“I am so happy we found Candiance to check in on our doggy. She is so patient and understanding to our dog’s needs. She has great communication and it was easy for me to trust her to care for our dog.”
“I was nervous about leaving my cat for an extended period of time - almost two weeks. Rebecca reassured me before and during the trip that my baby would be ok. She took excellent care of him and he was calm and relaxed when I came home. Rebecca was great communicating with me, sending updates and photos/videos. I highly recommend Rebecca and will definitely be using her any time we are away!”
“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.”
“Aniko is wonderful and so good with our Samoyed. She is very attentive and communicative and asks for clarification - we trust her with our pup completely! We will definitely book again!”
“Lana was a loving mom to our cat Aeva! Lana not only gave food and cleaned poop, she played and spoilt Aeva until she purred contentedly... Lana even visited her twice on a day where she had a family event and is not business minded whatsoever!”
“Alena was simply amazing with my cat Athena. She took care of her for over a week and always made sure she was happy and well cared for. After every drop-in, she would let me know how everything went, send me amazing pictures, and provide a detailed update. You can tell Alena truly loves animals. She’s caring, polite, and incredibly attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Alena to anyone looking for a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Alena!”
About: I am a reliable person. If I say i’m coming, I show up. I think animals tend to warm up to me quickly because i’m nurturing. I am a writer, so I am flexible with my work from anywhere during the day, except for the days i’m filming and on set. I have a cat myself at home, i have a 2nd bedroom so i can always use the guest room for your animal if they are not comfortable being around a cat.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 5 years, helping friends, family, and people in my community care for their beloved pets. My experience includes feeding, walking, keeping pets company, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for pets for extended periods of 1–2 weeks at a time, so I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and giving them plenty of attention. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always do my best to make them feel right at home! I work from home most days of the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets and give them the attention they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays, and I can be flexible with scheduling based on your pet’s needs. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and outdoor playtime. I understand how important it is to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in a new environment. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, follow their usual routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away!
“Jade & Scotty have been so wonderful. I was so nervous going online and finding someone but knew I had to with my busy schedule. Jade & Scotty made time to come meet Us prior to us booking our first visit. I knew that day this was going to be a great fit. We have had several visits, my dogs love them and they are always sure to give me updates and pictures! When I get home my dogs are calm and happy after their visit and I feel good knowing they are not alone all day!”
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.
“Christella was great with my cat! She was timely, communicative and very easy to work with. I received lots of updates and pictures of them playing as well. My cat also seemed so much calmer and “tired out”after Christella’s visits which is amazing!”
“Ronald did a great job taking care of my Hilton! This was my first time using Rover and Hilton seemed very happy and content when I arrived back at home. Ronald kept me updated with pictures of their walks too! I highly recommend”

“Taylor went above and beyond watching our two cats! She gave detailed reports every day and looked after them as if they were her own. I can’t recommend her enough, she was the best Rover sitter we’ve ever booked.”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats when I was teenagers. My first cat was 17 years old. I just got my new cat, I bought everything for my cat. I am good with keeping everything as clean as possible, vacuum everyday. I also have experience taking care of small dogs. I took care of my step daughter's two Yorkshire Terrier dogs when she was travelling, One of them is more than 10 years old. I fed the dogs and clean the dog's face, comb their hair, play with them. It was fun time. They like me more than my husband, haha. I’m free after work, I work at Wall street Manhattan, living near Fort Lee NJ. I will be available after work Monday to Friday, weekends will be more flexible. I bought everything automatic for my cat. The automatic litter box, I clean it every day. Water fountain has filter, I wash and change the water every 3 to 4 days with boiled water (cooling down) due to my cat only has one kidney. Cat food, I feed him with wet can food twice a day and with dry food automatic feeding. I mix different cat food due to his sensitive stomach.
About: I love dogs and understand that yours is part of your family. I have owned dogs for over 18 years (male german shepherd mix and female pitbull) and I know what makes them tick!

