“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
“Lanae did amazing with my two pups! I have an older greyhound and young golden retriever who have the exact opposite personalities haha. She did wonderful with both! She kept me updating throughout the day and sent wonderful pictures to let me know my pups were doing well. I am so grateful for the time she spent with them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone Loki g for a wonderful dog/house sitter.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, from playful puppies to senior pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m experienced with different breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. Currently work remotely half of the month, services can be provided on a daily after 2pm. Can visit homes if needed to support fur babies. I’m comfortable crating pets if needed and can accommodate feeding schedules, medications, or special routines. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.

“Mikayla was fantastic! I was immediately put at ease during our meet and greet, and while we were gone she was so communicative and sent great pictures each day. Our big cat Sampson loved her and she even managed to win over our super shy little one, Ann Perkins. We will definitely book with her again.”

“We are so happy with Ariel and grateful. She was very communicative with us. Our dogs were well taken care of. We came home to a clean home and happy days. We will definitely book her again.”

“Sahara was wonderful! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and Sahara made herself available to watch our 3 dogs 5 days before we left for vacation! I always have some anxiety about leaving my pups for vacation, but Sahara made me feel comfortable that they were in great hands. She sent videos and photos daily, and kept me updated on how she was taking care of them. We will gladly use Sahara again and are so grateful for her!”

About: For over 15 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for animals like they’re my own—welcoming them into a warm, peaceful home where they can feel safe, relaxed, and truly loved. My home has plenty of space to stretch out, and a large, secure backyard where pups can wander, play, and go outside whenever they please. Whether your dog loves a little sunshine, a quiet nap, or simply being near someone who cares, there’s always a comfortable spot waiting for them here. I take daily walks, usually a few miles, so your pup will enjoy fresh air, gentle exercise, and the kind of steady routine that keeps them happy and at ease. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s needs, whether they’re full of energy or moving at a slower, more thoughtful pace. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I understand how to create a calm, reassuring environment, especially for older dogs who need a little extra patience, or for pups who may be away from home for the first time. Here, your dog isn’t just being watched—they’re being cared for, comforted, and included. A home full of warmth. A yard made for sun bathing. Care you can feel good about. I'm self-employed and live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood with a community park, several pet-friendly outdoor parks, and a walkable city that allows your fur baby to get the exercise they need. I have all the time to take your pups on potty breaks and keep your cats away from the curtains. I’ve cared for many sweet pets over the years, and I’m probably spending time with one as you read this. Each fur baby leaves feeling loved, content, and just a bit more at home, and it always warms my heart to see them return, tails wagging, ready for more gentle playtime with Milo.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I started out with cats, dogs, turtles and over time grew an undeniable love for dogs. Caring for animals has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. I am currently a part time work from home employee with an extremely flexible schedule. I have the ability to walk and take your pet out as needed. I have a front yard on a non busy subdivision for your pet to play. I work with crate and non crate trained fur babies.

About: I have been working at boarding facilities, vet clinics,rescues and animal shelters since I was 16 and am currently working on getting licensed to be a vet tech. I have done both shelter work and TNR. I have handled countless scared, aggressive, anxious, rambunctious animals as well as disabled and medicated babies so I have plenty experience with handling animals of all kinds! This is my passion; I do my best to provide the best care that I can for your pet! I am trained on animal behavior and medical care. I have plenty experience with elderly animals and pets with health concerns. Anything else you'd like to know I'd be happy to answer any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your baby!

About: As a proud dog and cat mama, I know firsthand that our pets aren’t just animals, they’re family! 💗 With 6 years of pet care experience, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the different personalities, routines, and needs that make every furry friend special. My experience as a pet parent has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding animal body language. From energetic pups who love exploring to independent little personalities who prefer affection on their own terms, I believe every pet deserves individualized attention. I’m especially passionate about making animals feel comfortable, loved, and understood. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, having some playtime, or simply keeping each other company, my goal is to make your pet’s day a little brighter and give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. Expect plenty of love, attention, and adorable updates along the way! 🐾 As a full-time content creator, I have the flexibility to organize much of my schedule independently, which allows me to make dedicated time for pet care throughout the week! I love incorporating walks, outdoor time, and little adventures into my daily routine, so spending that time with a furry companion is a wonderful fit. I’m interested in providing consistent, reliable walking and drop-in visits, with availability that can accommodate both recurring appointments and occasional visits. I believe pets thrive with consistency, so I make it a priority to respect their established schedules and give each visit my full attention. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities! 💗 As a pet parent, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. During walks, I prioritize secure leashes and harnesses, awareness of our surroundings, and routes appropriate for your dog’s energy level and needs. I avoid unfamiliar animal interactions unless specifically discussed and approved. For drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, playtime, potty breaks, and household routines. I also respect your home, double-check doors and gates, and make sure your pet is settled before leaving. I believe communication builds trust, so you can expect thoughtful updates and photos throughout our time together. Every animal is different, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe, loved, and understood! 🐾

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Aniya was absolutely wonderful with Diamond! 🐾💗 She arrived on time, was very communicative throughout the day, and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She came to our home to house sit and took such great care of Diamond. She made sure Diamond got her walk and even captured some sweet photos along the way. What stood out most to us was how loving and affectionate Aniya was with Diamond. She made her feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We had a great experience with Aniya and would absolutely trust her with Diamond again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive sitter! 🐶❤️

The average cost of House Sitting in Union City is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $73 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Union City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Union City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Union City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
