“April did a great job. I came home to a clean house, she took great care of my dogs, kept me updated, sent lots of pics, and catered to their specific needs as older and large breed dogs. Thanks April!”
“Emily was great! She sent us pictures and updates more than daily! If she had a question about anything, she did not hesitate to ask. We will definitely book her for our next vacation! Oh and the girls give her raving reviews as well🐕❤️”
“Sydnee was a fantastic sitter for my pup when I went on a much needed vacation. I always choose her to watch Finn when needed. She is great with him and he loves her just as much. She always checked in with me when I was away and is so kind and respectful.”
“I hired Jacqueline to stay with my dog for five days while we were out of town for a wedding, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. My dog is 14 and a small guy, a little reactive to people, very reactive to other dogs, has strong separation anxiety, and takes multiple medications—so I was nervous about leaving him for the first time. Jacqueline completely put my mind at ease. She did two drop-in visits before the stay, patiently learned his quirks and routines, and handled all his meds perfectly. She was always responsive, sent updates and photos every day, and took his anxiety seriously, which meant a lot. When we got back, he was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Our home was also exactly as we left it. We also had a pre wedding event a week prior to the wedding itself for which she stayed wydh him that day. She was very helpful in that she brought him over to the event for a quick photo shoot for us and took him back home immediately when it was done. I’m really grateful for how thoughtful and attentive she was, and I 100% would book her again. Highly recommend Jacqueline, especially if you have a senior dog or one with quirks or anxiety.”
“Stephanie was very responsive and took really good care of Indi. She gave us daily updates and left the house clean. Would book again and recommend her to friends and family.”
About: I am a young energetic girl in my 20s getting ready to go to grad school. I love animals and have a 85 pound lab at home! I work three days a week and am looking to walk and take care of animals on my days off. I have a very flexible schedule and I make sure to always be very transparent. I love all animals and will treat your animals as if they were my own. I will always update you on how our time together went.
“Jamie is awesome! She took such great care of our dog and cat while we were away for a few days. I appreciated all of the photos and videos she sent us and I could tell our pets were so well taken care of. I will definitely be asking Jamie to watch the pets again and cannot recommend her enough!”
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 4+ dogs at a time. I have had or taken care of all types of dog breeds. No longer having a dog of my own I am ready to love on your fur babies while you are away like they are my own! I currently work part time and have the mid day off, this is the perfect time to come walk and play with your pup! Most days I work a few hours in the morning and evening giving me flexibility to take care of your baby/babies! I currently live in an apartment but love to go for walks, my apartment also has a big fenced in dog area. If coming to your home im ready to play fetch, go for walks, and car for your fur baby!
“We had a wonderful experience with Gina and are SO grateful to have found her. Lukee is a large pitbull mix recovering from TPLO surgery and needs extra help getting around with his harness. Gina's medical experience gave us so much peace of mind. She handled him gently and confidently and even spent time massaging him to keep him comfortable. When we ran late getting home, she stayed without hesitation and truly went above and beyond. We came home to a comfortable dog and felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, skilled pet care.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, starting with neighbors’ dogs for walks and daily care. Over the years, I’ve continued pet sitting for friends, family, and coworkers. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including regularly caring for my parents’ pets and helping a friend with her two cats. In the past few years, I’ve also watched many coworkers’ dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a teacher, I have a consistent weekday schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care. I’m available for check-ins ands walks once during the day, as well as mornings and evenings. I’m especially flexible on weekends, when I have more open availability for extended visits, walks, or overnight care. I always make sure pets get the attention, routine, and care they need, even on my busier days. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. Since I live alone and don’t have pets of my own, I’m able to give my full attention to the pets I’m caring for. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels secure by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I provide plenty of updates, photos, and communication so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress free, whether they’re in my home or their own.
“Rebecca did a wonderful job with our one year old German Shepherd. She was professional, thorough and very responsive to me when I would check in. I appreciated her staying with our boy and will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and fish. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I have been a volunteer at many animal shelter, so I’m very experienced at handling and taking care of a dog or cat. I can walk for a long distance, so I can walk your dog as often as needed. My house is pretty clean and so it is a safe environment for a dog or cat to be around. I Just graduated college, so my schedule is pretty flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets! Plesease don’t hesitate to ask me more about the services. I currently work remotely, so I have a pretty open availability and able to take last minute scheduling as well. Let me know if there is anything else needed. I live in an apartment with a dog park and there is a park very close to where I live. So a lot of open space.
About: I currently have a golden retriever named Bennett and 2 cats named Kiki and Juju. I am also a mother to a 7 year old boy named Jude. I have worked as a dog bather and have always had pets growing up. I have dog sat for friends and families my entire life. I am in school for nursing and work as a bartender. My schedule is very flexible. I tend to work 3 days a week so I have plenty of down time to care for your animals. I love to walk and be outside in general and love to have animals with me while doing so. I am in school for nursing so I am naturally empathetic and feel that I was born to be a caregiver. I am also a mom so have plenty of skills with being playful and responsible.
“Gabby is great! She quickly helped us out when we needed someone for Bruno on a short notice. She is very responsive to messages and sends lots of photos. Bruno had a great time with her!!”
“Abigail was a great sitter for my large crew (3 dogs and 2 cats). She kept me updated on what was going on that while I was aware. She was very friendly abd the crew loved her. We'll book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Berlin
Karlina was an excellent dog sitter! She stayed with our 15 year old lab for 4 days in our home and I was so nervous to leave him. Karlina came to meet Diesel prior to the stay and immediately made me feel at ease. She updated us frequently with pictures and how he was doing. Our dog requires meds which she always gave us updates on as well. The house was left in excellent condition as well. I would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely book with her again.
We had a wonderful experience with Mindy who was our amazing dog sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dogs while we were away for the day. It was such a relief knowing our pup was comfortable at home and well cared for. We came back to a happy dog, which says it all. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter

The average cost of House Sitting in West Berlin is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $67 per night.

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 West 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 West 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.
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 West 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 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 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.

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.
