“We had an amazing experience with Dakota. She responded to us immediately and took excellent care of our newly adopted dog while we were away for the day. We received updates and photo during the day which gave us peace of mind. We would not hesitate to book with Dakota again and highly recommend her as a trustworthy, caring and reliable sitter.”
“It was Kaylee’s second time watching our pets and she did a great job as always. She even takes extra care with our one male cat who can be a little fussy. He doesn’t always love to eat and she makes sure he was getting enough food. All of our pets instantly remembered her and were ready to play when she arrived for this visit. Lots picture updates let us know they’re having their own adventure while we are on ours.”
“Lindsay did a great job watching my dogs in my house while we were traveling. She checked in dauly with updates of the dogs. Took my more active dog to her house while she worked for more enriched supervision and also kept my older dog happy and on routine. I look forward to working with her again when we travel.”
“Sarah was fantastic! I was very at ease that I had to be away for 9 days and know that my Griz was well cared for with her staying in my home. 10/10 recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”
“Erin was amazing! She did a great job with my cat and he really loved her, and she left my apartment totally spotless. Would definitely recommend her and plan on having her watch my cat again :)”
“We are so very blessed and fortunate to find Jennifer. The thought of leaving my pup was heavy hearted - until we met Jennifer. Thank you for the many pictures and all of the updates. You allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing Maverick was being taken care of.”
“5 stars!!! Peyton babysat and house sitted for our Irish Wolfhound puppy, our 2 old mini schnauzers and our cat. We will absolutely use her again. If you want someone to house sit and take excellent care of your babies, this is your lady. Thank you so much Peyton!!! -Owen and Jaimie-”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15 years old. Whether it’s a quick check in, potty break, walk, cuddle buddy, etc. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I do work full time, as well as a full time college student. Here is how my work week schedule looks: Mondays: 9:30am-6pm Tuesdays: 8am-4:30pm (off every other Tuesday) Wednesdays & Thursdays: 9am-5:30pm Fridays: 9:30-6pm (off every other Friday) Weekends: 8am-4:30pm (off every other weekend) As long as it works with my schedule, I’m available! I have 3 dogs and 7 cats. I treat my pets like family. I make sure they’re on a consistent feeding and walking schedule, and I always keep their environment clean, safe, and enriching. I pay close attention to their behavior and health so I can catch any changes early. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just being present, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for every single day.
“Ann is absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative during her stay with Zoe, sent pictures and updates daily, and made us feel very assured that Zoe was in good hands. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and left our home”
“Jeff was great. Very responsive, and he sent regular updates on my dog and cat. They were well taken care of, and my house was clean and tidy when I got home. Thank you, Jeff!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my difficult puppy for over a week! She kept me updated, sent me pictures, and made me feel comfortable. I cannot recommend her enough for your pet care needs. Thank you so much Sarah!! Alfie and I appreciate you!!!”
“Terry was absolutely incredible and took the best care of our 2 kitties when we went out of town! Daily pictures and videos, so many updates and great communication! I would give her even more stars if I could. We have never felt safer leaving our babies in another's hands, and we could not recommend her enough. She truly goes above and beyond. :)”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy senior cat who just wants a cozy lap, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including those with special medical or behavioral needs. From daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication administration, I provide dependable, compassionate care that gives pet parents peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m here to make tails wag and whiskers twitch—while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages along the way! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with you pet. I am available after 2pm throughout the week and my weekends are open. My space is designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. With space to roam, nap, and play, your furry friend will feel right at home from the moment they arrive. I offer a clean, secure, and peaceful environment—free from hazards and full of love. Whether it’s a quiet corner for a cat to curl up or a fenced yard for dogs to stretch their legs, I’ve created a space that caters to all personalities and energy levels. Pets enjoy supervised playtime, cozy sleeping areas, and a calm atmosphere that helps ease separation anxiety. I maintain a consistent routine, provide fresh water and clean bedding daily, and ensure every guest receives personalized attention. Plus, I’m always happy to send photo updates so you can see just how relaxed and happy your pet is during their stay.
“Kendall was amazing. Very caring and loving to our pups. She takes the time and cares for them as if they are one of her own. Very professional and kept us informed while we were on our trip! Very happy with having her watch our pups!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of and loving on the pets of my community since I was 17 years old. I’ve kept cats, dogs, and fish, with various health statuses. Every pet is different, so I make sure to learn their personalities and respect whether they are clingy or standoffish. I can’t wait to hear about your fur babies! I work primarily for myself, so my schedule is customizable and remote. There may be days of the week where I am required to be somewhere for a specific amount of time, but that will be communicated beforehand! Outside of that, I have open availability! Unfortunately, I am not currently able to bring pets into my home. However, I always make sure to respect the clients boundaries. If given the opportunity to take care of your pet, I follow instructions of how the owners prefer for me to watch their pets (which includes food schedule, outside/bathroom time, where animals are allowed in the house, and treats).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Berkley is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $69 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Berkley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
