“So understanding and kind. The pictures sent Dakota, the boys seemed so happy and cared for! I loved my updated feedback and communication. I definitely recommend him and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter ?”
“Arizonia is AMAZING!!! She took care of our 2 frenchies for a couple days and it was as smooth as can be. Not only were the boys happy when we got back but our house was immaculate and she baked us some treats ? We’ll for sure have her again!!”
“Gunnar was super responsive to specific pet care requests and willing to accommodate our girls. He sent us updates and continued to work on training that we were working on so our puppy wouldn’t regress too much. Will definitely be using Gunnar in the future.”
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.
“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.”
“Mandy was wonderful !!! We have 4 dogs, two seniors both deaf and partially blind and two young one under two years old. We were out of state at a family wedding. She sent pictures and updates during our visit. She is quick to respond to any inquires and will ask for clarification if she needed it. Our dogs were hardly excited to see us upon our return. They were very happy in their normal space but with their new favorite human. We will happily use her again and again.”
“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: Hello! My name is ash, I grew up in a loving animal house! As my mom would say I am an animal loving person. I love all different sizes or shapes such as rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats and birds! I have been loving, caring and gentle with animals since I was a little girl. My first ever pet was a puppy, we rescued him from an animal shelter. I have trained, fed and walked him. All of the pets that I have had were guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, lizards, horses, dogs and cats. So you can say I am an animal lover to the bone. I also have house sit, dog walking and trained a variety of animals for my neighborhood, family members and friend. I currently have a pit/lab mix. I am grateful to be able to give the love and care needed to your fur babies! I am currently a new business owner! So I do still have days off during the week and weekends. Typically I work in the mornings to late lunch. If have questions or anything, just ask away! I will care for your pets at your home. I can also do dog walks and do check ups! I will be communicating to the owners about everything the pet and I have done. From the time I get there and leave.
About: Hi there! I am a dog lover of all kinds! I have two dogs of my own, one weiner/corgi mix a blue heeler/Idaho shag and a cat who I love dearly, they are my world. They also love any dog that they meet and are super playful! Ive had experience caring for animals for a very long time, my priority is to make sure all dogs are loved and happy. I decided to get on this for a chance to meet new pups and gain more experience in caring for different breeds and just to spread love and care for all your furry family members. I know how important it is to find somebody you really trust to take care of them throughout the day, overnight or even just for a quick visit so just know your babies will be in good hands with me :) I will have plenty of time to play with the dogs. Also once the weather is cooler I will be able to take your dog on walks or runs with me :) Communication between pet parents and myself are very important. When taking your dogs on a walk, doing drop in visits, or staying overnight in your home, I will always respond to any texts or calls during that time. I send pictures and videos while I’m with your pets at your request.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union Gap
Great experience with Dakota house sitting for us! Our original sitter needed to cancel for personal reasons and so reaching out with short notice to find a replacement so we'd still be able to go on our labor day long weekend was nerve racking. Sent a message to Dakota and he got back to us very quickly, scheduled a meet & greet the next day, dogs loved him, and we confirmed. Our dogs - 2 large and 1 medium sized can get either super excited and or protective, Dakota knew how to greet them immediately and we felt comfortable with it being a great fit. We came back to a clean house that was vaccumed, picked up, and with dog towels for muddy paws and their onesies washed and folded. Definitely recommend Dakota for any of your fur babies needs! 🐶🐾
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Union Gap is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

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.
