About: I have been in-house pet sitting, doing drop-in’s, and dog walking since I was 18. I have a lot of experience with older animals that require special medical care. I will go the extra mile to make sure you and your pet have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience! I am currently working part time so I have flexible hours and am able to accommodate most morning and afternoon times! I also have off days during the week I’m free all day! In your home I will do a thorough walk through with you where you can give me all the specific info I’ll need to keep your pets safe! Any tricky doors, quirky habits of your pets, rules about outside time or walks, and any information you give me I will follow to a T to ensure that your pets are following normal routines and will be as safe as possible!
“Skye made a new friend with Nahla. She sent pics and updates at each visit. And being a vet tech she passed on some info that we needed to watch about Nahla. Skye spirit was calming for Nahla so.less stress for the separation days.”
About: My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog "Griffey" and cat "Miss Kitty", along with pets belonging to friends and family. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or a calm presence, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease. I joined Rover because I miss having my dog in my everyday life. He is currently staying with my parents back home in north-central Kansas. My dad’s health isn’t the best, and my dog brings him a great deal of comfort, so I know he is where he needs to be for now. I return home about once a month to visit them. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Best Shawn Phelps I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can often accommodate short-notice requests and easily work around your pet’s regular feeding, playtime, and care routine. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I will follow each pet’s normal routine, carefully secure doors and gates, respect the client’s home, and provide regular updates and photos. I have a friendly cat at home who gets along well with dogs but prefers not to be around other cats. Because of that, I would care for cats in their own homes but may welcome dogs into mine after a meet-and-greet. I’m flexible and always willing to discuss the safest arrangement for each pet.
About: I own dogs, cats, and horses of my own. I've helped over 200 fosters or rescues in our home, many of which had medical issues. I've dealt with most problems that could come up with sitting! I also use Rover for my own pets, so I try to do everything that I would want a sitter to do for me! I have a pretty flexible schedule with work, so I am able to fill all of that free time with pet sitting opportunities! Let me know how I can help! I love all animals and try to take care of them as if they were my own. I also love taking photos and sending them off so you can see your animals while you are away!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the natural bond I form with animals. Even though I’m new to Rover, I’ve always had a calming energy that pets are drawn to. I treat every animal like a unique soul, not just a pet. I’m attentive to their needs, routines, and comfort. Whether they’re shy, playful, or full of zoomies, I adjust to their vibe. I create a peaceful, loving environment where they feel safe, understood, and cared for like family. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to professional pet care! I currently pet sit full-time and have an established base of recurring clients, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. As I continue to grow my business, I’m opening my schedule to welcome new Rover clients. My availability may vary depending on my existing bookings, but I do my best to be flexible and keep my calendar up to date. If you’re interested in booking with me, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine above all else. I take the time to learn their needs, behaviors, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for, even while you’re away. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care as I would my own, while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — feeding times, walks, play, and quiet time included. I’m dependable, intuitive, and naturally attentive to animals, and I take pride in providing the kind of care that gives you total peace of mind.
“Grace was a great sitter.Came every day and made sure the cats had food in their bowls and took care of litter box.She showed love to them just like her own cats.Sent pictures to me every day and said how they were doing. Will highly recommend her and use her the next time I travel.”
About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have almost always lived in a home with three or more at a time, so caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, larger breeds, feeding schedules, walks, medications, basic grooming, and maintaining the routines dogs are used to at home. Having a multi-dog household has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog individually—reading their body language, managing introductions, giving them space when needed, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like they’re staying in a home, not a boarding facility. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. I’m currently able to offer a flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m home frequently, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule. I have a dog-friendly home with a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to play, relax, and feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, I take introductions seriously and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and body language. Dogs can be separated or crated when needed, and I’m happy to follow any routines or boundaries you use at home. My priority is making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of individual attention.
About: I’ve taken great care of my dogs over the years. I’m available to take excellent care of your dog too. I am also able to pickup and drop-off your dog for added convenience to your busy life and schedule. My son and I are enjoying our summer together and would love to share our summer with your fur-baby. Let's have a great summer! :D Our home has a fenced yard and ample living space so your fur-baby will be home away from home. There is also a nearby walk area so we can all stretch our legs.

About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!
“Ally did a great job taking care of our 3 cats over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative and made sure each cat was accounted for while we were away. We had no concerns. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Garfield is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $24 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
