About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. I’ve never lived without a dog in my home. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and age. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family keeping owners updated with photos and giving their furry friends plenty of love and attention. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m available mornings and evenings for walks and check-ins, and I keep weekends open for longer stays. I’m home often and always make time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m willing to do whatever makes you and your pets most comfortable. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals feel safe and comfortable. I follow any instructions owners provide, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I was raised on a farm so I have experience with a variety of animals. My family has also had multiple cats, dogs, and small animals who I’ve had a hand in raising and caring for. I don’t have any of my own pets to take care of due to my living arrangements and plenty of free time so your animals are sure to get all my affection and attention. I’m comfortable with any types of cages, leashes, and harnesses and know what kinds of behaviors to look for to know when these are necessary.
About: I have always wanted taken care of my pets and everyones in my neighborhood, I get along and everything gets done smoothly when im with them I work only some days in the morning or nights and I can work around my other schedule for any animals when I am needed. I have an open field and a gated one as well and two dogs, I only crate when need be and if asked from someone else.
“Emily was so fun to work with and myself and pets felt comfortable with her immediately! What a great feeling to not worry about a thing! She is an excellent communicator and keeps you in the know of the their days together with texts and photos. I will definitely be re-booking with her!!!”
“Kayla is amazing! She took excellent care of my doggos, sent pictures every day, followed instructions to a tee. One of my doggos got sick from doggy daycare and she called me immediately, took them to the vet, gave them meds, and made arrangements for the dogs to be cared for while she worked. She is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!”
About: I've grown up around cats my entire life, and have cared and trained them for various things like litter box training. For the last couple years I've learned how to care for dogs, especially learning how to care for paraplegic pets. My schedule is set in stone as I work 7:30am to 3:30pm for my job. I can always accommodate for anyone that is in need of pet sitters! While I do not allow other people's pets at my own home due to past conflicts with other owners' pets, I am happy to stay overnight at any place, or stop at the house to care for your pets.
About: I’ve been rescuing and caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now! Started working at a rescue then went on to doing it myself! I currently many pets of my own! I know how to handle aggressive cats as well and have perfected giving them medicine. I dog sit for multiple family, friends, and regular customers a few times a month :) I love walking with dogs, taking them on hikes, or even just playing in the yard! I can take care of whatever feeding, walking, potty, and/or medicine schedule they have! I have done injections into the skin but not the muscle, so if you’re willing to show me I can most definitely learn to do muscle injections I currently free anytime to schedule all your animals needs and have experience with chickens, ferrets, hamsters, and bunnies as well! I also work for an all- natural, family owned dog treat business if you are looking for a healthy treat option for your pups! I also have a large home that is separated by the upstairs and downstairs for dogs that cannot be housed with my cats. I can follow any directions to care for your pets in the way they need!
About: I have had pets for all of my life and have gained a wealth of experience along the way. For several years I worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility where I obtained the knowledge of light grooming, and administering medications such as insulin. During my time working at this facility I also learned how to handle pets that may be aggressive wether it was caused by food, toys, or anxiety. I currently have four dogs and two cats who I love dearly. I have also had the joy of taking care of many animals all the way from puppy/kitten hood all the way to the rainbow bridge. I know how hard it can be to find someone you can trust to care for your fuzzy family member, but I hope you can find that with me. If you have any questions please ask me and I will be happy to answer I am currently working as a shipping manager for a small factory but I would like to make caring for pets my full time job. I have an invisible fence with one and a half acres of area to roam. I have pet stairs leading to those hard to reach areas (like the couch or bed) for small or senior pets. I also have a cart to pull behind my bike if there are any pets that aren't so active but like fresh air. My cats enjoy the luxury of having their own bedroom so they can have peace from the dogs when needed. And of course I have a plethora of toys and treats. I am willing to make accommodations for special needs pets.
About: I've always been an animal lover and have spent years caring for pets for family, friends, neighbors, and my dad's clients. Being the person people trust with their pets is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, cat care, or house sitting, I treat every pet like part of the family. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Right now, I have an open and flexible schedule while I’m looking for work, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I offer dependable, detail-oriented pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals such as rabbits, reptiles, and fish. My approach is centered on consistency, safety, and comfort following each pet’s routine closely while providing calm, attentive care. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walks, or companionship, I make sure every pet feels relaxed, respected, and cared for like family.
“Samantha was fantastic! She was great with our dogs and sent frequent updates with pictures. She also took good care of our house when we were gone. We asked to extend the stay by one night and Samantha was so willing to accommodate and stay!”

I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including puppies, seniors, and pets who require medications or extra attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Union City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 120 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
