lots of walks, yard time, and cuddles to fill their days. She is attentive, administered meds and navigated other special needs, and communicated well. Book her the next time you’re heading out of town!
Erica did great watching our Great Pyrenees, Sully! She sent pictures and updates daily and was very communicative. When we came home the house was clean, Sully had fresh food and water, and she went above and beyond by washing the sheets and taking out the trash. Sully and his parents appreciate you!
This is the second time Angie stayed at my house with my special needs pup Joplin. I love the frequent updates - both pics and vids, the attention to detail with her meds, and the cuddles that seemed to always be happening. Joplin was very happy when I returned and is excited to see Angie again soon!
Brooke did an incredible job with our 3 dogs while out of town. Brooke stayed at our home and left it beautifully clean! Our dogs were happy and well cared for during our time. Brooke went above and beyond with pictures, notes and most of all care. She gave her utmost to our dogs and to keeping our home well kept. We are most appreciative and will call Brooke again. Thank you so much Brooke!
Rachel was wonderful! She took incredible care of my pup, including taking her on lots of fun walks and giving her all the love :) she was also very respectful of my home and sent tons of cute update pictures. Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future!
Taylor was wonderful with our two chihuahuas. They love her so much! She’s super communicative, shares amazing photos of them getting lots of belly rubs and their ears are super relaxed and they give her lots of puppy kisses! We definitely will be using Taylor anytime she’s available. Highly recommend her for your pups!

FAQs for House Sitting - Berkley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Berkley on Rover is $51.76 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,981 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.

- 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.
