“Janel has stayed at my places and watch my boy Ollie many times now. I am so thankful to have someone to trust while I’m away. She always leaves my home very clean and takes care of everything. I always know Ollie will be loved and well taken care of with her. I would recommend her over and over!”
“Katarinna did a great job taking care of our pup Ranger when we took a two week trip. She sent updates and pictures which were much appreciated. Katarinna also took care or our plants as well. We look forward to booking Katarinna again for our next trip.”
“Maggie and Willow are OUTSTANDING. I can’t imagine finding a better dog sitter for my senior dog. Pictures of fun times and walks everyday erased my anxiety about leaving him for our vacation! 10 stars!⭐️”
“I could see the love that Kylie had for animals when we first met with her. She came by twice in advance of our trip to get the dogs, especially Miller, comfortable with her. The only thing that keeps me from giving her 5 stars is that except for the first day, I had to initiate any check-ins with her. Once I did that, she sent pictures, updates, etc. She did say her messages were not going through but I would expect, since she had my number, she would send text updates. I hope she gets that resolved, as I would book with her again.”
About: I’m a dog (and cat!) mom looking for a fun way to keep myself accountable on my health journey! I’m a 41 year old mom to a teenage boy, a 9 year old yorkie mix (Severus), and 10 cats! I’ve been on a journey to better myself for the past year and one thing I make sure I do is get my steps in. I thought it would be a great idea to put myself out there to make some new dog friends and help keep me (and the doggos) getting our exercise in! I work full time from home Monday through Friday from 7am to 330pm. My walking availability is any time after my work day through the week, and open to anytime on the weekends. For sitting/drop ins, please inquire. For boarding, pets will be with me all day and night. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals, my house is full of love, treats and toys! If you book me for services, you can be assured that same love will be given to your furry friend. Feeding schedules followed as provided by pet parent to ensure your pup is getting the required amount of food. My dog eats freely except when I’m boarding as to not disrupt any schedules. I currently have one dog (Severus), who is a yorkie mix and 10 total cats, some indoor/outdoor/mix. Our home gets hectic but we love our animals and can’t imagine life any differently.
“Monica was great with my cat while I was away for over 2 weeks! I got lots of updates and pictures, she made sure he got his meds and plenty of cuddles, and I came home to a happy cat and a clean house. She was also very flexible and understanding when my travel plans got shifted and when my cat got a new prescription after I left. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Sabrina is absolutely amazing! She has watched our pups multiple times now and each time we get back home the boys are so happy. She sends great updates and I feel happy knowing the boys are with her! M”
About: I've owned dogs since high-school. I blessed to meet my soul dog 6yrs ago, but unfortunately lost him to cancer a year after we adopted him. Our current pup, Harley is a huge couch potato and loves kids... but she's my husband's doggo. I'm looking for families who can appreciate having a caretaker for their pets, who wants to be best friends with every dog and cat she meets and will love them like family. I work from home Monday- Friday. Which gives me lots of flexibility to provide care for your pets as needed. My job requires me to be detail oriented, good at multitasking and extremely reliable. All traits that I can bring into providing care for your furry best friend! I have great communication skills, can follow pet schedules as required for food/walks/potty breaks etc, and administer medication. As well as providing all the other important needs your pets might have, playtime, snuggles and treats!
“Rebecca did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter! She was flexible with my last minute changes and gave updates and pics. This helped my anxiety as my pup wasn’t feeling well when I left, so the reassurance was much appreciated!”
