“Jade was amazing with my dog and cat. Communication was awesome and Jade even helped my dad deal with my broken water heater. Definitely went above and beyond and highly recommend!”
“Michelle was great with Lola and sent so many pictures to give us peace of mind! We will definitely book with her again. She stayed in our home and it was left exactly as we left in- she even brought in our packages. Cannot thank her enough!”
“Katherine was great with our 2 dogs and our cat. She even got our rambunctious pups to walk on leash together, something we still struggle with. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Emily house-sit our dog Amber for 4 days. I cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to work with her again. First of all, she was able to stop by earlier in the day than I initially set the sitting for, and let Amber out midday and come back later to start the actual sitting. I hugely appreciated this since I made a mistake in the reservation start time. She was great with photo and text updates. From all the photos I could tell how happy Amber was. Her food and medication schedule was kept the same and she had lots of fun with Emily. And I have to say that the house was left immaculate. She went the extra mile to unload the dishwasher that I accidentally left in full, and took out all the trash. None of which were her responsibility but she truly went above and beyond and we appreciated all of it. We cannot wait to have her take care of Amber agan.”
“Michelle did great for us. It was our first time with her and she took good care of our greyhound and the house. I would recommend her for house sitting to anyone in need of that service.”
About: I used to help care for a friend/family member’s fur kids, and honestly, I miss it more than I expected. When I moved out, they haven’t needed me as much, but a little sad for me! I miss the walks, the feeding routines, and all those quiet little bonding moments. I may be new to Rover, but I see it as the perfect excuse to get back to something I really enjoy. Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt with patience, care, and a lot of affection. My top priority is making every pet feel safe and comfortable, like they’re with someone they already trust. And yes, I fully believe in extra belly rubs and a little goofy energy when needed. I’m pretty flexible right now, so I’d really appreciate some advance notice to help me plan my schedule. I’d also love to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and at ease. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks or park runs, bringing some goofy energy, or just relaxing together. Of course, plenty of belly rubs whenever they’re wanted. I adapt to whatever they need. I’m also happy to follow any instructions you have to keep things consistent for your fur kid.
About: For five years during grad school, I took care of friends pets (including cats, small dogs, and big dogs) for days and up to weeks while they were away. I have a full time job Monday-Friday, but I love animals! I can’t have a pet of my own at the moment, but I would love to take care of yours on the weekends or weekday evenings. My priority is to make your pet feel safe. I find keeping them in their home environment or maintaining their usual routine is often helpful. I am open to in house visits as well as bringing them into my home.
“Chris took very good care of our dog, Millie! He was very communicative at the end of every day letting us know how our dogs day was, along with pictures. I also appreciated while staying at our house it looked the same way when we left it. (No mess). We will definitely use Chris again for future dog/house sitting!”
“Sam is by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever hired. She was extremely dedicated to looking after my older cat. Sam is a real cat whisperer - even though my cat is pretty nervous and skittish around people, she absolutely adores Sam and showed her belly in most picture that Sam sent! Sam sent updates multiple times per day, sent some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of my cat, and was so dedicated to my cat’s care. I’ve been worried about my cat’s eating because of her gastroenteritis, and Sam told me every day whether my cat had eaten or not. Sam even put treats in with my cat’s wet food to coax my cat to eat her new, vet-prescribed food. Sam is such a wonderful, caring and extremely capable pet sitter - I’ve never felt so calm being away from my cat! I’m so grateful that Sam is our regular, most trusted pet sitter.”
