“What can I say? Gillian is great! She came over a couple of times to meet my dogs a week before I was leaving. She was very warm and engaging and I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her for a week. When I returned, my dogs were happy and I could tell they were well taken care of. I think my house was even cleaner than when I left! In addition, she kept me informed of how they were doing and sent cute pics. She was also quick to respond whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Gillian and would love to have her come back to pet sit.”
“Candi cared for our dogs in our home for seven days, and we were very pleased with the care she provided. She followed their routines closely and adhered to their feeding schedules, medications, and complex care needs. She was professional, punctual, and dependable, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were in good hands. One of our dogs is a paralyzed French Bulldog who requires specialized care, including regular bladder expressions and assistance with getting in and out of her wheelchair on a strict schedule. Candi handled these responsibilities with care and consistency, giving us confidence that our dog’s unique needs were being met. It was clear our dogs were loved and well cared for while we were away, and we returned to an immaculate home. The only feedback we would offer is that we would have appreciated more frequent daily updates and photos throughout our trip. Overall, we would absolutely hire Candi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”
“We were away visiting family for a month and it was the first time in a long time that someone besides a good friend of mine stayed at our house with our 3 cats. Of course I was a bit nervous with having a new sitter but Jill quickly put my concerns at bay. She was wonderful with communicating and sending photos of the cats so I was ensured that they were getting great care. Jill was also fantastic with keeping me up to date on other house issues. When we returned home, despite her being there for a month, the place looked like nothing had happened! Jill left the house so clean and had also take very good care of the outside areas. We could not have been more pleased and grateful with her stay and help!”
About: I believe happy dogs need lots of love and exercise. For all that dogs give us, we owe them a good life. I had the privilege to care for my sweet girl for 11 years. I’ve experienced and cherished the effort and reward of having a companion that would do anything for you. In return, I do everything I can to make sure we are giving dogs the life they deserve. I’d love to help you give your pup the life you know they want; one full of fun walks, adventures, healthy treats and positive training. I completed the Sirius dog training course to work with my dog and would love to share some of my passion for teaching with you and your dog! My house is surrounded by miles of trails but is still close to downtown. Your dog is sure to be tired, happy and relaxed after spending time with me! I am adept at senior care and giving medications. Early morning, or late nights . I believe in making sure your dog gets plenty of sniffing and exploring done, that meds are given at the same time, and that ear scratching and belly rubs are non-negotiable. Rain or shine. I have a flexible schedule, so anything works for me as long as I have enough notice. Everything I know about dog behavior and special care comes from the dog I adopted and cared for 11 years. My sweet girl was a high demand dog. She was a nervous baby from the shelter and had Cushings disease. She lived a long healthy life that required a lot of understanding and specific consideration of environment, dog psychology, and care. I'm always cognizant of potential mishaps, whether that's another dog that stares too long from a distance or a trail of goldfish crackers, I make sure your dog is safe and feels good in my care. I work hard to build trust with every animal I meet. I let them take the lead (metaphorically!) and make sure we are always progressing and adjusting depending on temperament, personality, and the multitude of signals that dogs are giving us all the time and are so often misunderstood. After every walk I do thorough tick checks. I follow directions to the T and always have extra poop bags.
“Hannah is in a class all by herself. Nurturing, reliable, accommodating are all words that I’d use to describe Hannah. I was in a bind to find someone that meshed well with my dog Maisie and cat Zooey-and Hannah came through with flying colors! Her communication was stellar, attention to detail applaudable and kind spirit soothed both my anxious dog and me while I was away. I recommend Hannah without hesitation.”
“Nicole is very communicative and caring. She jumped in to help with a very last minute request. She is calm, and is really sweet with the dogs. We had to end the booking early due to concerns with my dog’s behavior but I’m thankful she was able to flag the issues early on. She is easy to work with and your dogs wills be in great hands.”
About: I am always the first to be called when a friend needs doggy daycare or house sitting with dogs, cats, and often other animals. I’ve fostered and found homes for rescues internationally and domestically. I’ve worked for a doggy daycare where I was responsible for 50-70 dogs with a crew of 2-4 people. I also spent a few months off and on taking care of 10-22 huskies while part of the herd were sled racing. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy seeing all of their unique personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was small. We always had cats when I was little, as well as ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, my turtle boy China B, parakeets, and a Senegal parrot foster. I was surprised with a rescue dog when I was 10, Hemingway. It was an amazing experience and I helped train Hemmy to be a service dog for my grandmother who was visually impaired. I’m self employed and have the flexibility to set my daily schedule around your animals needs and regular routine. Lots of scritches, play time and love are part of my commitment to your pets. I am available for short and long walks (depending on your animals needs and ability), playtime, companionship, love and affection, meals and snacks as well as monitoring medication if needed.
“Bohni was a treat on all levels!!! She stayed with my cat for 3 nights and 4 days.. I think my cat likes her more. The house was better than I left it.. Angel was calm and happy.. I was able to be away from her for the first time and feel confident in her STELLAR care.. if there were 10 stars she would get them all!!!!! Got photos all well everyday!!!! Happy customer”
About: If you want your pets/children/homes well taken care of give me a call! I will make sure all of your needs are met if you hire me! I plan on freeing up my schedule to do more jobs through the day instead of one full time job. Help me get started by hiring me! If I was in the position to hire someone to babysit, house sit, or pet sit, I would want someone to take all of my requests seriously and do a good job so that’s what I do!
“Richard was amazing with our fur babies. He was a trooper when it came to living without all amenities at our house. Very grateful to have had him stay and take such great care while we were away!”

Gillian took such good care of Bonito (as always)! He's an old big ball of love but also a big baby who can be difficult to finagle. Gillian expertly navigated his special needs and I came home to a tidy home and a happy pup. 100/10 would recommend her to anyone, especially those who have large pups with special needs.
What can I say? Gillian is great! She came over a couple of times to meet my dogs a week before I was leaving. She was very warm and engaging and I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her for a week. When I returned, my dogs were happy and I could tell they were well taken care of. I think my house was even cleaner than when I left! In addition, she kept me informed of how they were doing and sent cute pics. She was also quick to respond whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Gillian and would love to have her come back to pet sit.
Shae was a wonderful dog sitter for our senior pup. It was clear that our dog Chloe loved her and that Shae is a natural animal lover which makes it so much nicer when we go away! She wasn’t intimidated by her lengthy medication schedule and took great care of our pup and our home so we’d absolutely book her again!
The weekend with Shae was 5-star fabulous. Izzy had fantastic time, and was so happily worn out that she needed an afternoon nap. Shae did an amazing job on double duty dog and house. We will use her again and again for future travel trips. We happily recommend her to others in need Bill Dunn

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Union is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $112 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
