Sara is amazing!!! She took great care of Taco. She eased the anxiety of being away from him by sending constant pictures and text updates. And taco loves her!!! He’s always happy to see her—will definitely book again!!

About: Hi Pet Parents! I’m a teacher and #dogmom to a cuddly rescue chihuahua mix, looking to pet sit part time in our community. I grew up with cats and dogs and have many years of experience caring for them. I work as a teacher part time and am looking to round out my weeks caring for fur babies. I have more availability in the summer. I do have a fenced in yard if your dog gets along with other dogs. My dog is about 13 lbs. and loves other dogs once she gets to know them.

Kelsey was fantastic! I needed a new dog sitter last minute so we could go to a wedding that night, and she not only accepted the job, but came over in the afternoon for a lengthy meet and greet. My 1 1/2 year old pup is 75 lbs and very strong, and I had no worries that she could handle him even if they ran in to other people and dogs on their walk. Rocky took to her right away, and we were able to relax and have fun at the wedding. Thanks Kelsey!

About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.

About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

About: My family has had dogs my entire childhood and currently have 2 of my own and they bring such joy to one's day. One of my dogs is 14yrs old so I have experience in caring for older pets and my other dog is a couple years old with a ball of energy so if you have pets with high energy, I'm very prepared to either know how to calm them down or match their energy for a day of fun! I work a 9-5 M-F but I'm happy to stop by after work for feeding, walks, or quality hang-out time. On weekends, I'm fully available and ready to be your pets best friend! I take the time to follow all care instructions to a tee and will be respectful of your home keeping everything clean and organized while you're away. Sadly, I'm not able to bring pets back to where I live, as one of my dogs get anxious around other pets, but I'm more than happy to provide care in your home with my drop-in visits which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy and comfortable in a familiar space. I'm available mostly on the weekends as I work a full time job but I can drop in for feeding after work during the week. If your dog needs to be in a crate after visits, I can make sure to do that. I bring a very calm energy so if your pets have any kind of anxiety, I can always make them comfortable and calm them down to reassure them that they are safe and cared for.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I will treat your pet as one of my own! :) I will listen to your instructions perfectly. I take my work seriously and will provide the best care possible for your pet. This includes walking, feeding, playing, and anything else you need from me related to your pet’s care. I am currently working a full time job and am a graduate student, so check my calendar to see when I am free. We should be able to work something out. I am able and willing to take care of your pet on weekdays in the early morning and after work (typically after 4 or 5 pm). On Saturdays and Sundays, I am free all day to take care of your pet. The safety of your pet and the trust that you and I have are extremely important to me. If there are specific tasks I should not do, please let me know. Typically, I will feed your pet as per instructions, play with them, and take them on walks (I will ask you how long of a walk). We will discuss and go into detail on your pet’s care.

About: I had a childhood cat named Sophie since I was born. We grew up together and she was definitely the reason I knew I wanted to work with animals because I enjoyed helping them so much. I have experience in an extremely busy environment both at an ER and at a dog daycare. I loved working at the Vet and can’t wait to get back to it! I’m on a break from school and want to keep working with animals but give myself a small break from schoolwork and animals are the best mental health tool. I can’t wait to get to know your baby and create a safe, fun and loving environment for them. I am currently on a break from college until I go do my practicum experience at Penn vet hospital is philly. I’m not working during the days right now, I spend them with my cat and would enjoy having a fun baby to take a walk with or just play with! I have a long haired tuxedo cat named juliet. When i’m home from school we have a lot of fun during the day since my family works. She’s so sweet and never fails to make me laugh or to catch random zoomies mid nap. I feed her in the mornings and clean her litter box during the day.

About: I’ve always treated dogs like part of the family, not just pets. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a home environment where they get real attention, affection, and care…not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. They have a huge back yard to enjoy running around with their tongues hanging to the ground lol! We usually bathe them outside before heading in on hot summer days. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of supervision to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for at all times I currently have three small, well-socialized dogs who are friendly and enjoy meeting new dogs. Any dog in my care becomes part of our routine and is treated like family. Our day starts around 6 AM with the first potty break, followed by consistent outdoor time every 3–4 hours. I have a backyard, so the dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor play, along with daily walks for exercise and stimulation. I keep a structured but relaxed environment. My dogs are on a routine that includes feeding schedules, treats, and basic obedience reinforcement like sit, stay, and lay down. This helps create a calm, balanced atmosphere where all dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and well-managed home where your dog feels like they belong

Nataliia is wonderful with our pup! She always updates us on how she’s doing, sends pics and we never worry about the wonderful care she is getting! Natalia feeds, changes water, walks and plays with our girl and we appreciate her so much. She even lets us know our kitties are being good while a friend is stopping in for them. We highly recommend Natalia to all pet owners who need peace of mind for their fur babies.

Jennifer is so amazing! When I first moved to the area I was nervous to find another dogsitter, because one of my dogs is really timid with new people. My dog loved Jennifer immediately!! She was also so great when we got our new puppy and put my mind at ease knowing I can trust her to take great care of my pups :)

Last minute dog care and she was wonderful! She even helped pick up some items that fell outside the house due to a storm while we were away. Plus she communicated anything that she had concerns about our house we were out of town. Very detailed reports and cute pictures of our doggie :) 100% recommend and definitely use her again!

10/10!! Ally took the time to come meet my pup Jax prior to her first visit so we made sure he and she were comfortable! She takes him on adventures to different parks and bodies of water so he can let his energy out while his momma works! And she is always sure to send pictures, videos, and all updates! Happy pup, happy life!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Unionville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Unionville on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,489 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Unionville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Unionville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Unionville 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Unionville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Unionville. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
