“I have never felt so comfortable leaving my fur babies behind. Dakota made sure that they were well cared for and comfortable. She kept me updated and worked hard to make the transition as easy as possible. Highly recommend!”

I will maintain daily routines with feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and play time. I will uphold safety protocols and will respect your household’s boundaries.
About: I love working with animals, I even work at an animal hospital and I am with pets all day long! I love pet sitting and watching out for your pet! Anything you need I am willing to do it all! I have a lot of practice in the field and even own my own pets. I have a cat and 2 dogs. I have pet sat for other animals in the past and love what I do. My experience is 8+ years, I'm even going to school for it as well. Please contact me in advance, at least a week so I can have proper time to help in any way I can.

I am available to do Bel Air and Essex and even surrounds areas; including White Marsh, Parkville, Kingsville, etc. I am available to do walks, check in, and even over nights.

“Alex was absolutely wonderful with all 6 of my dogs! She was super responsive, sent me lots of pics, and kept me in the loop. I will definitely be booking her again for any future dog sitting needs!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kathleen! She came all the way from Maryland to Philadelphia to care for my dog, Rocco, over the past two weeks during Thanksgiving, and she was absolutely incredible. Every day, she sent me pictures of a happy and content Rocco, and it was clear he was in the best hands. I left Kathleen with multiple pages of instructions, and she followed everything to the letter. Not only did she take phenomenal care of Rocco, but she also left my home spotless. I’m almost hesitant to write this review because Kathleen is such a gem that I don’t want anyone else to book her up before I can. She’s truly amazing, and I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”

“Destiny was excellent with my to boys. She was attentive, played games. Was in contact with me when one of mine would not eat so we could fix this. She sent lots of pics and texts per my request as I was very nervous about leaving them. But after our meet and greet, everything was wonderful. They love her. We will definitely be using Destiny again.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember — I’ve had everything from hermit crabs and frogs to cats and dogs since I was a kid! Friends, family, and even my coaches have always trusted me to take them on a walk and petsit. I also worked on a farm where I helped bathe dogs and care for all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable giving medicine, trimming nails, and making bath time fun and easy. I treat every pet like my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, your pets will be in caring, reliable hands. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have morning classes but long breaks from 10:30–12:30 that are perfect for walks or potty breaks. Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m done with class by early afternoon, giving me lots of time for drop-ins, playtime, or longer walks. Weekends are completely open, so I’m very flexible for house sitting or extended visits. No matter what my day looks like, I always make time for animals — spending time with pets is honestly one of my favorite ways to take a break from studying! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime routines — so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep their space clean and cozy. I’m comfortable giving medication if needed and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

I am more than happy to provide check-ins whenever your pet needs. I have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I’ll always be respectful of your rules and instructions. I will provide the best care possible for your pet while respecting your home. I always make sure to clean up after myself and leave the space better than I found it.
“Jeff was amazing!! Our dogs were so happy having him there for them (as were we)! He made sure they had plenty of love and attention, communicated regularly with us to let us know how they were doing and sent us pictures and videos of our boys. We highly recommend Jeff and will be requesting his services again when we have to leave!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Berkley is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $69 per night.

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 , 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.