“Jamie was very attentive to our pets and sent us frequent updates and pictures! She even helped with a few things around the house while we were gone. Pretty sure our pets are going to be sad that she’s gone and we’re the ones coming home!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets since I was 6yrs old and have experience taking care of fish, hamsters, geckos, dogs and plenty more. I’m excited to provide dependable, loving care for your furry family members. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m organized, detail-oriented, and someone you can trust to follow instructions, communicate updates, and treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and provide them with the attention and care they deserve! I’m available during the day or overnight! Got a vacation coming up? Don’t worry, I got you! My schedule is consistent and I’m available weekends. I follow routines, and will accommodate to your pet’s needs. I can come to you so your pet can be in a familiar environment. Daily meds? I got it. Your pet’s health is my top priority. Please note that rates may vary depending on booking length, travel distance, number of pets, holiday dates, medication needs, special care instructions, and additional home care responsibilities. While house sitting, I’m also happy to help care for your home by bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, and taking trash or recycling bins to the curb upon request.
“Lauren was SO wonderful!!! I rarely need a dog sitter because I usually have family members in town, so I’m always a little nervous to have a sitter but I didn’t feel nervous or stressed for one second! My dog clearly loved her (I think she secretly likes Lauren better than me???). Lauren sent the perfect amount of pictures that made me know Jelly was safe and cared for and having the time of her life. Thank you Lauren you rule!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and love providing a safe living home where your animals feel loved and safe. I work from home as a software developer and have plenty of free time to give your fur babies the attention they need. Call me!! We have a full basement with plenty of room to run and play. We also have a backyard that we put our dogs and yours on a leash tethered to the fence to keep them from roaming. Also take frequent walks to stretch their legs!!
About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.
“Ann was wonderful with our dog. She was very responsive to messages, and updated us all day while she was watching him. She came by and met him a few days before, and was really understanding about him being skittish near new people. Would definitely recommend her, and hope to work with her again in the future! Thanks Ann!”
About: I don't see this as just pet sitting - I see it as caring for a beloved member of your family! After saying goodbye to my own dog after many wonderful years together, I realized how much I missed having a dog in my life. While I’m not quite ready for another of my own, I have plenty of love, time, and attention to give yours. Because I’m retired, I have a flexible schedule and can provide lots of companionship, walks, playtime and affection. I prefer caring for one family’s hypoallergenic dog at a time in my own home. Hi! I’m Linda, and I’d love to care for your dog like they’re part of my family. Dogs have been one of the greatest joys of my life. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog after many wonderful years together, I realized just how much I miss the daily companionship, wagging tails, walks, and unconditional love they bring. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog of my own, I’d love the opportunity to love on yours. Spending time with dogs truly feeds my soul, and it would be my privilege to provide your pup with a safe, happy, and loving home while you’re away. I’m retired from my corporate career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your dog. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or curling up for a nap, I’ll happily tailor their stay to their personality and routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because I’ve been in your shoes. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is being cared for with the same love, patience, and kindness I gave my own dogs. A little about me: • Lifetime dog owner and lifelong dog lover • Active lifestyle—I love walking every day • Non-smoking home • Calm, peaceful environment • I prefer providing personalized, one-on-one care so your dog gets my full attention • Happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or loves to cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home until you’re reunited. Because every dog deserves to be treated like family. ❤️🐾 When your dog is with me, they’ll receive: • Lots of love, attention, and companionship • Daily walks and playtime • A calm, safe, and comfortable home • Consistent routines based on your instructions • Plenty of cuddles (if they enjoy them!) • Daily photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because I’ve been in your shoes. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is being cared for with the same love, patience, and kindness I gave my own dogs.
“Thea was amazing! She was more than happy to stay with Sasha on short notice. She took great care of her and of the house. Thea was communicative, sent lovely pictures, and made me very confident my girl was in good hands. Highly recommend Thea to others!”
About: I have always been the go to in my family when pet care is needed when they travel. Cats, dogs and frogs. I am an aunt to humans as well and will be a good aunt to your pet. I was laid off and I have been doing different things while I figure out the next steps in life. I am home a lot during the day and evening as most of my side gigs are work from home so I could spend a lot of time with your baby. My apartment complex is pet friendly but I don't see a lot of dogs. I would leash the dog and take them around the property here for walks and bathroom breaks.

FAQs for House Sitting - Unionville Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,430 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Unionville Center. 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 Center 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 Center 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 Center 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.
