About: Hi! I’m Kayla, I have over a year of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand canine body language and am comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with different temperament. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and following each pet's routine. I love working with animals and am committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I am currently completing a school externship during the week, so my availability is primarily on Thursdays and weekends. When caring for your pet, I will follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care and keeping pet parents updated throughout each visit. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and keeping them comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if applicable), and any household rules. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure pets have fresh water and a clean space. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Ashley doesn't just take care of our two high-maintenance cats - she makes sure everything in the house is safe, secure, and comfortable while we are away! I know it's all in good hands when Ashley is here.”
About: My heart goes out to every pet owner, as I have recently lost my childhood companion in June 2025. I am looking forward to taking care of your pets. I am taking a semester off this spring so I will be fully available besides sundays starting January 23rd 2026. I will have this availability as of now until September 2026 Based on the pet I am taking care of, I can best accommodate with the pet if I know their behaviors, triggers, their favorite things to do, etc. I’d treat every pet as my own, making sure they get their daily walks in, set a time for when to eat, make sure they do eat, set some time aside to possibly play depending on the dog, cleanliness is also key.
About: I have taken care of dogs since childhood (had 6 Golden Retrievers since 2002, now have a Bichon Frise). Your pet will feel at home playing with us and our friendly baby. We’re a loving, pet-friendly home where your furry family member will be treated like our own. I work as a part-time behavioral therapist, and my husband works from home two days a week, so there’s always someone around to give your pup plenty of attention, care, and affection. Caring for dogs truly comes naturally to us. Our new home offers a spacious fenced backyard for playtime, along with nearby dog parks and a beautiful nature walking path—perfect for fresh air, exercise, and fun. Your dog will enjoy a safe, happy environment and feel like a part of our family during their stay. Note: Daycare hours are typically between 7 AM and 7 PM (or less). If you need care beyond these hours, please book a boarding request instead. Thank you! Your fur baby will be treated like family in our home! From cozy naps and meals to fun walks and playtime with our sweet pup Archie, I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved, and as close to home as possible while you’re away. My goal is to make their stay comforting, fun, and full of care until their favorite humans return!
About: I have been a dog lover and animal rights advocate all of my life and I have always wanted to work with animals in some capacity. Making dogs happy has always been such a fulfilling goal of mine so walking and playing with your dogs is one way I can do that. I have previously worked at a dog hotel and know how to handle different sizes and temperaments so I am experienced in all situations. I am a big advocate for the more cuddles the better so your dog will feel loved for the entirety of their time with me! I currently work from home and it is flexible so I will be able to walk your dog as often as they need to. I have two dogs of my own that are super sweet and loves other dogs so your dog will fit very well into our already existing routine. I am respectful by following the rules of your home when I come into your home to pick up your dog. I will never do something that you do not approve of first whether it be giving a certain treat, going to a park, etc. Trust is the key!
“Erica is amazing! She really does treat your pet as if it were her own. She follows instructions and is always attention to every little detail. I would definitely recommend her. If I could give her 100 out of 100 stars I would!”
“Ashley is great with my pets. They really like her. She is patient and sweet with them. I truly appreciate her communication throughout the visits to let me know they are ok and if it's still a good time to drop in. I am look forward to our next booking coming up in July. I know I can trust her with my pets while we are away.”
“Xunzi did a great job! She kept us updated during her visit with our cats and sent a lot of pictures. I would definitely recommend Xunzi for your cats.. Thank you Xunzi.”
