“We had a great experience with her watching our dogs. She was very communicative, responsive, and easy to work with, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly comfortable and happy with her, and we appreciated the updates and pictures she shared. It was obvious they were well cared for and relaxed at home. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Madison is exceptional. Highly recommend. Madison cared for my three cats while I was away for 2.5 weeks. She visited twice daily and provided exactly the level of care I needed. What stood out: ✅ Proactive communication - She sent pictures and videos throughout my trip with specific updates on each cat. ✅ Problem-solving - One of my cats developed concerning eye symptoms mid-trip. Madison immediately sent me a photo, asked what to do, and implemented my care plan. The eye improved quickly because of her attentiveness. ✅ Attention to detail - I came home to a clean litter box, clean home, happy cats in good condition, and a thoughtful note. She also left coupons for cat food. ✅ Peace of mind - I was traveling internationally and missed my cats terribly. But I had ZERO worry about their care because Madison was there. Madison understands that pet sitters do more than feed and scoop, they’re caregivers who notice when something’s off and act on it. She’s my first choice for cat care.”
About: I worked at a dog/cat daycare and boarding facility for 3 years so I know dog/cat behavior, safely protocols and procedures well, and I am passionate about their wellbeing. I am currently working part-time so I am pretty flexible with my time and availability. I also love going on walks so having a pup with me would make it a lot more enjoyable. I will follow the instructions provided to me. I also love to give extra affection and attention when wanted and or needed. I am familiar with administering medications if needed.
“I would recommend Karina to anyone. She’s everything you want to watch your dog, responsible, respectful, professional, and our dogs loved her. This was our fist time with Karina and will use her again no questions asked. Thank you Karina!”
“Ariel was awesome. It is clear that she loves dogs and treated our guy like he was her own. Communication was great, pictures were wonderful. It could not have been better, and we will definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Kelly was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and she helped ease my first time jitters. Our dog has separation anxiety and she was available to house sit and be there the majority of the time. She sent videos and photos for our kids and us to see. She walked and played outside a lot keeping our dog active and thus calmer.”
About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

“She was great with our very anxious dog! He seemed to really warm up to her as the days went on! Left our house even cleaner then we did and even shoveled our driveway. You could tell instantly her comfort and love for animals. I would think of her first if we needed to leave town again!”
About: Working in the pet industry for almost 2 decades, you can trust it’s my passion to take care of your pet. It’s my greatest joy to spend each day with animals.

Crates, kennels, leashes, harnesses, etc. At my own home, we use only a 6ft lead in the yard. No kennels.
About: I’m a friendly chap and I’ve lived with both cats and dogs in the past. I have years of experience taking care of dogs for friends and roommates, ranging in size from chihuahua to pit bull.

“We had a wonderful experience Hailey! She stayed at her home while we were away and was incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire time. She sent the sweetest pictures of her snuggling with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that our dogs felt comfortable and were well cared for, not just fed and let out, but actually loved. She went above and beyond by cleaning their ears, and even trimming their nails, which we really appreciated. She also kept our house clean. We felt completely at ease being away, knowing our dogs were safe and happy. She even left us an adorable note with a drawing of our dogs. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”
“Emily is exactly what you are looking for when you go on a trip and have to leave your fur kids behind. She asked great questions on the front end, was very responsive when we texted, and our boys loved hanging out with her. She was cleanly in our house and cleaned up after herself also. Overall - I’d rate 10/10 and would recommend her to everyone who needed a dog sitter”
“This is our second time with Sydney and she will be our go to dog sitter in the future! Our dogs are well loved and cared for when she’s with them, and she also takes good care of our house.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Union Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 863 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Union Hill. 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill 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.
