“Madelynn took care of my cat Lucien for 19 days. I had never left my cat for so long before and was overly worried, especially about finding a sitter willing to commit. She made me feel at ease my entire trip with really good pictures and videos, stayed on top of litter and other chores, and provided daily play time. Will definitely be booking again next time I leave town. 10/10”

“Thank you Alisha for taking good care of Edward. I had a death in my family that took me away really quickly. I appreciate how open and ready you were to jump in to protect him. I would definitely use Alisha again!”

About: Hi, I’m Toccara! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds like dogs, cats, birds, bunnies. I have officially been pet sitting since I was 16 and have also been working at a dog daycare for the past four months, where gained lots of experience with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am currently working part-time at my job. On days that I am off from work I usually have a very open schedule past 10am and can always make discussion on what you prefer!! When caring for pets in my home I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I pay attention to their individual needs and personalities. I treat every dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of affection and care. I am gentle, patient, and attentive and have especially learned these things from working with dogs. and would never do anything to harm an animal. Working at a dog daycare also helped me learn about different sickness and what to look out for dogs when something isn’t right or if they need medical attention.
“Katie is such a loving and caring pet sitter. She took great care of our cats while we were away, and left us with extensive details and lots of pictures from each visit. They were in great hands with her and can’t wait to see her again over Christmas!??”

“I recently booked Brandy and couldn’t be happier. She scheduled a meet & greet first so my two fur babies could feel safe with her, which I really appreciated. She’s always on time, friendly, and you can tell she truly loves my pets by how she interacts with them. I’ve already booked her again and will keep using her. If you want someone reliable and caring, definitely choose Brandy!”

About: With 8 animals of my own and 4 years of experience as a kennel tech, I am confident I've seen it all! Reach out today! I am currently a student attending SCAD, so when I'm not in class pet care will be my top priority! As a film student, I am working on set most weekends, however during the week in between classes I am totally available. My schedule varies by the day, but I am absolutely confident we can talk and create a routine that you and your pet will feel good about! I really appreciate when clients tell me what kind of schedule their pets are used to. I like to do whatever is most comfortable and helpful to them and their owners. I like to be very by-the-book, I believe wholeheartedly the owner knows what’s best for their pet!
About: Since I was born, I’ve always had a dog or a cat in the house with me, and I have my own cat now. I have been responsible for a variety of dogs, from including my parents’ great dane to a friend’s dachshund. they go out or stay at work late. I have experience in walking, feeding, and playing with their pets! I have also volunteered at an aquarium and insectarium and have experience in more “exotic” pets such as snakes, spiders, or hissing roaches. Unfortunately, I am not in a situation where I can readily accept other pets into my place of living. I have a small apartment, and my own cat, who unfortunately dislikes other animals :( I have a pretty flexible schedule as I am currently a graduate student who works from home half the week! I usually go into the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, however, my lab is very flexible! As I am not currently taking pets in my own home, I mostly conduct drop ins and walks. During drop ins I like to first bring dogs outside if applicable to play with them for a bit before going inside to eat! For cats, I like to sit with the cat for a little bit and try to play with them before feeding and litter box cleaning!

About: My whole life I’ve had multiple pets in the home, growing up I had 3 cats and 2 dogs. I currently have a puppy and a cat, I raised the puppy from 4 weeks old to 8 months old. I have experience fostering all kinds of pets especially cats. My career as a pet groomer is centered around dogs and their behaviors, so I have ample experience with all different breeds and behaviors. I work full time as a pet groomer so I’m constantly around pets! I currently have a 8 month old Chihuahua mix and a 1 year old tabby cat and absolutely adore having them around. I’m off all day Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and would be available all day! I would be able to help out after 6:30 the rest of the weekdays! I will make sure your pet is in their own comfortable environment and follows their regular routine! I have both of my pets on a schedule for eating, exercise, play time and sleeping. All pets need stimulation and companionship, so I prefer to play with your pet for a while and keep them company for as long as you need. I’m not just there to feed the pet, but also provide your pet with comfort and care while making sure they’re getting enough mental stimulation!
About: I have grown up my entire life with a household full of dogs and cats, so I know what it takes to care for them and bring them happiness. I have a puppy of my own right now and know how particular I can be about certain things, so any special requests or needs will be met by me. I am an advocate for training and can ensure you I will follow your instructions carefully. I love going on walks and am an active person, no better companion than a pup. I give my undivided attention to each pet and will make sure you feel at ease while you are away. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well as shelter pets through fostering. I am free on the weekends to help take your pet out on a walk or a visit while you are traveling/busy. I enjoy being outside, why not include a furry friend! I will take them on long, but safe walks and provide a lot of water. If I'm visiting a home, I will be sure to always follow the owner's guidelines and make sure I leave the place better than I found it. Everyone will be happy!
“Andra was awesome and took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for six days. I don't even think our cats even missed us. We would definitely use her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am now a proud dog mom to my Frenchie, Hendrix! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I’ll care for them just like they’re my own. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates throughout the day. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and has two fenced-in grass dog parks, so whether your dog loves to play or prefers a slower pace, I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. If you have a Frenchie or another wrinkle-faced pup, they’re in good hands! My apartment has pet stairs to all the furniture, and I always keep wrinkle wipes, wrinkle paste, nose balm, and other Frenchie essentials on hand to keep those ADORABLE squishy faces happy and healthy. FOR OVERNIGHT BOARDING: All dogs must be up to date on their vaccines! My Frenchie, Hendrix, will be here too and I need to make sure he’s safe. Hendrix is incredibly friendly and loves making new dog friends. If your pup enjoys other dogs, they’ll have a built-in playmate. If they prefer to be the only dog, overnight boarding may not be the best fit—but I’m always happy to discuss other care options!🐾🩷 I work from home, and am only gone for a few hours in the afternoons on Tues-Thursday, which means I have the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pup and give them the attention they need! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know how they’re doing, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for!

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 1,079 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
