“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.
“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.”
“Kaitlyn (and her partner) were so incredibly patient with our little chihuahua mixes. We received plenty of pictures and videos, and we knew our babies were receiving a lot of love. One of our dogs is deaf and very skittish, and he warmed up to them quickly. We definitely recommend Kaitlyn!”
“Emily was wonderful with our two dogs and our home. She sent tons of photos and videos throughout the trip. She left our home in tip top shape which was so nice to come home to after a long travel day. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Julie was amazing, Our gang loved her.. we have two cats and a dog and she took wonderful care of them and our home.. Plenty of pics and vids to know everyone was doing well. Her communication skills are really made us feel at ease . Could not recommend her more!!!!”
“Melissa was excellent with our three dogs! She handled everything perfectly, and even with two of them being foster puppies who are barely trained. She was patient, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We came home to happy, relaxed pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter!”
“We had the best experience! She was so sweet, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Our pup can sometimes get pretty anxious when we leave, to the point where he doesn't eat, so we always worry a little when we travel. This time, he ate his meals normally and seemed happy and settled, which speaks volumes. He must have felt so safe and secure in her care. We’re incredibly grateful and would trust her again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Had a great experience! Alexis was very patient with our nervous dogs and gave all of them a lot of attention! We received a lot of feedback and pictures. Will definitely be using them again!”

“Ivy did an amazing job watching our 2 big dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. They seemed to be very happy with her and are already asking when she can come back! Thank you ivy!”
“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.”

“Bruni is amazing. My dog Sophie couldn’t have been happier and in better care. Bruni sent me pictures and videos which calmed my mind. Sophie has bad separation anxiety and I saw no sign of it while she watched her. Thank you so much for being so attentive to her. I would definitely use her again!”

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.