“Kathleen was amazing! Helped us out last minute in a pinch for two days in a row. She was responsible and responsive. Cheese was happy to see her! Would love to book her again!”
About: Have taken care of all kinds of dogs my whole life! Forming relationships with the dogs and making them feel comfortable is the best feeling :) They truly brighten my days. *I don’t have of my own dogs in my home while dog sitting, they’re in LI 🥺* I live right next to Central Park and love to be active with dogs and love them as my own!!! I love to make sure they are comfortable and happy even when away from their family. I care for pets in client’s home by listening closely to what their preferences are! They are the ones who know their pets the best! Whatever makes the pet comfortable :)
About: I love all animals, but dogs will always have a special place in my heart! I took care of my own dog for his whole life, and I have been the person people asked to walk their dogs in my neighborhood since I was 11! I love all dogs and have taken care of/walked dogs off all breeds and sizes! I'm currently taking classes part time, so I have plenty of time to walk dogs! My hours are very flexible, so I'll be at your (and your dogs) disposal!! Shorter 15-Minute Puppy/Senior Walks Available too! Need a quick mid-day relief or stretch-and-sniff for your pup? I offer 15-minute express visits for $12. Just message me for a custom booking request! Before every walk, I carefully verify that harnesses, collars, and leashes are correctly fitted and secure. During walks, I avoid high-traffic areas, and keep a safe distance from unfamiliar dogs and off-leash pets. I respect your home and follow all entrance/exit instructions closely, including double-checking doors, gates, lockboxes, and alarm systems. Upon returning from a walk, I wipe dirty paws, refresh clean drinking water, administer owner-approved treats or meals, and settle your dog safely back into their designated space. Building trust with you and your pet is my top priority. After every walk, I send a detailed Rover Card with photos and potty stats, so you always have full peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Yisha is a great cat sitter! She took the time to come and visit our cat before we left, she was very thorough and reliable. We had an issue with the cat feeder machine while we were away and she was very proactive and helpful and was able to troubleshoot very quickly. She was also very sweet with our cat and sent cute photos. We would definitely reach out to Yisha for cat sitting in the future.
Jeanne was very prompt and communicative through the whole process. She genuinely took good care of Moose and I felt very safe with him in her hands. If you're looking for someone who will provide proper excellent care for your pet, Jeanne is the one to call!
Amy was incredible!! From the first time we talked about the booking she was extremely communicative and organized. She arrived early and was super prepared. She watched my 12 week old puppy and was so accommodating to her naps and any special requests I had asked about. Amy sent me photos all the time and updated me every step of the way about my pup and even how much she ate and played. I could not recommend her enough! She was my first puppy sitter and I will 100% be using her again! My puppy loved her!!
Katie was great! She sent plenty of photos and detailed updates after each visit, which gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was well cared for while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Would definitely book with her again!
We had Kelly petsit our cat for a week and a half in 2 hour increments and she was super communicative and flexible in her approach and care. From our initial meet and greet it was clear that she has been around cats and understands how to properly engage with them. We came home to a happy and healthy cat so we couldn’t ask for much more
Xinyu was absolutely wonderful with Mocha! She was super responsive from the very first message and incredibly diligent throughout. She checked in every single day and took time to actually play with Mocha, not just feed her. The daily photos and videos were the highlight of my trip and gave me total peace of mind. Mocha was relaxed and happy when I got home, which says everything. I'd book Xinyu again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to any cat parent!
Sana is amazing! We were out for 3 days and booked Sana to look after our cat and a newly adopted kitten. She is extremely diligent and communicative, and paid great attention to each cat. We are so at ease knowing our babies are being taken great care of! Will definitely rebook.
Deanna was amazing! She’s super sweet and patient with our cat and gave him so much love and attention. She took such good care of him while we were away, and we could tell he really liked her! We’re so happy we found her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Union City is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $41 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 27,804 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union City. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitter.
