“Gianna was AMAZING with Stella - and managed her super well, despite Stella not being super easy at first! She was really communicative and Stella ended up having a great time with her!”
“Had no worries while we were on our vacation. Jessie sent us pictures and updates along the way, and it was so nice to come back knowing our house and our puppers had been taken care of. Thank you Jessie!”
“Magali was perfect! She took great care of our puppy, was very accommodating, and her experience helped Ansky feel extremely comfortable. We feel confident to leave Ansky with Magali during any future Napa trips! 💛”
“Katie is an exceptional pet sitter. We would 100 % recommend her. She asked good questions and listened well, taking the absolute best care of our dog Maeve. Kind hearted and knowledgeable, I wouldn’t hesitate to entrust any animal to her care. Well done Katie!”
About: I’ve been a proud dog owner my entire life. I have experience with all types of dogs (big to small, puppies to seniors). All have their unique challenges and I am more than happy to meet your pet’s specific needs. I am a recently retired from my previous career, which means I have even more time to spend with your pup. I am available most days to meet both you and your dog’s schedule. I know every dog has very unique needs to make them feel safe and trust others. I prefer to arrange a quick meet and greet if possible before scheduled services to make sure your dog is comfortable when I come to visit.
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life and have loved getting to spend time caring for other people's pets through Rover. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they're being well cared for while you're away. I'm a registered nurse, so being dependable, attentive, and following care instructions comes naturally to me. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they get the care, attention, and affection they're used to. Whether we're out on a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or just hanging out together, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how things are going! I’m available Friday -Sunday. Friday and Sunday I am available morning and evening. Saturday im available all day. Please reach out about additional flexibility and ill see what I can do! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During drop-in visits and walks, I’ll follow your instructions closely, so your pet can stick to their normal routine. Whether that’s feeding, freshwater, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), or just spending quality time together, I’ll provide attentive care every step of the way. On walks, I’ll use secure leash handling, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid situations that could put your dog at risk. In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would my own, making sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages each visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Rusty took care of two our elderly ladies with love and skill. She seems to be unflappable in dealing with mini crises. We hope that giving her a glowing review won't mean she's unavailable the next time we need her!”
About: I am the go to pet sitter in my family and group of friends. My husband and I have been unable to get our own pet up to this point due to lease agreements. However, I am meant to have a pet and have lots of care to give! I love to go on long walks and it’s way more fun with a pet friend. I have experience with extremely reactive, large dogs, antisocial cats, and everything in between. I love going on walks and make sure to get out of the house every day! I don’t commute to work which frees up extra time in my day. I make sure to follow the pet parents’ lead and protocol. Our friends often have a well established routine, so I make sure to follow it to not disrupt the animal. However, when possible, I like to spoil a little! That includes longer walks, extra words of praise, and playing with their favorite toys (fetch, tug-o-war, etc).
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I have been around all sorts of personalities and continue to do so with our furry friends. I have spent time volunteering at the SPCA in Fresno (my home town) and have always found animals interesting and fun. I they are always a delight to be around and getting to know them is always a treat. If pet sitting at a clients house, I would start my morning off early at around 4am making sure that your fur baby is ready for the day. By the time 7:45am rolls around I am getting myself ready for work and go to my regular day job which usually lasts until 5:30pm. After 6:00pm I will be at your house and will continue to care for and be a wonderful friend to all your pets. For walking jobs it will most likely take place on my days off (generally Thursday and Friday) or from 6:00pm-9:00pm. You can set the length and route for how long walks need to be, I am more than able to keep up with your pet’s needs. My Full Time job comes first, with my schedule from 8:45am to 6:00pm. I am always willing to work with you on how to best provide my attention for your fur baby. I work well when I have a detailed checklist of things that need to be taken care of. I don’t like to wing things. I will always provide plenty of pictures and videos daily so you know that your baby(s) and your house is in good hands. My phone is always at my side so if at any point you are feeling worried or just want to FaceTime, Skype, etc. your furry companion I am more than able to make that happen. Just know for days that I work my regular day job I ask that you remain patient and I will respond as soon as I am able.
“Ashley did a terrific job keeping me in the loop with my dogs for a long weekend! She was enthusiastic, friendly, and left my apartment cleaner than she found it! I definitely plan to use her again for dog sitting.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Victoria. Cooper can be a challenge initially (as he was for poor Victoria) but she showed so much patience with my scared, moody guy and earned his trust quickly. She was very responsive and conscientious and left the place spotless and I came home to a happy pup. Highly recommend.”

