About: I have been pet / house sitting for the past 4 years throughout college. I have provided in-home care for dogs with separation anxiety, as well as cared for multiple larger dogs at once. I can make it happen! I currently work part time so afternoons (after 1pm) are almost always available. Mornings would need a week or two notice in advance. This includes weekends as well. I currently live in a studio with my own cat. Smaller dogs are welcome but arrangements would need to be made for a larger dog.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and I love to take them for walks or just entertain them! I am a Registered Nurse and what better way to fill my time then getting to hangout with animals and make some extra money! I am very careful, protective, I love being outside, and I would take good care of your pets! I live downtown Savannah. I have a house that is dog friendly with a huge fenced in backyard perfect for letting them play! Thank you
“Brooke is fantastic! I was so sad to leave my 4 month puppy for the day but knowing that Brooke was stopping by visits put my mind at ease. We have already rebooked! 10 out of 10 recommended”

About: Never in my life have I NOT had a dog. I have raised several large breed dogs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs (adult puppies). Nothing makes my day better than knowing my dog has had a good day. When I’m off from work I will be at home for the entire day. We have a fenced in back yard and dog park in my community. I love playing with the pups in our yard as well as walks at the end of my wife’s shift. (She works from home) Your pup will be right at home. They will have access to any room furniture etc in our home just like our pups. Our pups enjoy company and new friends to play with. Will be sure to send your pup home happy and tired.
About: I have experience with all kinds of pets including small dogs, giant dogs, cats, and reptiles and I love them all. I have also been a babysitter for many years, which has given me lots of experience working in other residencies! I am mostly free during the weekday evenings especially for extended visits. I am also available on weekends to do stop by visits and walks! I care for pets by giving them love, energy, and any necessities they need. Whether you have a ball of energy, or a couch potato (like my own) I will meet them where they are and give them some extra love when you are unable to.
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: Growing up, animals have always had a special place in my heart. While I’m a responsible and hardworking person, I take pet sitting further with a deep sense of empathy and love for your furbabies. Whenever friends or family needed a sitter, I was the first person they’d call. I’m communicative, flexible, and responsive and can promise you your pet will be in the best hands! I’m currently unemployed and will soon be a student at SCAD with a light schedule. I have my own car and am happy to show up for last minute or in advance requests, with very open availability. I’m more than happy to work with you to accommodate your needs! Your home is your safe and private place, and I will treat it with the upmost respect and care. As for pet care, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines to keep them comfortable and stress free. I also send frequent photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and loved!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 3-year-old Border Collie, so high-energy dogs are very much my thing. We hike every day, and I’m comfortable keeping up with dogs who need real exercise and stimulation—not just a quick lap around the block. My schedule is very flexible outside of work, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m typically off one weekend day and one weekday, and I’m usually finished with work by 5 PM. I also have very few competing commitments, so I’m able to be flexible and dependable with the dogs in my care. I hike with my own dog every day, so getting outside and keeping dogs active is already a regular part of my life. I’m happy to build walks, hikes, drop-ins, or other care around each dog’s routine and needs. I keep things simple and follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with everything from walks and daily hikes to feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and downtime. When caring for a dog in their home, I follow your instructions and their established routine rather than disrupting it. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to your dog, and consistent about keeping them exercised, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. For active dogs, getting outside is a big part of my routine—I hike with my own dog every day, so I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need a ton of exercise and stimulation.
“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: Grew up around animals my whole life and a professional pet groomer that can offer grooming services. Can’t wait to love your furry family members. I work from home during the week and can stop by and take your pets out for walks during the day or stay at home with them. I love going on walks and welcome furry animals to come along! There’s room for a crate to keep them safe at night. Always going the extra mile to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve had animals in my life ever since I was a kid! From dogs, cats, goats, rabbits etc! I have always been the “stay at home mom” when it comes to my babies and I enjoy every minute! I love animals so much! I have taken care of a lot of other people’s animals before and I always enjoy the time spent with there fur babies! I always do my best to do whatever the care taker wants for there pets! I’m free all summer and this will be my full time job! Unless a emergency occur then I will not be available, but that shouldn’t happen (at least I hope not 😭) I treat all my animals with the love and respect they deserve! I have 3 dogs, 1 cat, a bunny and a lot of other farm animals lol! I feed them 3 times a day and make sure their water is always full, I have a LOT of toys and treats for them (they are soooo spoiled!) and they have 4 comfy dog beds, a big yard to run in and intimate belly rubs!
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 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.
About: I have experience in pet care for 15+ years and currently work for a pet care company in Savannah that I used to manage for! I currently dedicate 100% of my work time to pet care!! Pet care is my full time job and I’m extremely passionate about caring for all kinds of pets!☺️ I am well acquainted with how important timing can be for babies especially those who need to go outside to potty breaks ASAP or have medication needs! I have experience pilling animals and giving injections as needed! I have worked with special needs cats before, and pride myself on befriending even the most difficult babies, though I feel they are only difficult because they need more time to trust people☺️💖

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garden City. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
