“Laura took great care of my dog and my house. She sent lots of updates and followed all my instructions. Laura was very respectful of my home and left it as clean as it was prior to house sitting. I would definitely recommend using Laura for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was little, family and friends always relied on my family. Our pets are very special to us and we can't wait to meet new fur-friends. I have also worked for a professional pet-sitting service in the past. My family works from home so we are able to give them the attention they need. More time for cuddles, walks and play time of course. Our dog hangs out in the office with us while we work and yours will be welcome as well. I have a fenced in yard and pets are always welcome in our home. We can also crate our Jack boy while the pups are getting used to each other. Pets are allowed on certain furniture in the home. I work from home most days so I am able to provide your pet with plenty of bathroom breaks, exercise and attention throughout each day. We just built a home and do not yet have a fence, but we have access to a dog park nearby for safe play throughout the stay.
“Erica was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! She was so sweet and took great care of both of our dogs while my husband and I were out of town. She sent multiple updates with pictures of them throughout the day. She stayed at our house and the place was spotless when we returned. My dogs were very comfortable around her and got lots of cuddles while we were gone. I will definitely reach back out to Erica again when needed!”
“Jade was an absolute lifesaver. I booked her semi last minute for the Fourth of July and she immediately was able to come over the next day and meet my animals. Her communication was the best I’ve ever had. She sent so many pictures and videos of not only my animals but her playing and interacting with them. I eventually stopped checking my phone as often because I knew they were 1000% safe with her. They even looked like they were having the times of their lives. I will definitely be reusing Jade in the future!”
“Bradley and Stephanlee were amazing!! They stayed at our home for 9 days and cared for our bernedoodle. They were responsive, polite, and frequently sent us updates and pictures. We are so grateful for them and we were able to relax and not worry about our girl!! Definitely recommend.”
“Jeffrey was so great taking care of our dog, we got morning pictures and I felt so relieved we had him to watch Pete! He was also a super respectful house guest and helped us with some packages that came through. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”
“Sage was wonderful with our pets. We booked her to house sit and stay with our two dogs and two cats. She was very responsive while we were away and kept us up to date on our pets and how they were doing. We definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
“Philip was so accommodating with my schedule. My pup loved his care and company. Philip gos the extra mile for sure. Would highly recommend him to others and will be using his service in the future.”
“Meghan was amazing! Our dog loved her and she made sure he is comfortable and happy while we were gone. She sent us multiple updates with pictures of our sweet little pup. She followed all his feeding and walking routines to the t and communication was stellar. We couldn’t be happier. Our Shurik definitely found a new friend.”
About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.
“Victoria was great! She knew how to read my dog so well, made sure to understand his needs, and was communicative with updates. I will definitely use her again.”
“Andri did an excellent job watching my fur baby. She kept me informed of everything and communicated effectively. She knows her stuff when it comes to fur babies. Thank you Andri!”
“Lara was very responsive when setting up the visit and agreed to meet ahead of time to go over some of my pups quirks. She kept me updated throughout her stay and Jambo seems very happy and calm when I returned home. I would definitely book Lara again.”
“I can't say enough good things about Shalisha. From the moment we met, I knew my pets were in great hands. She went above and beyond to ensure my furry family members were well cared for, loved, and happy while I was away. She sent regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pets were relaxed and content when I returned, a true testament to the excellent care they received. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals, I highly recommend Shalisha. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Kendall was very communicative and reliable during her time watching our 9 year old lab. She sent pictures so we knew Trooper was enjoying his time with her. She was very easy to work with and dependable. Reccommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Unionville on Rover is $47.73 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 2,677 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Unionville. 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 Unionville 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 Unionville 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 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!
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.

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.