About: I’m 19 years old and have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I’ve cared for Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, and a Yorkie, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving them attention, or just keeping them company. I know how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for yours the same way I care for my own. I currently work part-time at a bird store, where I help care for a variety of birds and assist customers with their pet care needs. Working with animals has made pet care a big part of my daily life. I have experience feeding, cleaning habitats, monitoring animal health, and making sure pets receive the attention and care they need. Growing up with pets and working around animals every day has taught me how important patience, responsibility, and compassion are when caring for them. I am not currently offering overnight or in-home pet sitting services. However, during walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are cared for as if they were my own by providing fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
About: I spend most of my time around dogs as my job is a canine caretaker at a dog training facility where I assist in dog handling, dog grooming, dog enrichments, leash handling, & most importantly keeping the dogs & there space clean! I don’t discriminate against any breed I actually have tons of experience with breeds of all sizes & temperaments from small reactive dogs to large reactive dogs, from your cuddliest to your zoomie filled pups. I’ve had tons of dogs my entire life so I can love and care for yours as if they were my own! I have experience in dog handling, leash handling, administering medication, grooming (bath ears teeth nails brush out/ blow out) separating dog scuffles, walking dogs of all sizes, & I’m even a professional belly rubber! I’ll be working with dogs the rest of my life as I pursue my career in dog training and eventually service dog training. Hope I get the pleasure of meeting you & your fur baby! (: I’m currently off from work from December 24th- January 5th and have plenty of time & flexibility as needed. I know lots of pet owners & parents go away during the holidays. Feel free to reach out for a free “meet & greet” Currently, I do not take pets inside my home as my apartment is a 1 pet household per landlord request. Thanks for your understanding. (:
About: I had a cat for 6 years and plenty of experience handling and taking care of dogs - I volunteered in an animal shelter with dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens for 4 years. I am 5’7” and relatively strong so I am also able to handle larger dogs (no pulling that leash away on my watch!). I have 3 years of experience as an EMT, so in case of an unexpected accident I am able to provide emergency first aid if necessary (helping a pet often involves the same basics as helping a person!) I have a lot of availability at the moment. Weekdays and weekends are nearly always free, especially for walking and check-ins. I love to be outside and walk/run, especially with dogs. I don't have any pets living with me right now, so I will be free to focus on yours. I am active and love taking dogs for a walk or run anywhere and for however long they need.
About: I'm a dog lover and protector. I have 12 years of experience dog sitting my aunt's pug. She is part of our family, and I am committed to showing that same care and love to the dogs I care for through this app. I follow instructions to a T to ensure your pet receives the food and care it needs to be happy and comfortable. I will ensure your pup has a super fun time, depending on his or her personality and what he or she likes to do (whether he or she prefers to relax or play). I also have experience helping elderly dogs during walks and protecting dogs of all ages from others who aren't as friendly and might bite them. I'm available Monday to Friday anytime between 6 am and 8 pm.
About: I have had pets for the past decade including a dog, guinea pig, two parakeets, and fish. I promise exceptional care when I am booked. I am currently a college student looking for work part time, I have plenty of free time and would love to be a resource to those who need me. I have worked as a babysitter and cleaner all throughout my years in high school, so I know my way around taking care of a home.
“Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -”
“5 stars isn’t enough! Maryann is amazing! She treated our pup like one of her own. She kept us updated on each visit with food and walks and we truly enjoyed the pics and videos! She is kind and caring and was honestly so great with our girl!!”
About: I've taken care of my neighbors dogs since age 10. I have also cared for my relatives dogs, cats and rabbits when they were away. I will offer a special rate for first time customers! I am currently working from home, so I am very flexible. I enjoy taking very long walks as a part of my daily exercise so I would love to take your pet along for the adventure. I have a small fenced back area for your pet to enjoy. I live in a townhome that is spacious and comfortable for a pet to be boarded. I work for from home so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I have flexibility to play and take your pet on nice walks. I have a spacious home and small fenced yard where your fur baby can play. Your loved one will have plenty of space to roam!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garfield
We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention. We really appreciated the regular visits, feeding support, walks, and overall communication. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!
I cannot recommend Maxibel enough! She has been absolutely amazing with my dog!! She is so kind, caring, and attentive. My dog genuinely gets excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She is always punctual, responsible, and incredibly reliable. One thing I especially appreciate is how consistent she is with updates and photos, which always reassures me that my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. I’m so grateful we found her!
I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !
Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!
Truly professional! Anastasiia and Ivan are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was my first time leaving Bella for longer than usual, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having her stay at home with people she didn’t know. But after seeing their incredible reviews, I decided to trust them — and I’m so glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. They were detailed, followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, their communication was outstanding. They kept me updated on everything and always asked questions before making any decisions. They made me feel completely comfortable, and Bella was genuinely happy with them. One moment that really stood out: on their first day, after we had already left, Bella was feeling uneasy when they walked in. Ivan sat on the floor near her and patiently waited for her to approach him, creating a calm and safe environment for her. That level of care and understanding meant so much. They showed real affection and truly cared about Bella’s wellbeing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional sitters for their furry family members.
While I was away, Tania took amazing care of my Doberman and Chihuahua. She was incredibly informative, kept me in the loop the entire time, and made being away from my dogs so much easier. She sent updates with pictures and videos, which was not only helpful but also super cute and reassuring.Both of my dogs were comfortable and clearly well cared for I could tell they were happy and relaxed with her. Tania treated them like her own and handled them with so much patience and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!

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 Garfield 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 Garfield 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 .

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 Garfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
