About: Hi, I’m Jasmine — a dedicated dog walker and sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and training levels. I share my home with three standard poodles, all agility- and obedience- trained, and I’ve fostered and rehabilitated countless rescued “oodles of poodles.” My background includes whelping litters, supporting dogs in distress, and providing structured, confidence-building care for nervous or high-energy pups. I hold a Fear Free Shelter Certificate of Completion and I’m certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Whether you’re traveling for work or taking a much-needed vacation, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. With three standard poodles, pet care is already part of my everyday routine. I plan dedicated blocks for walks, drop ins and dogs who needs extra care. I provide calm, consistent, and safety-focused care whether a dog is in my home or theirs. I monitor behavior closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and use Fear Free handling to reduce stress.
About: Ive had dogs ever since I was born and have years of experience with my own. Having a belgian malinois puppy is not for the weak! I trained my dogs on my own and have the love and care to take care of yours 😊 I currently work part time so my availability is monday tuesday and friday. Some exceptions can be made for the weekend mornings so ill have plenty of time to care for your pup! I only offer services going to your home so I will treat it like my own! Making sure your pup has everything they need, gets plenty of attention and exercise. As well as cleaning up after myself and the dog if needed leaving the home tidy and their owner feeling at ease! Above and beyond pet care is my moto to insure your baby is in good hands.
“Elena was very diligent, and all our three cats were left happy and fed :) She was communicating all the time, and we were left with complete confidence that our three furballs are in good hands.”
“Yancy was great! She picked up our bernedoodle from School and drove him safely home. Kept us updated and even took the time to meet all of us prior to the visit. Will def use again! Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Divya, a big dog lover and the proud owner of a Husky named Yukon, so I’m very comfortable caring for active and energetic dogs. Huskies need a lot of exercise and attention, which has given me great experience with long walks, playtime, and understanding different dog personalities. Over the years my husband and I also watched many friends’ dogs for free while they were away for a day or a weekend. Because of that, I’ve had experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I live in the East Bay and love taking dogs on long walks around the neighborhood or to nearby parks so they can get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Whether your dog needs a walk, a quick bathroom break, or someone to spend time with them while you’re out of town, I’d be happy to help. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and always try to follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible. Just let me know what your dog likes, their habits, and anything I should be aware of so I can make sure they have a great experience. I’d love to help take care of your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m currently working from home a few times a week and available for weekend boardings. My husband and I usually are home during the week. Weekends we usually spend a lot of time with our husky. He’s super friendly not overly talkative dog and loves all dogs of all sizes. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have flexibility to take in a crate or use my dogs large one. We take our dog out 4-5 times a day depending on the day.
About: Our biggest advantage is that we have no pets of our own, so we can offer exclusive, one-dog-at-a-time care. This is especially suitable for dogs who are anxious, dog-selective, reactive around other animals, or simply prefer human companionship. I’m a working professional, while my mom stays at home and absolutely loves dogs. We care for every guest together, so your dog receives plenty of company, attention, and affection throughout the day. Together, we have experience hosting more than 50 dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. We live in a pet-friendly building with a beautiful dog park downstairs and typically provide morning, lunchtime, after-work, and evening walks based on your dog’s routine and needs. Exclusive single-dog boarding is available for an additional 20%. If this option is not requested, we may host up to two compatible dogs at a time. Please share any behavioral needs or triggers with us in advance so we can provide a safe and comfortable stay. My mom Fang stays at home so she is able to look after your dog during the day and go on as many walks as your dog needs. We do the morning and evening walks together. I have a two-floor studio apartment where your dog can access freely. We have a dog friendly community in the gated neighbourhood with a beautiful dog-park right across the street.
“Amazing and very reliable. She pays a great attention to detail which was greatly appreciated.She took great care of my cat while I was away for a few weeks. I’m super impressed and will be reaching out to have Brianna sit when I’m away again!!!!”
About: I have grown up with my dog since fourth grade. I did the potty training, picking the poop, walks and more. As a college student, I would be homesick primarily because I miss my dog. I will cherish your pet with as much love as I have. I will find so much joy in watching your pet. I am currently on summer break therefore have several free time to spend with your pup. I will devote time and energy to give your dog love! I am available to drive to your home so your pet feels more safe. I will provide your pet with love by walking him/her, feeding and giving all the belly rubs the dog desires.
