“Jenny was awesome! This was my first time using Rover.com for a vacation I was taking, and I was nervous. Right from the start she made me feel so much better about everything. I received daily updates and pictures. Any worries I had quickly went away after her first check in. I will gladly re-book with her :-) She will take the time needed for your pet to feel comfortable!”

About: Hello! I've been caring for family members' and friends' cats and dogs for years, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I can't board pets in my home because my cats are very sensitive to other animals, but I'm happy to provide drop in visits, walks, and companionship in your pet's home where they're most comfortable. I'm comfortable administering medication if needed, and I'll always communicate with you throughout your booking by sending updates and photos. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'm also happy to do a meet and greet beforehand so everyone (pets included) can get comfortable. I work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop in visits and walks throughout the week. I have a standing meeting every weekday at 10:00 a.m., and any additional meetings are usually scheduled between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., but I'm often able to plan visits around them. If your pet needs care at a specific time, just let me know. I'll always be upfront about my availability and do my best to accommodate your schedule. All of my services take place in your pet's home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I'll follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet's normal routine, whether that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication, or simply keeping them company. I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, and if I notice anything out of the ordinary, I'll let you know right away. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Alyson is truly a dog person. She was awesome with Missy. She followed my instructions for her and went above and beyond caring for her. I ran out of her premium dog food, and Alyson brought some to replace it while I was gone, which was so thoughtful of her and Missy was so grateful for that. I am looking forward to having Alyson back to care from Missy again. I feel very comfortable, leaving her in her care.”

“Joselin has taken care of my Shephard twice. Nala does not do well with other dogs and therefore boarding her is not an option. Joselin is absolutely wonderful with her and never fails to send me a picture during each visit. When I get home Nala is happy and safe. I could not have asked for a more dedicated pet sitter.”

About: As a 31 year old who's owned dogs his entire life, I've learned dog behaviour in and out, while I don't consider myself a trainer, the breeds I've owned and work with include hounds, German Shepard/Mixes, Pitbulls, Huskies, etc, I can offer basic walks around your area OR provide a speciality trail hiking experience with your pup! They will be cleaned and checked for fleas and ticks every time, and healthy exhaustion is guaranteed! My entire life I have owned high energy dogs, as a lover of nature I always learned towards dogs that could hike with me through the woods in Rain, Snow or sunshine, after doing it for years for my pups, I want to give other puppies and even senior dogs that feeling of freedom in nature! If your dog needs a companion, my German Shepard Rita can join! If your dog prefers solo hikes or hikes with their siblings that is okay as well! I treat all pets like my own children, same as yours!

About: Just like most people, I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I wouldn’t know what life would be like without pups in the home! I work full time approximately 15 minutes from my home. During the summer, I play softball locally and bring the pups with me to games. I have a decent size fenced backyard! It provides the pups plenty of room to run and play. I live in a spacious home as well which provided them room to play and eat.

Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.

Abby was a life saver for our last minute dog walking booking while we went on vacation! Our dog stayed with my mom, who told us our dog was very comfortable with Abby and she was very communicative regarding pick up times and how our puppy was doing on the walks. Abby even sent us a cute video of our dog while walking which reassured us she was in good hands. We will be booking with her again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Garden City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Garden City on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Garden City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Garden City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Garden City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garden City. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
