“Bianca took care of my cat, Bubo, while I was out of the country for a week. Bubo is older and has been getting more and more finicky with age. But Bianca informed me every day how things were going, how she was eating and was also able to try other methods to try to get her to eat. It was great to have Bianca taking care of Bubo without having to worry. She's dependable, trustworthy and punctual. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I provide. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home. I’m patient with puppies and energetic dogs who need extra playtime and attention, and I’m equally happy caring for older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to care for your fur baby the same way I would want someone to care for my own, like part of the family. I’m a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and playtime, as well as a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their home, but I also have the ability to keep them separate from guest dogs if needed. This allows me to accommodate dogs who may prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while staying in my home.
“Barbara was amazing! This was our first time ever leaving our kittens, so we were pretty nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy. She was incredibly attentive, thorough, and responsive, and her updated and photos gave us so much peace of mind. We came back to two very happy kittens!”
“We were a little nervous about this as it was our first time using this app. Thankfully Amanda made the process so smooth. She communicated with me, and took pictures of the dogs, which put me at ease. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Veronica took such great care of our Charlie, he was well fed, watered and groomed. She also made sure our plants thrived and mail was taken care of, too. Couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Bee, and I’ve helped take care of dogs and cats for around 6 years. I don’t have any pets of my own (yet!), but I have assisted friends with dogsitting and also Rover-ing! I’ve also fostered cats, and that has given me an edge in knowing how to make an animal comfortable quickly, especially in a new environment. I also have experience in giving powder, pill, and eyedrop medication. I believe that in order to give your pet the best care, we should work together and be on the same page about your pet’s needs, habits, and anything else you’d like to share! I also love taking photos of them and sending them to update you on how they’re doing. If this all sounds great, send me a message! I work fully remote, so I have time to take your dog(s) on walks generally before 8:30 AM, sometime in the afternoon, and after work at 6 PM. We can work out an appropriate schedule that most closely mimics their usual routine! Within my community, we have a dog park, so depending on how comfortable you are with allowing your dog(s) to socialize with others while you are away, I can take them there or map a new route to avoid the dog park if needed. Around the community we have some good routes for walking as well as a pond in case your pup wants to explore and smell! In my home, we avoid any strong scents, plants, chemicals and cleaning products that could pose harm to animals. Trash is secured in a cabinet.
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 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: In both my home country of Argentina as well as in the US, I've taken care of small dogs and cats for several friends and families (as well as my own) for the last 15 years. I recently resigned from my regular job to spend more time with my family, and am ready to go back to do something I LOVE...care for cats and dogs :) I have 3 indoor cats who roam around my house, Pulgita, Simon and Patricio. Pulgita is the newcomer, less than 2 years old. Simon and Patricio are old timers, both 14 years old. I have a spacious house for them to roam around and play.
“Hannah is great! She is very good my dogs and they always looked happy in the check in pictures. They were cared for very well. I will be using Hannah again the next time I get a vacation.”

About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.
About: Life long dog lover who’s been professionally walking dogs for the past 5 years . I have a special bond with each and every dog. With my kids grown and out of the house I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and give them undivided attention I have a fenced yard and a playful Pomsky and golden doodle to keep your fur baby entertained for hours. They will have a great time staying with us!
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 have owned and fostered many different types of animals. I get along well with cats and dogs, and have fostered animals with special needs (bathing, ear cleaning, medication administration). I love to go on long walks and create a connection with animals. My goal is to make your’s and your pet’s lives easier by providing a safe, trustworthy, and reliable service. I currently work remotely and have a car, so I am very available for day-time walks and check ins, as well as into the evening and on weekends. I am happy to adhere to any special needs for your animals, but I’ll always be honest about what I have experience doing. I will follow all care instructions, and make sure to take the safest walking route for your dog!
About: I come from a long line of dog lovers! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and it’s been a privilege to continue spending my days with my favorite animal. I’ve walked and dogsat for neighbors and family friends since I graduated college in 2021. I’ve also worked at Wonder Dog Studio in Summit, NJ, where I was a Daycare Manager and Driver. So, if your pup loves the car, I’d be happy to take them for a drive! My schedule is very flexible for day time walks and care. I’m also a Stand Up Comedian, whose shows are normally at night, either in NJ or NYC. I’ll always make sure your pup is taken care of before I head out, and have a network of other dog sitters to help me out if needed. I always make sure the pets in my care never feel lonely! I’ll sit on the couch with them while I work, read a book, or watch TV. While staying in someone’s home, I make sure that doors are locked before I head out, as well as leave the TV or music on for anxious pets. Finally, I always make sure to send the owner pictures of their pet at least twice a day!
“I highly recommend Katrina. She took very good care care of our two cats, was very professional throughout the process, and sent updates so we knew how they were doing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely book her again!”

Julien did a great job taking care of our 2 cats. One of the cats needs a daily pill and he had to go out of his way to find where she was hiding at times, but he knew the hiding spots. Both of them ended up eating treats out of his hand. I appreciated the daily updates with photos of how everyone was doing. The litter genie was cleaned and everything was neat when we returned. Thanks again for a great job! We will definitely be in touch next time we travel.
Naomi really helped me out when I had a last minute booking to watch my cat for the weekend!! She replied quickly, made sure to get all the information she needed to learn his routine and care for him best, and he had a blast! She sent lots of photos and text updates while she was with him. I felt much less stressed knowing he was happy in her care while I was away!!
Shannon was WONDERFUL and we highly recommend her! We had a 'meet & greet' a few days prior and she was thorough, professional and so good with our dogs. She is so caring and we rested easy knowing our dogs were in her care while we were away. She was also an excellent communicator, followed all instructions for the dogs and was one of the best dog sitters we've ever had. We are very happy that we found her and our pups are, too!
Barbara has looked after our cats for years now. She does a great job of providing exceptional care. She is a great at communicating and very thorough in her care. This trip she helped me with a perishable delivery that i scheduled incorrectly when I wasn't home. All items were refrigerated by Barbara. This is obviously not in the job description but Barbara was happy to help. She goes above and beyond the role of just drop in visits. If you are looking for the best look no further than Barbara.
Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties, Jellybean and Sid, while we were away! Her detailed rover cards with lots of pictures really helped us feel at ease knowing that our fur babies were getting so much love and care. Would definitely book again — thank you so much!
I was in search of a trust worthy and reliable dog sitter and lucky Rover sent Lexy and I Akshay! Super friendly, flexible, and reliable. The most important factor is that Lexy feels comfortable and safe with him! We look forward to many more walks and home stays.
It is our second time booking with Sara and we feel so lucky to have found her. She is wonderful with our pup, she updates and submits a card at each visit and sends us lots of pictures. We came home to a happy puppy! We highly recommend Sara! Don't hesitate, she is the very best!
Finding Theresa to cat-sit my two furbabies was a blessing. I’m so happy and at ease with her watching my cats! She is prompt with responses and is thorough in her care. She was able to accommodate a last-minute trip and come for a meet and greet very quickly. My cats loved her immediately, and it is evident that she cares for them as well. She made sure to get all their feeding routines down, played with them, and even cleaned the litter box. She has a real sense for cats and was able to connect with their unique personalities. :) I highly recommend Theresa if you are looking for a reliable, thorough, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Union is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $40 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 November 2026, there are 27,669 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
