“Anna has been such a blessing while my husband and I were on vacation! She gave countless updates including pictures, videos, and updates/summaries of her time with our babies! One of my dogs is a rescue with some serious trust issues and anxiety, over the course of the week we were gone we got to see through pictures as she continued to open up to Anna and build trust in her. My nervous girl has even begun to be excited to see her and lay in bed with her. I will 100% be using Anna’s services in the future if I ever need someone that we can trust to watch our babies again. Anna has been so accommodating and helpful. I have felt so comfortable with her staying in our home, and her watching and loving on my two dogs and one cat. I would recommend her to everyone!! Cannot say enough good things!!”
“Arden was great taking care of our dogs and cat. She stayed in the nighttime to ensure that our dogs were ok and not in need of emergency potty situations that can sometimes occur. She walked the dogs, sent pics and they were all happy and fine when we got home. House was great and everything went smoothly! Using her again the end of the month!”
“Kaitlyn was great! We needed someone to care for our boy last minute, and she came through for us and was so kind! She sent pictures and put my mind at ease. We will definitely use her again!”
“Julie was fantastic! She took the best care of our furbabies (who have special needs) and made us feel at ease while we were away. We knew our babies were in good hands and that allowed us to enjoy our trip to the fullest. She is a great communicator and truly cares for your pets as her own. We will definitely be booking her again!!”
“McKenzie was great! She loved on Wren and sent pics and updates throughout the weekend. She was very accommodating as we have a high energy dog that needs 2 long walks a day and can’t be left alone for too long. We can’t wait to use her again.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, from medium to large, and lived with and cared for cats for many years. Animal care is a huge passion of mine, which is why I’ve cared for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I am able to house watch and walk dogs, and care for both elderly and young dogs and cats. I work a part time job, and have time in my weekends and weekdays to care for pets from house watching to walking. We can work out whatever fits into that schedule. I can do extra tasks needed to keep a home maintained and make sure your pets are happy and healthy. Whether that’s chores or medication, specific eating or potty times, and so on.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years and have experience with pets of all ages and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand how important routines, patience, and plenty of love are to keeping pets happy and comfortable while their families are away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering oral medications, and giving extra attention to pets who may be shy or anxious. I treat every animal as if they were my own and will provide updates and lots of care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule. I work from home and can do my work remotely. I can provide morning, afternoon, and evening visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will do my best to keep them on their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, keep pets securely leashed or contained as directed, and respect their routines and boundaries. In your home, I’ll maintain a calm, clean environment and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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.
“Sara did an amazing job with our pups giving us updates throughout her stay, and with our home. Everything that was asked of her was done to perfection and we couldn't of have any one better to watch our little babies.”
“Kiersten took care of our 10 week old puppy whom we were hesitant to leave for a beach day. She responded quickly to a last minute booking and took excellent care of our puppy as well as our Suite and immediately put us at ease. Highly recommend and will be booking again in the future for our next Savannah visit.”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10 years old. I have a Maltese, a Jack Russell, and a Pit Bull. All three of them are seniors, and I make sure they are comfortable and adjusting to aging. I am also well-versed in puppy care and have taken care of dogs of all ages, kept them entertained, and made sure they were happy. I am currently an online English tutor, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies. My weeks are structured, but I have flexibility. I make sure my pets are safely secured on their leashes before every walk. That they have what they need: water, treats, and doggie bags for cleanup. Making sure there are no electrical cords or anything else they could chew on. Double-checking they have food and water and are comfortable.
“We are happy to provide a magnificent recommendation for Alexis who recently provided in-home pet and house sitting services for me over an eight-day period. Throughout the engagement, she demonstrated a high level of professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. My dog was exceptionally well cared for receiving consistent exercise, proper feeding, and attentive companionship. It was evident upon my return that my pet was comfortable, healthy, and had been treated with genuine care. In addition, she maintained my home in excellent condition. The property was clean, orderly, and well-managed, reflecting a clear respect for my space and expectations. Communication was consistent and reassuring, with regular updates that provided confidence and peace of mind during my time away. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to engage Alexis again for future services and offer my full recommendation to others seeking a dependable and trustworthy pet and house sitter.”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats all my life. Getting my first dog Truffles five years ago and added four cats since then to our family! I am taking my final class online and besides that I’m very free. I live my long-time girlfriend who would be able to take care of my pets at home if I needed to stay the night. I can easily drive to any areas in the Savannah area. I have safely walked and take care of many dogs of all sizes. I will treat your pets like my own no matter the species.
“Lauren took exceptional care of our 2 fur babies! She was super responsive and even took the time to come and meet our pups before watching them. She had great communication skills letting us know when she was with our pups and how they were doing. I would highly recommend using Lauren when looking for your next pet sitter! We will be using her again!”
“Absolutely outstanding! Mary Frances took quality care of our pups and our home. She kept us updated consistently and was very thorough with care instructions. Will definitely rebook!”
“Michelle stayed for a week in our home and she took care of everything I asked and more for our 4 dogs. It was really comforting to know my dogs were well take. Care of in their own home while we were away.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Garden City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Garden City on Rover is $38.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 625 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Garden City. 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 Garden City 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 Garden City 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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garden City. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
