About: 52 years old, cyclist, yogi, gardener. I’m genuinely committed to the belief that all souls deserve to experience loving arms, care and acceptance during their lifetime. Part time knitting and crochet instructor. Home most days and every weekend. Currently working at my own leisure and looking to do more service for the dependent ones. Please allow time for cellphone notifications to arrive. Technology is great but it can fail us. I live in a single family home with a fenced in yard and a full front porch. I love to garden. My favorite time of day is sunset and my favorite day is Monday. I can go to your home or your babies can come here.
About: With 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, I understand that every animal deserves personalized care. As a pet owner myself, I have experience with everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to bottle-fed kittens and insulin-dependent pets. I provide flexible, attentive care, along with regular updates and clear communication, so you can have the same peace of mind I would want when my own pets are in someone else’s care. Pet sitting fits into my weekly routine, giving me the opportunity to check in, take walks, or provide longer care tailored to each adorable pet. I care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with attention, patience, and respect for their routines. I follow each pet’s specific needs, from daily walks and diets to unique quirks and preferences shared by the owner.
“Ally has been great with Goose, very attentive and prompt communication to any needs or concerns and accommodating with meet and greet. Appreciate the drop ins and midday exercise he has really enjoyed it!”
About: Hi, I’m Rebecca and I would love to watch your dog. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for little dogs! We had a small dog for over 18 years. I understand how your dog is truly another member of your family and would care for him like a member of my own. Being a RETIRED teacher, my availability is ideal - I’m almost always home...especially for summer vacations! We are up early and I am home most of the day. On the weekends you’ll also usually find me spending time with my family and sometimes at the ballpark . But your pet will have company often. My home is located in Huntington Woods which is a wonderful city to walk your dog around. I look forward to meeting your pup and offering excellent care while you are away for work or play. I am up early for quick walks and potty breaks. My husband leaves much later or sometimes works from home, so another morning potty break is a definite. I’m usually home because I’m now retired! We are a home body family by nature, so we give plenty of attention to our guest dogs. We had a very small dog ourselves (Harley passed 3/13/23), so our yard is very carefully fenced to make sure there are no escape routes😂 Our children are older as well, so toys and snacks are not all over the floor anymore. We keep a tidy, yet pet friendly home and pets are always welcome on our couches or chairs!
“Hannah was punctual, left a really descriptive card with lots of pics and did a great job with my cat! She made sure he was well taken care of while I was away, would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Andrea! 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from tiny kittens to senior pups who need a little extra TLC. I grew up with pets as part of the family, so I know they deserve love, patience, and attention just like we do. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule to spend plenty of time with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or making sure medication is given on time, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away — and I treat every animal like my own. You can count on me for reliable communication, daily updates, and lots of cute photos while you’re gone.
About: I have had two personal dogs for most of my life and currently have one dog of my own that is 4. I learned how to care of animals at a young age and have been around dogs all my life. I have dog and puppy sat many times in homes and in my own home. I absolutely adore all dogs! Dog walking is therapeutic and fun for me! I love to be outside, be active, and go for walks and I can’t wait for your dog to join me! I can guarantee the best and most personal care for your dog! I am so excited to treat your animal with kindness and your home with care and make your little friend’s day better and keep them active and loved! I work a typical 8-5 Monday through Friday but have flexibility in my schedule to fit in dog walking. If your dog can join mine on a walk, I usually am already out with mine after work and on the weekends. I have a large fenced in back yard and a dog of my own that absolutely loves to have a friend over to play with. She is friendly with all dogs and we puppy sit and dog sit in our home often. Your dog will be taken for walks as much or as little as requested, supervised and loved on.
“Jay was very easy to schedule with. He genuinely listened to my insane list of things for my cat, spent time playing with him, and made sure any accidents were cleaned up. As someone who has a cat with medical issues, I truly felt like my worries were attended to. I'm sure Blanket had a good time too!”
“Kimberly was wonderful! It was my first time using the app and she calmed my nerves about leaving my pup and took wonderful care of Olive. I got video and picture updates. I would recommend 100%.”
