About: Hi! I’m Kat! 🐾 I've spent much of my life around & caring for animals, I’ve assisted in volunteer work at a shelter working with animals of all type & size! I have experience with animals with: special needs, medical conditions & special diets. Pet care & well being is my priority, I want to ensure a happy and comfortable experience for you & your animal companion. I'm now exclusively working in animal care & services! My schedule for booking is updated regularly, if there is a date that is unavailable or booked out, please reach out. I may be able to open up my schedule for you! Health, safety and well being of an animal is a priority to me, in my personal life and in the experience I have caring for animals, it is not something I take a risk on and is my priority as a guardian and caretaker, I do not take any chances with possibilities of potential harm or safety of an animal. I also keep extra leashes & leads, cooling collars for warmer days, bowls, bathroom bags, and safety gear in my car + on me at all times during our bookings. I carry water with me on walks as well for our furry friend!
“Ashley has come over multiple times for our two dogs - she is amazing with communication and our dogs love her. We have two pit mixes (one is very hyper and the other is a lazy girl) and Ashley has done a wonderful job managing them both. We are happy we found someone we trust for drop in’s ☺️”
“We worked with Elizabeth for dog-walking our golden retriever, Steve, and had a great experience. She was on time and very friendly. She set the bar high as our first time using Rover - I can definitely see us booking with her again.”
“Rebecca was exactly the sitter you hope for when leaving your furbaby. Very responsive and responsible. Her care and attention for my kitty was clear through the daily updates.”
About: I have owned all types of pets since I was younger. I've owned and cared for dogs in all sizes, long and short hair. I'm great at walking with rowdy dogs and can teach a few basic tricks. I've cared for senior dogs towards the end of their lifespans and can keep up with high energy pups as well! I have flexibility to provide care early in the mornings and very late at night. Saturdays are when I can provide the most hands-on and time intensive care for your pets! I have lots of experience getting new pets to trust me. I am vigilant on watching outdoor activities, keeping gates closed, and any lead lines or leashes attached.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and energy levels. My pet care journey began while working at a professional dog daycare/boarding kennel, where I gained experience with canine behavior, feeding schedules, and administering medication. That experience gave me a solid foundation in safety, structure, and understanding dogs’ unique needs. Outside of that, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family for years. Whether it’s overnight boarding or daily walks, I’m known for being reliable, punctual, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of affection, attention, and tailored care. I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and comforting environment whether your pup is boarding or just a walk around the block. You can count on me to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure your dog gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently working part-time and have open availability for dog walking Sunday-Tuesday, anytime before 10am on Wednesdays, after 1pm on Thursdays, and after 3pm Friday & Saturday. Boarding availability can be discussed :) Whether I’m staying overnight or just spending the day, I’m committed to providing a calm, caring environment where your pup feels safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and always focus on their comfort, routine, and happiness.
“Ashley did a great job communicating the visits she had at my home I appreciated her loving care and attention to details. Plus, her humor in accepting the silly dog and chickens I letting her charge. Everything looked great when I returned home.”
“Renee is wonderful! Brady loves her. She is so easy to work with and I have complete trust and confidence in her ability and knowledge to take care of my furbaby.”
“Jenna was a great cat sitter! She checked on our cat, Benson, once a day while we were out of town and would update me on how he was doing - how much he ate, what he played with, etc. She also sent me pictures and videos, which made me feel better knowing that he was in good hands! Even though I couldn't be there to take care of Benson this weekend, I have no doubt that he enjoyed his time with Jenna. I will definitely book another drop-in visit with her in the future :)”
“Kevin took great care of my puppy, who is getting over a health issue, and my kitten at short notice on a holiday. He went above and beyond to be here longer than originally planned and sent many cute pictures. I recommend him!”
“Emily did a great job with my cat Josie the past two weekends! She gave detailed updates, was always on time, & even got Josie to warm up to her during the visits. Thank you Emily!”
“We have been using Ryan for in-home visits. Since the initial meet and greet, he got along great with my dog. Ryan took notes to remember the pet’s preferences and commands. Ryan’s Rover cards have sweet pics and a detailed summary of the visit It’s clear that Ryan loves dogs and is great with them. For example, he adjusts my dogs bedding in his crate before leaving him, which is a very nice touch. My dog loves him and I feel that my dog is in great hands with Ryan.”
About: Everyone thinks I have a sixth sense with animals, they just seem to feel automatically at ease with me! But of course, the owner is also important, so I am committed to following your instructions meticulously because I recognize that each pet has unique requirements. As a dedicated and detail-oriented individual, I closely monitor your dog's behavior to ensure they receive everything they need—whether it's pets, cuddles, playtime, potty time, or treats! I specialize in senior care and am skilled in administering multiple medications, ensuring they take them without any attempts to hide. Always being sure to keep a close eye on their immediate needs. I know patience is crucial in my approach, a quality I learned through caring for my prior senior dog. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine revolves around adapting to their specific needs. I work from home on Fridays and Mondays, allowing plenty time for extended walks and play sessions. During weekends, my schedule is highly flexible as I don't have children or a dog of my own at the moment. I have a partially fenced yard where I can supervise your dog while they're on a tether. However, I prefer taking them for walks around the neighborhood, or if you're comfortable with it, exploring trails. I am extremely attentive and vigilant during these outings.
About: I'm Mark, and I've been caring for animals since I was a kid. If you need someone trustworthy to care for your pet look no further. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I currently work in project management, where managing schedules is my forte. I'm single and spend most of my time being active. Getting your dog walks or care will not be a problem, as I am very flexible. My parent was a canine handler for the DEA, so I grew up in an environment where training, trust and safety with your dog was paramount. I live in a condo in Royal Oak. My neighborhood and surroundings are very walkable with dog parks in the area.
“We had such a great experience with Hannah. She took care of our cats for nearly two weeks and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We received regular updates and lots of photos. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Hannah again!”
About: I have owned pets my entire life. Raising 3 kids, we have always had at least 2 pets in our home at a time including dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles. With having more free time, I have the flexibility, love and patience to help others with their animals I have been at stay at home mom for over 20 years. I have 2 kids in college and an 8th grader, so I have a lot of time and flexibility helping pet owners. I am available 7 days a week. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, so I would only be able to go to your home to care for your animal.
“Sarah visited our four cats for drop-in visits while we were away for a couple of days. She did a great job making sure they had food, water, and clean litter and were staying out of trouble. We would hire her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!
Kelly is absolutely fantastic. She is super communicative when taking care of my pup, sends photos, is extremely timely, and my pup looks like she is having the best time. She took the time to do a Meet and Greet with us ahead of time and it made us feel super comfortable. We've had a great experience and would highly recommend her.
Staci was wonderful! She came to our rescue when we had to make alternate plans for our senior dog last minute before a trip. Our dog has some complicated health issues at the moment, and Staci was wonderful about following her medication regimen & going at our dog’s speed. She also accommodated a late request for additional drop-ins which we greatly appreciated. Staci was flexible, attentive & responsive. I highly recommend her!
Winnie was awesome! Super easy to communicate with and made everything really stress-free for us. Our puppy Poppy absolutely loved her and we could tell she got tons of love and attention. Winnie is super trustworthy and reliable — we felt totally comfortable leaving Poppy in her hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Lisa was great with our dog Finn! She gave us daily updates and was wonderful with him. He loved the way she walked him and was very energetic. She even helped with some of the things we forgot to do when we left on our trip. Great care and would highly recommend her!! Thanks Lisa!

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 .

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.
