“We are so thankful for Nicole! Thanks to Nicole, we felt comfortable leaving our pup for a night with no worries. Seeing that she is able to watch dogs with special needs, we need she would be the right fit for our pup, who can tend to have some behavioral issues at times. She was able to come meet him beforehand and go over everything she would need to know to watch him. She sent us updates, including pictures and videos, and did such a wonderful job. We will absolutely book with Nicole again for any future dog sitting needs!”

“Vincent was amazing with my two pitties - he kept me updated throughout the day with photos and notes on how they were doing. I get a little anxious leaving them overnight, but he was great to work with and put my mind at ease. My dogs can be a little leash reactive and one of them gets a shot every other day on top of a few other medications, but he was able to handle all of that no problem. I definitely recommend him and will be booking with him in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m a college student home for the summer and a lifelong dog lover. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to provide updates for peace of mind. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I prioritize regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their routine while their owners are away. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including pets recovering from medical procedures.

“We highly recommend Delilaha, her communication was amazing. She sent photos, updates and was there exactly when she said she was going to be. The girls felt comfortable with her and relaxed when we arrived home, which is such a good sign for our rescue dogs. We will definitely use her in the future.”

“David was wonderful with our anxious dog while we were away at a wedding. So good in fact that she appeared to lose her anxiety issues all together. He is clearly very experienced with animals and they are very receptive to him. He knew exactly how to work with her to lower her anxiety levels throughout a long stay. We are so grateful to have found someone like him for our dog!”

About: I've owned many cats through all stages of their lives, from kittens to seniors. I've volunteered as a dog walker at the Humane Society for almost two years and have experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I watched friends' pets while they've been away and I'm comfortable with following whatever particular instructions you may have for your pets. I have a flexible job that I can fit around caring for your pets, so I'm available just about any time. Plus, I love the opportunity to take a break and spend time with a furry friend. I will treat your pet like it's my own. I also understand how important consistency is for training and behavior, so I will always follow the rules you have for your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dog for the past 7 years, taking them on walks and plenty of potty breaks. I follow a motto that a dog always needs more treats. I’m currently a graduate student, but the schedule is quite flexible but I tend to be quite free on weekdays after 4 pm and can do boarding on most weekends! I have no yard as I live in an apartment with my cat. There is plenty of windows and the neighborhood is quite safe for everyone.

About: I’ve worked with dogs as I have 3 dogs of my own. I enjoy making the pets happy and caring for them ! I’ve cared for puppies as well, my dog has had puppies so yes I have worked with 9 puppies at a time lol. Part time would be the best. I am a college student but fully online so I pretty much have an open schedule on any day I’m available! I enjoy playing with dogs and making them happy. As for taking them outside, feeding them, walking them, playing with them. It all works for me!

About: I think what sets me apart is all the experience I have had with dogs. We have had dogs since I was a baby. We have had labs, Havanese, mixed breeds and doodles. My family always lived on a farm with tons of animals, so we always had many pups. We have cared from them since they were puppies and when some had cancer and were sick. I will make sure to love and take care of your pup as if they were my own. They will always be in good hands. I work from home, so I am available everyday at any time and weekends! My routine will be around your pups schedule. I will make anything work to make things easier for you. If pets are in my home, they will be comfortable as if it was their own. My yard is fenced in, so they can play in the back. I always have the water bowls filled and will keep them on their food schedule. My dogs sleep in my room with me, so if you don’t mind your pup will have it’s own spot in my room to sleep too!

Vincent was great with my animals and understood the level of diligence needed to care for them. He asked questions that made me feel good about having them in his care and took the time to come before I left for a trip to get to know them and their routine and home set up. He showed up on time and kept me informed while I was away. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Union Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 211 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Union Center. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Union Center walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Union Center maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Union Center choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 .

sitters 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 sitter.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
