“April did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! Our dog needs lots of play time, and she provided that! We could tell that both our dog and cat were well looked after, as well as our home! We would definitely hire April again!”
“Selena watched our dog for the first time this week and will watch her again next weekend. She communicated effectively before & during the dog sitting at our home. She was so sweet with our dog & gave us regular updates. She is trustworthy & respected our requests for our dog. We are so blessed we found Selena. We will definitely use her in the future too! Thanks for giving us peace of mind while we were gone.”
“Arianna was great with our two boys and was super helpful in setting up the house sitting appointment. She sent plenty of updates and pictures of our boys during the trip and kept everything under control around the house. Even our normally standoffish schnauzer warmed up to her by the end of her time! Would definitely recommend Arianna for your pet sitting or any other pet help needs.”
“Derek was fantastic. We booked a housesitting with him on very short notice (11 hours). He was great with our 3 dogs and 4 cats and kept the house clean. Thank you SO much.”
“Noah did a wonderful job watching our pups while we were away! He was especially attentive and caring with our elderly dog, including administering medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely have Noah watch them again and highly recommend him!”
About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have always had a genuine love for pets. Over the years, I’ve helped care for a variety of animals, including cats, ferrets, and dogs through pet sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family friends. I also have a 9 year old Border Collie/Lab mix of my own, who I’ve cared for and grown up with. Pet care is something I do on the side because I truly enjoy being around animals and building bonds with them. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Since caring for animals is something I genuinely love, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m open and adaptable to different pet care needs and always happy to help however I can! House sitting and overnight stays are available on a case by case basis depending on each pet’s needs, routine, and care requirements. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care while making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by being patient and understanding with their individual personalities and needs. With my own dog and other pets I’ve cared for, I’ve learned that building trust takes time, so I never force interaction. I let pets come to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Creating a calm, loving, and stress free atmosphere is always my priority.
“Kaitlyn was excellent. Took good care of Gino. It was his first time where mom had left for more than just a few then just a few hours. Took care of his meds. Spent time on the couch cuddling and sent me a few pictures. I would use Kaitlyn again for sure”
“Jamie has watched our dogs on three separate occasions for extended stays and is always incredible. This time when Jamie came to the house our dogs were so excited that Jamie arrived that they weren’t upset or anxious about us leaving. When we returned our dogs seemed well adjusted and well loved. Jamie is great about communication, takes pictures of the dogs that are super cute (I’m using one as my phone wallpaper right now) and always leaves our house in better shape than when we left it. Thanks for being the best Jamie!”
About: While our family has owned cats more often than dogs, I have been around enough pooches to know that each has its own distinct personality and as such needs its own special care. Whether stopping by for a play session or a neighborhood walk, I will devote the same level of attention and care as I would if it was my own pet. I can adjust my schedule to fit the need of a client. I am currently doing food delivery so am not on a set schedule. I have evenings and Saturdays free, and could easily find time to care for your pet in mornings if needed. I will base my care on whatever the client desires. For dogs, if it is simple potty breaks or walks, for cats feeding and playful interaction. Whatever the client specifies.
About: I grew up with a dog my age so I not only had experience with him as a puppy while I was young but taking care of him as an older dog while we grew up. As I have been an adult I have taken on the role for many family members and friends of pet sitter. I often care for multiple dogs and cats in their own home and I love it! Ive trained and cared for pets of all kinds and I hope to never stop! I'm currently an ASL interpreting student entering my sophomore year of college. I have school on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8-4, and I spend the rest of my time studying at home, and going hiking/walking with my dog! I have grown up with many different dogs, so I have lots of pet experience. I can care for puppies and elderly dogs, enthusiastic and shy dogs, and all kinds of cats! I am also technologically skilled, a good troubleshooter, and know how to take care of a house in general.
“Maggie went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and exercised every day. She took such loving end refill care of them. She took some great pictures and shared the on a regular basis.”
About: I have worked with dogs for years and i love doing it. i love meeting new dogs and helping when i can i have had a passion for animals ever since i was a kid. i am currently a student in college right now so i have a flexible schedule i can do mornings and evenings also some mid-day and overnights. I have three dogs of my own who i love and care for. I have raised two of them from puppies to now young’s dogs!
“This was the first time I used a house sitter. I was a little leery, but Anabelle was a timely communicator as we worked through some initial bumps. She was respectful of my requests and our pup seemed to enjoy spending time with her. I would use her again.”
“Maeve was attentive to Blueberry and the details of caring for her and for my home. I am very pleased to have found Maeve and recommend her highly. I will certainly be working with her again!”
About: I have been caring and owning dogs for over 5 years. I have most experience dog sitting and walking; and I am most excited to meet all your fury friends! I have roughly 2 and a half years of house sitting. Whatever it may be: cleaning, cooking, dog-walking, dog sitting, etc. I can do it! No matter how busy I might be, I will always make time for animal care. Weekends and MWF are always the best days when it comes to animal care, as Tuesdays and Thursdays are my slightly busier days. But morning to night, I can handle feedings, potty breaks, and play time. My own pets are on a schedule for feedings and playtime and walks. I guarantee that no matter the pet, whatever is needed for your fur babies, I will fulfill it. I personally love a good cuddle on the couch and a walk on some nature trails to stretch those legs, but anything from pet yoga to swimming, I'll make sure any animal is taken care of.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkshire
This is the first time I had Shirine come out and watch my two fur babies. She came over for a meet and greet prior to her watching the cats. She was very easy to talk to about all my concerns regarding my two cats and their anxiety issues. I felt at ease once I met her in person. While I was gone Shirine checked in to give me updates via texts on Cooper and CeCe and even sent pictures a few times so I could see how they were doing. When I came home the cats were fine and the house was as I left it. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Berkshire on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,484 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Berkshire. 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 Berkshire 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 Berkshire 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 Berkshire 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.
