“We cannot recommend Guang and Benny enough! This was our first time boarding Maggie with them, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Maggie is very shy around strangers and other dogs — especially ones who get in her face — so we were a little nervous. But Guang, Benny, and their sweet dog Pizza were incredibly patient and respectful of her boundaries from the very start. They never rushed her or forced interaction, and just let her come to them on her own terms. The results spoke for themselves: by day two, Maggie was already comfortable enough to sit next to them and even let them pet her on the head — which is huge for her, as she's very head-shy and rarely warms up to new people that quickly. Pizza deserves a special shoutout too for being such a gentle, considerate dog. She always gave Maggie her space and waited for Maggie to initiate play. Truly impressive! Guang and Benny also kept us updated with tons of photos and videos throughout the stay. Getting to watch Maggie's progress in real time made us feel so at ease. Maggie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We are so grateful for the care and thoughtfulness they showed our girl. We'll absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Pamela took such good care of my furbaby. Constant updates on how she was doing and made sure to upkeep routine and care. Definitely kept my furbaby busy and entertained throughout her stay. Pamela was also accommodating when updating her of my situation. Definitely recommend her for pet sitting”

“I am lucky to have Lily taking care of my dog, Apollo for 24 days during my vacation. Lily gave me daily picture update of Apollo. My family was happy to see him even though we were thousand miles away. Lily also played balls with Apollo and playing ball is Apollo's favorite toy. I highly recommend Lily taking care of your dog.”
“Lavanya is very good with dogs, and took great care of our dog. She shared multiple updates with photos and videos throughout the stay. She far exceeded our expectations, moving her schedule around to make sure that our dog got enough playtime with her dog. Would certainly go back.”
“My cat is a bit anxious with strangers and doesn’t do well in new environments, but he had a great time with Weiran! She updated me frequently with photos and videos, which was very nice! My cat was sleeping with her and showing his belly and everything haha. Will be returning.”
“Marsha sent me lots of photos and it looked like Pluto was having a great time. She communicated well with me and I felt comfortable leaving my little four legged buddy with her. I appreciated that Marsha was flexible when I had a last minute change to my drop off day/time. I would not hesitate to leave Pluto with her in the future!”
“Su is very sweet, Winston was clearly comfortable immediately. Very communicative, lots of photos, and flexible on pickup and dropoff. Will definitely rebook next time we need at home stay for our pup!”
“Melody took great care of Jarvis again! She stayed on top of his food and medication just like last time and treated him like her own. I really appreciate how detailed she is. She kept notes on his potty breaks, meals, meds, and even sleep, which gives me so much peace of mind especially with his medical needs. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly cares a lot. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“I would like to express my family's gratitude to Gianina for taking an extraordinary care for Lola! She was very attentive to Lola's routine and needs and embraced Lola as she was part of her family! My dates changed and Gianina was extremely supportive and generous with my new dates and this was big relief for our family as we knew that Lola is being loved by Gianina and her family. We highly recommend her for being professional, caring and loving, flexible and attentive to Lola's needs. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping my family during our Christmas break!”
“Cindy was great at accommodating drop-off and pick-up times, and was very communicative throughout Mochi and Mimi's stay with her. She was proactive at sending pictures and videos of the dogs, and provided regular updates on their behavior. Her constant communication was very reassuring and gave me peace of mind while I was on my trip. I highly recommend her!”

“Chloe provided exceptional boarding services for Ponzu. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout. Ponzu seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return. I highly recommend Chloe for any pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 6. I love every minutes spent with them. I guess that something written in gene. I am currently studying at home all day long. I do have two small kids but they both go to school at daytime. They both love animals like me do. I have a medium-sized lab and a chihuahua. Both of them are neutered and super friendly to other dogs. They are always expecting new friends to visit them.
“Being new to California, one of the hardest things for me has been finding someone I truly trust with my dog, Cooper. I usually take him everywhere with me, but recently that hasn’t always been possible. I’m so grateful to have found Hyangja! She took the time to meet with Cooper and me before my trip to make sure we were all comfortable and that it would be a good fit. We spent time getting to know each other while Cooper happily roamed around and made himself at home. While I was away, she sent me updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing that Cooper was comfortable, happy, and having a great time. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him. I think Cooper and I have officially found our perfect sitter, and that makes this dog mom very happy! Highly recommend!”

Pamela took amazing care of Aster for three weeks while we were abroad. We were a little nervous about being away for so long, but she kept us at ease with regular messages and photos. Aster is a picky eater, and Pamela made sure he had food he liked and was eating well. He also got lots of playtime with the other dogs and seemed very happy with her. Pamela is caring, reliable, and a great dog sitter. We’d absolutely book with her again!
I can't thank you enough for taking such great care of my dog! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while I was away. You were so consistent with his food schedule and walks, and I really appreciated the regular photo updates—it was great to see him having such a good time. He came back happy and tired, which is the best sign. I'll definitely be reaching out next time I need a sitter!
We had a wonderful experience with Miriam and her family! The entire family took great care of our dog and treated him like one of their own. Miriam was extremely responsive, responsible, and attentive throughout the stay, keeping us updated and making sure our dog was comfortable and happy. It was such a relief to know our dog was in such caring and trustworthy . We would happily recommend Miriam to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Melody was amazing! This was my first Rover experience since my dog is pretty anxious and can be reactive. Melody gave me updates multiple times in the day, with photos of my dog having such a great time; she took care of Meela very well and had all the space for Meela to roam around. Highly recommend booking her!
Judi was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was amazing throughout Mili’s entire stay. She kept me updated regularly and sent lots of pictures and videos, which was so thoughtful and really gave me peace of mind knowing Mili was happy and having a great time. Mili clearly felt comfortable with Judi and enjoyed her stay so much. I’m very grateful for the care and attention Judi gave her. Thank you so much, Judi! I would happily book with you again! ❤️
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our Labrador. Janine and her family were absolutely wonderful—kind, caring, attentive, and treated him like he was part of their own family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands while we were away. Janine and her family are truly angels, and we are incredibly grateful for the love and care they gave our Labrador. We would trust them with him again without hesitation. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾
Marina and Anwar took great care of our dog, Eva. We had to go away for a few days and our regular dog care providers (our adult children) were not available. So, this was the first time in her 7 1/2 years she was not with her human family. Marina and Anwar sent daily photo updates which gave us total peace of mind and Eva was happy when we picked her up. We would gladly book Marina and Anwar again!"
I boarded Sheru with Lavanya for over two weeks, and she took absolutely wonderful care of him! She was incredibly responsive and kept us reassured with regular communication. We received photos, videos, and updates twice a day, which we truly appreciated. Her pet, Coco, was the perfect companion for Sheru. Lavanya made sure he was happy, comfortable, and entertained, and he thoroughly enjoyed his playtime with Coco. I would recommend Lavanya to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. I’d definitely board Sheru with her again!
Boarded my 7 year old golden retriever with Darshana for few days. She really took good care of him and followed all the instructions I had for him. Very happy with the service provided. She really made him feel home. Regular updates with pictures and videos assured me that he's having good time with her
Naveen was wonderful with our Labradoodle, Ginger. This was our very first time leaving him with anyone, so we booked a short overnight as a trial run before a longer trip — and Naveen made it easy. He kept us updated, was patient with Ginger's crate routine, and clearly gave him plenty of attention. Ginger came home happy and relaxed, which told us everything we needed to know. We've already booked him again and would recommend him to anyone, especially first-time nervous dog parents.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Union City is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $86 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 6,998 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Union City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Union City home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Union City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Union City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