“Jenna was great with taking care of our kitty while we were on vacation! She sent a pic with each check in, and we came home a happy cat! Jenna was super friendly and communicative and we will definitely use her again!”
“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”
About: Your doggo will be treated like a member of the family and I will be sensitive to whatever your pup needs. I know that dogs each have their own personalities and will accommodate care to fit what makes them comfortable. We watch only one dog at a time so your dog will have our undivided attention. I am a part-time teacher that is home by 11:00am. My husband is home in the morning. The rest of the day is spent in my art studio. In the evening I usually go for a long walk. Most weekends are spent at home relaxing with family. We have a cozy condo that is dog friendly and a sunny deck for warm naps. We live close to Alameda Creek Trail which is where we take frequent walks. I will try and follow the routine that your dog is used to as close as possible. If you're doggie is staying with us overnight, I will send lots of updates and daily pictures. We don't have any other pets or small children so, the home is quiet and calm. I only sit one dog at a time so your dog will receive our undivided attention while visiting.
About: I own a single family house with nice fenced yard and we have a friendly golden retriever dog and he’s name is Kevin. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets, I would love to take care of you pets as my own. I am housewife so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets during his or her stay. Plenty of play time and walking time. I have a fenced yard and a fur baby to stay company with yours, safe living area and parks trails near our house. Quiet and pretty
“I had a great experience with Maria! She was incredibly nice, accommodating, and made sure my dog felt comfortable while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter, and I will certainly use her services again in the future!”
“Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!”
About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring professional, knowledgeable care to every pet I look after. I have worked in veterinary hospitals and pet boarding facilities, where I’ve been trusted to administer medications, monitor health, and respond calmly to pets’ individual needs. Alongside my clinical background, I also bring strong customer service experience—so pet parents can expect clear communication, reliability, and peace of mind every step of the way. Most importantly, I truly love animals and believe great care should be both safe and fun. Whether it’s medication time, playtime, or cuddle time, your pet will be cared for like family (with plenty of tail wags and happy purrs included). I am currently a full-time student. I have the availability to work around your schedule as you need. I am flexible, and willing to work. I care for pets in my home based on the way you would in yours. I desire to create a seamless transition into a new environment for your pet, allowing for max comfortability. I am very flexible with routines, and desire nothing more than to form long lasting connections with my clients and their furry (or scaly) friends!
About: I grew up with over 30 pets - from a schnauzer named Max to triplet goats named Sprinkle, Sparkle, and Vanilla. Currently, I have three dogs and they are everything to me. These experiences have shaped me into the perfect animal caretaker today because I understand the importance of our furry friends and critters - they are family. I know what it's like to have specific care regimes, food portions, exercise requirements, behavioral quirks, and so on. Under my care, you can trust that I will treat your bestie(s) as family and love on them while you're away. Because I’m not working a traditional job right now, pet care is my top priority and fits perfectly into my day. I have complete flexibility, which means I can adapt entirely to your pet's established routine without any rush. Whether your animal needs a mid-day walk to burn off energy or needs a specific check-in time for feedings and medication, I can be there exactly when they need me. I have plenty of time to offer undivided attention, long walks, and lots of love and play during any day of the week. You can rest easy knowing I’m fully available to keep your fur baby safe, happy, and well-cared for! As a proud pet parent to three dogs of my own and previous owner of multiple kinds of other furry friends, I know firsthand how important routines, safety, and individual attention are for animals. Because my home is already a full house with my own pups, I specialize exclusively in caring for pets in your client's home. When visiting your home for walks or check-ins, my priority is keeping your pet's environment safe, secure, and exactly as you left it. I make sure to strictly follow your specific instructions for feedings, treat limits, and house rules. I am highly experienced in managing multiple moving parts, keeping track of doors and gates, and ensuring your pets get plenty of love, playtime, and fresh water. You can trust that I have the patience, alertness, and experience to handle any situation with care and confidence!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs as well as homes for weeks. The most recent one was very fun they had a small older male dog that just loved a lot of attention and would sleep a lot. I have also walked and hiked dogs. I only do school and soccer. I have school two times a week and basically have a practice everyday but other than those activities I’m usually home. I am very caring of my own pets as well as others. I am always making sure a dog always has water and is never too cold or hot. I think it’s important to keep a dog on a routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Union City is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 13,852 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union City. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
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.
