Amazing communication let’s start with that! Naomi has been great with communicating with us via the app and giving us updates while she’s spending time with our new puppy cali! She gives us tips and tricks on training cali and answers any questions we may have since we are new dog owners. Naomi is great and we’ll definitely be booking her again!

Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and understanding I bring to every pet. As a psychology student, I’ve developed strong skills in observing behavior, recognizing body language, and responding with patience and empathy. While animal behavior and human psychology aren’t the same, those skills help me better understand each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. I’ve also grown up surrounded by animals and have always helped care for my family’s pets. I’m a proud dog and cat owner myself. I’ve raised my dog since she was a puppy, so I understand the time, consistency, and love that goes into helping a pet feel safe and happy. I also care for my cat, which has taught me to appreciate different personalities and care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working a part-time job and I’m looking for an another job on my days off doing something that I love. Sticking to their exact routine such as feeding schedules and bathroom habits exercise and medications to minimize stress and always communicating regularly with the owners.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with over 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. From energetic pups who love long walks and playtime, to senior dogs who need extra patience, medication, and gentle care—I’ve done it all. I’ve built my own dog sitting and walking business over the years, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving lots of cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. ✨ Experience includes: • Dog walking & drop-ins (30–60 mins) • Overnight stays in your home • Administering medication • Caring for puppies & senior dogs • Feeding, playtime, and lots of love I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority 💛 Let’s set up a meet & greet—I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I work remotely every other week, which means more time at home for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and extra attention 💛 Even on my in-office weeks, I stay consistent and reliable—your pet’s routine always comes first! I have always loved animals ever since I could remember, especially dogs. Whenever I care for other dogs, its always a pleasure. I have fenced yard and I am located near a close dog park to make sure your fur babies are staying active. I also have a dog myself that can keep your dogs company.

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

About: My willingness to care for your pet as if they were my own sets me apart from most walkers , not to mention walking dogs is a form of therapy for me . Im the owner and operator of my business and can adjust my hours to ensure all pets on my schedule will have the time and care they need . I honestly view pets as children and treat them as such in order to keep them safe and minimize if any mess they may or may not produce

About: My name is Christine and I've been working in pet care- dog walking, pet/house sitting and even dog grooming for 5+ years. I worked as a dog washer at In and Out Grooming in Garwood and am an avid dog walker. I've been a dog owner, and find pet care to be the most fulfilling job I've ever had. I love all breeds, and though I am small in stature I love walking big dogs! I can provide nail clippings and also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits. I have a very flexible schedule, outside of pet care I am pursuing a career in theater. Extremely flexible schedule! I have free daytime hours, while working on a theater schedule. Great for daytime walks and drop ins. Weekends available, don't hesitate to request! I have house sitting experience to keep your pets company while you're away! I've worked with many breeds and personalities of pet in the place they are most comfortable, happy to just spend time with them and adapt to their routines. I also don't mind doing some general house cleaning if I were to do house sitting and home visits.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 2 years and truly love caring for animals. Along with my experience providing overnight care, I currently work as a veterinary assistant, where I care for both dogs and cats in a professional setting. Working in vet medicine has helped me become comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including senior pets and anxious animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, so I fit pet care around my work schedule. I’m available on weekends and some Thursdays, which I’ve listed in my availability. I make sure to plan ahead so I can be consistent and give pets proper care and attention when I’m with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get walks and bathroom breaks, and receive plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner.

Kethely is a top tier sitter. She showed my cat babies so much affection and attention. Both of my babies warmed up to her immediately putting all of my apprehension to rest. I was shared pictures and videos of my babies on a daily basis. I will definitely book Kethely in the future. 10/10.

Shannon provided cat sitting for my two cats over a period of a week via daily drop ins. She was detailed and thorough in her meet and great. Shannon was intentive to my cats needs, kept me updated throughout my travel, and made sure to exercise my cats the best one can. She easily navigated my automated cat feeders, kept the litter box clean, and made sure to tidy up any messes the cats may have made between visits. I'm sure the boys will miss their daily play time and tube treat sessions with Shannon! Will be sure to book again.

Tiara was so amazing with our two kitties. It was the first time we were leaving them for vacation and we had also just moved into a new house a few weeks ago. They have always been unsure of guests in the home and always hide so we were a little nervous leaving them with a stranger. Tiara made sure to check on them every day, that they had food, water and a clean box. She was able to give our girl cuddles and by the last day she was even able to pet our very scared boy which made him feel more comfortable. She also cleaned up the litter that they tracked outside the box and left a goodie bag of treats and other stuff for them. You can really tell she has a lot of experience with animals cares for them and wants them to feel comfortable when their family is gone. We will definitely be using her again next time we are away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Union on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 12,008 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Union. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
