“Candiance was excellent with my reactive dog. It’s clear that she has experience with reactivity and was patient with my dog’s anxiety. She gave lots of details in the summary of each walk and I felt very comfortable entrusting my dog to her!”
About: I've always been the type of person to greet every living thing with a waving hello to a cow, smiling at the turtles at the pond, and asking your pet's how their day has been. Since I've stared on Rover, I've had the pleasure of meeting many pets through repeated housesitting, and going out for walks. Every pet is unique with their own needs and wants. I'm attentive and pay close attention to any scheduled meal plans, checking in on their stool, and make sure everything is clean. If you ever have any concerns, I'm available to answer your questions :) At the moment I'm available at anytime, so any scheduled weekly routines or long periods of housesitting would work with me. If you have any trips coming up please let me know, I'll be happy to work with you. I see your pets as your family, so I care for them very dearly and make sure they have all the love and attention they need. I'm always taking notice if they want a treat, need a walk, or want some social times with other dogs their size. If they simply need company, I'll make sure they have everything they need, and create a nice, warm, relaxing vibe for them where they feel comfortable. Depending on how you like things to be done, I would love to follow your lead with whatever makes you feel comfortable. I want you to know that you and your pet are in good hands.
“Mari was great with my little anxious pup. They went on a 1.5 mile walk that Bella enjoyed thoroughly and I got to see the pics along their walk. Will definitely use Mari again.”
“Alena has been absolutely amazing with my dogs, Mia and Lucas! She’s reliable, incredibly responsive, and always flexible with scheduling. My pups adore her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. She’s become such an important part of their routine, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly! As an added bonus she takes incredible pictures of my dogs as well!”
“Katie has been such a wonderful dog walker! I can tell she enjoys walking Yoko. Yoko also is very shy and is warming up to her quickly - which says so about Katie! Glad to have a reliable person for my Yoko girl 🥰”
“Randi was great - was a pretty last minute booking for me and 1st time using her - she offered to come for a meet and greet - Chassis loved her! She kept me well informed of arrival and walk details and always communicated throughout the process - would definitely recommend!”
“I cannot express how grateful I am to have found such a fantastic dog walker for my fur babies, Chako and Koko. These two can be a handful, especially when it comes to strangers, but Calvin handled the situation with patience and expertise, the dogs warmed up with him quickly. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Hayley was very accomodating with my last minute booking and I'm so happy to have found her to be my dog walker. She kept me thoroughly updated throughout the entire booking. Thank you Hayley!”

We offer one-on-one, personalized care filled with walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love.

“Life saver! Responded quickly to a last minute request and was able to take my little guy for a nice long walk. Friendly and professional. Will request again!”
“Melissa was such a sweetheart to my little girl! Seeing the pictures made me laugh and smile. Super patient with her and understood the feedback regarding Bella. Definitely will book again!”
“Isis is an excellent walker, Tango seems to like her a lot! It has been only twice that she took Tango for walks, but I like the way she treats my fur baby, and how she handles him. She’s very reliable, I would definitely recommend her and of course book her services again”
“I have nothing but great things to say about Jenn and if Goose could talk I’m sure he would too! I was a bit apprehensive about booking a dog walker as only me or my fiancé have ever walked Goose, but his tail was wagging from the second she took the leash and hasn’t stopped! Jenn is great with Goose, an avid puller, and takes her time with him around new situations as he’s still a puppy! She is patient and kind, and gives lots of updates and pictures which I love! I cannot recommend Jenn enough!”
“Mariah stepped in on very short notice after my foot surgery and walked Samson. She was prompt, caring, and did a great job. I’m so grateful and would definitely book her again.”

“Pamela is amazing! I needed someone to walk Lyra while I was away and she went above and beyond! My Mom was taking care of my babies but due to an injury she can't walk Lyra but Pamela stepped in and gave Lyra a lot of exercise and stimulation. Lyra enjoyed it so much that she was waiting for her last night and today; Lyra definitely made a friend! My cats loved her energy too, my Mother tells me that every time she came to pick up Lyra they alsp went to her to say hi! All of my babies approved of her and to me thats the most important part. I recommed Pamela and I know that if I need someone to take care and walk Lyra again I can count on her!”

It has been such a delight working with Mel. I was such at ease knowing I can trust my little fur baby in her hands my vacation was peaceful and magical... ✨️✨️✨️ Mel communicated/shared photos with me at all times making sure I was in peace. I recommend Mel to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter as she is very polite, punctual, loves animals and very professional.
William was incredible and very understanding of my dog's personal needs. I was pleased with his communication and quick responses when it comes to taking care of my pet and addressing any potential health concerns. Overall I can tell my dog enjoyed the walk and being with William. I am pleased with his service and would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Union City on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 28,674 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Union City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Union City.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union City. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
