“Was welcomed before I ever got out of my truck by this beautiful family. Could feel a peace and comfort in just our first few words. Once I got Ms Luna out you could see their care for dogs. While we were out of town they would send little videos and photos of just how well she was doing. In everyone Luna looked as happy as a new puppy. When I came to pick her up I would say she was happier and looked even better than when I left my house with her. If we need a sitter again, no doubt Stephanie will be our go to. Can't thank y'all enough for all you and your family did for Luna.”
“I honestly cannot say enough about how wonderful our first experience was. Our 6 pound little Yorkie was loved and treated just like she was part of their family. She is normally nervous around other dogs(especially bigger than her) but I think her and Fred(their dog) became pretty good friends. We received updates and pictures daily! I'm so thankful we found someone that we can trust and definitely use over and over. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a perfect place for their dog to visit and feel at home❤”
“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”
“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and thank goodness I found Amanda!! Wow! She had an outstanding response rate to all of my texts and calls. She even sent me pictures of my dog to reassure me she was ok because she knew I was nervous about her being an escape artist. When I picked up my dog both times, my girl seemed so content & happy. Amanda and her husband have a big beautiful home and give lots of love and care to their animals. I’m using her anytime I’m in this area again. Such a relief 🦋”
“Always takes amazing care of our energetic baby! Follows all instructions with care and provides detailed updates with pictures. Luca loves his time with this family and he’s very picky!”
“Thanks Ryan for taking care of our Bones! She had a great time. Your family is awesome. We felt comfortable as soon as we got there. Bones loved all the extra attention. We received photo updates. Overall it was a great experience for Bones. Thanks so much!”
“Anisha was great! Kiva had a great time, was well cared for, and got to play off leash in a fenced back yard, which is a real treat! I will definitely request to book her again the next time I can’t take my baby with me!”
“Katelyn was fantastic with my 15 y/o pomeranian. She provided a sense of calm and kindness that I knew my little old guy was in good hands. She sent me photos and updates throughout his stay to include his walks. Highly recommend!”
“Ms. Katherine was the perfect find for myself and my dog. She was able to accommodate my last minute request and enabled me to take along my trusty dog on a long weekend trip. The comfortable homey setting and her sensitive, devoted care put my mind at ease while we were apart. Her updates and photos confirmed my confidence that my 12 year old Aussie cattle dog was safe and happy. Katherine provides a real service with real love for her furry guests. I wholly recommend her and will call on her again next time in in the Smokies. Doug H.”
“Melinda and McKenna were God-sends! We have a senior dog and we hate to leave her even for a day. Numerous photos and such a warm home was so assuring during our week away. We would not hesitate to use them again.”
“Sushma was great! She responded quickly on short notice. My dog a bit of a nervous, high energy pup. She took great care of him. She sent regular updates, photos, and videos. I'd definitely use Sushma again to watch my dog.”
“Mamie and family were great. Mamie communicated frequently, including sending photo updates. We felt confident that Solo and Sadie were well cared for and happy. It is clear that Mamie loves dogs and I think Solo and Sadie enjoyed their vacation as much as we enjoyed ours.”
“Our experience with Lindsay was fantastic. She was accommodating, flexible and very easy going. If I can sum it up, our ? has been extremely mopey since he has been home and I think he had too much fun. I’m a bit sad but since it’s all about him we would use Lindsay again.”
“Savannah is The nicest person you will meet. She sent me photos literally everyday twice a day and a video of my puppy. She even gave him his medicine and notified me when she did it. He looked so happy and excited to be there. I knew he was in great hands for the 5 days that she had my pup chai. Thank you sooo much again !”
About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.
“Chris was an amazing dog sitter! She and her husband were so kind and welcoming. Chris took the time to thoroughly understand our puppy’s routine, from food and treats to supplements and crate training. She did a fantastic job socializing him during his stay and kept us updated with frequent photos and detailed messages. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in great hands! We will definitely rebook!🐶🐾💙”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Garland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Garland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Garland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garland. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Garland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 GA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
