“Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.”
“Kateri (Rebekah) was amazing to work with! She was on time, did regular check-ins and left our home as she found it. I would definitely use her again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody looking for a reliable excellent pet sitter!”
“Gracie was absolutely amazing with our two pups! We were given updates and pictures all throughout the day and never had to worry about a thing when we were out of town. We have used this service a lot and haven’t had anyone that can hold a candle to how great Gracie was! Will definitely be calling her again in the future!”
“Kenna did a great job with our energetic puppy! She was communicative, kept the house super clean, and was overall a joy to work with. My dog loved playing with her pup! This was our first time leaving our puppy so it was such a relief not having to worry! I love that she stayed overnight- it made things much easier. She walked the dog everyday and I could tell my dog was so happy (and tired) when we got home!”
“Jillian clearly cares deeply for our dogs as we do, always calling them babies, communication was great as well with lots of updates and her own version of a report card. We had one small misunderstanding of an instruction but she was very responsive and respectful and adjusted quickly. Our ivdd dog can be a handful and she was certainly up to the task!”
“Taylor was wonderful with our two dogs! Caring for one who is a deaf counter-surfer and another a recent rescue still learning the ropes is no easy task and Taylor handled it excellently. When a chewing issue arose, she contacted me right away and secured the items out of reach. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were safe in our home with such a responsible carer. To top it off, we were welcomed back to a clean home and freshly washed bedsheets! Truly five-star service. Will definitely book again.”
“Mark is a great Dog Sitter and Dog Walker! Gabriel is a big Rottweiler and it can be difficult for him to warm up to new people. Mark is a professional and was able to get Gabriel to warm up to him right away! Thanks Mark!”
“Robert was very great to watch my dogs. He took them out for walks very often and took great care of them. Would hire him again for sure and recommend him to anyone who asks me about a pet sitter:)”
“Lindsay was an excellent dog sitter for our two pups. She was very responsive when asked any questions and kept us updated over the course of her stay. I would highly recommend booking her services.”
“Genevieve was absolutely fantastic! I am always worried about leaving Pepper because she doesn’t like new people initially but she seemed to warm up to Genevieve very well. Genevieve was patient, friendly, and accommodating to any needs I had. She sent the cutest pictures and “pupdates” often to keep me in the loop. Since it was Christmas, she also opened gifts with Pepper on that day and sent fun videos. She took great care of our house as well. Cleaned up after herself and went over and beyond doing laundry as well. I would definitely recommend Genevieve to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter for their fur babies. We will be using her again soon! Thanks for everything!”
“Lizzi was great! She was very responsive and our dog was very happ. We received daily pictures which was a nice plus. I will happily and confidently book her again the next time the need arises.”
“Nicole is truly a master of her craft! Another smooth, fun, and safe trip for our 6 pets and we always come home to a clean and organized home. We are so grateful for Nicole!”
“When Brianna took care of my precious senior blind Pit Bull for a few days, I was able to relax and enjoy my time. She is worth every penny. She even left my house cleaner than what I had left it.”
“Nathalie is truly amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and we were so lucky to find her right away. She cared for our 3-year-old dog and 11-year-old cat as if they were her own. Throughout the stay, she sent us daily photo updates along with detailed notes, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a spotless house, and she even washed and remade our bed so we had fresh sheets waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that went above and beyond. On top of that, her sweet dog Vern was the perfect playmate for ours, which was such a wonderful bonus. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and I’ve already shared her info with my family. Highly, highly recommend Nathalie!”
