“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.”
“Rachel has continued to provide a level of care far beyond other pet sitters. Our flight was potentially going to be canceled due to snow and Rachel gave us exceptional peace of mind; she was not only able to get to our cat during the snowstorm but also offered to continue taking care of him until we were able to return home. She’s the best!”
About: Experience walking and caring for dogs and cats. I have fostered several animals throughout college and have trained dogs of all ages. My own pet is AKC Caine Good Citizen Certified and I have a research background in dog Vet Care and can make adjustments to care based on breed and any current health issues. I make time to take my own pet out on adventures and I'd love to be able to take yours out for some fun as well! I'm vigilant of potential dangers with care for a pet outside of their home. I take notice of areas/ other pets to avoid and will physically step in to protect your pets boundaries.
“Took excellent care of our 2 fur babies over the holiday weekend and for a 10 day trip and I felt so at ease. She never complained even though we have a dog with IVDD who requires special care. My dogs can be stubborn but clearly were cared for with love while I was away.”
About: Hi! We’re Faith and Nik, lifelong animal lovers who truly believe pets are family. Between the two of us, we’ve had animals our entire lives, including dogs, cats (and even guinea pigs and fish!) and we bring that same care and respect to every pet we care for. Your pet will have plenty of company here. Nik is retired and certified in animal first aid, while Faith works from home, meaning your dog or cat will enjoy continual supervision and affection. They’ll also have a friend in our 11-year-old Lab mix, Nala. She is sweet, gentle, and well-socialized with both cats and dogs, making her the perfect, low-stress companion for visiting pets. We live in a spacious apartment next door to a new park with a nice dog run. Having provided sitting services for friends and family for years, we understand how important routine and comfort are when you’re away. We treat every animal as if they were our own, while following your specific care instructions to the letter and providing regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind. Whether your pet prefers high-energy playtime, cozy cuddles, or just a quiet place to nap, we adapt to their personality to make them feel right at home. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member!
“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!”
“Javier took great care of my cat for two weeks and was always kind, reliable, and responsible. I truly appreciate his dedication and would definitely ask for his help again. Highly recommended.”
“Angela is amazing - super nice and easy to work with! She took the time to understand my cat’s needs, handled everything nicely, and sent me lots of photos of my cat.”
“This is our second booking with Katherine she’s always so wonderful with my senior cat and he’s very shy with most people. She’s also super responsive and detailed. I never worry when I know she’ll be around!”
“Randi was great! She Took care of our two cats while we were out of town for the week. She made sure to take photos and keep us updated with how they were doing the whole time!”
“I can't thank Melissa enough for taking such good care of my cat while I was away. She followed all the instructions I provided and sent me daily updates with photos and videos, which were such a comfort. When I came back, my cat was happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Since I was a baby, dogs have always been part of my world. I started working with dogs at 15, and I’ve taken care of puppies, adult dogs, and seniors with patience and love. I’m gentle, responsible, and always pay attention to what each pup needs. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their own space.🤍🐾 I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter who always puts your baby’s happiness first. I love giving gentle walks during the day, so they can enjoy fresh air, explore, and feel relaxed during the day. I also offer in home pet sitting, making sure your little one stays safe, comfortable, and calm while you’re away. I treat every pet with love, patience, and soft attention, always making them feel cared for and truly at home.🐾🤍 I provide loving, attentive care for pets—following their routines, giving playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention, keeping their space clean, and following all instructions to keep them happy and safe.

“Aniko took excellent care of my cat Penelope! Her updates were very detailed and she took awesome photos. My cat clearly felt very at ease with her. Thank you Aniko!”
“Murray was an excellent cat sitter. He fed and played with my cats every day and even got my most timid cat to come out of hiding. He also took care of some minor things when I asked him like a camera the cats knocked over. I am really glad I hired Murray and Ana to take care of my cats while I was gone - and my cats were glad as well.”
“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.”
“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!”

Carly took excellent care of Toastie, and Toastie loved the meet-and-greet and drop-in visits. Carly is responsible and attentive. Finding someone you trust to come into your home to care for your pet is invaluable. We absolutely will book Carly again when we need Toastie care in NYC.
Monica did a great job taking care of our cats! She took care to follow all our instructions and give all our cats plenty of love, attention, and play time. She was timely and sent good follow up notes every time. Even our crankiest cat warmed up to her by the end. And we came back to a clean house at the end of our travels, which was much appreciated. We’d definitely book with Monica again.
Our 4 year old Samoyed took to Laura right away! She is very punctual, professional, and communicative. We had peace of mind knowing our pup was in her care and she was very attentive to our pup’s needs including her routine, keeping her cool and hydrated during a heat wave, and prioritizing her safety in the yard. We will definitely book Laura again!
Leila has cared for our cats multiple times now and she always goes above and beyond. She is reliable and communicative which makes all the difference for me. This trip I messaged her late about a food level notification and she was there bright and early to refill and feed them. I appreciate her commitment. Thanks Leila!
Micaela took amazing care of our cat, Snips! We booked 5 daily visits to help keep our cat on a normal routine and Micaela went above and beyond with her level of care while in our home. She spent lots of time playing with Snips, scooped her litter, checked the food bowls, and even checked areas of concern we mentioned. I highly recommend Micaela for you cat sitting needs; we will be booking repeatedly with her!
Catherine was great with our 3 cats. 3 is definitely a handful, and Catherine was very patient and responsive to our neurotic concerns over one of our girls who is very shy and sensitive. Shy girl came around and all 3 had a great time. Catherine made sure they had playtime and petting. Thanks so much for taking care of our kitties.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Union City on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 27,884 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 88% of sitters 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 pet, 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.
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.
