About: I've watched dogs for others for years, starting with my former dance instructor when I was a teenager to now and my client list has grown exponentially over the years through word of mouth. While most of the dogs I've cared for are seniors and have a special place in my heart, including my own now, I also love to care for those with more high energy and enjoy walking and playing. I make sure to communicate any issues that arise as soon as possible and accommodate to your pets needs as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but can dedicate lots of love and attention to your pet whenever I'm off work or on my lunch break if it’s close by. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of food, rest, and exercise depending on yours and their needs. When pet sitting, I like to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I know having a new body around can be stressful, but I always manage to have pets feel comfortable and happy when I'm around. I also clean up after myself, to the point where you won't even know I was there, as well as your pet if there are any messes that need to be cleaned--bathroom accidents, vomit, etc, I've cleaned it all!
“We can’t thank Jasmine enough for the incredible care she gave our cat, Leo, while we were away. She went above and beyond—sending thoughtful updates, giving plenty of affection, and making sure every detail was taken care of. We came home to a very content cat, and that peace of mind is priceless. We wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter. We will definitely call Jasmine the next time we’re out of town to take care of our Leo.”
“Luella took really good care of my two cats. Her visit notes were very detailed. She took extra care to look for the cats to make sure they were okay. She also went the extra step to clean up their messes. Her communication is excellent and I could tell she has a lot of love and affection for animals. I would book her again.”
About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.
About: Hi y’all! My name is Valeria :) I have 4+ years of dog walking, and pet caretaking. I started a small dog walking business 4 years ago, but only for family and friends. I am currently a veterinary technician, and have 1 dog of my own; Barry! Though he’s a small chihuahua/italian greyhound, he definitely acts like the opposite! I can care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, though I am small. I also am able to administer any medications needed, for senior dogs, adult dogs, and even puppies :). Please feel free to reach out, and thank you so much for reading this ⭐️ I’m currently working part-time, but I also am a student. I am available most weekdays in the afternoon for walks, and always take my clients for longer walks any time on Sundays! :) I do live in an apartment, but my balcony is closed off at all times. The potty area is just next to the stairs leading up to my apartment, so it won’t be a whole hike to go potty :)
“Su has been an excellent cat sitter! She stayed in our apartment with two kitties while my husband and I were on international trip for 10 days. The cats loved her and we could tell they felt so comfortable with Su right away. Su is very reliable and I felt that our cats were in great care. Would 100% recommend her and we hope to continue booking with Su in the future.”
“Shirley took care of our cat pretty well. Our cat is very shy but she manages to play with and pet him. Shirley pays attention closely and communicates very well during the entire process when she visits our cat. She even helped us to pick up the mails, water the plants and handle the garbage. We will definitely use her service again next time when we are out of town. Thank you very much Shirley so that we can travel without worry!”
About: From puppies to adults I have experience with dogs from 5lbs to 80lbs. I will always try my best and be patient. My love for dogs is obvious, most dogs warm up to me fairly easy. I’m that person who seeks out doggie friends at parks, at party’s, etc. I don’t mind shy, energetic, lazy, or yappy dogs. I am a full time ASL interpreting student. I have free time in the evenings, Tuesdays, Thursday's & weekends. I make time for my dog & can make time for yours. I take extra care of others homes, leaving them how they were to start or better. On top of keeping your pets area tidy, your pet is sure to have a great time. Even though their favorite humans may not be around.
About: I have over a year of experience with caring for two adult cats while their owner is away on business trips. Care includes feeding, cooking cleaning litter box, and spending time giving them affection. I also care for my mom’s 3 dogs and 3 cats while she is away on vacation. Care includes walks, feeding, administering medications, and giving lots of love. I will work my schedule and daily routine around your pet care needs. Caring for your pets is my priority, as I am focused on providing your animals the care they need. I will follow any expectations and rules you have regarding your pet’s environment and needs. Whether it’s crates, feeding, walks, medications, or general care, I am focused on providing whatever they need and following your house rules. It is important that you can trust the person coming into your home and caring for your animals.
