“Stayed overnight with our 3 dogs. She was very flexible with our house and living situation being under construction. Provided cuddles and care to the dogs. Very thankful to have the house and pets taken care of while we were away. Thank you!”
“Yvette took good care of our two pugs in our home. We have one young one and a 4-year-old that we adopted that came with some special needs. We feel they were looked after with tenderness and attentiveness, following our "to do" list we left for caring for our dogs. We came home and everything was pretty much just as we left it. We have no problem recommending her and would definitely like to have her care for our furbabies and our home again in the future. Thanks so much Yvette!!”
“Sara did an excellent job caring for our dog and cats. She kept us updated throughout the stay, sent plenty of photos, and really helped put our minds at ease knowing they were in good hands. She kept them engaged with activities and lots of mental stimulation, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Dakota was great and made sure our animals were well-taken care of. I highly recommend Dakota for many reasons, but he was an excellent communicator and followed-up whenever it was needed.”
About: I grew up in a house with animals for as long as I can remember, from dogs, cats, to snails. I have experience with all kinds of breeds, from working hunting dogs to the most suborn bassets. Am always looking for a new (furry) friend to keep me active. Currently working part time, with very adjustable schedule. Very happy to stop by at all hours, rain or shine. Always happy for the excuse to leave the house and get active. Respectfull of all boundaries, pet and human alike. Always willing to bring my own treats, and spoil your animals in whatever way you seem fit.
“I had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth as my dog sitter. She was always on time, communicated clearly, and attentive to both my dogs individual needs. It gave my peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She was also very flexible when my work schedule changed at the last minute, I really appreciate that. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.”
“Mayra was a fantastic pet sitter and left our house in pristine condition. Mayra had excellent communication skills and kept us at ease during our time away...looking forward to future sits. Thank you!!”
About: My name is Charizma Williams. I’ve pet-sitted for my sister’s friend and with my best friend on and off for 3 years. I grew up helping take care of farm animals, cats, and dogs. I love taking care of animals. I’ll treat them like my very own. Your fur babies will be in good hands. I’ll make sure to send you lots of updates on how they’re doing!! I’m unemployed looking for my first job, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies, play with them and meet all of their needs. I make sure to take care of them with lots of love, gentleness, and kindness. If needed, I can crate them, and if they have any specific requirements, I’ll make sure those are met.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for years for my family and friends and even been recommended to other families as well as a regular. I have two cats and a dog at home and have always came home to a zoo. I’m very detailed and clean when it comes to pet sitting, I’ll keep up with all requirements needed for pet care. I just love animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours as well! I am available during the week, I’ll respond starting at 9am based on my routine and I’m up the latest being 10pm. If needed to come early or stay late, I genuinely do not mind! If you need me to come a certain day, let me know a couple days in advance! I’ve moved around a bit and taken care of animals in different environments. For my own dogs now and in the past I usually walk them on a leash outside 3 times a day. I mean I have also had clients ask me to let them outside in their yard and go to the bathroom. For my cats at home I clean the litter every morning and feed them twice a day usually. It just depends, and I understand everyone takes care of their pet in their own way so I can go based on the routine you give them!
“Marcie did a great job with our dogs, and we're relieved to found someone so reliable. She dog sat at our house and was very communicative. She left the house cleaner than we left it, sent photos and videos, and left a note with info about her schedule/routine. We are definitely going to book with her in the future!”
“Emma was wonderful with great communication! She took fantastic care of our dogs and house, made sure everything was clean before we got home! Already plan to have her housesit our dogs again for an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Emma!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my friends and family since I was 12. I’ve done everything from walks to weekend sleepovers. I have experience with all types and ages of dogs. I also have experience administering medications and accommodating around injuries and allergies (pills, eyedrops, creams, and cones) I currently attend Perry Technical institute so I have class Monday-Thursday 7:30am-4:00pm. I am available anytime that I’m not in class. Im very flexible so feel free to reach out whenever, I take same day requests. You and your fur baby’s comfortability are my top priority. I am open to visits before services to confirm that your dog and I will get along. I am more than willing to send updates as frequently as you’d like so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I also double-check that everything is locked after services to ensure your dogs safety.
About: I guarantee to treat every animal with the same love and care as my own. And beyond that, the same love and care as my children. I am self employed and can make time for any animal any day through my open schedule. I make my own schedule day by day. I have a fenced yard with one small very sweet loving dog. She has gotten along well with any animal she has encountered. I trained her myself.
“10/10 fabulous experience! Carol was extremely communicative, asked to book a meet & greet despite my last minute booking, was super responsible with our home & left it in great shape, and was just a really lovely person. I cannot overemphasize how well she reads dogs - for instance, my barky pom was being his usual guard dog self, and she mentioned she was going to stop doing eye contact with him so he would have a chance to settle. And he settled very quickly! She's so experienced with dogs, and it was a huge bonus that I found out that she has fostered dogs in the past. You have to have a lot of empathy, hope, flexibility and patience to be an animal foster parent, and I love that she came to us with all that and more. I've lost track of all the cool things she did - she tended to our plants, she took my dogs on jogs very often, improved my recipes for the dog's treats and food according to health needs.... the list goes on and on. All with Carol being very chill and sweet and super easy to work with. I'd have her back in a heartbeat. All my dogs LOVED her, from the puppyish 2 year old to the old lady 13 year old in our pack. 5 stars, 10/10, easy stress-free experience!”
“Shelly was exceptional! She is kind, and has a tender heart toward animals. She works very hard at making sure she does everything correctly. I know Buddy had a great time with her because after we returned he was sitting outside waiting for her to come back. She left the house in excellent condition. We will definitely use her again.”
“Ricky was absolutely everything I could ask for from a pet sitter. He stayed at my house for 18 days while I was overseas, and gave me 100% confidence my animals were being well cared for. He's calm and friendly with them, took them for more walks than I do, sent pictures and updates. He's thorough and professional and an all round nice guy. I'll definitely be having him back!”
“Eden was absolutely wonderful! She did a great job with my two boys, sent lots of pictures, and stayed in constant communication about what was going on!! Will absolutely be using her services again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union Gap
My husband and I always have worries when leaving our dog with a sitter, but we can honestly say we were able to enjoy our vacation without a doubt. Liam came and met our dog before our trip, and took great care of our house while we were away. We got daily photos, and our dog was so happy to see us when we got home. We are already planning our next getaway now that we have Liam.

FAQs for House Sitting - Union Gap
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Union Gap on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 157 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Union Gap. 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 Gap 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 Gap 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 Gap 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.

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.
