About: Experience walking and caring for dogs and cats. I have fostered several animals throughout college and have trained dogs of all ages. My own pet is AKC Caine Good Citizen Certified and I have a research background in dog Vet Care and can make adjustments to care based on breed and any current health issues. I make time to take my own pet out on adventures and I'd love to be able to take yours out for some fun as well! I'm vigilant of potential dangers with care for a pet outside of their home. I take notice of areas/ other pets to avoid and will physically step in to protect your pets boundaries.

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I enjoy spending time playing with pets, giving them plenty of attention, feeding them, going on walks, and making sure they are happy and comfortable while their family is away. I will care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available during the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work with each pet parent’s schedule and their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

Rachel was absolutely wonderful taking care of our girl (cat) over the holidays. Her check-ins were so thorough with lots of pictures, and she even went above and beyond what we’d asked for by checking and replenishing her autofeeder (which we’d thought we’d filled enough *face palm*) and cleaning up our cat’s pukey mess. Would highly recommend and will be reaching out again in the future!

About: I love spending time with both dogs and cats and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, giving them plenty of exercise, and taking them to the park when appropriate. I also offer drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and lots of attention. I’m a cat lover too and enjoy caring for cats while keeping their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. If your pet is farther from my home or needs more company, I’m also available for house sitting and can stay in your home with them. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I’m available for drop-in visits and other pet care services during the week and on weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work with each owner’s schedule and their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all feeding, litter box, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner. I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

She is absolutely the best! She was supposed to drop in for 30 minutes, but she spent several hours and even took my dog to the dog park because she knew I’m overwhelmed with the bar exam and moving🥹🥹🥹 I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her.

Mari was great to work with. It was my first time using Rover and I'm happy that I chose Mari. She asked me a lot of great qualifying questions about my pet and how I'd like the service to be handled. And then she followed through with all of the directions I provided. My cat Randy warmed up to Mari right away, which I could tell from the photos and video she sent to me once the stay started. I would highly recommend Mari for any of your pet sitting needs and I'll rely on her again when needed. Thanks Mari!

Murray was an excellent cat sitter. He fed and played with my cats every day and even got my most timid cat to come out of hiding. He also took care of some minor things when I asked him like a camera the cats knocked over. I am really glad I hired Murray and Ana to take care of my cats while I was gone - and my cats were glad as well.

Jade & Scotty have been so wonderful. I was so nervous going online and finding someone but knew I had to with my busy schedule. Jade & Scotty made time to come meet Us prior to us booking our first visit. I knew that day this was going to be a great fit. We have had several visits, my dogs love them and they are always sure to give me updates and pictures! When I get home my dogs are calm and happy after their visit and I feel good knowing they are not alone all day!

About: Well to begin with, I have experience walking numerous dogs since the day I could remember. My love for animals in general is immense, contributing to the positive well being of animals is my passion and being able to focus that into a career is something I would have never imagined simply by making sure dogs go when they need too. It all began by simply watching over my own dog, and then it lead me into walking my neighbors dogs and eventually I took it upon myself to walk others in the neighborhood. The first dogs I took care of was a chunky miniature pincher and a 70 lbs pit bull terrier, I am not prejudice towards animals specifically dogs since they are in my field and I have years of experience with different breeds of all sorts. As I am a new LLC on the rise I am in the midst of obtaining my ARC certifications for the health and general knowledge of animals, considering on a professional level I take this accordingly and not enough dog walking companies supply this for their walkers. Being trustworthy, reliable, respectable, caring and cautious are few of the many traits I carry and endorse for my business in which I believe are critical in the dog walking business. Every dog is unique, just like a person I would not want to disrespect their space and have them catch an unapproachable vibe from me. I like to make sure I build comfort and confidence with the dogs I will work with, considering not many may be comfortable with letting someone unfamiliar walk them, my specialty. Walking dogs for me personally is never something I like to do in a haste, I enjoy in executing my job correctly and efficiently. I make sure every walk is special at times they come back home with a better attitude than the dogs left in. My main goal for the dogs are exercise, safety, fun and making sure they are able to do their business enough. I am a full time dog walker and lifetime animal lover so meeting accommodations for him or her is never a problem. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile hopefully I gain the opportunity and trust of being able to walk your furry child! Taking care of pups is my daily life. I have my own pups so it comes to me naturally. To do what needs to be done to make sure our pups are well taken care of! I do this full time! First of all, i make sure the pup is as comfortable as possible make them feel as if the parents are home. I walked them as many times as possible, keep all their needs up to date & give lots of love.

We truly could not recommend Aurelie more highly. This was the first time we had ever left our two cats, Max and Mira, in someone else’s care, so naturally we were a little nervous — and we also needed someone on fairly short notice over Labor Day weekend. We feel incredibly fortunate that we found Aurelie. From the very beginning, she was exceptionally reliable, communicative, proactive, thoughtful and kind. Most importantly, it was immediately obvious that she genuinely loves and understands cats. Max and Mira warmed up to her faster than we have ever seen them warm up to someone new, which told us everything. Aurelie sent wonderful photos, videos and updates every day. They honestly became something we looked forward to while we were away and gave us such peace of mind knowing that Max and Mira were happy, comfortable and being genuinely cared for. She went above and beyond what we expected from a pet sitter, and by the end of the trip we felt like we had found someone we could completely trust with two very important members of our family. I would recommend Aurelie without hesitation to anyone looking for someone exceptional to care for their pets. We will absolutely ask her to watch Max and Mira again — and again and again. ❤️

Jess is absolutely phenomenal. She’s cared for my Des quite consistently for about a year now, as I travel a lot, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She’s communicative, timely, very attuned to my boy, and easily manages his medical needs. She clearly adores him, and he’s clearly quite bonded to her as well. In addition, Jess is incredibly respectful of my space and always leaves it cleaner and tidier than she’s found it. I cannot recommend her enough!

Sophia is truly amazing - can’t emphasize this enough! She took the most wonderful care of my cat while I was away on a long trip, and kept me posted the entire time with extremely thorough updates and photos; reading her Rover cards was the highlight of my day. I could tell my cat fell in love with Sophia immediately, which really speaks to the love and care Sophia was giving her. Sophia went above and beyond to make sure my cat was doing well while I was gone, was incredibly communicative, and is just a really wonderful person - I absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of pet care.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Union City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Union City on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 12,733 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union City. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
