“Repeat customer since 2019. Dawn is amazing! She treats my fur baby like her own and probably spoils him a little more. She’s patient, kind and dependable. We love Dawn! 🐾🫶🏾”
“We had such a great first Rover experience with Shannon! She sent updates and pictures of our dog several times a day, and she was professional from start to finish. We’ll definitely call on her again when we need dog-sitting!”
“This is my 2nd time having Honey stay with Kerri and she did wonderful as always! Daily updates and when I picked her up she had so much fun playing with her pup friends she passed out in the car ride home! Will use her again and again!!!!”

The energy of your person and your home space is so grounding and calming was the immediate presence that I was relieved with upon meeting you. I needed my baby somewhere safe and peaceful and you provided that thank you beautiful human would love to work with you again! Tipped you in cash.”
“Christina was amazing, she kept us informed the whole time, sent pictures and Forrest had a blast. Our flight was eight hours delayed and she was kind and patient. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting.”
“Dixie is so comfortable with Cheryl, when I pick her up she's very calm and relaxed. I appreciate how attentive Cheryl is to Dixie & how she keeps me updated daily. This is our second booking with Cheryl & there will definitely be more in the future.”
“Chris and Cass were awesome sitters! They are really kind, cool people who love dogs. My Sammy had a blast staying at their place and I know he loved it. I actually felt bad taking him back home because he was having so much fun :) My pup Sammy is a pretty nervous and anxious dude around strangers, but not Chris and Cass. He loved them both and I’m so happy to have met them.”
“Megan did a great job taking care of my baby while I was gone on a vacation for the long weekend. I received daily updates, pictures and videos of my dog playing with her puppy. She also bathed him and kept him in comfort during the Father’s Day fireworks. I am beyond impressed, thankful and appreciative to her love towards the fur babies!!”
“We are so happy we found Dawn to take care of Gryffin! We have re-booked many times, and she is always our first choice to watch him whenever we have to be out of town. She takes wonderful care of Gryff - we can tell he loves staying there, and we especially love that she has a big fenced yard so he can enjoy playing with other dogs. Really happy that we found Dawn, and can go away with confidence knowing that he will be so well cared for!!”
“Lindsey was an incredibly caring and loving caregiver for my senior pug. She thoughtfully updated us with pictures and updates while we were away and she was very flexible with pickup and drop off times. So happy we found her. ♡”
“Amie and her family are wonderful! She is a great communicator and sends daily updates, which gives us reassurance that our dog is being well taken care of. She treats our dog like he is another member of their family, which we so appreciate. Our dog requires a lot of love and attention, which her family provides to him. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Amie and family!”
“Megan did an amazing job taking care of our boy! She was always watching him and sending us pictures and updates. Bodoque loves her and her partner Greg. We will definitely book Megan again and recommend her to all our friends and family.”
About: I have had a dog my whole life until our dog passed away. I have decided to care for other people’s dogs to help fill the void of ours. We are empty nesters who would love the companionship of an animal to snuggle and care for. We love to walk and go to parks which we will do for your fur baby. I work 7 am to 6 pm but come home during the day for lunch so your fur baby will be able to go outside a few times a day. Also, home in the evenings and weekends if you were to choose us to care for your dog. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of grass to run on. Our home is not huge but we allow dogs to roam and if a kennel is needed we would ask you to bring yours to our house so the dog has a familiar place to go. We are loving dog people.
“As a first time user of Rover, I was nervous to leave my fur baby with just anyone. I hit the jackpot with Bridget. I set up a meet and greet first. Luna and Betsy hit it off immediately and became BFF's. Bridget stayed connected and sent lots of pictures which I was very grateful to receive since that allowed me to vacation with peace of mind. I will definitely send Luna to Bridget's house again and highly recommend her and her husband.”
“I boarded my pup Coco with Teresa. It was Coco's first time being boarded, so she recommended I drop Coco off the evening before to see how it would go. She introduced the other boarding dogs one by one, showed me the yard, and made sure everyone was comfortable. She contacted me the next morning and mentioned it was going well with one of the other pups. Not the result we were looking for, but she handled it kindly and professionally -- and that's all I could ask for. Teresa was great to work with, and I would recommend her for boarding.”
“Nadine and Mark were fantastic! This was my first time using them and I had no concerns before, during, or after my dog’s stay. Sprout was clearly very calm and comfortable staying with them. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing their services.”
“I had another sitter cancel last minute. With a last minute request Irma and Daniel were very communicative and took great care of my dog Pepper! She was very happy with them and plan to have them watch her again for future stays!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Garden City is $45

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!
Everything was amazing! Joanne is so amazing with everything and I know that my fur baby is in the best hands whenever she is watching him. The updates with pics and videos is so great to get when away and lets me know with certainty that our pup is doing well and having a good time. Thank you again for an amazing stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Garden City on Rover is $33.99 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,675 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Garden City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Garden City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Garden City home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 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 .
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.
