“If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, I can’t recommend Josie enough. She took amazing care of my French Bulldog, Raze, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Raze can be a little quirky and has his own personality, and Josie took the time to understand him instead of just watching him. It was obvious he felt comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. She kept me updated, treated him with kindness and patience, and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy. Coming home to a relaxed, well-cared-for dog says everything about the level of care she provides. Thank you, Josie, for treating Raze like he was your own. Your compassion, professionalism, and love for animals truly show. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust you with him again, and I highly recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Jordyn! I’m 26 years old and hold a Bachelor of Science degree. I have a genuine passion for caring for animals and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐶 Meet My Furry Family! I’m a proud dog mom to three wonderful dogs: Leo, Princess, and Aura! Leo is my American Staffordshire Pit Bull, and I’ve had him since he was just three months old in 2020. Princess is a Black Mouth Cur, and Aura is a Chow Chow/Husky mix. My dogs are a big part of my life, and being a dog owner myself has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your pets like family! 🐾 My Experience I have six years of dog-sitting experience and three years of experience working at a dog daycare. My responsibilities included supervising dogs, keeping kennels clean and comfortable, removing waste, dog fur, leftover food, and water, and maintaining a safe and sanitary environment for the dogs in our care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, going on walks, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality. ☀️ My Work Schedule & Availability I work full-time Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

About: I have owned dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals in my life. It has been my emotional support for sure.

Would love to spend time loving on your babies while you have to be away 😊 I have linoleum floors and a front and back yard. You are welcome to bring a cage but I would love to let your buddy sleep with me also … Lots of outside time and taking walks can be in our passtime
About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.
“Lucy filed in on short notice for a two week vacation trip. She took good care of our two dogs including one that is very wary of strangers. Our house was immaculate when we returned and our plants were in great shape also.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and taken care of many pets of my friends or people in my hometown. I was consistently walking dogs this past summer. I have also taken care of dogs with medical needs. I have class for a few hours Monday through Thursday. Only one class per day so a pet won’t be alone for long at all. I frequently walk and run so a pet to join would be so fun. I am available really any time to take care of or hang out with a a pet. I am able to walk and run pets often. I can care for pets with medical needs. I don’t have a year but I can take the pets outside on a leash or an enclosed designated pet area. I can care for pets inside your home however needed.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for 25+ animals, so I’m calm, patient, and confident in situations most sitters aren’t. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I understand behavior, routines, and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 3 PM on weekdays, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate consistent schedules or last-minute bookings when needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I follow all feeding, cleaning, and medication instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet attention at their comfort level.

FAQs for House Sitting - Union City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 662 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Union City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Union City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Union City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Union City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
