“Dena and her family did a great job with Biscuit. She was happy and content when I picked her up. It is clear that they provided her with loving care. We will definitely be back.”
About: If i had 100 fenced acres i would probably have 100 dogs. First hand experience with Golden Retrievers, Boxers, Dobermans, Cocker Spaniels, Labrador Retrievers, Schnauzers, Irish Wolf Hounds, Terriers and Yorkies. I periodically raise and train Golden Retrievers for Leaderdogs for the Blind. If i am completely blocked off for a couple weeks i am probably hosting a leaderdog puppy for another raiser that is on a vacation. I have a lot of repeat customers and look forward to seeing their dogs get excited when they pull into my driveway. It would be tough but if i had to pick the breed i couldn't live without i would put Goldens at the top. Even though i don't let any dogs on my bed i’m known for sleeping on the floor in the living-room with the dogs.
“Everything was great. Very nice and stayed in contact with me the whole time. We did a trial run before as well to make sure she was a good fit. Ruby made some new friends and it was a great experience. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much to Emily and Grace and everyone else there!”
“Had a great 1st time visit with Karen. My dog Zoe has some anxiety but I noticed right away that she seemed comfortable in Karen's home. She spent the day with Karen. I got a photo and a nice update during the day . When I picked Zoe up she was happy to see me and was very content. In the past when I boarded her she came home and seemed very nervous for a while but staying with Karen for the day she seemed very much at ease. I am very happy to have found Karen and I feel comfortable trusting her with fur baby.”
“Anthony was great. We did a meet and greet and when I dropped her off the day, he sent me lots of pictures to reassure me Tilly was content and safe. He took her for walks and spoiled her. I plan to use him again. 5 stars.”
“I couldn’t possibly be happier with my dog’s experience at Teresa’s home. From our meet and greet a few days ago to daycare today, Teresa has been nothing but kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming to my dog and my family. Her dogs were a great mix of playful and chill - my pup is worn out this evening, haha. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I thought about daycare for my new rescue dog. Many more playdates to come. 🙂 It’s so comforting knowing she was in excellent hands.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Even though we were her very first client, she treated our pup like absolute family from the second we walked in. She was warm, professional, and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Don't let her lack of reviews fool you, she is a natural at this and truly wonderful with pets. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Amanda was amazing with our 2 large dogs:) There was an unexpected situation for us and she was accommodating with scheduling a meet and greet and the days we needed care. She was very flexible since the times were not set in stone. She sent pictures while the dogs were with her so we could see their fuzzy faces. When I picked them up they were happy to see me but I could tell they definitely felt comfortable with Amanda.”
“Andrew was great!! Maizie has some insecurities and bonded immediately with Andrew and his parter. She had a great day and a great meet and greet and we are all looking forward to Maizie return visit!! Andrew loves dogs and took time to ask all the right questions. We felt totally comfortable leaving Maizie in his care!!!”
“Terri is always my 1st choice when it comes to hiring a dog sitter to care for my pups! She loves dogs and it shows because my pups love her! I always give Terri a 5-star rating because she deserves it!!”
“Maritza did a great job communicating with me for Marlon’s first visit. I am super grateful and glad to know he’s being watched by a thoughtful and caring family.”
“Brittany was very accommodating and took my last minute request. There can be improvement in communication to avoid misunderstandings. But, she was very kind and caring and put forth the effort to clear up what was misunderstood.”
“Rachel was amazing with Phoenix! She took such great care of him and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, communicative, and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. It was clear that Phoenix was comfortable and well cared for with her. I truly appreciate the love and patience she showed him, and I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

Abigail was amazing at communication and sending pictures throughout the day! I brought my dogs to her house and she made me feel so comfortable about starting day care for the first time! My dogs had such a fun day playing and I will definitely be bringing them back again! :)
Kenzi and I absolutely love Cynthia! She has such sweet babies herself and Kenzi loves having playmates! Cynthia is very kind and always keeping in touch throughout the day!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Garden City on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Garden City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,246 sitters in Garden City, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
