“Angela is such a kind human being and you can tell how much she loves animals. It can be an uneasy thing letting someone else care for your pet, but with Angela we don't even think twice about it. She walked our dog once a day while we were at work and despite him being a bit of a hyper puppy she handled him with grace. She's super professional and keeps you posted on everything. Love Angela!”
“Nima was hands down 100% amazing! She treated our fluff ball like a king, truly like a member of the family. She adapted to his style and really seemed to understand him. She gave us detailed updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It made us so happy knowing our puppy was being cared for with such respect and love, making the time apart much easier for both him and us.”
About: Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a pre-veterinary student at Montclair State University, and I can't remember a time when animals weren't a part of my life. For the past six years my best friend has been my Border Collie, April. If you know Border Collies, you know they're incredibly smart, full of energy, and always keeping you on your toes. April is family to me, and that bond made me want to share that same level of care with other pets. I know trusting someone with your pup isn't a small decision. That's why I'm always happy to do a meet-and-greet. It gives us both a chance to get to know each other and lets you see how I interact with your pet before making a decision. I take time to learn each pet's personality and specific needs, and I build my sitting entirely around that. I'm a full-time student, so I plan my schedule around both my classes and sitting, allowing me to be dependable for every dog I look after. I keep my calendar updated regularly so you can always see my availability. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable while you're away. You can expect regular updates, lots of photos, and a few smile worthy moments throughout the day. I'll make sure their needs are met and leave your home just as I found it.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, fish, birds, and more—I’m a true animal lover. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they deserve. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day, whether that’s morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care. I understand that every pet has its own unique needs and sensitivities. I prioritize these to ensure comfort and peace of mind for both the pets and their owners.
“Susana was great. Showed up to my house, walked Gopher, left a Rover report card with photos and details about whether Gopher pee'd or pooped on the walk. I got to go out for the night without worrying, and I returned home and Gophie was asleep in her bed, happy as can be. : ) I would recommend Susana to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area. In fact, after getting her updates while I was out, I recommended her to two people I was hanging out with. Thanks, Susana!”
“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!”
“My dog is a very nervous type and can be a challenge at first. Calvin was SUPER PATIENT and attentive with her. He did absolutely everything to make her feel comfortable and move at her pace. I’m so grateful and happy we found him! Looking forward to seeing them progress, bond and become the best of friends!”
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’m available on both weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and playtime! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets at home. 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.
“Vic has been an amazing dog walker this last week. Our puppy Bruce comes back happy and sleepy after his hour long walks with Vic each day. He’s very professional, easy to communicate with, takes great pics and gives a report back each day. Highly recommend him for your pups dog walking or care taking needs!”

About: Hello, I’m Emelin and I’m a very energetic, attentive, and always up for an adventure. Pets are an adventure, you don’t quite always know what to expect for them but whatever comes in the way you must be able to care for them. Similar experience I’ve had was working at a daycare and essentially pets are like your children. They need a lot of care, attention, and entertainment in order to be satisfied which is no problem. When in need I will be readily available to assist you and your pets needs majority of the times. I offer a variety of services in the most efficient and best manner to meet all your needs. I can also be very flexible in order to meet your needs!! I am mostly just studying, I am pretty flexible so I can easily work out a schedule that best fits yours and the pets needs. I have a cat of my own who is very active and requires a lot of attention and have also pet sitted for friend while they have gone away. I am pretty well rounded in the pets needs.
“Leslie walked my dog Miley everyday for a week. He was responsible and came to pick up Miley on time everyday. Leslie also sent multiple photos of his walk everyday and was great with leaving feedback about the walks. Miley loved her walks with Leslie. I would definitely recommend him.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, from dog walking and sitting for friends, family, and coworkers to growing up around dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, small breeds, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. One of my most meaningful experiences was helping care for my family dog, Sam, a West Highland Terrier, into his senior years. He had diabetes that required insulin injections, a special diet, and medications, and later developed cataracts that led to blindness. Caring for Sam made me especially comfortable with senior dogs and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. Now that I’ve moved away from home and my friends (and their dogs!), I’m missing my furry companions and would love to spend my days off giving your pup great walks, lots of love, and plenty of tail wags 🐾 My job provides a good amount of downtime, which gives me plenty of flexibility to play with, walk, and give attention to your pup throughout the day. I’m available on select weekdays and weekends, and I just ask for a little advance notice so I can plan accordingly. I love fitting pet care into my routine and making sure each dog gets the time, care, and energy they deserve 🐾 I care for pets like they’re my own—lots of attention, belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of walks. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will get my full attention. I personally provide all pet care and your pet will always be under my direct supervision. I live in a pet friendly apartment and love going on long walks around the neighborhood, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and one-on-one care. I always follow your routines and instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home

We found Bridget at a time where I was going from working remote to working most of the work week in person. Her energy, expertise and kindness was immediate and helped put me at ease. She is great with our dog and provides such great care. She’s very communicative. I will continue to use her services and would recommend to anyone looking for a great dog walker..
I trust Michaella time and time again for her professionalism and the loving care she’s always given to my two frenchies. What an absolute gem and a pleasure to work with! My pups are always well exercised and delighted for the attention they are offered in Michaella’s care. Thank you so much!!!☺️
John is an absolutely incredible dog walker for Hal over the past year, walking him four days a week. He is exceptionally communicative, responsive, reliable, and accommodating, and we always know Hal isin wonderful hands with him. The clearest testament to John is Hal’s reaction every time he arrives—Hal is beyond excited to see him, and we’re fairly certain John is his favorite person in the world! Their bond is genuinely special and gives us so much confidence and peace of mind. We could not recommend John more highly to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and truly exceptional dog walker. If we could give him more than five stars, we absolutely would!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Union City on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 .

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:
- 88% of walkers 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.
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.