About: Growing up with pets as family members has always been a necessary adventure. I began fostering puppies to house-train and socialize them before adoption. Yes, I ended up adopting multiple dogs I fostered because I fell in love with them! On top of my one or two dogs, for many years I would have two, three, and sometimes four foster puppies at a time. The dedication to loving all these pets has brought a true passion for animal care. I’m currently raising an English Cream Golden Retriever, Bowie, and I’ve adapted my schedule to accommodate his unique needs and preferences. I’ve prioritized physical activity and ample playtime at home, while also understanding his preferred resting spots. After walks, he loves to rest on the bed, and in the mornings, he enjoys looking out the front window from the couch. I find it rewarding to have my schedule revolve around keeping my pets involved, engaged, social, and happy. I have a fenced-in yard. A backyard with grass to run around, a back deck to lie on for sunbathing. A lovely garden that gets watered with the help of my own dog that loves jumping at the water while I water plants. He’s a very good helper. He has been socialized his whole life at dog parks and on walks with other dogs and humans. He is a playful dog that loves playing only if the other dog wants to as well. Many dogs have asserted themselves to my dog at a dog park or on a walk; he is very well trained not to engage in aggressive behavior but to submit and sit down, ears back to build trust with other dogs. I have outdoor cameras that are utilized for basic safety as well as making sure the gate is closed, dogs are visible, and any hazards (large branches or other animals) can be removed for best safety when dogs are outside. Maintaining a clean yard for my pets is important. Frequently cleaning the yard for dog waste, proper weed and grass maintenance. Making sure no foreign objects, rocks, or anything dangerous could pose an interest for the pets to investigate. Proper outdoor lighting for low light and nighttime outdoor potty times ensures further safety at night.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve been a dog/cat/house sitter before on and off especially during covid. I love long walks, play time and cuddles. Making your pet happy would make me happy too. I miss living at home with family pet. Currently I work part time as hairstylist working on building there clientele. I would be availbe for morning and late walks during my working days . On my days off I will have way more availability even mid day availablity for walks. House sitting nights can vary a little depending on my schedule but am pretty flexible. My house is not available for sitting. When staying at your place I will let dog/cat out into back yard leashed if no fence. Even if there is a fence I will be there watching the dog/cat. When comming in and leaving the house I will lock all doors for mine and pets safety. I will follow any other instructions of home owner .

The median cost per night for house sitting in Berkley is $50

Gracie did an excellent job caring for my two rowdy pups while we were away for our wedding! She was very attentive to our instructions and treated the pups with affection and care. She asked all the right questions to make sure they had what they needed, and sent lots of photos and updates. Would absolutely hire Gracie again!
Solea and Dom took amazing care of our two dogs! Our husky can be a handful because of his temperament but they handled him like champs! We had no worries that our dogs were in good hands. They also cleaned the house at the end of their stay and threw the bedding into the wash. We will be using them again in the future!
Annamaria was great! My Dog was happy as can be and I know he received a lot of attention as she provided photos of him walking, eating, playing, etc., etc. I would absolutely book Annamaria again and I am sure we will in the future! Thank you for making my dog’s experience better than expected! We were happy to know he was in good hands.
We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter! Mark stayed in our home while we were away, and he took incredible care of our dog, Willie Nelson. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Willie was comfortable in his own home with someone so kind, responsible, and attentive. Mark went above and beyond while we were gone. He kept us updated, treated our home with care and respect, and most importantly, gave Willie so much love and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and our house was just as we left it. Mark is also an incredibly talented local artist, and he’s simply a wonderful human being. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home, I can’t recommend him enough. We’ll absolutely be booking him again!
Hannah was so wonderful with our dog, Ernie! She left our house exactly as she found it and was so communicative. We felt so much more relaxed knowing he was in good hands. She was so sweet and responsible with his needs and medications. She was responsive and flexible even when we had a power line fall while we were away. We will definitely rebook!
We went to asia for two weeks and Gary did an amazing job taking care of our home and dogs. We have a very active pup and he went out of his way to ensure he got his proper exercise. Gary also left our home in immaculate condition probably cleaner than we left it!! Thank you again so much and we would absolutely book you in the future!!
Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.
We had such a wonderful experience with Brianna. She took amazing care of Ronin and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. She was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he felt safe and comfortable while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for house, and we would absolutely trust her with him again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Berkley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Berkley on Rover is $67.71 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,224 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Berkley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
