“Stephanie did a fabulous job watching our older dog and taking care of our home while we were gone. She was very communicative, responsive, and helpful. We felt very comfortable with her at our home and will definitely hire her again. Thanks, Stephanie!”
About: Personally, I’ve had a family dog and a cat in the past. So I’ve had experience living with and caring for pets on a daily basis. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for a long time, and occasionally fish and turtles. As I’m currently a graduate student, I’m waiting to get a doggo and kitty of my own for when I find a permanent home. In the meantime, I would be happy to give your pets all the love and cuddles they so much deserve! I’m a graduate student who works remotely so I will have plenty of time give your pets all the cuddles! I can do overnight stays during the week if you’re okay with me occasionally opening my laptop. I can also do overnight stays on the weekend with advanced notice. I can feed, brush, play with and walk your pets. I’m also happy to clean and take out the litter whenever needed. Cuddles are included as well! I absolutely LOVE taking photos of animals so you can expect cute photos of your fur babies along with regular updates throughout my stay. I’m happy to discuss any other miscellaneous things that may be needed for overnight stays as well. :)
“Chelsea loves animals, and animals love Chelsea! Chelsea is an excellent house sitter, drop-in sitter, dog walker, pet care person of all stripes! We highly recommend her as safe and efficient. Our little dog simply loves her!”
“Yvette was amazing! After 9 days we came home to Jasper who was happy and healthy. Not only did she take fabulous care of our precious boy, she left our house just as we had left it, spotless! Yvette was so kind and crocheted both my husband and I a pair of booties ❤️ thank you so much Yvette for making it possible for us to take a much needed vacation!”
“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!!”
“Sarea was amazing. She sent constant updates and photos of our 3 dogs. We did not have to worry about anything. We requested a room in and stay at the house, which she did and kept our home spotless-went above and beyond cleaning up the yard of dog waste. Came home to everything being the same as we left it. Our dogs were extremely well cared for, she played fetch with our 4 year old lab, walked with our two senior dogs-she helped keep them safe and entertained, loved until we got back. We cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her. Thank you so much Sarea”
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.
“Dakota was very responsive and timely in communicating with us and was great with our dogs. They did great while we were away. I will definitely request Dakota to watch our dogs again!”
About: I've had some experience with small family dogs but have many years of experience with cats. I can feed, walk, give potty breaks, clean up after, and play with your pets. I am working full time as a caregiver and will be available after 7pm on the weekdays and all day on most weekends. We can discuss care and scheduling accordingly. I will provide a safe space for your pet in your home while providing care, companionship, and and play to give what your pets need.
“Gunner is wonderful with our two spoiled dogs, and our two cranky farm cats. We know our place is in good hands when he sits for us. He is a very kind and gentle with our little critters and we are so glad we found him! Jim and Beth”
“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!”
“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!!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have always had a substantially great amount of love for animals. I grew up on the rural area of town and we always had cats, dogs, chickens, horses etc. I would like to consider myself as a very reliable and responsible individual. I treat all animals I interact with as if they are my own. I am a stay at home mom so most of the times that I am watching dogs or cats my son will be around as well, so i prefer any large dogs to be on the calmer side. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not accept any animals therefore I won’t be able to watch any dogs or cats in my home. I am a stay at home mom doing online school so I have plenty of time do watch and play with animals. My 2 year old son will be with me most of the time so hopefully that needs to be kept in mind while booking with me. He loves all animals as well and knows how to be gentle with them. I am a very attentive person and am good at following tasks that may have to be provided for any animals. That being said I am also sympathetic when it comes to other people’s pets. I understand and I can adapt to the behavior of dogs and cats, whether they are energetic or mellow.

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
