“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!!”
“Jasmine has taken care of our animals several times and has done a great job each time. I like having consistency when it comes to our animals caregiver and Jasmine is who we use exclusively.”
About: The last 10 years I've been involved in dog sports and training with my own dogs. I've also raised them all from puppies to be well-behaved, loving pets in home I work as a professional cake decorator early in the mornings so the rest of my day is open fully to take care of any pets I have experience with every kind of dog or cat temperament and will always do my best to make sure theyre comfortable and happy. I can easily transfer them with the crates that live in my car if needed for vet visits to trips to the park.
About: **Update I was doing this at my house in Vegas so pics are all of that, but just moved here to Atlanta, I have a large fenced backyard and big cozy house to help make your pets feel at home** I grew up with many dogs and cats at home. Love all animals. Very good with them. I have no current animals of my own, but would love to be friends with yours. Im home most all day except for about an hour or two each day so have lots of space and time for some animal buddies to hang out with. I have a fenced front and a fenced back yard, and a kennel if needed, also have a couple spare bedrooms so if any animals need seperating i can do that also, but I try to let everyone wander as long as they all get along. Have no pets currently, but love all animals. Also great with house sitting, I fix houses for a living, so great at taking care of them too, could even fix an item or two if you were needing something small done while I tend your animals and house.
About: I’ve grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, pigs, fish, reptiles, and birds! I currently work at Wag Atlanta, a daycare/boarding facility where I gain hands on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I get off work at 2 pm Sunday-Thursday so I’m free to care for your pets until 10 pm! I am also free to work Friday, Saturday, and most holidays with select hours. :} During drop-in visits, I can check in on your dog and care for any additional pets in your home as well 💕 That can include fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, arachnids, etc. As long as I’m given clear instructions/routine I’m able to feed, play with, administer medication, and spend quality time with your pets to make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by cleaning up after pets & monitoring their behavior. I will send many pictures and videos to keep you updated as well as communicate any concerns. My goal is to keep your pets happy, stress free, and well cared for while their owners are away!
“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.”
About: "Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and I'm super comfortable giving meds at any time and sticking to strict routines. I've also looked after my mom's (manager's) dog, who needed a super precise schedules I typically work morning shifts but am home most of the time, and my significant other will be available to care for the animals while I’m at work. She has previous experience owning and caring for both dogs and cats, and together we’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and proper care. My house has a big back yard for active dogs it’s fenced up and has shade for them. House is really secure really comfortable no where that any animal can get lost or stuck.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, gaining hands-on experience through personal ownership and now professionally as a Playtime Coordinator at a dog daycare center. I manage playgroups of up to 40 dogs, ensuring safe, engaging interactions while handling walking, bathing, and cleaning duties. My passion for animals drives my commitment to their well-being and happiness With over two years of professional boarding and daycare experience, pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a dedicated student, I am unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays. While my academic schedule can occasionally shift on other days, I keep my calendar updated and communicate proactively so you always know my availability for attentive, reliable care When caring for pets, I treat every dog with the exact same love, attention, and high standard of care I want for my own dogs. Combining my personal values with two years of professional day camp and boarding experience, I closely follow customized feeding and exercise routines, maintain a secure environment, and send regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind
About: Animals have always felt like family to me—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve spent over 5 years looking after dogs of all sizes—from bouncy pups to gentle seniors. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and loved are all part of the care I provide. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or just being their favorite human for the day, I’m here for it. Caring for animals truly brings me joy—I genuinely believe pets are just furry kids, and they deserve all the love. I work from home and set my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet throughout the day. Pet care fits in perfectly! Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I aim to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment that feels familiar. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. In my home, pets have a cozy, calm space with plenty of attention and supervision. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal like family, no matter the location.
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: Being born in a home with pets I developed a passion for animals. Ranging from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and fish. Over a decade ago I started supplementing my income with boarding. I have a flexible schedule convenient for daily walks, and boarding. I also offer socialization trips. Scheduled times are available 24/7 and emergency boarding is available. I have a safe and secured home with a large yard. My neighborhood is great for walks and in distance to local parks and dog parks.
“Shilletha did an amazing job watching all my pets and house. She sent plenty of updates with pictures and spent a lot of time taking care of my babies. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“I have had dogs for over a decade and being an active military family we have been through some sitters to watch our fur babies. Torie by far has been one of the best dog sitters we’ve used. Super respectful to our home and our dogs, I warn you that she may spoil them with love so be careful.”

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.

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.
