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.

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.

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!

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 :)

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.

Katie was great with our shy, anxious cats. She made sure our cat got his daily medicine even tho he’s hard to find with all his hiding spots. She was great with communication and I loved getting all the photos she sent in the check in notes. I could tell the cats were well taken care of and I’d be happy to book with Katie again!

About: Hello! My name is Janet, and I am dog mom to the 2 most wonderful rescue pups from DCAS, Georgie (our lovable and snuggly pittie basset hound mix) and Cleo (our sassy terrier mix diva with the fierce brows to match the ‘tude). I have had dogs in my home for most of my life, with ages starting from 11 weeks old up until the end of their precious and short lives... and from a wee few pounds up to 77 pounds of muscle! As my husband would say of me, I have never met a dog I didn’t love immediately. I love to play fetch or tug with the energetic pups, give belly rubs to the lush ones, and snuggle with every pup I meet.

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.

Marlene was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my two cats while we were away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. She followed every instruction perfectly, made sure my boys were well-fed, and, most importantly, gave them so much love, attention, and affection. She even stayed overnight one of the nights to ensure my senior cat, Mumu, received his medication on time, which meant so much to me. Caring for a pet with medical needs requires patience and dedication, and she handled everything flawlessly. It’s clear that Marlene genuinely loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. She went above and beyond, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and attentive, Marlene is the person to call. I would trust her with my boys again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Marlene, for taking such incredible care of Mumu and Speedy!

Anastasiia was kind, communicative, and professional. She took great care of our cat, Pip!. She followed all meal time instructions to a tee, kept our litter boxes and the surrounding areas tidy, and played with Pip!, who connected with her from the first visit. She sent us regular updates and photos of Pip! playing (many of them made us laugh). This was our first time going out of town and leaving Pip! for a week, and we are so thankful to have found such a wonderful pet sitter who put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Anastasiia and would not hesitate to reach out to her again for her exceptional care. With gratitude from us and Pip!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Union City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Union City on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 27,629 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.
