About: As someone who loves staying active and spending time outdoors, transitioning into dog walking was an easy choice. I know how important regular exercise and mental stimulation are for a dog’s health and happiness, and I’m here to make sure your pup gets exactly what they need while you’re busy or at work! I have full, open availability every day of the week to provide in home doggie daycare and boarding. Because I am home throughout the day, your pup receives continuous company, flexible potty breaks, and reliable care without being left alone for long stretches. Pet sitting is my primary daily focus, so your dog’s routine, meal times, and exercise schedule will always come first. My home is a calm, quiet, and secure space tailored for small to medium dogs up to 40 pounds. I have a huge soft spot for little pups... especially Chihuahuas!! I understand how sensitive they can be to loud environments or larger animals. I keep my space clean, pet proofed, and peaceful so guest dogs can settle in quickly. I provide close supervision at all times, follow your exact feeding and medication guidelines, and send frequent photo and video updates so you always have total peace of mind.
“I love her. First time leaving my Stormi but i was comfortable that she was in good hands. Always want someone that my pup would relax with. She was really calm when I picked her up. I will book with Jalyn again.”
“Rodney was a great sitter. He gave Toby a lot of exercise and attention. His two cats are very used to dogs; they all got along. I would not hesitate to have him take care of Toby again.”
“Andrew was a great choice to care for Toby. We went on a two-week international adventure, where cell reception would be spotty. It was good to know that Toby would be with very responsible sitters, given that we could not be in touch all the time. Thank you for peace of mind.”
“Tiffany was my main point of contact and she was so sweet and caring with my senior (14yo) husky mix Molly. I received updates each day morning, and night, and she took my Moll Doll on tons of walks. Molly got to sleep on furniture and I can tell she had the time of her life in the new comfy environment. It was such a relief knowing that she was so well loved while I was away that now I feel like I need to take her back for visits to her new favorite home away from home.”
“Snickers hadn’t stayed at a “stranger’s” house in years but she adapted well at Paula’s. Snickers thinks that she is too old to play but apparently she LOVED Paula’s big back yard. Snickers was in good spirits when I picked her up and I would definitely use her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden City
Aaron and Andrea were so highly reviewed and recommended, and now we know why! They were so terrific with Pecan and I was surprised that she did not act happier to see me, LOL. I'm pretty sure she was spoiled with love, attention and fun, she wasn't sure she wanted to come home! We are looking forward to having them sit for Pecan again.
Cheryl is a very good communicator and our small dog was happy and relaxed after her recent stay with her - and it was easy to keep in touch with Cheryl. We were happy with how smoothly and straightforwardly everything went throughout this whole process with Cheryl and we would be happy to use her services again.
I am so thankful for the care that Beth provided for my baby boy, Maxwell. She went above and beyond in caring for him. She spoiled him rotten! I'm sure he misses her and her home. She took him for multiple daily walks and that's not an easy task! He loves to sniff everything. She cared for him like he was hers. I definitely recommend Beth for your fur baby!

Demi was absolutely amazing! She was very professional, caring, and went above and beyond while watching my pet. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet was surrounded by a loving family who helped provide plenty of care and attention. I could tell my pet was treated like family, and I truly appreciated the love and dedication. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Megan was an amazing dog sitter. She checked in with me regularly and kept me updated throughout my trip. I truly appreciated that her top priority was making sure my dog was comfortable, which gave me peace of mind during my vacation. Knowing that Bacon was well cared for and comfortable allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. I will definitely book with her again for my next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
So happy that Mark and Nadine were able to watch Cora on our weeklong vacation. We received frequent l updates which we liked, and we were really comfortable leaving her with them as they love dogs and are very attentive. Definitely would use them again to watch our dog!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Garden City is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $54 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.

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.
95% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 MI 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.
