About: I have been in the dog industry for about 5 years now. But I have been working with animals for 7 years. I am a certified pet groomer through Animal Behavioral College, and I have a strong love for animals. I have experience in dog behavior and body languages. I can handle from small to larger breeds. Special place in my heart for senior dogs as I own one my self! I am experienced with distributing medications such as pills, inhalers and even insulin shots. I am well equipped mentally and physically for the care of your pets. I currently am working as a boarding assistant in a vet hospital. I have a 9 year old chihuahua mix and a 6 year old american shorthair cat. I care for them everyday as I walk my dog, feed him regularly bathe and more! My cat is a chunk and very food motivated and loves people. I even bring my pup to work with me on occasion. I have 3 different sized kennels in the home with 3 different beds and 2 are orthopedic! . I also own my own grooming set up.
“Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!”
About: I’ve had 8 fur babies from my childhood til now so you know the couch is always covered in fur. I’ve loved my mastiffs and labs, tabby cats, horses, and many small animals. I’m familiar with various dog and cat breeds and the amount of loving you should give them, even if it’s temporary. I’d love to care for your pet! A face full of fur is an excusable reason to replace therapy.. right?? I’m currently attending a couple online college classes for the summer, so my weekly availability is mornings & afternoons. No Thursdays. For weekend availability, please reach out a few days before. I hold a calm and happy manner with zero room for bitterness. I treat every animal as my own, with the occasional spoil of an extra treat (just for sitting happy and being cute). Respect goes for the owners as well! Im sure to send you pictures of my time with them.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs since I could crawl on all fours! I’ve raised multiple kitty litters. I’m totally comfortable with dogs and cats, large and small, old and young. I let out my personal dogs multiple times a day. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Work on some tricks with a reward! And I’m constantly surrounded and comfortable with my family and friends animals. There’s never been a time where I haven’t had a cat and a dog. Throughout the day I take out my 2 dogs in to my fenced in back yard. I have a senior pup so I’m experienced with giving medications too.
“Marissa was amazing with my two dogs during our first week working together! They welcomed her and felt comfortable with her right away. She goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are taken care of!”
“Cassie did such an amazing job dropping in on my pups while I was away for a week+ and I can’t thank her enough! She was super communicative and sent updates and pics and I felt really comfortable with the whole situation, and my pups seemed to love her which was really important to me. I would absolutely book her again!”
About: I have done in home visits and dog walking for pets of all types. 3 years of experience. Tons of availability. True animal lover at heart. Many references available. I am currently not working and I'm looking for a few regular gigs to keep me busy. I love to walk and hike. I love people and animals in general. I currently am a homemaker with a fenced in yard, three cats at home, and a dog nephew who gets dropped off for at my discretion for either a long day of daycare or a sleepover.
“Kathryn is FANTASTIC! She took such good care of my cats while I was away, I think they missed her when I came back. I am grateful for how well she communicated with me and the time she spent with them and loved all the pictures she sent me. I would not hesitate to request her help again.”
“Brittanie is very professional and respectful. My boys love seeing her. They feel comfortable around her. I have no problems when I get home. They are relaxed. Will definitely be booking again”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I've also owned 3 of my own dogs- Alaskan Malamute, Bully breed, and chihuahua mix, so have experience with different sizes and temperaments. I have also worked in the veterinarian field so have experience with giving medication and recovery from spays/neuters, etc. I currently run a small business as well as have an evening client, so I'm open to morning- midday schedule and may have last minute availability depending on time and location. I am also available for evenings after 7:30, if you happen to work overnights! (Currently UNAVAILABLE FROM 3PM-7PM M-F, CAN SCHEDULE FOR AFTER 7:30PM IF NEEDED) I would be following client's preferred methods of care, whether it's going for a walk, just utilizing the backyard for bathroom and playtime, crating, etc. Whatever the client prefers, I'm happy to accommodate.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I absolutely adore them. My family recently had 5 dogs so I have experience caring for pets of various ages and breeds. I have a dog of my own, a 5-year old mini goldendoodle. I would be happy to take your pets out for you, feed them, play with them, and of course provide cuddles :) If you would like photo updates of your pet I would be more than happy to send those. If you think I’d be a good match don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to helping you out with your pets! I currently have a Monday-Friday job but I can provide pet care after work (4:30-10) or on the weekends (anytime). With my work being in education, I have additional school break availability! In a client’s home I would follow all of their care instructions and keep a consistent routine. I care deeply about the safety of animals and would treat them like my own.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and truly love having them around. I do tend to spoil them, but I always follow the instructions you, the parent, provide. I have had senior dogs and puppies and always give them the extra care they need. We are a retired couple and always enjoy having a dog around us. We have plenty of time to play with pups, and give them lots of love. We have a fenced in backyard to play in, comfortable beds to sleep in. We won’t be taken in other family's dogs while yours is here.