“This was our first time using Rover to find someone to check in on, feed, and care for our cat, Potato, while we were traveling outside the country for two weeks. We were a little nervous leaving him for that long, but Chenqi (and her husband, Zhaohan) made the entire experience easy and worry-free. Every day, they arrived reliably, fed Potato, cleaned his litter box, refreshed his water, and even spent time playing with him so he wouldn't feel so lonely while we were away. It was clear they genuinely cared about his well-being and weren't just stopping by to complete a checklist. Chenqi and Zhaohan were also excellent communicators. They kept us updated with messages and photos (which were great because we missed seeing Potato more with each passing day), paid close attention to Potato's behavior, and even alerted us when they noticed a small change in his appearance. They also kept us informed about his litter box habits, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Their attentiveness made it clear they were truly looking out for him, not just completing the basics. Since this was the first time we'd ever been away from Potato for this long, we were especially anxious during the first few days of our trip. Chenqi and Zhaohan quickly put those worries to rest. Knowing they have cats of their own made it even more reassuring—they clearly understand cats and treated Potato with the same love and care they would give their own. We wouldn't hesitate to book Chenqi and Zhaohan again. Having such trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable sitters means we can travel in the future knowing Potato is in excellent hands. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters.”
About: I’ve always had my own pets including dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs and fish. I’m experienced with house sitting and dog walking for dogs through out my teen and college years. I took a break post college while working at a shelter for women and children and then attorney represented bodily injury claims. I recently resigned my corporate insurance job and have been pursuing my stained glass small business and my passion for animals. I've been volunteering at the shelter as dog walker and started riding horses again. I'm available currently every day of the week and weekends. I live very close to the Fremont Hub. I can feed, walk, brush, love, and provide any special cares for your fur babies! I don’t mind just hanging out with your pet while you’re away for work or vacation. I'm currently self-employed as an artist and am available any day of the week and weekends and can be available as well on shore notice! I have a fenced in patio and catio for our 4 cats. They are primarily indoors and go outside supervised. In your own home, I will ensure your pet remains safe and indoors. If you have an indoor pet only, they will remain inside at all times. I will treat your pet as if they're my own pet with love and above and beyond care to ensure they feel safe and trust me.
“Hong was great and very accommodating with my kitties! She happily provided the kitties with their own room to separate them from her dogs upon our request, since they’ve never been around dogs before. She also regularly sent updates. I would totally leave my kitties in her care again!”
About: From a young age, my passion for animals has been at the core of who I am. I have dedicated countless hours to nurturing, protecting, and advocating for the well-being of animals, making me a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver. My journey as an animal caregiver began in my childhood. I discovered my love for animals and began caring for my own pets with an unwavering commitment. The trust of my neighbors in my ability to care for their pets also grew, and I gladly accepted the responsibility of looking after their beloved animals. I'm available from Monday-Friday every week. Depending on your schedule I am willing to work out my timings to fit your needs and anything you require I have a screened in patio and windows. My house is secure and has non toxic plants. I have minimal furniture and have my doors properly secured
“Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!”
“Jennifer followed my detailed instructions very well and sent me constant updates with pictures while I went on a long deserved vacation. Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”
“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
My cat already loves her, we can see on the pictures she posts that he keeps following her around and when she came to drop the keys he was also really happy. Thank you for taking such good care of Napoleão, we really appreciate it. We strongly recommend Myat as a sitter!
Shanyu went above and beyond in taking care of our cat, Wooyoo! She kept us updated with detailed messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also made sure Wooyoo was comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of playtime. We could tell he was in great hands, and we really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave him. We would absolutely recommend Shanyu to anyone looking for a caring and thoughtful sitter!
Mina was great with Cloud and Sunshine. She helped on short notice, came by for a meet and greet, and sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay. She's very detail-oriented and checked with me before changing a feeding time. Even Sunshine, who's shy with new people, warmed up to her. I'd happily book her again.
Ayda was amazing with our cat, Jerry. He can be a little shy of strangers but took to her immediately. Ayda sent lots of pictures and detailed updates each day. You can tell that she’s really a cat lover and knows exactly how to take care of them and interact with them. I will definitely have her cat sit for us again!
We were so delighted by the support we got for our two bonded cats! We arrived home to happy cats + a space that was taken better care of than we do ourselves :). We had a longer booking and received lovely reports / photos that were a highlight everyday. I will absolutely book again and recommend to family and friends. Thanks again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Union City is $32 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $42 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 2,275 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