About: My name is Katelyn, and I’m a Pre-Vet student who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I have professional experience as both a dog walker and a house sitter, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and special care needs. In addition, I work closely with a rescue organization where I’ve fostered many dogs and cats of all ages, gaining hands-on experience with young animals, socialization, and daily care. I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and a minor in Equine Studies, and I plan to continue pursuing my path toward veterinary school. Through both my education and hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong foundation in animal behavior, handling, welfare, and medical care. Over the summers, I work as a veterinary technician, where I gain practical experience with animal health, safety, and clinical care. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of species, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I would truly love the opportunity to help care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently working part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule! I am available for house sitting or dog walking any day of the week. I always care for pets according to their normal routine and the owner’s preferences since consistency helps animals feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise or playtime, and receive lots of attention and positive interaction. I’m careful to follow any specific instructions for medications, diets, training cues, or household rules. I also make sure litter boxes, yards, and feeding areas stay clean. I like to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they know how their pet is doing. For shy or nervous pets, I am patient and let them warm up at their own pace. For energetic pets, I’m happy to provide extra play and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
“We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Shannon! My husband and I have 4 dogs and were fearful this would deter someone from wanting to take on that number. Shannon did not hestitate to answer the call and put us immediately at ease. Shannon came over on her own time to do a meet and greet and she was / is wonderful! She welcomed each dog with open arms and the dogs were overcome with joy that someone new loved them as much as they loved her. I highly recommend Shannon with no reservations. She is kind, inquisitive, patient and communicative. She sent frequent photos and updates which we were most thankful for. We would ask her to watch our dogs again, no questions asked. Thank you Shannon!!”
“Eneida stayed at our house overnight with our pitbull and she was lovely. She wasn’t intimidated by our girl’s high level of excitement. Her communication was great, she sent lots of photos and we returned to a clean house and a happy, healthy dog. We will be asking her back!!”
“Renee was great! She came over ahead for a meet and greet, took great care of our boy and was very communicative, and even ran the dishwasher when she left. Would highly reccomend!”
“Jessica took excellent care of our dog. Charlie loves her and wants us to go away again so he can hang with her!! Our house was left spotless and she communicated with us daily and sent cute pics. It made us feel comfortable being away.”
“Joanna and her daughter were wonderful with our pups while we were gone!! Joanna was very responsive and attentive to our requests. We were grateful they showed our dogs lots of love and will definitely be reaching out to them again! Thank you, Joanna!”
“I've used Hannah to stay with my dog Cal several times now and she's so wonderful! She's great about keeping me updated and sends lots of pictures. Never worry about my pup when Hannah is staying with him. :)”
“Kim was great with my pups. she went above and beyond. during her stay she encountered a snow storm which she still drove through to care for the pups and also cleaned an area of snow for the pups in the back yard.. She kept me up to date on daily happening. I would recommend Kim 100% she is great.”
“Whitnee was wonderful with our pugs during an overnight stay in our home while we were traveling. Highly recommended, and would absolutely hire again to take care of our girls.”
About: Hi everyone. I am new to Rover as a sitter but I’ve taken care of different types of dog breeds for 5 years! Dogs are considered to be humans best friends and I treat them like they’re mine! I provide comfort and care and help each dog with anything they may need, ranging from love, to energy and any special need care the owner may have! I alter my care depending on each need to each individual dog! I am comfortable around all dogs. While also having a job as an engineer, I try to make time for my animals even if that means leaving work and coming home to make sure they have everything they need! I also have days off that need to be filled with more joy and more animals! With a lot of free time, I can make sure your fur baby is never alone and bored! I’m also new on rover as a sitter and I’m super excited to start meeting new pets! I have 2 mini golden doodle puppy one named Tobi and one named Rylee. They are as playful and energetic as they can be. I provide them with attention and energy anytime they need/ want and they control my whole world! This would be no different than taking care of your pets too! Every pet deserves love so I will provide that level of comfortability! I adapt to your pets as if they are my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berlin
Michelle did a great job sitting for our VERY high energy Husky. He couldn't be in his crate all night, and Michelle was on top of handling that. Our dog got regular walks, and the house was in the same condition that we left it in. Also, Michelle communicated with me very well with updates while we were on vacation. I would certainly recommend her to take care of your dog!
Alex is a rare gem! Thoughtful, conscientious and caring for your pets and your home. She takes the time to understand your pet and follows their routine but also takes care of your house! Really appreciate her care when we are away! She takes care of everything and communicates regularly during our time away.
Kim was great with my pups. she went above and beyond. during her stay she encountered a snow storm which she still drove through to care for the pups and also cleaned an area of snow for the pups in the back yard.. She kept me up to date on daily happening. I would recommend Kim 100% she is great.
Grace came through last minute when we really needed someone to watch our pup at home because he came down with kennel cough and couldn’t be boarded. She took great care of him and the house and was a real trooper, even sticking it out when a storm knocked the power out. Regular updates, pictures, and good communication. Super grateful for her help!

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 Berlin 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 Berlin 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 Berlin 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