About: I’ve been around pets since childhood - having 2 cats, hamsters, birds and fish. I am a dog mom to a 15 year old beagle and 12 year old pittie mix both of who I adopted when they were 3 years and the other 9 months old. I walked and was also a house visitor for neighbors dogs all throughout middle school. Wherever I was there was a high possibility I was hanging out with someone’s dog. I work a Monday to Friday position but would love to spend my off hours from the office position doing house check ins and or walks for your pets. I would be able to do house check ins for bathroom breaks-feeding-loving attention-playtime as well as bringing them on walks. I am able to handle big or small & high or low energy pets.
About: In my 30 years, I have always had at least one pet in my care. Growing up, I took care of dogs, goats, chickens, rabbits, degus and more. I have personal experience with "exotic" animals such as hamsters, rats, chinchillas, etc. I have a combined 7 years of experience with animal care in a professional setting, including work at a pet store, as an Animal Care technician for laboratory animals and as a receptionist and kennel/boarding assistant in a veterinary hospital. I am a true animal lover and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy to care for your furry family. I am available several days a week for drop in visits for new and current clients. Drop ins include let outs, feedings, play time, medications, etc as needed. I am available for live in care to current clients only. There are days that I will not be able to be full time at your home.
About: My family and I have had our dog Misha for 10 years now. She’s a German shepherd Husky mix and along the years we’ve had to go through some things that have definitely added to my knowledge and experience with dogs. In addition to that I’ve been working at a doggy daycare for the past 3 years. There I come across many different breeds and sizes of dogs, all of which I am comfortable being around. We offer grooming and boarding services there so I’m very familiar with giving baths if needed and feeding and or giving any medications. I also was recently able to become certified in pet first Aid and CPR. Lastly I have had a previous dog walking job when I was a bit younger and I have done dog sitting for friends and family before. I’m currently working Part time. My normal schedule is typically Wednesday-Friday and then I work every other Saturday. So Sunday-Monday I’m normally pretty free and flexible. I live in a house that offers lots of room and plenty of yard space. Our yard is not fenced in but I have a long lead that could allow your dog to have the freedom to play and run around without running away. I also have a large crate if your dog needs to be crated. They can absolutely sleep in the bed with me too if they’d like. I also have a German shepherd Husky and if my dog and yours needed to be separated that’s not a problem at all. If I’m coming to your house I will make sure that I am following any rules you may have in place and follow any directions you’ve told me regarding your pup. Depending on if you have a yard or not I’ll let them have lots of play time and give them plenty of love and affection. Or I could take them on a nice walk to get some exercise. Either way if your baby comes to me or I come to them, I can promise they’ll be properly cared for!
About: I took care of my mother's dogs up until I moved out. I've taken them to appointments, bathed them, provided nourishing home made meals, trained them to learn new tricks, and trained them on obedience. I strongly believe animals bring joy to a home and so they deserve to be treated with the same love that they bring to us. Since then I've been caring for dogs of all sizes & energy levels. I currently stay at home as a full-time mother so my time is mostly open and very flexible. I'm available any day of the week so I'll be here for whenever you need me. First I gain the pets trust first before roaming any further, usually clients leave me a list and I will complete the list without bringing any worry to you or your fur baby. Im there for you and your pet only.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
Julia is amazing! I needed someone to watch my babies last minute on a holiday weekend. When everyone was booked up. But Julia then I found Julia. She came over to meet them before we left. So she could see what the routine was. She came over on time everyday, sent pictures, and make sure they were well taken care off. If you need someone reliable to watch your pups, hire her!! All the stars and thank you again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Berkley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Berkley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
