“Our babies were very well taken care of while we were away, and we returned to a home that was in better condition than what we left! We received daily updates with multiple photos and the boys were taken out for walks every day. Cannot recommend enough!! Will be a returning client, for sure.”
“Chandra was great! She took amazing care of our pets and the house was very clean when we returned, she washed everything she used. She was super communicative and absolutely went above and beyond for our furry loved ones.”
“Amazing sitters that really treat your pets as their own! Best experience we’ve ever had with a cat sitter and now feel more confident about leaving our little guy for up to a week.”
“I had Laurin watch my house and my dog for five days while I was out of town. My dog needs a lot of attention and I don't have a fenced in yard and I could tell when I came home that he had been well taken care of! Laurin was sweet, very communicative, and overall extremely trustworthy. I'm sure I will hit up again soon!”
“I was looking for someone who could give my cat his medicine and keep an eye on him incase he was in need of anything. Jenna was awesome and I can't wait to have her come cat sit again. Thank you Jenna!”
About: I been fostering kittens for two years with my partner, including bottle-feeding newborns, caring for young or special needs litters, and administering medications. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and animal care. I also have experience house-sitting for both cats and dogs through the Rover app, making sure pets stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like my own. I work full-time, but pet care is still a big part of my routine because I’m super flexible and adaptable. I’m comfortable managing tasks around my schedule and always prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, especially kittens I’m fostering, I provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. I make sure they get plenty of social interaction and gentle handling to help them thrive. I also monitor their health closely and keep their space sanitized to prevent illness. When caring for pets in a client’s home through house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, exercise, or playtime. I treat their home and pets with respect, maintaining the usual environment to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I also provide regular updates to owners so they feel connected and confident while away.
“Becky was absolutely amazing! She sent photos of my fur babies everyday. Walked and played with my dog, snuggled and played with my kitties. She had amazing communication and went above and beyond. My animals were so happy.”
“Johanna did a fantastic job with our elderly cat… We’re always nervous to leave him because he sometimes gets stress-related illness when we’re gone. Johanna took excellent care of him, sending frequent updates, pictures, descriptions of how he was doing, etc. It was very reassuring, and we’re definitely using her again for future trips. Highly recommend!”
“Was the perfect dog sitter. She was attentive, kind and incredibly helpful to me. I lost a family member out of town - she came and stayed with them and showed them all the love I wish I could have given them while I was gone- including staying on schedule with my older pups medicine. I got daily updates with pictures or videos. I CANNOT recommend her enough.”
“Diane was wonderful! Desto loved her immediately and had so much fun with Diane while I was gone. She provided plenty of photos and updates which was great to see. I would recommend Diane to anyone looking for a responsible and caring individual to care for their pets. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Jerra did a great job with our elderly cat. We’re always nervous to leave him with someone new, but she took good care of him, including administering medications. He was happy and relaxed when we got home!”
“She took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. She kept us updated, followed instructions, and made sure the pups were comfortable and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and everything in great shape. Thank you, for helping make our trip much less stressful! Most importantly, she was very sweet to our babies, and that means the world to us. 🐾💕”
“Brogan stayed with my two dogs for five days as a house sitter. Brogan was great: he sent photos, my girls liked him and he left the house so neat, I had to ask which room he used. I would use him again.”
“Exceptional! That's the word that perfectly encapsulates our experience with Adam. He came through for us at the eleventh hour when our initial dog sitter canceled, stepping in to care for our furry family members during the Christmas break. His presence didn't just put our minds at ease; it filled our hearts with gratitude. With a 4-year-old Havanese and a 15-year-old mini-Labradoodle, leaving our dogs, especially our elderly one, with a relative stranger was nerve-wracking. However, Adam's dedication and understanding of our pets' needs transformed our apprehension into trust. He not only stayed in our home but also surpassed all expectations by keeping us updated multiple times a day. His regular messages, complete with photos and videos, allowed us to witness firsthand the happiness of our girls. Administering medication to our Labradoodle was no easy feat, but Adam's commitment shone through as he took the time to learn her preferences and comfort zones. Remarkably, our senior dog ate well under his care, something she rarely does in our absence. Adam tailored his walks to suit our doodle's energy levels, demonstrating an unparalleled level of attentiveness. Adam's thoughtfulness extended beyond pet care; he attended to household chores, from taking out the garbage to refreshing the sheets and tidying up the house. Though we missed our beloved pups, the peace of mind knowing they were content and cherished made it the greatest gift of the season. I wholeheartedly endorse Adam to anyone seeking a trustworthy, conscientious, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”
“Rachel is a great sitter. Our little girls are rescues. Our home is their first home, so they’re learning how to be loved. Rachel was so kind, loving and patient with them. The pictures she sent us were amazing. For her to be able to gain their trust so early is a tribute to her skills. We’ll definitely have Rachel back when the need arises. I highly recommend her. Thanks Rachel. We enjoyed our night out because of you.”
“Alisha was amazing. She took incredible care of our senior golden retriever and our cat. We received lots of photos every day and we came home to two happy and well taken care of babies.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra care, patience, and gentle handling they often need. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playtime, administering a routine, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will carefully follow your instructions to keep their routine consistent. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care that keeps both you and your pet happy. I’m currently working Monday through Friday, I work until 5:30pm so anything after that works for me, I would be happy to pet sit for you. Hi! My name is Rodney, and I’m a dependable, caring, and patient pet sitter who treats every pet like family. As a full-time work-from-home babysitter, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most safe and relaxed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union Mill
Hannah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! Both of our boys are pretty anxious and take some time to warm up to new people, but Hannah immediately put our minds at ease during the meet-and-greet. She took such great care of them throughout the day, and we loved getting the cutest update photos of our boys having a great time with her! 🐶❤️ Thank you again, Hannah, for taking such wonderful care of our dogs and allowing us to enjoy our day out of town without worrying. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for! We truly appreciate you! 🥰
My large pups were completely happy & at ease with Karli and visa versa. She did a great job caring for them. This is saying a lot because they are both under 2 years old & still learning to listen to commands, instead of chasing any interesting smell that hits their noses.
Alisha is wonderful!! This was our first big trip away from our boy and we felt so comfortable with him in her care. Lots of great updates and photos. We already have her booked for another upcoming trip and we’re so grateful to know our little man will be in such good hands. Absolutely recommended her!
Hannah was fantastic with my two pups! She was responsible, trustworthy, and a great communicator from start to finish. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my dogs were in such good hands while I was away. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got home. I’m super happy with the care she provided and will definitely be using Hannah again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
Hands down, the best sitter ever! My dogs absolutely adored her, she was incredibly trustworthy, responsible, communication was excellent, just the best! Sent tons of pictures, made moments when I missed my dogs easier by sending me candid pics and knowing my dogs were being genuinely cared for in my absence made my short trip not feel so long!!
Hayleigh is extremely responsible, quick to communicate, leaves my house immaculate and takes amazing care of my 2 dogs. They love spending time with her playing outside, which is evident from the pictures she sends and their happy tails when I get home. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Union Mill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Union Mill on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,806 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Union Mill. 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 Mill 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 Mill 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 Mill 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union Mill. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
