About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience, including caring for my Labrador for over 10 years. I loved taking care of him, playing with him, walking him, and giving him lots of love. I’m responsible, caring, and attentive to every pet’s needs. My schedule works for the following dates and times: *Monday–Friday: 6:00 PM–9:00 PM * Saturday: 7:00–11:00 AM and 4:00–5:30 PM * Sunday: 7:00–11:00 AM Thank you Your pets will be treated like family! I’ve had dogs all my life and truly love caring for them. I enjoy playing with them, feeding them, taking them for walks, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and will make sure your dog or cat feels safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care.
About: As a lifelong dog owner and lover I have always taken care of not only my own but been a go-to sitter for my friends cats and dogs. I currently have a 4 yr old yellow lab who may be 100 lbs but he thinks he’s a lap dog nonetheless. I love big dogs as I have always had a large dog in the house but small dogs steal my heart too. I have an extremely flexible schedule. As a real estate agent I am only in the office/area that I work on random days here and there. Most days I am home, going to the gym, or spending time with family and friends, so pet care can be at any time throughout the day. I will always care for your pet and home. Any instructions that you give I will follow, I want your pet to enjoy their time with me as much as I enjoy my time with them!
About: I just spent a year caring for an adorable English Bulldog and it gave me the skills and wisdom I need to care for yours. Dogs require lots of love, attention and patience and that’s what I have to offer. I am currently working from home so I can help before work, during the day and in the evenings and weekends. I spend a lot of time at home so having a pup here to look after would be perfect! I will ensure that your pups are well taken care of and I will provide a clean, safe and comfortable environment where they’ll feel happy until your return.
“Diana and Andrew are absolutely wonderful! We have used them twice so far and they are very responsive and send pictures during their deop in. We reached out to them very early in the morning requesting a drop in visit for the evening and they accommodated us with no problem! Thank you both for treating lala so well. We will definitely use them when needed!”
“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: Hi, I’m Jennifer! 🐾 Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! With 13 years of pet care experience, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a dog mom with experience caring for German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, I’m comfortable with large, energetic breeds, but I absolutely love dogs of all sizes and personalities! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, feeding, or just a little extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ I am available for morning and evening walks, feeding visits, and check-ins throughout the week. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will ensure they receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. In my own home, I care for my Belgian Malinois, who keeps me active and has given me valuable experience with energetic dogs. I make sure she gets plenty of exercise through daily walks, playtime, and outdoor activities in our backyard. When caring for your pet, I will follow their routine closely, provide a safe and loving environment, and treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dog. I understand that every pet is unique and will tailor my care to their individual needs.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. First cats and then dogs. I grew up with 3 small dogs from when I was 6 until they passed away. At the end they were old ladies- one was diabetic and blind and the other had an array of health issues. Now my partner and I have two puppies, both around 30 lbs expected to be around 50. Animals make life better. I am currently working part time and have lots of time at home with the pups! i love animals more than anything, so they are always the priority in my days. We go to the dog park, go on lots of walks and even go swimming on the weekends! I have a very flexible schedule. I am well versed in crate and pad training. We have been training our puppies on how to walk on a leash as well as different tricks (stay being the most important).
About: I grew up taking care of dogs, both my own and those of friends and family. I work from home full time and will give your pup all my love and attention. I am sensitive to the needs of different pups and will cater to the needs of your pup accordingly! I will treat your pup as if they were my own. I work from home full time and set my own hours so I would be very flexible to work around the needs of your pup. I can provide walks and pee breaks for your pup every few hours. I live in a townhome with plenty of space indoors and lots of greenery outside.
