“Chidi and Ellie approve of Robin! Great time, good attention to all the around the house details, much appreciate the extra efforts, and the puppies are happy! Thank you!”
“Rachel took amazingly great care of my dogs over the 4th of July weekend. She checked in frequently and responded quickly to questions. She made sure they were comfortable and well cared for during the whole stay. She ensured they got plenty of outside time and was very careful about making sure they were all medicated and in the house before any of our neighbors lit off their fireworks. She always takes such great care of our three pups and we’re so glad we found her! She also takes great care of the house as - kept everything super clean and tidy. We will always have Rachel as our sitter whenever possible for going out of town. The peace of mind she provides is priceless and I always know my dogs are safe and in good hands.”
“Ruby stayed in my home while I was out of town for work. She took amazing care of my pups, python, and plants while I was away! Came home to a clean house and happy critters, will definitely book with her again!”
“Brougan stayed overnight to watch my 1 adult cat and two 5 month old kittens. He paid attention to the feeding schedule and left the home as he found it. We are using him again!”
“Erika and Maxwell took such great care of our pets and house. We got fantastic photos throughout our time away. They were very responsive to any questions and enthusiastic about spending time with our pup! Would definitely recommend them.”
“Emma was the best! Left for a 4 day weekend trip and left the keys to the house to her. When I came back, it was like she was never there. House was in great shape, Thor was a happy pup, and she gave me continuous updates. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks, Emma.”
About: Completed provided training and volunteered at the Animal shelter I’m comfortable providing insulin shots or oral medications as needed I can do basic hand and commands at your request to be continuous in the training of dogs. Often referred to as the animal whisperer with over 30 years experience of loving and caring for my own and other pets including cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragon, goats, horses, cows and turtles. My calm demeanor can aid even tho most anxious of animals. I believe animals make our lives better and would welcome the opportunity to walk and play with your pets. Caring for them like they were my own but with your needs in mind. Let me know what you need and I’m sure we can work it out. Sprocket and I love being outside. Dog walks are awesome when he too can tag along. Only with prior permission. Rovering is how i spend my days with regular clients and fitting in others where feasible. Sprocket has a small backyard for play but prefers to go for car rides in his crate for new adventures. We play both indoor and out door games. correction is made with positive reinforcement.
“I really can't thank Bryan enough for the great service he provided while we were away. For three weeks he took care of our cat, chickens, garden, and houseplants, all of which thrived under his care. He also handled a few things that came up while we were away. Getting home from our trip, the house was cleaner than we left it. He is excellent!”
“Sydney was a great sitter! She communicated very well and took good care of my pup and place while I was gone. When I returned, my place was clean and my dog was healthy and happy! Would recommend to anyone! I have a large dog and she did great!”
“My family is so grateful to have found Paula! She is absolutely wonderful with our two large dogs and really put our minds at ease while traveling. She went above and beyond to make sure our pups got what they needed while we were gone and kept us updated throughout. We have one dog that typically doesn't eat when we leave, but Paula patiently sat with her and got her to eat her meals. Plus, she clearly loves dogs, especially our itty bitty pitty, and gives them so much love and attention! We will definitely hire Paula to pet sit or drop-in in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, I have 2 cats as well! While I was in college my roommates had dogs that I would watch when they would leave or couldn’t come home in time. I’m good with both both cats and dogs. Im currently working part time, I don’t think pet sitting is a job it’s so fun to do so I would love it as a side job. I’m also getting my masters in biomedical sciences right now My pets have access to every inch of the house and are well cared for, toys, scratch post and many treats! I love playing with them, taking them outside, feeding and can also clean litter boxes
About: I grew up with all sorts of pet friends: frogs, geckos, dogs, and cats. From a year long pet sitting gig to one of my regulars that has geese and ducks! Let me know how I can provide peace of mind to your family while you're away. My work from home position and my Wednesday-Sunday work schedule gives me a unique position that most others cannot provide. I am home bound for work during typical "social days" and love to have pets of all kinds as my coworkers! Everyone's needs are different. I personally have two indoor cats that I would never let out. But, I know others who have an outdoor cat they take on walks. Understanding that each pet has a different personality, routines, and temperament is the key to making sure everyone's needs are met.
“Naina was great with my 2 pups, and very cognizant of my space. I returned to happy pups and a house in perfect order. Their communication was great, and I got plenty of updates and cute photos that let me miss my goobers even more.”
“Holly is an excellent sitter who I would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a sitter for a quick check in or for a longer stay. She watched my dogs for a week while I was across the country and she was communicative and went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were comfortable. I’ve used her multiple times in the past and it’s always been a great experience. Holly is also very flexible for emergencies and changes in schedules. I will continue to use her in the future!”
“Sara was amazing! We had to hire someone short notice and I’m so glad we found Sara. She showed up on time and was able to do a meet and greet before the overnight stay. Sara communicated with us regularly while were away. And sent us such cute pictures!! We will definitely book her again for future trips.”
About: I’ve helped raised 10 dogs: 2 samoyds, 2 golden retrievers, 2 labs, a border collie, a Dobermann, a Bernese mountain dog, and a chihuahua. I also was a door to door and pizza delivery man who Interacted with every type of dog as a stranger entering their territory. I’ve been in multiple threatening positions and have a lot of confidence from that. I can read demeanor very well. My most recent partner and I ended things and she took the dogs. Sad country song in the making lol. I find this therapeutic and isn’t just a side hustle. I genuinely love all dogs and it helps me just as much as helping you. I work from home as an insurance broker. I will shape my schedule around the dogs. I can also work anywhere so it allows me to travel to you as well. I have a fenced back yard with locks on the gate. My office is in the back yard with a big window for me to see them. I am an active dog watcher who goes with the flow of what the owner requests. I do not like leaving them alone ever. If I come to your house I will not have any guests over and I always give active updates.
“Ami was incredible! I can’t overstate how easy she made it for us to leave our fur children for a few days (which is usually a very stressful and not a fun thing for me). Amy’s amazing communication kept my mind at ease knowing all of our pets were in great hands and getting lots of love. I was very impressed with Ami’s ability to navigate the dynamics of all of our pets with ease - we recently added a puppy to the family (~7 months old) and our 9 year old cats are still very much getting adjusted to having her in the house (never lived with a dog before) and Ami was able to not only keep them all from killing each other lol, but she kept them all very happy. You can tell by all the updates and pictures that they loved her and she earned their trust very quickly. I could go on with so many more examples, but I’ll leave it at she’s amazing - highly recommend!!”
About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Union
We wouldn't trust our pets with anyone else! Ruby went above and beyond, kept us updated the entire time we were away, and our dog Mocca & cats Phoebe & Lily were so relaxed and happy when we got home. She gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were so well cared for and happy when we walked through the door. We will never book anyone else! Worth every single penny—10/10 recommend!
We have used Ami to watch our Cattle Dog, Tucker, a few times now. She continues to take such good care of him, snuggling, playing and going for walks regularly. During this visit Ami went above and beyond reporting about an ear infection Tucker had and was gracious enough to take him to an emergency vet visit to get him taken care of while we were out of town. 10/10 recommend using Ami for dog sitting in your home!

The average cost of House Sitting in South Union is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $32 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 South Union 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 South Union 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 South Union 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.
