“Josie is great. She is very communicative and responsive. I had sent out the Rover request and within 30 seconds we were already making arrangements. I highly recommend.”
“Angela has been walking our dog Murphy on days we have to go into the office ever since we moved to the area in June. She is very kind and cares about our pup! I love the pictures I get from their walks and detailed updates about how Murphy did. It gives us peace of mind knowing he is in good hands with Angela.”
About: I am particularly gentle and careful with pets and have had plenty of experience learning how to handle dogs that are not mine (in terms of where or where not to touch them or look at them). Dogs tend to gravitate towards me easily because of how I approach them. I just moved here, so I am only doing odd jobs and self-employed work at the moment. My schedule is quite open and flexible as a result. I do not have the means nor permission to care for a pet in my own home but would be happy to accommodate them in yours with whatever tools and rules you prefer.
“Emelin was fantastic at taking care of Ozzy. She was easy to communicate with and always responded fast. Also, she was very flexible with our requests and consistently delivered high quality services.”
About: While I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for dogs and other pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I've helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets attention while their owners were away. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm dependable, patient, and excited to provide loving care for your furry family members. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays and have the flexibility to dedicate my time to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and pet sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a clean environment. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to build trust and help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give pet owners peace of mind.
“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!”

“Madison is the best walker ever! She is incredibly responsive, very communicative, and goes the extra mile to ensure my dog is comfortable at home. I felt confident and at ease that my dog was being taken care of by a responsible and affectionate person. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. My grandmother had a special gift for rescuing stray dogs and cats, giving them the love and care they needed, and finding them forever homes. Growing up with her, there were times when our home was filled with 8 dogs and 5 cats, which gave me a lifelong love and deep appreciation for animals. I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic medications, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and know how important it is to recognize signs of stress or illness. I treat every pet as an individual and strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel happy and cared for. I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I approach every animal with patience, kindness, and compassion. I have an open schedule. So I am open to most requests, just need a few days notice before accepting your beloved pet in my home. I have a fenced house. There are no other dogs in the block so there won’t be no barking wars or intimidation when the pups go outside. I do have a cat in the home. I have a flexible schedule as a work freelance so I can adapt to the needs of each individual pet and owner. I have a 11 year old boy who is gentle and kind and has been around pets since he was born.
“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!”
“Ben is great! Super easy to communicate with and our pup always has fun and is excited to see Ben whenever he comes over! Ben has both done dog walks and house sitting for us.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs from a young age. My family always deemed me to the go-to when they had to go away and wanted their doggies to be in sweet and well-kept care. I have experience with different breeds, age groups, and attitudes of course. I am currently on a hybrid schedule with my University, which means I am able to do my lessons online or in person. This leaves my schedule free to fit other responsibilities. In my home I try to give the pet the same energy their family gives them at home, if I know their home tends to leave the TV on for them, I will always do that. If it’s a quiet home, we will turn all devices off and make it a laidback spot. In a client’s home, I will follow the same routine instructed by pet owner.
“I’m very happy with Javier’s care of Amur while I was away, he was patient with her and was extremely reliable. I would definitely recommend him and would book him again.”
About: I love all animals. I've been adopting rescues for the last 5 years and taking care of pets for family and friends for the last year. I have been working from home full time for the last 4 years as a music studio producer and songwriter. My pets are always around and with me majority of the time. I'm available to boarding throughout the week anytime after 1pm. I have a duplex apartment where dogs are free to roam around. I also have a fenced backyard for dogs to play and be outside. I have a little fur baby dachshund that loves to play with other dogs and cats.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Ariana was a huge help by coming in to walk Balboa on short notice. I made a mistake with my keyless entry system, preventing her from being able to enter my apartment. Instead of leaving, Ariana waited almost 30 minutes while I corrected it and then proceeded with the walk. She’s super helpful and a great choice!
Had a great experience with this dog walker! They were friendly, reliable, and took great care of Sasha. Communication was smooth, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Sasha seemed happy and well taken care of after his walk. Really appreciate the care and attention. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Steven was amazing. He looked after my dogs like they were part of his family! He showed up consistently and on time and communicated extremely well. He sent great pictures and spent a lot of time with my kids! On top of everything he rescued me from a stuck elevator. I highly recommend Steven!
Candace is phenomenal! Reliable, quick to communicate, and incredible with Sprinkles. The Rover card updates and pictures always give me total peace of mind while I’m at work. Sprinkles comes back happy and thoroughly exercised every single time. 10/10 recommendation! She’s the best!

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
