“Jackie was very nice, came to meet me before she started and was here when expected. She had to clean up more than her fair share of pee with a new puppy and a jealous brother dog. Thanks Jackie for coming on short notice as well!!”

About: I grew up around dogs since I was a baby. I love dogs and I will be happy to provide my experience to your dog. I am CPR certified. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. On my free time I volunteer at the humane society. Fun fact: I speak Spanish (Hablo español) • Morning (6:00 AM – 8:00 AM): • Take dogs out for a morning bathroom break or "sniffy walk". • Measure and serve breakfast alongside fresh water. • Scoop cat litter boxes and refresh food or water bowls. • Give a few minutes of morning snuggles or short play. • Midday (12:00 PM – 2:00 PM): • Let dogs out for a quick midday relief walk or backyard check. • Provide a puzzle toy, lick mat, or short enrichment activity. • Evening (5:00 PM – 8:00 PM): • Serve dinner at a consistent time to aid digestion. • Go for a longer evening walk, jog, or play session to burn off remaining energy. • Practice a 5-minute obedience or trick-training session. • Night (9:00 PM – 10:00 PM): • Take a final outdoor bathroom break. • Wind down in a quiet, comfortable sleeping area. Hi! I'm a professional pet sitter dedicated to providing safe, attentive, and reliable pet care right here in Reading. Whether your dog needs an energetic midday walk or your cat prefers quiet, in-home companion care while you are away, I am here to give your pets the specialized attention they deserve. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind. That is why my services—ranging from drop-in visits to overnight house sitting—are entirely built around your pet's unique habits, personality, and medical needs. I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pets like they are my own, keeping you updated with plenty of photos and peace-of-mind messages. Let me take the worry out of your schedule so you can travel or work knowing your pets are happy, healthy, and safe!

About: I have been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a child, but professionally for almost 8 years now! I have experience with all sorts of animals, most commonly dogs though! I have extensive experience with senior pets, puppies, and disabled pets. I am always available and dedicate my time to making the experience great for your pet while you're away. I currently work from home and make my own hours, so my availability is completely open! I can work around whatever hours you need and I am available for long periods of time as well. My home is very animal friendly! I do have crates available for pets that need to be crated, however since I am home almost all of the time- it's rarely necessary! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a very big plot of land in the back that we can walk around and play on!

About: I have always had experience with dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and I know how to care for them. I have also had experience training puppies as I have had two of them. I feed and let my dogs out daily. I also make sure they get enough exercise and take them for walks as much as I can. We put one of my dogs on a leash while they go to the bathroom and let my other dog roam wherever she pleases because she knows the boundaries of the yard.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and various small animals, I'm well-prepared to look after your beloved pet. As a current owner of two dogs(cockapoo and pitbull), five cats, and two guinea pigs, I'm comfortable with senior pets, administering medications (even to picky eaters!), and doing whatever it takes to ensure your peace of mind while you're away. I currently work a full time job with a block schedule so I know my availability ahead of time. Even on the days I work I am willing to stop by before and/or after work. I am great with late nights as my shifts end at 3AM I am respectful entering my clients home and willing to follow any instructions provided to me. If I am ever unsure about anything I will contact my client to ensure I’m giving their pets proper care.

About: Experience starts young, I used to pet sit dogs in my neighborhood at 12. About three years ago I got my own dog who is a rescue whom I have been able to re-train at behaving alone at home and teach new tricks. My dog is 11 so I have great experience with both young and old. I’m currently working part time at a winery so my hours are flexible and I will be able to easily work around my schedule to fit yours. I have a big sidewalk to walk along at my apartment complex for long walks as well as a dog park. I also have plenty of at home care for all the dogs needs such as if there were accidents cleaning supplies to treat those accidents.

“Kortney was absolutely amazing with our dog Zara!!! We had a last minute cancellation right before vacation, and Kortney was incredibly accommodating and flexible with Zara’s check-ins while we were away. Zara is a very anxious dog who needs extra attention, patience, and lots of love. Kortney not only took on the job the same day, but she was also willing to meet Zara before we left, which gave us so much reassurance and peace of mind. Throughout our trip, Kortney provided daily updates after every check-in, including the cutest pictures of Zara. Since this was our first time using a pet sitting service, those updates really helped ease our minds. It was clear that Kortney took excellent care of Zara and gave her the same love and attention we would have. She understood our needs right away and stepped in with such ease when we needed someone most. Definitely will be booking again and thank you so much Kortney for your services ✨🩵”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cared for my own for years. From daily walks and playtime to keeping up with feeding and routines, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of the family. Hi, I’m Mike! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine. I’m reliable.

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats, eventually I started working at a Pet sitting company. I love the pets special habits or tricks Have taken some basic dog training classes. I have a hybrid job that allows me to do long-term stays! I have required meetings on Tuesday morning, but otherwise have a super flexible schedule. I am not available on Saturdays or Sundays. I am not able to board at my home due to a lack of space, but my job allows me to spend full time looking after your pet. I can do check-ins or long stays if your pet needs a companion. I understand the importance of following the pet's routine.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Garfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Garfield is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $35 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 November 2026, there are 1,489 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