About: I have lots of experience caring for pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I cater to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and strive to provide the best care for your pets while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I prioritize giving each pet the attention and care they need. Each day includes feeding, walking, playtime, and regular check-ins to ensure pets are happy and healthy.

About: I am a Napa native and I work in downtown at a civil engineering firm. I have had animals around my whole life and will always love all pets like they are my own. I have experience house sitting for dogs, cats, lizards, and ducks/chickens. This includes walking, feeding special diets, housing needs, and administering medications. I look forward to meeting some new friends! I work Monday through Friday 8-5 with an hour lunch which allows me to do mid day check ins. I prefer house and pet sitting when taking care of animals which allows me to work around my work schedule and provide your animals with the attention that they require. Being able to take care of animals in their own home is important to me because it offers them a sense of comfort especially when someone new is around. I aim to keep up with normal house hold routines so your animals doesn’t get too stressed.
“Cathleen went above and beyond when she watched our house and kitty for 9 days. We returned to a spotless home, filled with great energy. It was a great feeling to return to a clean house after a long flight. Our kitty and plants are thriving, thanks to Cathleen’s help.”
“Leslie does a fantastic job with all of our pets! She has been our go-to first choice sitter since our first booking with her over a year ago. She's thoughtful, plans ahead, and keeps us in the loop.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union
Channing was wonderful with my three pets, Brie, Reggie, and Penny! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, responsive, and communicative. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout my trip, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also took amazing care of my home! I came back to an immaculate apartment. She washed the bedding and towels, put away the dishes, and honestly left my place even cleaner than I had left it. I really appreciated how thoughtful and respectful she was of my space. There was a small hiccup on the first day when an unexpected maintenance visit led to my dog, Brie, slipping out the front door and startling the maintenance worker with her big presence. Thankfully, everyone was okay! It was just one of those unpredictable situations and a good learning experience for me, too. I would have appreciated hearing about it a little sooner, but I completely understand that unexpected things happen, especially with pets! Overall, Channing was kind, attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond in caring for my pets and home. I would absolutely book her again and truly appreciate everything she did for my little crew! ❤️
We booked with Gina for a five day trip and were very happy with her care of our pets and home. She has a very calm, grounded presence that I'm sure my dogs appreciated, and I really liked that she diligently kept them to their usual routine meaning less disruption for them. She's very responsive with communication, and we felt confident leaving our home and pets in her care. Thank you, Gina!
Rusty took the best care of Jobin! I had my pet care fall through at the last minute, and Rusty stepped in and was a stellar sitter. I received multiple check-ins with pictures every day. I never had to wonder how Jobin was doing. I really appreciated the level of communication. I highly recommend Rusty as a sitter!
Dorothy was amazing! She took such good care of our new puppy. Our puppy is still house training and Dorothy was very attentive and helped support her learning. She was also a great houseguest- leaving the place spotless. I’ll definitely be calling her again.
Olivia was fantastic! She was patient with our boys and they became fast friends! We felt confident and comfortable leaving for our honeymoon with our boys in her care. She was communicative and sent pictures/updates daily. House was clean, bedding was washed and bed was made upon our return! We’ve never left our boys with anyone but family before but are so happy to have found someone not only we are comfortable with but our boys as well. Will absolutely try to book with Olivia again the next time we need someone to watch our boys! 💫
Avery did a meet and greet before sitting Archie the first time, and asked good questions. She arrived on time for the overnight stay and left Archie and the house as we left them. She was gentle and patient with Archie, who takes awhile to warm up to new people. We would use her again for dog sitting.

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 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 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 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 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.

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.
