“Michael, Wendy and their sweet family were amazing with our Charlie! We joked that he might be disappointed to get picked up! It was wonderful to have such peace of mind knowing our puppers was in great hands.”
“Sylvia is truly a “dog whisperer”. I was so worried about leaving our dog (who thinks he’s human) and she was incredible. I received daily updates and she literally transformed this dog from a protective alpha to a charming alpha. I adore her! She was made for this.”
“Thank you! Teaira and her family always take such great care of our pup! We travel a lot and having peace of mind that our baby is taken care of helps so much!”
“Katelyn was great with my Layla & Ginger! She was very responsive and sent pictures. I could tell from the pictures my dogs were being well cared for. I will certainly allow Katelyn to keep my dogs again!”
“Kimber and her loving family have instantly become like a second home for Ginger & Layla! Upon arrival for a meet and greet both my dogs acted like they already had been there and made themselves immediately at home! They were happy to see us when we returned, but Layla barked at us like we were strangers coming in the front door! It was a funny experience but a great sign my dogs were truly feeling at home! I highly recommend Kimber to anyone needing a pet sitter! She is so kind, welcoming, and provided superior with my dogs!”
“Jess is absolutely fantastic. This was our first time using Rover and Jess set the bar high. She is kind, accommodating, and courteous. She gave daily updates on our little buddy and I know that he was extremely pampered and well taken care of. Thanks so much again for everything Jess, and for getting us in last minute. You are the best!”
“My Golden Retriever Murphy had a great vacation staying with Alisa and her family. Alisa is very easy to work with, communicates well, and she leaves daily updates. I felt that Murphy was in good hands while I was gone for a week. Thank you, Alisa.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Kelly! She took such incredible care of our dog, Arlo, and it was clear from the start that she truly loves the dogs she watches. Kelly and her sweet dog, Deyo, made Arlo feel right at home, and knowing he was safe, loved, and so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We could tell Arlo had a wonderful time, and it meant so much to us to know he was being treated like part of the family. Kelly is kind, trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We will absolutely book with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!”
“This is my first time using rover or an app like this eve. We took a weekend trip to McCall and procrastinated getting a dog sitter. Staci was responsive and nice. When I got to her house, she was welcoming and very experienced with all sorts of animals. Tempi seems exhausted which is perfect because it means she had a blast! We will definite be using staci again for our dog watching”
“Allison and her family were AMAZING! I was anxious about leaving my puppy, but they immediately made him (and me) feel right at home. He had a blast. I was updated daily with lots of pictures. I’m so happy we found someone to love our pup while we are out of town, we knew he was in the BEST hands. We will definitely be booking again with Allison!!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Carrie and her son. He was there over New Years Eve and was freaked out by the fireworks. Carrie helped him through it by having her son lift Chance onto her bed to soothe him (he's a big dog and doesn't normally go on beds). He was tired and happy after his week with them. Thank you!”
“Colby and David are really nice people. They helped watch our Luna when we had to fly out the next day due to my father’s sudden passing. They went above and beyond in accommodating us and just being there for us. They are genuinely great rooms with big hearts”
“Shannon was fantastic with our pug Steve! Her communication was excellent and incredibly quick, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. She gave us peace of mind that Steve was in caring hands. Would recommend Shannon to any other dog parents.”
“Meghan is fantastic! Took great care of my boxer Charlie over the holidays. Sent picture updates and even dropped her off at my house, so she would be there when I got home. I highly recommend Meghan for your fur babies!”
“Kimberly accommodated us for a last minute booking, was super easy to work with and communicated very well. Dusty got sick while he was with Kimberly and made extra work for her, but she continued to provide great care for him despite the extra care he needed. We super appreciate Kimberly and would highly recommend her to anyone needing good care for their furry family members!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden City
My dog stayed with Amanda for a few days, and from the pictures and updates she sent me every day, I could tell he was receiving the same level of care and attention I would give him myself. She was also very responsive to my messages and followed all of his care instructions closely. My dog was in the middle of a food elimination trial, so I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone else. Thankfully, Amanda and her family took excellent care of him, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust Amanda to care for him again!
Emily did an amazing job with our 12.5 year old Vizsla. She treated her like a queen and took her on walks daily, gave her all the snuggles, and even let her sleep on her bed! I was afraid our dog might not want to come home! 😉 Emily was extremely caring and thoughtful and her communication was phenomenal. We definitely will book with her again!
We can't thank Andi and Tim enough! Their communication was amazing, and we loved getting regular updates and photos showing how happy our dog was. He settled right into their home and routine and he was so well cared for and loved while we were away. Highly recommend!
My regular sitter had an emergency arise at the last minute before a 10 day trip; I have a stubborn Frenchie, and a timid (and flight-risk) new rescued pup. Marie was able to take them in, sent updates daily that were really attentive to the dogs' personalities and needs --my rescue who was too nervous to eat and she worked to find something for her that finally coaxed her into having an appetite. Just the best.
Angela was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she communicated so well and took the time to answer all of my questions, making sure I felt completely comfortable leaving my tiny baby with her. Since Phoebe is only 3.5 lbs, finding someone I could truly trust was so important. Throughout her stay, Angela sent daily updates, photos, and thoughtful messages that reassured me Phoebe was safe, happy, and getting so much love and attention. It gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Phoebe had a fantastic stay, and we’ll definitely be back for more playdates. I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Garden City is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 per night. 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 529 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Garden City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Garden City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Garden City home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Garden City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Garden City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ID ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
