“Mari was taking care of our dog for over a months. He generally takes some time to get used to new people and Mari was very patient and kind with him and won his trust. Mari was also great communicating any concerns to us and keeping us informed. She also helped me to get used to Rover. I will be happy to leave our dog with Mari in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Amanda as our pet sitter! She took excellent care of our cat while we were on vacation, showing genuine care and attention. When we returned, our furry baby was clearly well looked after. Amanda’s communication was great, and we felt confident leaving our pet in her hands. Highly recommend her services!”
“Celine has been a very communicative and proactive dog sitter for my pit bull, Diamond. She sends lots of photos and makes sure to give my pup lots of love. She stayed in my home and did great, even bringing in some packages that had arrived. Will book again!”
“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my cat Himi while I was away for a week. In addition to taking care of the cat, she responds to messages promptly and left the house neat and tidy. I would trust her with my cat again any time!”
“Susanna is an incredible sitter and was able to come in on time to check on our cat, Mila. She is very detailed with her visits and ensures Mila is a happy camper while we’re away. Thank you!!”
“Miriam is absolutely fantastic! She took such good care of our kitty Dustin, we felt relieved knowing he was in great hands while we were away. She was really warm and friendly, super on top of everything and communicative, and sent us such cute pictures of our little guy each day we were away. So thankful to her for all of her amazing support!”
“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.”
“Yushan took such wonderful care of our four cats. Very communicative, even got our grumpy paper tiger cat to take pets and churu when he normally hides and was very respectful of our space. Wonderful service!”
“Jack was fantastic! Visited our cats twice per day every day right on time and left nice notes each time. Remembered to give them their dental medicine every other day as well and after his last visit he kept our key fob until we got home just in case our flight got delayed or canceled and we needed him to visit them again. I hadn’t even thought of that possibility myself so I appreciate him thinking about that!”
“Val was great!! Communicative and reliable — a true cat lover! We appreciated that she stayed to play with the cats for a while and didn’t just feed them and leave. ”
“Dajsa was a fantastic sitter for our cat, Mindy, during our vacation. She provided clear and constant communication, sharing multiple pictures per drop-in visit. Will absolutely choose to work with her again in the future.”
“Nastasia watched my two cats for the second time and went above and beyond with her attentiveness and communication. Highly recommend nastasia for cat care!”
“Julia was extremely quick, responsive and understanding to a last-minute drop in request I had sent out on Christmas Eve. When I was worried I would have no one to watch my Nori over the holidays, Julia came through and was very transparent about what she needed in order to gjve Nori the best care! She was super flexible and sent frequent pictures and updates and let me know whenever she would need some flexibility on her end, which I was happy to accommodate! I will definitely be considering her in the future if I ever need a cat sitter again! :)”

About: I've had pets my entire life, from pigs to birds to dogs and cats. I've had so much help over my pet owning life, that is is a pleasure to help others with theirs! My schedule is wildly flexible - I wake up early and am happy to travel wherever I'm needed! I also walk about 12 miles a day, so to have purpose to those walk is welcome! I live in a very safe building near Central Park, and I currently have no pets, so yours will have all the attention! I also love exploring new neighborhoods and feel very comfortable adapting to the needs of your individual household.
“Genesis was the best pet sitter! She took great care of my cats, her communication was clearly and timely, and I will be recommending her to anyone looking for pet care.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our cat Messi was in the best hands while we were away. Every day we got thoughtful, detailed updates — not just about his food, water, and litter being cared for, but also about how much love and attention he was getting. The apartment was kept spotless, which is no small feat with cat litter around, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Messi was being truly looked after, not just checked on. It’s rare to find someone this reliable, caring, and thorough — you can really tell they love what they do. We’d recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and will definitely book again!”
“Ambroja is a fantastic sitter - she jumped in on short notice to care for my cat Birdie when I had to travel for work. She is communicative and goes above and beyond in her sitting duties. I knew Birdie was in good hands with her!”

Gabriela was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my two dogs and cat, and they all loved her. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and clearly spent quality time with them—playing with them, giving them lots of attention, and making sure the dogs got their walks. I especially appreciated the pictures she sent throughout, which gave me such peace of mind knowing everyone was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely use Gabriela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!
Jonathan was punctual and arrived exactly on time. Whenever he needed to adjust the schedule, he communicated proactively and made sure we found a solution that worked for both of us. Most importantly, he took great care of our puppy. Nori warmed up to him immediately, and they got along very well. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well-being and made sure she was comfortable and well looked after while we were away. Thank you, Jonathan!
Devin is SO incredibly kind and gave our dog Hampton so much love and care during her visit with him. 🩷 She was so attentive to our dog’s needs, sent us photo updates, and really put her heart into looking after him, which is all a dog owner could ever wish for! She has such a kind and gentle nature and we loved having her watch Hampton for us. So grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking again soon! ✨
Ryota has been walking my 18-year-old dog, Bambi, every weekday for the past month, and I can’t recommend him enough. Bambi has trouble walking and has several health issues, and he has always been so patient, kind, and attentive with her. He’s consistently punctual, reliable, and flexible when I need to adjust the schedule. Knowing Bambi is in such good hands gives me so much peace of mind and has made a huge difference in my day-to-day life. I’m incredibly grateful for all the care he gives her.
Rachel was an amazing pet sitter for my babies! When I arrived home, everything was spotless, clean, and well taken care of. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly received lots of love and attention while I was away. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Itati and Ronald were amazing!!!! Holly was well taken care of by them!! They helped me tremendously with my anxiety of leaving her alone for the first time. They kept me up to date on her and sent me Pics! Loved that they let me know about her potty breaks and if she ate or didn’t. Thank you so much!! We will be booking again!!
Huge shoutout to Loretto for taking such amazing care of Amara! He was so attentive, dependable, and awesome with communication while I was away. Amara absolutely loved him, and it gave me total peace of mind seeing how well cared for she was. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone!
Katia was fantastic with our cat and dog. Shes friendly, followed our instructions, and was always super prompt and communicative - even helping us bring in a package. It’s so nice to find a reliable sitter in our new neighborhood. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her - thanks again Katia ☺️
Tessa has been wonderful 😊 Arya took well to her rather quickly which was impressive. She's always respectful and provides me a full detailed report. Of course, photos too! With my new commute and insane schedule, she has been so accommodating and a gem. Arya and I are lucky to have her 🐕🙃

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Union City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 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.

- 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.
