“Katie is a very friendly sitter who took great care of our 3 kitties and fish tank. She sent plenty of fun photos with each visit and included a detailed write up of how things were going with the girls. She also went above and beyond by taking out our trash on her last visit! We would be happy to have her in our home again, thank you for being so caring to our girls!”
“Andra was awesome and took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for six days. I don't even think our cats even missed us. We would definitely use her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am now a proud dog mom to my Frenchie, Hendrix! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I’ll care for them just like they’re my own. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates throughout the day. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and has two fenced-in grass dog parks, so whether your dog loves to play or prefers a slower pace, I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. If you have a Frenchie or another wrinkle-faced pup, they’re in good hands! My apartment has pet stairs to all the furniture, and I always keep wrinkle wipes, wrinkle paste, nose balm, and other Frenchie essentials on hand to keep those ADORABLE squishy faces happy and healthy. FOR OVERNIGHT BOARDING: All dogs must be up to date on their vaccines! My Frenchie, Hendrix, will be here too and I need to make sure he’s safe. Hendrix is incredibly friendly and loves making new dog friends. If your pup enjoys other dogs, they’ll have a built-in playmate. If they prefer to be the only dog, overnight boarding may not be the best fit—but I’m always happy to discuss other care options!🐾🩷 I work from home, and am only gone for a few hours in the afternoons on Tues-Thursday, which means I have the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pup and give them the attention they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I provide consistent updates, respect the home environment, and follow any specific instructions closely to make sure their furry family member is well taken care of. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or simply giving them some love, I’m dedicated to providing the best care possible!
“Alexandra was amazing with my high energy puppy and my cuddle bug dog. They loved their time with her. She completely put me at ease and made everything super easy so I could enjoy my time away. I'll definitely be calling her again.”
“Super communicative and so easy to work with! Went above and beyond for my old lady baby. As long as he’s available, Cameron is the only one I’d book for future visits.”
About: I grew up in a family with 6 or more animals all the time. Life would be so boring without animals! I also grew up on a farm with horses, donkeys, and chickens. I love all animals and would love to meet yours! I work a 9-5 but I make sure to dedicate lots of time for my animals (and yours!) I’m flexible with my time as well. I live right next to Forsyth park and a square downtown. I have lots of areas to let yours and my animals roam and get some outside time!
About: With 8 years of experience as a dog owner, I know how to make every walk enjoyable and full of care. Your pup will get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve with me as their walker. I’m reliable, attentive, and ready to create a fun adventure for your dog! I own and operate Firehouse Roofing with my husband, which allows me to work from home and maintain a flexible schedule. As a small business owner, reliability, communication, and professionalism are extremely important to me. My husband is a firefighter, and our family takes pride in serving our community with integrity and trust. Those same values carry over into how I care for every pet entrusted to me. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of trust. I provide a safe, loving environment while following your pet’s routine and care instructions.
About: I have grown up my entire life with a household full of dogs and cats, so I know what it takes to care for them and bring them happiness. I have a puppy of my own right now and know how particular I can be about certain things, so any special requests or needs will be met by me. I am an advocate for training and can ensure you I will follow your instructions carefully. I love going on walks and am an active person, no better companion than a pup. I give my undivided attention to each pet and will make sure you feel at ease while you are away. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well as shelter pets through fostering. I am free on the weekends to help take your pet out on a walk or a visit while you are traveling/busy. I enjoy being outside, why not include a furry friend! I will take them on long, but safe walks and provide a lot of water. If I'm visiting a home, I will be sure to always follow the owner's guidelines and make sure I leave the place better than I found it. Everyone will be happy!
About: Hi, my name is Gavin Schroen! I’m a 20-year-old sophomore Film Student at SCAD and a proud dog owner. I’ve cared for my dog, Calvin, for 14 years—from his playful puppy days to his senior years now—so I have hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life. That means I know how to handle high-energy pets who need lots of attention and exercise, as well as senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and care. What sets me apart is the level of dedication and understanding I bring to pet care. I know that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I make sure to give them the same love and attention that I give to Calvin. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I’m committed to keeping pets happy and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Living on my own allows me to dedicate time and attention to pets without major conflicts, making me reliable and adaptable to your needs. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so providing consistent care, safety, and attention has become second nature to me. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet ownership and make it a priority to create a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for every pet I look after.
“Even though he was unable to get in my house because I gave him the wrong key, he still checked on Cooky and Butler to make sure they were safe. Thank you so much for your dedication. I can't wait to schedule you again.”
About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting in the Metrowest now for about two years. Prior to that , I raised two large, mixed-breed dogs in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I have stellar references from many happy customers. I also enjoy photographing your pet and providing you with these pictures at no cost. As a former teacher, I am loving, patient and kind and utilize my teaching skills to help me communicate with animals as well as support basic training goals. The pet sitting fee covers a 24 hour period of which I am totally committed to your “baby.” I may leave the home for an hour or two to do one other dog walk, or pick up some groceries, but I would not be away from your dog for more than three hours max, or less as determined by a discussion with pet parents. If your dog needs less time, opening up my availability to add additional walks, I would consider lowering the fee. This would be determined on a case by case basis and after a discussion with the dog parents. Pet Sitting in the pet’s home provides animals with the comfort and security of following their daily routine and remaining in a secure and familiar environment, thus alleviating any anxiety they might suffer from your absence.
About: I am currently a student in Savannah and I have been around dogs since I was born. Being away from home I miss my own dog and would love to spend time with yours. I am comfortable around dogs of any size and I have been dog sitting and taking care of our family dog for almost ten years. I am currently working from home so I am free whenever because I make my own hours. If I am available for some reason I will be sure to let you know. When taking care of a pet in my clients home I will follow all the rules they state. I will play with the dog in your fenced in backyard or take the dog to the park to run around.

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 Garden City 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 Garden City 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 Garden City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
