About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for basically my whole life! I have always had a passion for them and I even have 3 of my own. I also love going on walks, so my love for dogs goes hand in hand with that! I have done a lot of volunteering at a few different Nashville animal shelters, so I pretty much have worked with all different ages of dogs. Whether they’re puppies or older, I’m always happy when I get to brighten their day! I’m currently on summer break before college, so I will have plenty of time for your dog! Daytime is better for me for walking, so around 10 am through 4 pm is ideal. For a clients home, I’m pretty good at making sure your dogs needs are met. With my own dogs, we have a routine for everyday to keep everything running smoothly. If needed, I’m able to put your dog in the crate and any other specifics like those. Just let me know your dogs specific schedule and I know that I can make it happen!
“This is my second time booking with Dewayne and he is absolutely great. This was a last minute booked I needed and Dewayne came to the rescue. He even went out of him way to do my dishes so I came home to a clean house. Thank you so much!”
“Sara just finished up another sit for our kitties. She is always prompt and communicates well. She even puts up with our grumpy old man kitty who is no peach! We already have her booked for more upcoming trips.”
About: I grew up surrounded by all different types of pets. Having had mostly rescue animals, I have plenty of experience dealing with pets who may be slow to open up due to their pasts. I’ve learned how to problem-solve in emergency situations, practice patience with pets who may not be fully trained, and take care of sick animals who may require medicine administration. I am a part time student, but during June through August, I will be available most days and times! In the fall I will update my availability. I’m familiar using lots of animal equipment such as crates, puppy gates, etc. I’m a very thorough direction follower and will be sure to treat your space and pets with the respect they deserve!
About: I have experience with all types of dogs!! I've worked at the barkers lounge while I lived in Charlotte, and in Winston Salem I have had over 2 years experience working at Ruff Housing and mount tabor boarding and grooming, and down here I've worked at Barks doggydaycare and I am currently at a grooming facility close by! I absolutely love being able to work with animals allowing the owners to be worried free while your fur babies are in my care! From running around with them to just loving up on them its such a blessing to be able to work with a smile on my face while making them feel comfortable and happy. Since I've worked there I now know the basics of how to calm a dog down, recognize when they feel scared or happy and know when to let them take a break from playing . I also learned a lot of behavior from different types of dogs as well as how to play with them so that I'm not to rough or soft with them. I moved down to Pooler to he with my fiancé from winston salem North Carolina! I currently work as a dog groomer so my days at work are usually 6-8 hours Wednesday- Saturday. But don't worry, my fiance will be home Wednesday and Thursday to help give kisses and pets when needed! Sunday- Tuesday Ill be able to love on your pets all day! My mornings usually start around 7 with a 15 minute walk and breakfast! As soon as I get home a longer walk happends followed by dinner for the pets! I live in a luxury apartment so I will be able to take your pet to the park, go on nice long walks and come right inside to the cool ac air!
“Jana is absolutely wonderful. We have three cats and one is a scaredy cat. Jana made sure to give all three lots of attention during her stop ins. She is wonderful at communicating and documenting her visit to give us peace while we are away. Thank you!”
About: I've had a Yorkie Terrier Mix (Tico) since I was about eight years old and would consistently take care of him while home. My tasks consist of frequent walks to ensure fitness, meals twice a day, a snack or two if he's being good, and making sure he looks handsome and is clean. I would also frequently take care of local friends pets and homes while away on vacation! I grew up taking of my dog Tico since I was about 8 years old and have taken up that responsibility since then! Ever since moving away I’ve missed getting to spend time with furbabies! If hired for services, I will ensure that I will take care of your home and pet as I would mine. I know as a furry friend lover myself, I want to make sure my pet is not only safe but happy while being taken care of.
About: Hello, it’s nice to meet you, I’m Austin! I grew up in South Florida and was raised with animals from a very young age (multiple dogs, cats, and geckos). I’ve always loved animals with a passion and genuinely enjoy being around them. Sadly, I don’t have any animals of my own but that’s why I love this job! It brings me joy watching them play at the park, taking them on walks/hikes & cuddling with the pups. My Aunt Heidi and I have fostered multiple dogs who were severely neglected; and rejuvenated them back to their old happy self. I played baseball my entire life up through college. So if have an energetic and adventurous pup, I’m more than capable of taking them on a long walk. As cliché as it may sound, animals bring me joy and allow me to stay distracted from other stressors. Anytime I can be around animals, I'll be the first to raise my hand. My weekly routine is very flexible. Please feel free reach out with any questions. I treat all animals with love and care as if they were my own. We have a common area outside where dogs can do their business. I ensure they always have water & food (when approved by owner) and any medication they may need. I'm extremely observant to any stressors the animal may be experiencing and act accordingly. I'll follow any instructions you leave me precisely and update you as frequent as you'd like me to.
About: I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my boyfriend’s dog and cat, so I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. As a college student, I’m responsible and reliable, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐶🐱 Pet care fits well into my routine as a side hustle alongside my part-time job. I’m good at managing my time and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and sitting depending on the day. I make sure every pet gets my full attention and never overbook, so your pet’s care is always a priority. I provide care in my client’s home since I live in a dorm. I always follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m careful about safety, keep doors and gates locked, and make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and treat them like my own. 🐶🐱
“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets and just care for their loved one. I enjoy playing and making your pet feel loved. Taking your loved one (animal) on long afternoon/nightly walk would would be peaceful and enjoyable. Your loved one (animal) will enjoy the breeze and just have a relaxing walk/play date. I have a fenced yard, if your instructions require for crating I will do so. I will be with your loved one (animal) every minute until my visit is over.
“Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of my boy! She came and met him beforehand and he seemed really happy in the pictures she sent. She was right on time and communicated well! She even left us a thank you bag with a new toy and treats!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 years; I have owned dogs myself in the past and began pet sitting when I was 15, and I care for all breeds and sizes. I have trained two of my own dogs in the past: a long-haired Chihuahua and a Labrador retriever. I care for all dogs and pets as if they were my own. Pets are extensions of our bloodline, and I truly understand that I'm currently a College student, and I fit in pet-sitting between my classes and during my weekends. At my school, we have Fridays off so I have a full weekend to have time to care for pets! I currently live in a dorm room with roommates on my college campus, so I am not offering pet services at my house at this moment due to space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Garden City is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,050 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Garden City. 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.
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 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.
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 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.
