About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊

About: What sets me apart is my strong sense of responsibility and genuine passion for animals. I provide consistent, attentive, and personalized care for each pet, always focusing on their comfort and well-being. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, including those who require extra patience, supervision, or special routines. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home while in my care. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy and do every day. I plan my days around walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels happy and comfortable. It’s part of my regular routine and something I take seriously.

I have a dedicated, fully adapted room specifically for pets, as well as a securely enclosed patio where they can safely run and play. Your pet’s well-being and safety are my top priorities.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the house and have always helped care for them. I also pet-sit my family and friend’s dogs when they are away. I am currently a college student that attends classes a little later in the day, so I have free time during the day. I am available to walk dogs on tuesday’s, wednesday’s, and thursday’s from 11am-3pm. I care for my dog and other dogs by playing with them and giving them the right amounts of food and water. I also have a pretty spacious backyard for them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7. I’ve grown up in house with all the pets. Cats, dogs, birds, fish, hamsters. I’m currently on furlough for the summer. I’m very open. :) I am early bird and love post dinner walks. I am very flexible When on dog walks, I take the safety of your dog very seriously. I carry a pepper spray on me to ensure that if God forbid i'm walking your dogs and we got charged by an aggressive dog, I'll be able to keep your dog safe and out of harm's way. I also use body block methods to keep my clients dogs safe on walks in the event I'm charged by off leash dogs (which I have been hence the pepper spray precaution I take now) I tend to always avoid dogs on walks unless you point out to me any dogs you know that it's ok for your dog to greet and interact with. Other than that, I rather be safe then have your fur baby hurt. when I bring my lunch on me I always be sure I get something dog safe for me to eat God forbid your dog gets any ideas, they won't be harmed in that way.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a dog of my own. I genuinely love animals and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, giving plenty of attention, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I treat every dog like family and take pride in being patient, dependable, and attentive to their individual needs. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine because I have a dog of my own. I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving my dog plenty of attention and care. I’m active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so adding walks and pet visits into my routine is something I genuinely enjoy rather than see as a chore. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and respect I give my own dog. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions they provide. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always leave their home clean and secure.

About: I've cared for dogs, including mine, for as long as I can remember! In doing so, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, and sometimes even grooming said dogs, of which all owners have said that I did an excellent job! In my transition to college, I have a month where I'll be given all the free time in the world, which makes it the perfect opportunity to give some pet owners their well-deserved free time as well! I have one 45-pound female dog who loves running in our fenced backyard! Additionally, we have a dog park only a few blocks away, giving us even more room to run and play! Whenever we aren't home, we have a nice crate that our dog stays in with peaceful music playing in the background in case she gets anxious!

About: Growing up with dogs, I’ve always had a special love for animals and the unique personalities they bring into our lives. I’m a proud dog dad to my 8-year-old German Shepherd, Nala, who is truly my world. ❤️ Caring for her has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and treating every dog like family. I’ll bring that same love and attention to your pup, making sure every walk is safe, enjoyable, and filled with care. 🐾 I’m currently a full-time employee and college student, but I make time in my weekly schedule for something I genuinely love: spending time with dogs. I have flexibility on my days off and am happy to coordinate with pet parents in advance to find a schedule that works best for everyone. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of following each pet's routine, respecting their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. My apartment complex has a dedicated dog park, and I enjoy going on weekly hikes with my German Shepherd, Nala, so I'm experienced with keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether we're going for a neighborhood walk or exploring the outdoors, I’ll always prioritize your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being.

I take extra care in providinig my pets with a safe environment at home, I make sure they know this is their home and can feel at ease and happy.

About: I’ve loved animals from a young age, caring for my neighbors’ dogs growing up and having a dog and cats of my own at different points in my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with love, attention, walks, playtime, and care. Mondays and Fridays are my best weekday availability, but I can also make other weekdays work depending on the timing and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect their routines and boundaries, and provide plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

Kathleen was a great walker for my pup!! She helped me with 2 walks for my dog on a day I had to go into my office. I really appreciated her communication around both walks. We even had some problems with the door codes I created for her to get into my building not working and she was super understanding and flexible to work around the issue. She asked questions to make sure my dog would be comfortable and taken care of and delivered on everything! She is so nice she even replaced the poop bag with my backup role because it ran out on the second walk. Will definitely book again!!!!

Hazel was an exceptional dog walker, and I highly recommend her. She was consistently reliable, punctual, and dependable, giving me complete peace of mind. Most importantly, she handled my very difficult dog with remarkable patience and compassion. She took the time to understand my dog's personality and built trust through consistency and care, even when walks were challenging. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog Flash's well-being and always went above and beyond to ensure they were safe, exercised, and comfortable. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who can confidently handle even the most challenging dogs, Hazel is an excellent choice.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Union is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 28,061 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Union. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Union. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Union after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