“Julia is always so great, and gives me such peace of mind knowing my kitties are in good hands. She sends comprehensive and detailed visit summaries and lots of photos, and even brings in packages if they arrive while I’m gone. We are so grateful for her!”
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. I'm reliable, attentive, and I genuinely treat every dog like my own. I've spent a lot of time around dogs with different personalities, from high-energy ones that need a lot of movement to more sensitive or anxious dogs that need a calmer approach. I pay attention to body language and try to make sure they feel comfortable and safe, especially in new situations. I'm pretty active and love being outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I'm also consistent and detail-oriented, so l'll follow your routine and instructions closely. I'll always send updates with photos so you know how things are going. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or just someone calm and reliable, l've got it covered. I work part-time so I am flexible with my availability. I control my own schedule and usually can accommodate last minute pet needs. I can also do regular, repeat schedules. I focus on keeping dogs calm, safe, and comfortable by paying close attention to their behavior and energy. I follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you have. I’m confident handling strong or high-energy dogs and make sure walks are controlled and structured. I’m also respectful of your home and will always keep things clean and secure. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.
About: I've always had three dogs in my household growing up at all times, at various sizes and ages. From Maltese to Saint Bernard, I've had them all. As I started my independence in adulthood, I also got a Newfoundland as my first pet by myself. I have experience with both senior and young dogs, with the ability to follow directions when it comes to medications and specializations.
“Sara was extremely easy to work with and took exception care of our dogs. She was very attentive especially with our older pup that needs a little extra care. I will absolutely be booking visits with her in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals mostly my whole life. I grew up on a farm and raised sheep in 4-h when I was young. My family always had dogs and cats. I currently have a 5 year old English Shepard pup named Frankie. Her favorite thing in the world are walks! I’m currently a stay at home dad looking to get back out into the pet world as my two little guys are in school. My schedule is open during the weekdays from morning until late afternoons. I have a fully fenced in yard with a pup that loves playing with other furry friends. I’m able to do drop in visits and walks for clients furry friends as well!
“Great communication about how my cats were doing to when she was coming and if something arose to change visit time. Would definitely book her again without hesitation! My cats are skittish and they came out for her!”
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a sweet 22-pound Cavapoo, so I know firsthand how much our furry family members mean to us! I love spoiling my pup with lots of love, cuddles, belly rubs, and attention, and I’ll treat your dog with that same love and care. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Your fur baby will never feel overlooked and will receive the personalized care, companionship, and belly rubs they deserve. 🐾❤️ I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs, personality, and routine. My priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pup feels secure while you’re away.

My goal is to make the transition as stress-free as possible, giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring, attentive, and trustworthy hands. They deserve to feel just as loved and comfortable as they do when you're at home! 🐾❤️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
Jessica has been doing drop-ins with our pup while we are at work for a month now. She is warm, kind, and great with our dog, and she also is extremely responsive and a great communicator with us through the app. We were very nervous about the transition to leaving Pepper home alone all day (we had previously worked from home), but Jessica's kindness and consistency with coming to see her at lunch has helped make the transition a smooth one!
She’s just outstanding! I have dogs with various medical needs and she makes sure that medications are given in time, helps with ambulation, makes sure both dogs have done their business and gives lots of attention and affection while I’m away. And is also seeing to the needs of my three cats, too! She’s got a lot to take care of every time she comes over to my house and I know everything will be taken care of. I highly recommend her! 😀
Camile did a great job with my three boys (dogs) while I was away on a work trip. She was very communicative and I could tell by her pictures that she was actually interacting and playing with them. I told her she could leave my reactive, shy boy locked up but she removed the gate and gave him a chance to come out on his own. On the second day he did!
Kelly has been absolutely wonderful with my pups! She is incredibly thorough, attentive, and genuinely cares about them. I have a lot of specific routines and details that are important to me, and she takes the time to follow every one of them. She is reliable and gives me complete peace of mind knowing my girls are in good hands. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond for their pets!
Jodi did an exceptional job petsitting for us while we were away for 5 days. She took on a somewhat challenging schedule with three very different pets with different needs. She was timely, reliable, caring, engaging and communicated well throughout the process.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Berkley is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $56 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,655 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Berkley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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.
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.
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
- 96% 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.
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.
