About: As a life-long animal lover, I've had the wonderful opportunity to take care of a variety of animals over the years. I personally have 2 shih tzus of my own, Archie and Chess; I formerly volunteered at adoption events walking dogs and caring for cats; and I have been trusted by friends & family to take care of their pets. I am currently a full-time student and work sparse hours. Consequentially, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days. Barring that, I surprisingly have very flexible availability! And no matter what, I will always prioritize your pet's care :) As a former house cleaner, I have years of experience taking care of others' homes! This has left a profound impact and, even in my personal life, I take the upmost care to ensure the spaces I inhabit are left a little better than I found it.

“Ashley was amazing with our cat sitting needs. Taking time to check food and water as well as changing out the litter box. She even took care of the plants that were in need of some water love during the heat!”

“When we returned for vacation, I noticed that my dog was well-trained. It seems that I not only hired a pet sitter but also a pat trainer. My neighbor informed me of her exceptional skills with my dog. Now they like to have her as pat sitter as well. She was very responsive and on time every time”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover who has 20 years of experience with high-need small breeds to larger pittie mixes. I have experience with medication management, fragile pets with mobility issues, anxiety and more. I work full-time from home so as long as I have a WiFi connection I’m in good shape. Plenty of time for walks and playtime I am available for walks, drop ins, day care or boarding in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard and literal miles of sidewalks and trails near me for walks. I offer run of the house for dogs who can do that, or safe smaller spaces for little ones. I have lots of experience with maintaining a safe environment for pets with anxiety, mobility issues or other conditions.

About: Hi! I'm Darling, and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. While I'm new to Rover, I've always loved spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'm responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddle time, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I know every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make sure each one feels comfortable and receives the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or plenty of playtime, I'm happy to work around their routine. I believe consistency is important, so I'll follow your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and at ease. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and exercise routines. I always keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Hi I’m Lauren! I am a personal trainer and yoga teacher and have also cared for clients’ cats, dogs and homes over the years, which has proved to be a fun and rewarding side gig! My parents have a mini dachshund who I adore and I have also owned guinea pigs since I was a child. I love rodents! I have also worked with numerous senior and special needs cats and dogs. I can make sure your home is neat and tidy, tend to your plants, and even provide an energy cleanse for your space! I work for myself part time so house sitting, drop-ins and walks work well for my lifestyle. I enjoy experiencing new critters, places and spaces so this work is overall a good fit for me! I think animals can feel that I’m a safe person. I’ve practiced yoga and meditation for over a decade and I think they recognize the vibe 😆 I make an effort to respect them as just other beings who I coexist with. I see our time together as mutually healing.

“Nicole was wonderful … very communicative and easy to work with. She followed care instructions perfectly and was very tolerant of some of our cat idiosyncrasies (peeing accidents outside the litterbox 😬) - cleaning up as needed. Her detailed updates reflected the thorough care she was providing - playing and interacting with our cats, understanding their personalities, along with usual care duties. Highly recommend - we look forward to using her again!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds for years, and friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pups like my own. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout both weekdays and weekends, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate boarding, daycare, and drop-offs or pickups as needed, and I do my best to make each pup feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home during their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take introductions slowly to help everyone feel safe. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, potty routines, crate routines, medications, and any care instructions you provide so your pup can have a smooth and stress-free stay. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel secure, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: Since I was born, my parents and my family have owned pets. From my birth my siblings have owned their own birds, we owned a Dove for multiple years and owned a Black Labrador from birth. I am a college freshman, who will be starting the school year soon and will not be going to school far. I'll be able to only work certain days in the week due to school. Scheduling can be discussed during the booking process. I will review the needs of the client pertaining to their individual needs and their pets individual needs before and during my visit with them.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with dogs has given me a lifelong love for animals and an understanding of how important it is to provide them with love, patience, and proper care. I’m currently the proud owner of a 1-year-old French Bulldog, so I have hands-on experience with the daily responsibilities of being a dog owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure my pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or prefers cuddles and relaxing, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give my own dog! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is in caring, responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I work only 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. On my days off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve! 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own! As someone who has grown up with dogs and currently has a 1-year-old French Bulldog, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on their regular schedule, plenty of playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of affection. In a client's home, I would follow their pet's normal routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always aim to be patient, attentive, and gentle. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while their furry family members are in my care. 🐾❤️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Unity

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 17,753 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Unity. 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 Unity. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
