“I can't say enough good things about Mia and Benny. They treated my dog like one of their own, providing daily exercise, perfect socialization, and constant affection. The frequent daily pictures showed just how much fun she was having! It’s such a relief to find sitters so capable and caring. We’ve found our go-to boarders for the next trip!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Weiran was a great sitter, she made my cat Lychee feel super safe despite it being her first time away from home. She sent lots of pictures and videos while i was on vacation :)”
“Once again, Lavanya took great care of our dog, and she kept us updated with photos. She was also very accommodating of our change in plans, and was very kind, even though it was a lot of extra effort for her.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Charlie had a blast with Selina and was well cared for. He really loves her and during pick up, he wanted to go back into her place. He had plenty of exercise and play time, which is important to his well being. Thank you Selina.”
“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.”
“Mary was amazing with my cat! I had to change my drop-off time last minute and ended up picking my cat up a day early. I told her to keep the payment for the full stay, but she was sweet enough to refund me. Plus, her little son played with my cat the whole time, so my kitty got plenty of love. Super honest, flexible, and reliable—will definitely be using her again!”
“Clara was the perfect dog sitter for Jake. After relying on the same sitter for the past 8 years, we were reluctant to look for a new sitter once our regular dogsitter discontinued her service because our dog is such a creature of habit. But we needn't have had concerns. Clara was extremely attentive to Jake's needs, followed our instructions to a "T" and provided a wonderful environment to explore in her lovely backyard while her own dog, Diego, proved to be a sweet companion for Jake to play with. Clara was extremely commuicative and sent us photos and videos several times a day so we could be reassured that he was being well cared for. In short, we give Clara our highest recommendation and look forward to her becoming our regular dog sitter.”
“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“Pratima is an awesome sitter! My two Labradors stayed with her over the long weekend and I got daily updates with pictures. She is very caring and communication was very easy with her. My pups had a great time and we will be back soon. I highly recommend Pratima for anyone looking for a friendly and caring sitter :) :)”
“Jessica was a great host for my dog Sophie. Very communicative throughout the stay sending videos and photos along with a summary every day. It made me feel assured that Sophie was safe and having a great time while in Jessica's care.”
“He was so communicative and caring about my dog. He sent me pictures with both what she was doing and how she was doing. He told me about the walks she went on and how she was getting along with his two dogs. It was a perfect situation and I intend to book them again if I need to go away. Fantastic.”
About: I have taken care of my cat for 5 years, my dog in India for 4 years and my friend’s dogs for few week. I adore pets and absolutely love taking care of them. I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I have a dog in my home country and I stayed with the dog for a few years. Now I am in the US and I am with my cat. My dog even came to the US, so I stayed with my dog then as well. All my friends have dogs and they sometimes bring their dogs to my home and I dog-sit them as well. So I have experience of both worlds, and the good part is my cat is quite comfortable with dogs and other pets because he has been with other pets from the day he was born. I am an expert in giving love and I adore them totally. I have been with different kinds of dogs and cats as well, so I know when they are a bit grumpy, I know what they need at a particular time. I am available on Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday whole day. Tue, wed, Thursday I usually go to office and come around 7:00 pm so available after 7:00 pm Longer stays are possible depending on my availability — just ask! I have a fenced backyard and one calm sweet cat. I have a safe society for dog walking. I have two floors so can keep my cats and other pet separately if needed

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
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.
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!

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.
