Dawn was the best! Sent comprehensive notes at every visit and updated us with photos. We have a senior cat that we didn’t want to uproot from home, Dawn visited him 2x/day and spent time with him to make sure he was okay. We are so lucky to have found her!

We are so glad we found Alley! She was very professional, friendly, super communicative, and kind. She visited twice a day while we were gone for two weeks and gave him all the love and medications he needed during our absence! I was stressed about leaving him as he recently had a medical issue, but thanks to her attentive care, he bounced back quickly and seemed to truly enjoy having her company.

Jen was very sweet, what can I say? We left our car hiding under the bed, as she had pretty stressful couple of weeks before our departure, and we came back to a very happy and relaxed cat. Thank you Jen for taking care of her and making sure she felt safe !

About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.

Trixie is opening right up to Leigh! She's normally very reserved around new people. It's so great that she's so chatty so quickly—it's a very positive sign. :)

About: I've cared for dogs almost all of my life. As a latchkey kid, my first job was to care for my two sweet dogs when I got home. I'm skilled in caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and love. ❤️ I'm available in the mornings to early afternoons. I work part-time in the evenings most nights. I am as flexible as my job schedule allows me to be! Sending photo and video updates are my favorite, so you can always see your pets! I currently live in a pet free household with a fenced in yard. I do not smoke. I'm a thorough cleaner if needed.

About: I have dogs all my life, and adore animals. I am truly happier around animals, and keeping them company and safe while having fun as well. I am available on the weekends to take care of your pup and make sure they have the best time while their parents have a mini vacay. I have a big fenced yard where your pup is able to run around freely, and a cute little cute friendly Yorkie to keep your pup company.

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.

Jamie also follows all care directions meticulously which is a big relief when we need to be out of town. Thank you Jamie!

Dominique was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Millie! She was timely for the drop-in and made sure Millie was happy and comfortable by scooping her litter, refilling her food, giving her a treat and playing with her. We could not have asked for a better sitter to give us peace of mind!

About: I’ve lived with all kinds of dogs my whole life and work at a dog daycare where I help provide luxury pet care to our clients. I absolutely love animals and am willing to work with pets that take extra time and care! I currently work part time at a dog daycare. During the week I leave no later than 7:30, meaning I’d be available any time after that. on weekends I currently do not work and am available for sitting/walking bookings At home I have a big pup of my own that i care for. Throughout the day I let her out in my yard as needed and take her for 3 walks a day. I make sure that she has water all day and feed her twice a daily. And of course, I give all her love and attention I possible can!

About: Hi! My name is Morgan and I am a college student. I have a half Belgian Malinois-German Sheppard named Juno and she is 11! I have loved animals my whole life and trying to make some extra money before I go back to college! My dog is a handful and I have dog sat my whole life growing up, from Shih Tzu’s and Maltese to German shepherds, I love dogs all ages and sizes. I am home from college, so I have a lot of time on my hands. I play basketball in college so I love to stay active and go on walks. my dog walks between 7 to 8 miles a day, goes to the park every day, and eats only the best food. She has a strict routine that my family follows and I see how much it has benefited her as she gets older.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Union Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Union Beach on Rover is $24.42 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 25,638 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Union Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Union Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Beach. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
