“We love Rachel, was very attentive and stayed with Teddy for a long time each visit. Rachel let Teddy warm up them on his own time, but he got plenty of playtime, attention and treats. They also went out of their way to do things we didn't even ask for, like water my sad plants (I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT) and keep Teddy's food and litter areas even neater than when we left. Thank you so much again, we hope to be able to book you again in the future!”
“Melissa was so great with my two cats! One of my cats is super shy so Melissa made sure to note when she would come out or not. So it was really reassuring seeing her updates and pictures of them while I was gone :) And my cats were happy to have her around too!!”
“Christine went above and beyond. She was very communicative, punctual, and gave me amazing advice about how to curb some of my cats behavioral issues. Definitely will rebook”
About: Hello! My name is Alena, and working with animals is my true passion. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as an invaluable background working in the veterinary department of an animal center. I am also Fear Free trained, which means I use specialized techniques to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. This experience allows me to understand dog behavior deeply and handle pets with special needs, anxiety, or high energy. At home, I have a cat named Amber who prefers not to live with dogs. Because of this, my home boarding is exclusively open to foster cats. I am happy to offer walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to fully adapt to your pet's established routine. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, timely medication administration, or structured walks, I ensure their day looks exactly like it does when you are home. Keeping a consistent routine is key to minimizing stress. Safety is my top priority. Thanks to my experience in a veterinary shelter department and Fear Free training I create a secure environment for every pet. I strictly follow all care instructions, and keep a close eye on their well-being. I am fully confident in administering medications and maintaining emergency protocols if needed.
“Katherine is very responsive, polite, and best of all, my Cleo loves her!! She is an experienced pet caregiver and I would gladly continue to book with her/recommend her to others”
“Angela provided outstanding service in taking care of my cat, Finn. She sent pictures of him hiding under rugs and the bed. Made sure his food and water were full and that his litter was clean. I came back from a six-day trip and he was his usual goofy self like I never left! Thanks, Angela!! Five stars well earned :)”

I wanted to check in more than usual with my puppy since he vomited last night and Tori responded immediately with photos. My puppy was happy and calm when I came back. I would definitely book her again!”
“Baris continually is one of the best cat sitters I could ask for. He is always super helpful and caring and provides so much extra comfort while I’m away. It helps that my cat also loves him, one of the best for sure, could not recommend him enough”
“Valerie is a wonderful person and care giver. My cat actually looked behind me for Valerie. My cuddles has never been interested in watching TV before. But Valerie found a channel on YouTube for him. She sent me pictures of him watching a cartoon fish program. She maintained his liter box and his feeding to perfection. It's no small feet to trust .”
“Mari has lovely warm and calm energy that is great for my cat Charlie - and was super communicative with updates while she was catsitting. Thank you so much Mari!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Daisy was absolutely wonderful with Des. She was timely, communicative, attentive, and incredibly responsive throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was also very clear that she genuinely cared about him. She paid attention to his needs, spent real time with him, and treated him with so much affection and care. I came home to a happy, well-tended-to cat. She was also exceptionally respectful of my home and space, which I really appreciated. I would trust Daisy with Des again without hesitation and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter.
Always a pleasure to have Monica watch my little guy - he adores her! They always have so much fun and their play sessions are great for getting his energy out before bedtime. She puts together fun tunnel systems for him and he has a blast! Monica was fortunately available last minute when I had to attend a funeral out of state. Replied promptly which enabled us to book quickly and gave me one less thing to worry about while coordinating hotel, cars, flights...a lifesaver to say the least. Nobody I trust more with my cat!
We are grateful that we found Rebecca as a drop-in sitter for our fur-baby Raphael, who is a very affectionate cat that needs some company when his family is away traveling. While sitting for us, Rebecca sent us lots of pictures, scooped litter, played with him, and checked his ears daily (as Raphael is prone to ear infections). We plan to hire her again for a longer sitting!
Xinyu took excellent care of Chibi and Milo. She followed all instructions carefully and was very gentle with both cats. Extra patience was especially important for Chibi, who is very shy and tends to hide around strangers. She provided detailed daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I felt completely relaxed knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her.
Jessica has taken care of our cat Mango for over a year now. She always sends great pictures and a detailed description, clearly cares about Mango’s well being, and is consistently responsible, reliable, and communicative. We feel so much more confident being away knowing that Jessica is checking in on Mango!
Julie is a wonderful person and an amazing caregiver to our two beautiful cats. Julie is on time, she takes excellent care of our two little girls when we are away and extremely thoughtful. Our cats get the 5 star service and we know how well our cats are taken care of when we are traveling. You will be very happy with how caring and professional she is. Book her you’ll be happy you did. Thank you, Julie.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Union City on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 27,821 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.
