“Micheal was so accommodating to my doggie's needs. He even came for two meet and greets since one of my dog is quite timid and needs a lot of familiarity before trusting someone. It is obvious he loves animals and i felt more than comfortable letting him care for mine!”

About: I have helped raise dogs of various sizes in my family, as well as helping my mother in law care for her alpacas and long haired cats. I have assisted my boyfriend with transporting family animals via single engine plane. My sister is a veterinarian who has been a guide for me. I am an occupational therapist a local nursing with experience with geriatrics and pediatrics. I work per diem at a local nursing home 3-4 days a week. My hours varying from 5-8.5 hours a day of working (7a-noon or 7am-3:30p), but I do have an hour long lunch break to let animals out/feed them in the middle of the day. I am familiar with providing medications, crating animals and facilitating a safe environment with your animals to cater a very personalized experience depending on your pet’s needs.

“Melissa provided pictures, videos, and summaries of her visit every day. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat, and even though we missed her, we never worried about her. She also offered to take care of plants, sweeping the litter, etc, to make our life easier upon our return. Melissa clearly loves animals and I would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi I'm Irina😊 Animals are my pride and joy. I've grown up around them all my life. From rescuing & raising baby squirrels, to helping train with my friends dogs. I have extensive experience petsitting, and years of professional and volunteer experience working with animals as well. Including local volunteer work at Homeward Bound. I’ve personally rescaled over 6 cats in the past 10 years, as well as fostering a cat currently. I have gained experience working with barn animals including horses, goats, and chickens. My heart holds tons of love for puppies and kittens, as well as elderly dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication , and some grooming knowledge although I am not trained professionally. I am extremely versatile and will provide you with the best care for your furry loved ones. I'm also big on leaving spaces as clean as when I came in, so you can rest assured that your home and pets will be loved and safe while you're away.✨🐾 I am currently a freelance model so I have an open schedule, I myself have 3 cats and am fostering a 4th. So my house is full but I can travel for jobs freely. I have a pretty open backyard but no fence in the front, only a tree blocking the road. I am on a main road in between two restaurants. I can pet sit smalll dogs varying in situation on my property.

Lauren watched our high needs senior cat multiple times before he passed away. He always enjoyed her visits and we felt confident to take time away when needed. We were so happy with her level of care and detail, that we chose her to do drop in visits for our newest cat. We were worried that furry friend’s regular anxiety would make it difficult for anyone to step in while we were away. But there was no need to worry. Lauren had such a calm and kind demeanor, that our anxious lady cat spent many of those visits purring. Any trip we’ve taken, it is always a highlight to get Lauren’s detailed report cards. The photos always show how relaxed our pets are in her care. We are so thankful to have found someone we truly value and trust.

Debra is an excellent pet sitter. She is very reliable and amazingly earned the trust of my extremely shy cat with her patience and time. I feel totally confident my cat is in good hands with Debra.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Berkshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Berkshire is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 498 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Berkshire. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Berkshire. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
