Alley is everything we needed in a pet sitter: attentive, responsive, and caring. She really got to know our cats and did a great job looking after them and cleaning up after them too.

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: 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.

Jenniffer was wonderful and took amazing care of my three kitties! She was very diligent in giving Clyde his medicine every day, even when he wasn’t very cooperative. She took care of everything, played with them, and treated them like they were her own. She sent lots of pictures and videos, communicated with me every day, and even let me know when the house got chilly so we could turn on the heat. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I know they will be in great hands the next time we go away!

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.

Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)

About: I've grown up taking care of pets; my childhood cat and my cousin's dog. I've cared for my neighbor's animals and currently have both a cat and a dog. My family and I trained my dog at home and I can help reinforce any training you're doing with your animal. I'm currently a college student in Boston and I'm looking to walk or sit pets as a part-time job and stay connected to my love for animals! During the winter and summer break, I have few commitments and can be very flexible with my hours and your pet's needs. I can do long walks for dogs, feed, play, clean up, and other general needs for both cats and dogs! I'm happy to send photo updates throughout the day if sitting or have flexible hours with whatever time your dog is typically walked!

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.

About: With over six years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked for three pet sitting companies, the MCSPCA, and at the same kennel twice. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and countless other animals—big and small—with love, patience, and reliability. Growing up surrounded by animals shaped my deep passion for their well-being, and I’m committed to treating every pet like family. 💞🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, as I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. That means I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your pet. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the week and weekends, and I’m happy to help with holiday or last-minute bookings. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, so this never feels like “work” to me—it’s something I look forward to every day!! :) I grew up with dogs and have been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I always follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and strive to make every visit calm, fun, and stress-free. Whether it’s a big, energetic pup or a shy senior cat, I have experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities ♥︎

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and treat every pet as if they were my own. I had the time of my life with my sweet girl, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year. She filled my life with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories, and caring for her was one of the greatest privileges of my life. As a special education teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll follow their routine closely and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits very well into my routine, especially since I’m currently off for the summer. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. During the school year, I have a structured schedule as a special education teacher, which still allows me to be available in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m organized and reliable, and I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and time without feeling rushed. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to details like feeding instructions, walks, medications, and any special needs. Safety is always my top priority, I make sure doors are secure, pets are properly leashed outside, and they’re never left unattended during visits. I also treat your home with respect and care, leaving everything clean and just as I found it. My goal is to build trust through reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. 🐾

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!

We are so thrilled to have found Allison to take care of our furry family member. She went above and beyond for our boy, spending extra time with him and was very attentive to his needs. She sent lots of photos and her visit summary was detailed and made us feel so at ease. We were able to really enjoy our vacation, worry free! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 25,810 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
  • 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.

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.
