“Clarissa is the absolute best pet sitter! She loved on my babies and catered to them the entire time. I got lots of pictures. She made sure to stick to their schedule as close as possible. I couldn’t have asked for better care. She’s an absolute sweetheart and I am so grateful for her!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had dogs and cats in my home. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my daily routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, and providing attentive care so pets feel relaxed and secure in their home environment. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend a lot of time at home with pets and give them plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m best suited for pets who enjoy a calm environment and are comfortable relaxing in the home while I work. My goal is always to treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable while they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend a lot of time at home and provide consistent care and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime while making sure pets stay comfortable in their usual routine. I do work remotely and will most likely have occasional virtual meetings during the day, but I remain present in the home and attentive to the pets in my care. I prioritize a calm, safe, and structured environment for every pet I care for. I always follow the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime so they feel comfortable in their environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure pets receive attentive care, supervision, and plenty of companionship while their owners are away.
“Kaitlyn & Michael are amazing! They sent us pictures everyday of our pup & two kitties! Our big meat head of a dog LOVED Michael. They stayed at our house for a week & everything was spotless when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking & would highly recommend them! Thank you guys!!”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves to play, prefers a quiet routine, or needs a little extra patience, I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care. You can count on me to be punctual, communicative, and to treat your pets like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule and can tailor my visits to meet you and your pets’ needs. Anything from brief drop in visits, feedings, to longer visits with playtime and enrichment, or even overnight stays. I got you! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep you updated with messages and photos, and make sure your pet stays on their usual routine as much as possible. I take my time earning each pet’s trust and believe patience, consistency, and good communication make all the difference. I’m very conscious of toxic foods, safety hazards, and how to respond if an animal becomes reactive.
About: I've cared for the fuzzy family members of friends, family friends, and work friends for years. My own pets have been mostly senior rescues from owners who could no longer care for them. I have experience with medication, drop-ins, house-sitting, and more. I am currently an artist with open commissions, so my schedule is flexible and made for your pets. I usually crochet or draw when I care for lower-energy animals, and love playing with those with more energy. I am a no-shoes-in-house kind of person, and can bring separate house shoes if preferred. I am no stranger to cleaning up pet accidents. I keep to the living areas of the home, unless the pets are kept elsewhere, and provide a quiet presence for more introverted or timid animals. I ensure to adhere to the idea of "leave no trace", as though your home is the natural habitat for your pets.

About: Pet owner and lover for 30+ years. My husband and I have spent the last few years pet sitting across the country. We have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and geckos. We have settled down in Savannah and would love to continue spoiling and loving on fur babies. We have a fenced in yard and I walk a couple miles every day and would love a four-legged companion to walk with me. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep where they choose! My husband and I are both retired so our schedule will fit your schedule. Both of us are home most days and are rarely both gone. We have a fenced yard and walk a few miles a day. I would love to walk your pet as often as needed. Our home is a one story ranch and will be easy for your pet to get around.
“Payton watched our dog and three cats in our home for a week, and she did a wonderful job! All four animals seemed very comfortable with her right away, including our large puppy and skittish cat who requires daily medication. Payton was reliable and responsible, and we look forward to having her house sit again in the future.”
“Melissa was amazing! She took such great care of our pets & looked after the house while we were on vacation. She gave me great peace of mind and sent detailed reports with pictures everyday. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had my own cats since I was 9 years old, as well as my families dog that I would frequently take on walks and watch while my parents were at work when I’m back in town. Growing up I was always the go-to pet sitter for my cul-de-sac as pretty much everyone me knew how much I loved animals. Nowadays I help out my friends with their pets when they need it (cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles of various ages). I am a quick learner and always aim to make sure the animals feels as safe and comfortable as possible. I am currently a full time student, however I still have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I am available Friday-Sunday most weeks, before 11am or after 2pm on Tuesdays/Thursdays, and before 11am or after 5pm on Monday/Wednesday. My schedule is also very flexible if we need to work something out! I unfortunately am unable to keep animals at my residence, but I am more than happy to come by your place and recreate your typical care schedule!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Garden City on Rover is $38.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 620 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:
- 90% 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.
