“Joanne was awesome with Bravo while we were out of town. Super sweet, easy to deal with, and Bravo absolutely loved her. He was happy and comfortable when we got home, and the house was spotless.”
“Amazing! This was a long trip with family and we were so relaxed knowing Kateri was watching Teddy. She sent updates, videos, and pictures a few times a day! Shes so kind and knows how to make Teddy feel comfortable. And she follows his lead as needed which I know helps his anxious feelings when we are away!”
“We had a great experience with Dani and Nala (our dog-daughter) loved her! We had plans for Dani to spend the long weekend at our house with the dog - she came over the Wednesday before to get the know the dog and learn our routine. She was super thorough and had Nala out at parks and walking around all day. She sent tons of great pictures, which helped us to relax on vacay knowing our friend was taken care of. We definitely plan to use Dani again!”
“Heather came through for us super last minute when our original dog sitting plans fell through, and we were incredibly grateful! She gave tons of updates and we could tell our pup was very happy with her :)”
About: Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, your dog (s) will receive the same level of care I give my own pets—fresh food and water, regular meals, exercise, playtime, affection, and close attention to their individual needs. Further, I have experience with administering medicine such as eye drops, ingestible liquids/pills, and shots. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in capable hands. I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! When I was a kid, my family had two dogs along with other animals, providing me with a foundation for loving and caring for pets. Since then, family and friends have trusted me to provide pet care services including pet sitting- feeding, play, and providing overnight company. I have 24 years of experience with small and medium sized dogs. Care for dogs is my only profession, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. My home is safe, welcoming, and open, and my friendly dog loves having dog visitors to play with. Your dog will be free to roam my home- welcome on the furniture- and have plenty of space to run in my large fenced in yard. Additionally, I am located near the heart of Dowtown Royal Oak for dogs who are excited by people and other dogs, as well as several parks with open spaces within walking distance. I currently have a three dog limit for boarding and pet sitting. I’m home full time, so I’m able to provide dogs care with my full attention. Whether morning, afternoon, or night I’m available round the clock to fit you and your pets schedule and needs! I’m happy to provide care in your home or mine! My home is safe, welcoming, and pet friendly- with large areas to roam or smaller gated spaces ideal for dogs who prefer time alone, are shy, or being newly socialized. I have a large fenced in yard dogs both small and big can enjoy and many local parks within walking distance! Further, my dog Bernie is an excellent playmate for all dogs I care for.
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. I also have experience administering medications and understand the importance of following your pet’s care routine. My goal is to make every tail wag and ensure your fur baby feels right at home! 🐶💕 I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time, attention, and love to your pup! 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. I know being separated from their family can be an adjustment, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and cuddles. 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! 🐾❤️
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: Hi there! I'm Sara and I am a fierce lover of animals. I am highly inclined towards gentle caregiving of all animals and I would be a great supporter of your pet's care needs! I have life-long experience caring for dogs of various sizes, and I am skilled at handling a bigger dog on a leash. I have a lot of patience for animals with special needs and more complex feeding and/or grooming routines. I also have a deep love for cats and have a lot of experience caring for a variety of breeds. I am skilled at grooming and medicating cats as well, and I have experience in helping to raise kittens. My schedule is currently very open and flexible. I am looking for a regular position as an animal caregiver, and I am willing to be flexible in maintaining the care schedule if I acquire any additional employment opportunities in the future. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends! I am all about open communication when it comes to scheduling needs and conflicts, so please do not hesitate to reach out for a chat. When it comes to caring for pets in a client's home, I demonstrate the utmost respect in caring for the physical space in whatever ways requested by the client. I am happy to submit to any background check and can provide reliable references to attest to my commitment and trustworthiness. I have two cats and one of them is very afraid of dogs, however my house allows for a good deal of separation, so a discussion with the owner to establish boundaries for care within my own home is a priority. I have a fenced-in backyard and I am happy to bring clients' dogs over to play out in the yard, weather-permitting. Overall, I am very flexible and I look forward to discussing your needs in further detail!
“Jordyn took great care of our cats! She is super sweet and dependable. She went above and beyond during her stay with us- even during a three day power outage in the middle of summer.”
About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.
“Amy was great with our kitty Tommy. He took to her right away so felt at ease with her staying at our place. She sent me pics often and he was happy. Will definitely use her again for more upcoming trips.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! We’ve always had dogs in the family, big and small. I’ve been fostering animals (cats, dogs, bunnies) for about 2 years now as well! I’ve cared for kittens, feral kittens, grown cats, puppies that are learning basic commands and potty training, adult dogs. I’ve also taken care of animals that need extra care, ones that aren’t comfortable around humans or came from stressful situations. I’m available Saturday & Sunday! Monday through Friday I work 9am-6pm, so I’d be available before or after. My lunch is from 1-2pm, if you’re near Troy I could possibly make that work as well! I respect animals and allow them the space to feel comfortable and interact on their terms! I’m also very mindful of surroundings and am naturally a very tidy person.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
Gracie always takes great care of our pup! She’s very prompt, follows all our instructions, and leaves our house cleaner than we left it! She’s great about checking in and sending updates and photos. Our dog really seemed to enjoy his time with her, and we appreciate the peace of mind knowing our dog and house were in good hands. I’d highly recommend!
I highly recommend Kylie for pet and house sitting. She recently watched our dog and cat for the weekend and exceeded our expectations. Kylie is an excellent communicator, highly dependable, and respectful of our home, leaving it perfectly clean. We will definitely hire her again.
This was our first time using a Rover sitter, and I feel so lucky that we found Meredith! She watched our dog Duke while we were away getting married. She was so patient and was willing to work with us leading up to the house sitting stay. She took Duke on weekly walks to ensure he was comfortable with her. We really appreciate her taking the time to make sure we were all comfortable. Duke is usually very nervous meeting new people, but he seemed to instantly warm up her to calm and friendly personality. Which was such a relief to us! During the stay she provided regular updates on how Duke was doing, and brought in packages, and even cleaned up after a shelf fell in our basement. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to take care of our boy and keep our minds at ease while we enjoyed our wedding weekend. We’ll definitely book with Meredith in the future!
Veronica was wonderful! Communicative and attentive to detail - very committed to ensuring the Weens were safe and their routines sustained. I’m a nervous dog momma - but felt completely comfortable. Our house was also cared for with attention and love. Thank you so much!
Bri is the BEST! We can always trust her to take good care of our dog, Koda. She stayed with him for 8 days while we were in Europe and sent frequent updates with lots of pics. We had to come back earlier than expected and she was very flexible and accommodating.
Jodi was a very attentive sitter, she messaged me with any questions or concerns, sent pictures of my pets and kept me updated throughout! The house was just as I left it and most importantly the animals were HAPPY when I came home. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter 🙂
Genevieve took excellent care of our dog and two cats while we were away on a trip! Our dog has reactivity issues with new people coming into our home and Genevieve was very patient and understanding in giving the time needed for him to be comfortable with her. She really understands dog behavior and that put us at ease. Genevieve was also very comminicative, including providing daily updates with lots of photos and videos of all the pets. We really appreciate that our pets were in such good hands!
Lonie stayed at our home for the past 5 nights taking care of our dogs. We got daily updates on our dogs, she was organized and attentive and I felt very relaxed during our trip knowing our dogs were in good hands. We came home to a clean house and dogs that were fluffy and soft from all the brushing and care they got. We will absolutely use Lonie again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.

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.

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 .

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.
