“Nicole was wonderful during her drop in with our 4 yr old Samoyed. Our pup instantly took to her and Nicole was so kind, patient with her barking, and very attentive to our routine. She is super communicative, punctual, and gave our pup all of her attention. We had peace of mind that our pup was safe and will definitely book Nicole again!”

About: Hi, Thanks for checking out my profile. I have 10 years experienced with cats and have cared for all types of dogs from shy seniors to energetic pups. For dog walks, I go at your dog’s pace whether that’s a long, fun adventure, or a relaxed sniff around, or just a quick potty break. I’m mindful of leash safety, weather, and making sure every walk is enjoyable. I also offer drop-in visits for potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away. Your pet will get my full focus, I co-parent my own pets with family, so there won’t be any other animals in the home, just calm, safe, and plenty of love. My partner has vet office experience, so giving meds or helping shy or sensitive dogs feel comfortable is no problem. I’m minutes from dog parks and have a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Pick-up and drop-off are also available. I’m happy to send photos and videos or check in however you like, so you can relax knowing your furry one is happy. My goal is simple: lots of love, plenty of play, and a safe, stress free stay where your pet feels right at home. I love having pets as part of my day, and walking them on the side is not only a great way to earn extra income, but also something I genuinely enjoy. It keeps me active, brings joy to my routine, and lets me give pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely so their day feels familiar and stress-free.

“We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️”

I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own currently provide pet care part-time and am primarily available during weekday evenings, with more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

About: Hi! I’m Janise. Traveling can bring out the best and the worst in anyone and I’m here to make that trip, whether it’s a quick getaway or a long haul, as easy as possible. Let me lend a hand! 🤚🏾 Between me, my husband, our kids, and our dog Frankie, your pet is walking into a full house of love. We have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play while working together as a family to make sure your fur baby gets the attention and love they deserve. Pet care fits in really well with our routine. I work, but I’m in and out of the house throughout the day, and so is my husband and teenage son, so there’s almost always someone around to walk, play with, and check on your pet. Weekends and holidays we’re all home, so your pet will get even more attention those days For boarding, your dog stays right in our home with the family they’ll have a dog to keep them company, a big backyard to run around in, and plenty of attention from all of us. They’re treated like part of the family, not just a guest. For walks, I keep things consistent with whatever routine your dog is used to same schedule, same pace, whatever works best for them. For pick up and drop off, I make sure the handoff is easy and stress free. I’ll communicate with you the whole time so you always know your pet is in good hands

About: I love caring for and being around animals. I have more than 5 years of experience caring for pets. They’re precious and deserve tender care. I have cared for dogs and cats through check ins, walks, and house sitting. I have mostly watched dogs or cats 3-4 or older. I have watched a few senior dogs and one kitten before, I would do it again. Communication is key for me so as long as you tell me the dogs needs, I will follow them. I am a recent graduate starting a new job. My current availability is spontaneous due to my varying work schedule so I always make sure to keep my availability on my calendar up to date. I would love to come home to your pets, check in on them, and spend time with them when I am not working. Caring for animals in my free time brings me great joy and I feel the animals can sense that from me so we have a good time together. I have pet sit overnight in homes for dogs and cats. I learn quickly and take notes during meet and greets to assure I care for any pet well. I like to ask clients about what they typically do with their pet in a day that their pet will expect outside of feeding and walking time. This might include playing with toys once they come home for 15 minutes or treats after walks. I take pictures throughout my time with the pets to keep the owner(s) updated on what’s happening.

About: I love playing with cats and I have 2 cats myself. And a family cat at my parents that I look after often. It’s difficult for full-time workers to look after their pets so I’m willing to help out in my free time! I work from home so I am able to provide any services. From time-to-time I cat-sit for my friends and people in my building. I work hybrid (1-2 days in office and mainly at home) so I can make myself available any time for pet-sitting. I love walking and feeding dogs, and can make house stops for kitties! I have 2 cats and my family has one cat at home. I was the one to introduce cats to my family and we’ve never looked back. I love to play with my cats everyday, keep them engaged and feed them healthy/prescription food. I keep my home clean and clean the litter box everyday. The service I’d offer is going in person to play with the cat(s), feed them and clean the litter box and take out the litter when the owners are away.

About: Specializing in rabbit boarding for owners who need peace of mind. I am the proud owner of a 6-year-old rabbit with megacolon, so I am highly experienced in recognizing subtle signs of illness, monitoring food intake, and administering medication. Your bunny will be in the hands of someone who understands exactly how to identify and react to emergencies like GI stasis or loss of appetite. In the second photo, it will be the place where your bunny comes home to. I'm currently on a hybrid schedule where I wfh Monday and Friday but the WFH days can be flexible. Other than that, I will be working in the office for three days and will come home at 5:00pm. Before leaving in the morning, I would make sure your bunny is well prepared(fresh hay and fresh water) for the morning. I create a sanctuary for the bunnies in my care. My environment is quiet, strictly bunny-proofed, and temperature-controlled to prevent overheating. I build trust through total transparency: I send daily photo and video updates, monitor their litter box habits closely, and guarantee they will never be forced to interact with other household pets. Your bunny's physical safety and mental peace are my absolute focus.

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.

About: Hi! My name is Natty, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs and cats, including my own pets: a sweet beagle named Harley, a golden retriever named Layla, and three rescued cats named Benito, Minnie, and Oreo, all of whom were adopted as strays and became part of our family. Being surrounded by animals every day has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are when caring for pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like family. I am very responsible, caring, and communicative, and I will always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and make them feel happy and loved! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets throughout the day.

I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for, while keeping owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind.

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Union City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 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.
