“Kate was an amazing care giver for Boss on her drop in visits. She was an excellent communicator and always sent us pictures. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would!”
About: A great dog walker is someone who not only loves dogs but understands their needs, temperament, and energy levels. They’re patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping dogs safe and comfortable during their walks. This is where I come in! As a dog owner of 10 years I have a keen awareness of dog behavior and can help handle different situations, whether it’s dealing with a nervous pup or a playful one. I will keep owners updated on their dog’s well-being. I am passionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to ensuring each walk is a fun and enriching experience for the dogs in my care I currently work from home full - time. However, I have a flexible schedule to where I can walk a dog in the mornings, during lunch, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends for any time that is needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. Dogs are welcome in all parts of my home - including laying on the couch and making themselves comfortable.
“Felisha is the BEST pet sitter hands down!!! She remembered EVERYTHING I explained and asked her to do during our meet & greet. She took unbelievable pictures and left me brief, detailed notes of each visit. Her experience and professionalism is beyond compare.”
“Kathy was great with our 2 pups! They warmed up to her immediately and we knew they were in good hands! She was punctual and was so helpful by accommodating us last minute! We’d definitely hire her again!”
“Olivia was amazing! She checked on our elderly cat for a week while we were away, made sure he got his meds, and even sent us daily photos, which we loved. It was such a relief knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Super reliable and so sweet—we’d definitely ask her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them my whole life. I regularly pet sit for my brother’s three dogs regularly, giving me hands on experience with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked and cared for friends and neighbors dogs, and my experience with shy or anxious animals means I know how to help every dog feel safe and comfortable. On top of that, I have animal nutrition education and pet care first aid & CPR training, so you can trust your dog is in knowledgeable, loving hands. I run my own cat food business and go to the gym daily, which gives me a consistent routine while still allowing me to provide dedicated care for pets. I schedule walks, playtime, and visits around my day so your pets always get reliable attention, exercise, and love. Whether it’s a mid day walk, a drop in, or an overnight stay, I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I do not host pets at my home, but I am happy to provide overnight stays at your home, where your pet can stay in a familiar, stress free environment.

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for animals and have always had a huge love for them. I previously worked at an animal shelter and have also fostered animals and done rescue work independently. Through those experiences, I’ve cared for animals with different personalities, backgrounds, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of patience, attention, and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat every animal in my care like they’re one of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a regular part of my day.

About: I’ve had dogs every since I can remember, our house always had at least 2 dogs in the family. I was always in charge of walking and feeding them I work 7-5, Monday- Friday! Watching your pet or pets would fit in because I would be able to stay overnight to watch your furry friends. And as far as weekends I don’t work so they would have a pal all day. I care for pets in others homes by first treating their pet like it is my own. And second I treat the house like it is my own also. I want to make sure that the pet I am caring for gets the attention and care he/she needs while the family is away. I am very friendly and love to make connections with new families and their pets.
About: I have been an animal lover since a young age. I have a five year old and 1 year old dog, along with a 1 year old cat. I have pet sat and boarded many dogs and they were nothing less than spoiled! I live on a lake so if your dog loves the water it will have the time of its life, if not, that’s okay too! I am very active so walks can happen frequently. If you are interested in boarding with me I require that your dog is house trained (exception for puppies because they are learning and I can work with that), good with dogs, and doesn’t mind kids nearby. I work Monday through Friday from 8:15am-3:30pm as a teacher and I will be spending the before hours and after hours at your house with your fur baby! I am completely open on weekends! In my clients home I would care for their pets the exact way that they do and how they instruct me to do so! Your babies will get treated the same way I expect mine to be treated!
About: I've spent my entire life around dogs and currently have 2 huskies named Ella and Zoey (RIP 🌈). Ella and I take walks multiple times per day so I'm used to walking multiple dogs in every type of weather (rain, sleet, snow and sunshine). I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule so I can be available at multiple times a day to walk your dog(s). I'd like to know how your dog(s) react while walking to other dogs, loud noises, other people. My dogs love walks so if our dogs get along they would LOVE to come along.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Union Lake is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,376 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Union Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union Lake. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
