About: I have helped raise two dogs growing up, one cocker spaniel and one golden retriever. I have also somewhat raised outdoor cats. I’ve pet sat for over 5 cats and 3 dogs. I love taking care of animals and becoming buddies with them. Big dogs do slightly intimidate me so I would like to stick to small to medium dogs. My boyfriend and I are also taking care of his brothers cat at the moment so that gives me some entail on how to care for a cat. I live in Columbia but for the summer I am spending my days in Union. I am from Hermann and work there as well so I am willing to drive to take care of your furry friends. I work from 9am to 3/4pm (depending on the work load I could get done earlier) and I don’t have set days I work but I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I know some animals can be difficult but I have patience to take care of them. Kindness and compassion are two things that animals need from us and I give them all of it. I will care for your pets based on all the information you give me and if I have any questions I will ask. I also have many friends with animal experience who can help me out if needed. I won’t mistreat your home and will clean up after myself as well as keep it cleaned. I can keep your home and pets safe.
“Vanessa was incredible! This was my first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience so comfortable! She was extremely reliable, and took great care of our dog. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I live with 3 dogs and 2 cats! One of the dogs is 100% my dog and the other animals are my parents that I help take care of! I give all my pets baths, haircuts, and nail trimmings as well as food, water, cuddles and playtime! I have trained all of my dogs! My dog’s ages are 2, 7 and 16! I spend all my time and effort ensuring my pets are safe and well taken care of and will do the same for your pets! I currently work full-time from 6am-2:30pm. I can be available for any of your pet needs after 3pm and will ensure your pet is the happiest animal in the world while in my care! I can do doggy day care services during the days on weekends or evening doggy care during the week if needed! I will ensure 100000% safety and care for your pet(s)! I own a German Shepherd with hip dysplasia and a high risk of bloat so I understand what it means to put in that extra effort to ensure the pets 100% comfortable and safe!
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”
About: Hello everyone! I’ve been a pet sitter for as long as I can remember — starting with family friends, then growing through referrals, and even including my college dean. In high school I volunteered regularly at 5 Acres Animal Shelter, where I cared for cats in the Kitty Cottage and helped socialize dogs by taking them on outings and to special events. Fun fact: my college dean and their wife found one of my pet-sitting ads, and I spent four years as their in-home dog sitter! Between my boyfriend and I we have two cats and a dog. Let's just say they are spoiled rotten! I am a full time engineer at local company. For in house pet sitting, if your pet cannot go up to 8 hours being home alone on the week days we may not be a good fit! But on the weekends I can assure you that they will not be left alone longer than 3 hours. I do require a written out schedule and or pet habits (such as when they get fed, when they usually go outside, how many walks a day, how often to scoop litter, where supplies are) to ensure we have crystal clear directions! That way I can clarify anything before you leave! Please message me and we can discuss your pet's schedule! I do not provide pet sitting in my home due to I have pets of my own. I can assure you that in your home your fur baby will be well loved and cared for. As I have years of in home pet sitting I can assure you that your home will be cleaner than you left it, you will have an ample of fur baby pictures I have sent to your phone and most importantly a stress-free happy fur baby. Please message me with any questions!
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Union is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 859 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Union. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