About: I have always felt a strong connection to animals. I believe our pets are just as important as any other family member. I grew up with dogs and now have a puppy that I share with my partner who is quite truly our child. One of my recent clients said, "Rachel, you see animals as if they are little children, with personalities, feelings and emotions. I've never come across anyone that is as intuitive with them as you are". I'm that girl who will stop you in the middle of the street to pet your pup just because he or she looked at me. I want to give them as much love as I possibly can. My patience is my biggest asset and skill as a pet parent, sitter and dog walker. I want to give your pup the same attention as I give my own. I sit for both puppies, kitties and senior animals. I'm experienced with special care needs such as medication management or any other special care your animal may require. When I'm caring for your your pet(s) they becomes my family and I give them the gentle care and loyal love they deserve. PS. Our beloved Rocco passed over the rainbow bridge in early June. We are in the process of adopting another puppy. As a freelancer, I often have a flexible schedule and am happy to come up with a schedule that works for us both - weather you are looking for regular care or are simply taking a trip for the weekend and need someone to look after your fuzzball. I am able to provide sitting services at your home, walking sessions, drop-in visits or play dates. I live with my partner and am able to care for your pup in our home or in yours, the choice is yours. My partner is allergic to cats, so although, I am not able to board them in my home unfortunately. But, I am more than happy to board them in your home, drop by for a cuddle, play time, in home stay. I love going on walks and can play with your pets to make sure they stay happy and mentally enriched. I can also brush your pets hair for you, bathe them as well as give massages.
“Austin was extremely reliable, flexible when needed and even conscientious enough to confirm our weekly schedule. He was great dealing with the needs of a senior dog and a dog who doesn’t like bad weather! I would highly recommend using him !”
“Kathy kindly accomodated my last minute request. She took lovely pictures of the dogs, and left me a very detailed description of what she did for them. The dogs obviously liked her too. I would definitely use her services again!”

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on dog care experience, including working at two dog daycare/kennel facilities for approximately six months each. In these roles, I was responsible for supervising dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cleaning and sanitizing play areas, handling waste, bathing, brushing, de-shedding, and treating minor wounds. I am very familiar with dog body language and behavior. I can recognize signs of anxiety, stress, fear, overstimulation, and potential aggression, and I know how to respond calmly and safely. I have experience separating dog altercations and maintaining a controlled environment. I am also a dog owner of a Golden Retriever and a rescued Labrador Retriever. I raised my Golden Retriever from puppyhood, so I am highly experienced with puppy care, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and exercise needs. My Labrador was rescued with injuries, and I cared for him during recovery, including wound care and post-neutering recovery. I provide attentive, compassionate care and believe in building trust with every dog. I communicate clearly with pet parents and always prioritize safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Dogs tend to bond with me quickly, and I take pride in creating a calm, loving, and structured environment Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and rest periods. I am flexible, reliable, and able to accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, and recurring care needs. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and routine at all times. I closely follow pet parents’ instructions, monitor behavior and body language, and maintain a calm environment. I properly supervise interactions, secure doors and leashes, administer basic care when needed, and provide regular updates to ensure trust and peace of mind.
“Alexander was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ranger. He was attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring. I could tell Ranger was in great hands the entire time. Alexander followed all of my instructions carefully and handled small changes to the plan with ease and flexibility. I felt completely at ease knowing Ranger was being so well cared for. I’d highly recommend Alexander.”

“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garfield
I have a really nervous and picky dog, and he warmed up to Chris within minutes!! I’ve had several pet sitters over the years and the only one he loves is his grandpa (husband’s dad). However, Chris has met him three times now and based on pictures alone I can tell my little guy is feeling more and more comfortable each visit. I am definitely a repeat customer! I have another trip in the next couple weeks and am SO glad I can go away without worrying about the stress levels of my pup. Thanks so much Chris + Jack!!
Michelle was great with my corgi. Communication while arranging the meet and greet could have been better but overall I’m very happy with the care she gave him for the drop-in visits. She listened exactly to what he needed and gave him lots of outside time. I would not hesitate to book with Michelle again.
Lillian was absolutely wonderful with our two Shih Tzus, Smokey and Bandit. From our initial meet-and-greet to a last-minute request for a walk and feeding, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She kept us updated, responded promptly, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Smokey and Bandit, and they were happy and well cared for every time she looked after them. We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
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 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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Garfield is $29 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $44 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 26,148 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Garfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.
