“We used Lihuan's service for the first time via Rover so there was the usual stranger anxiety. However, we were able to do a video call with her in advance which put us at ease. She was super responsive via the app before, during and after which was so critically important to us! We got a lot of timely pics and videos from her, easily available updates and alignment on feeding, bio-breaks and walking events through the app and extremely quick drop off and pickup timings. My dog came back looking normal and happy like we left her. I would use her service again and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Janine and her family were so welcoming and their home and yards are safe and awesome! I needed to board my Aussie a couple of days before needing to leave for a family emergency. Janine responded quickly and we scheduled a time for me and my dog to visit to make sure it’d be a good fit. She and her teen kids each took a dog and me and my dog for a walk around the block, then they opened up their home to me to show me how my dog would live when boarded. They showed me the white board where they write down the dogs diets and schedule and sent me updates and photos. I really appreciated that. It was a lot of effort on their part! My dog has a torn ACL and safety was a priority. Chase came back tired, happy, and healthy. I know he had a lot of fun. Thanks Janine, until next time!”
“Lily has been an absolutely awesome to work with. She was very caring and loving with our dog. She sends us pictures at least twice or thrice a day keeping us updated about how our dog is doing which kept us informed and at peace. Our dog loves to spend time with lily and her family and we have seen this first hand when our dog gets super excited when we enter their street. I am more than happy with Lilly’s service and recommend her for sure.”
“Marina and Anwar took excellent care of our pup. We received updates as requested and feel confident that our Frenchie had a great time! Will definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend!”
“Pam took great care of my puppy. She sent daily pictures & videos, taught him some new tricks, bathed him, & ensured he was cared for. I left my puppy with her for 1 week & he came back in tip top shape. Thanks so much Pam for all that you did to care for my puppy. I def will be booking again.”
“Jianli & Wiena took very good care of our dog. They were very caring and took care of all her needs and send us lots of photos and videos with regular updates. We highly recommend him & will definitely use them again.”
“Thank you for a stress-free stay again! Nancy sends us photos and lets us know how our pup settles in the first few days and then periodically throughout the stay (this last stay was 2 weeks). Updates and excellent communication! Our pup loves going to their house and runs up the stairs and comes home happy and tired.”
“Nathasa was great! First time booking her for our little guy. She picked up and dropped off. Kept us up to date as well. Our little guy sure did enjoy Nathasa’s company. Definitely will rebook for future needs. Thank you!”
“Ethan and Cecilia were fantastic with Cookie! Cookie stayed for two nights and came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, with regular updates, pictures, and videos. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such good hands. They were able to take her on long walks that she so dearly loves! We would highly recommend Ethan and Cecilia to anyone looking for caring and reliable sitters!”
“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!”
“Divya and Shane were amazing with Baxter and their dog Yukon is a really sweet dog too. Divya and Shane were flexible and accommodating with the pickup and dropoff times. They took good care of Baxter, enquired about his schedule and made sure Baxter is comfortable in their home. Yukon tried to get Baxter to play but Baxter, being older now, did not want to play and Yukon was content with being chill and giving him space. Baxter usually is not comfortable in other’s homes but he had a good time with Divya and Shane. Would highly recommend Divya and Shane and will be definitely be leaving Baxter with them again.”
“My dog seems very excited to go to Marsha's house. I love the photos she sends and she is really speedy with all communications. I feel very secure leaving my little guy in her care.”
“Sriram & family are the best dog sitters we have hired on Rover. Got daily pictures of our dog with smiles on our dogs face. Our dog Dou Dou was completely relaxed and felt at home with Sriram. Highly recommend this dog sitter.”
“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!”
“Amazing, coordinated, educated, and detailed in her updates! Continued my girls training on her reactivity and kept my mind at ease while I was away. Will be recommending and using her from now on!”
“Lavanya is super caring for our dog Cho Cho. She sent us photos and videos every day. Cho Cho looked really happy at her house playing with her dog Coco. Overall 5 star experience.”
“Our 4 kitten have stayed at Mary’s place a few times, as usual she pay lots of care to them, not only feeding but also spent good amount of time with them. From the daily photos and videos we can see they basically treated it as home 🤣 Having Mary taking care of our cats was the only way we could enjoy our trips.”
About: Five years as a devoted dog mom, and pet care is my full-time focus — I'm home all day, so your dog gets constant company, never a long stretch alone. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, from tiny lap dogs to big breeds, and I love learning each dog's personality, favorite games, and what makes them feel at home. I'm comfortable with the whole range: puppy housebreaking and basic training, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, strict medication schedules, and anxious or shy dogs who need extra patience. My home has fully fenced front and back yards for safe outdoor play, and I keep every dog on their normal feeding, potty, and walk schedule. I offer flexible early drop-off and late pickup, and you'll get photo and video updates throughout the stay. Pet care is my full-time focus — I'm a stay-at-home sitter, home all day every day. My whole routine revolves around the dogs: morning potty breaks and breakfast, yard playtime, midday walks, afternoon cuddles, and dinner on each dog's usual schedule. I'm flexible with early drop-offs and late pickups, including weekends. Dogs are rarely alone here — never more than an hour or two for a quick errand. My home has fully fenced front and back yards for safe outdoor play, and I keep every dog on their normal feeding, potty, and walk routine, following medication instructions exactly as written. Before our first booking, I always do a Meet & Greet so we can go over routines and make sure your dog is comfortable. I send photo and video updates throughout every stay.
“We had a great experience with Pratima.. She is reliable & attentive. From the start, communication was smooth and reassuring— Pratima kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our mind at ease while we were away. Both my dogs were happy, well-cared for, and comfortable. It’s clear Pratima took the time to understand our dogs routine and needs. We definitely recommend Pratima to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’ll be happy to book with them again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
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! ❤️🐾
We couldn’t have asked for better care for Roxy and Koda! Communication was always clear, and we were kept in the loop the entire time about how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were incredibly kind, loving, and took such great care of our pups. Roxy and Koda were so comfortable and happy that they didn’t even want to leave! We would absolutely trust them with our dogs again.
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.
Pam took great care of my puppy. She sent daily pictures & videos, taught him some new tricks, bathed him, & ensured he was cared for. I left my puppy with her for 1 week & he came back in tip top shape. Thanks so much Pam for all that you did to care for my puppy. I def will be booking again.
Boarding our dog with Pallavi was a great experience. She took excellent care of him and was very attentive to his needs. Her communication was clear and consistent, with regular updates that made the whole process stress-free for us. We’d happily recommend her and would board with her again.
Kseniia and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Lynn, over a 4 night stay! This was my first time leaving Lynn with a sitter, so I was a little nervous, but Kseniia made the whole experience incredibly easy and reassuring. She sent me regular photos, videos, and updates, and it was clear that Lynn was happy, relaxed, and very well cared for! I felt completely comfortable knowing Lynn was in such good hands and in such a lovely home. When I came to pick Lynn up, she was lying on her back getting belly rubs! I would absolutely book with Kseniia again and highly recommend her!
We had such a great experience with Sriram watching Yogi! He sent us so many pictures and regular updates about how Yogi was doing, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. Yogi has a sensitive stomach and very strict feeding instructions, and Sriram reassured me that he fully understood and would follow everything carefully. That gave me so much relief and allowed me to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Yogi was happy and well cared for, and we would absolutely book with Sriram again!

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.
92% 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, we recommend 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
