“We can’t thank you enough for the excellent care our Tasi received while we were away. Tasi seemed very content with Jenny and family. We highly recommend Jenny and will definitely reach out to her again in the future for Tasi’s care. Thanks again”
“Shawn and his family were beyond awesome and my two pups had a great time! I loved getting pictures everyday! They could barely stay awake on the way home. Would definitely use them again!”
“Katrina and Kevin took such great care of our dog. She was spoiled with walks, car rides, trips to the park and even a pup cup from Starbucks! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Greta was so great! Our Harley is like a daughter/sister to us, so it was important we find someone to watch her who would care for her as much as we do ourselves. She communicated, sent pictures, and was so accommodating to our unplanned schedule change. WE will definitely book with her again!”
“Ryleigh was great. She's a genuine animal lover. She boarded my kitty for a week and everything went smoothly. She sent photo updates, which was greatly appreciated since I was pretty nervous about sending my cat off to be boarded for the first time. I will definitely reach out and have her board my cat again if the situation arises. Thanks Ryleigh!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs from a new puppy all the way to senior pets. Your pup will get plenty of play time and be loved as if it is our own. I currently work full time, but nearby. I am home for lunch each day to allow your pup out for bathroom breaks, play, or possibly a short walk. Fridays and the weekend we are home the majority of the time. I can provide both long and short walks as long as cuddles and play time. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly pup of my own. Our pup is neutered so we can accept any dog. We do have young children so prefer that your pup is familiar with kids. If food aggressive, please let us know so we can accommodate that appropriately. We prefer to crate during the time we are out of the house, but if your dog is not accustomed to that, we can make other arrangements.
About: Finding pet care can be an anxiety inducing experience. My job is to provide pet parents with total comfort and peace of mind knowing that their fur babies are being well taken care of while they are away. Hey there! My name is Kayla and I am a 30 year old childless cat (and dog) lady. I have spent my entire life around animals and wouldn't have it any other way. We always had dogs while growing up, which eventually grew into also having cats, mice, lizards, etc. I turned this personal love of animals into a profession by spending many years working in pet boarding/daycare facilities, pet shelters, and by pet sitting on the side. I have been around so many different kinds of pet personalities and temperaments and strive to approach each animal appropriately to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I have also had much experience with special needs and senior pets. A big part of my job is it keep owners updated on any concerns I have or to ask important questions, so you never miss a beat of what is going on with your furry companion while you are gone. I pride myself in having a ton of heart and genuine care for any animal I come into contact with, and promise to treat your fur baby as my own - belly rubs and treats included! I currently work full time, 9-5 M-F. I will have plenty of time in the late afternoon/evening to care for your pets, as well as open availability Saturday and Sunday I will care for your fur baby just like he or she is my own! I'm good at following instructions of care and sticking to the routine they are used to. Plenty of belly rubs and walks included!
About: I have 8 1/2 years of grooming experience and have worked in a facility that had boarding and daycare! I helped in both departments many times of the almost 7 years I worked there. Not only do I have years of pet experience with working but I also have pets at home. I’ve loved animals my whole life! I’ve been blessed to have had experiences with animals in my life. Those experiences would include things from being able to work on my grandmothers farm in the summers to having my own pets while growing up. I work a full time job as a groomer but am free most Fridays and all Saturdays. As well as all day on Sundays. I’m open to anything after 5pm Mon-Thur. I have a 6 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and Bengal. My king Charles name is Isabella and she is a registered ESA. She is crate and potty trained. She also graduated a manners training class. While she is fully trained, we spoil our little girl. She gets lots of love and cuddles as well as being able to be with me at work every day. While at work she gets to meet many dogs and many breeds every day.
About: I would love to come hang out and take care of your dogs while you are gone! I have a lot experience with dogs, as I have always grown up with them. Also able to take dogs on walks if needed while watching them. I would prefer to do drop ins but also open to overnight stays at your house. I love to be outdoors so taking the dogs outside would definetly be something I could do! Also able to do anything else you need done for your dogs! I look forward to hearing from you and hope you choose me for your dog sitting needs! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions! I would be happy to answer them!! Thank you! Weekends/evening drop ins work best! Would love to get to know your dogs and make them feel safe while you are away! Love spending time outdoors! I have a fenced in yard- one Australian shepherd who is very friendly if you would like to socialize your dog! Also more than willing to do drop ins at your house
About: I own a couple dogs and manage my schedule well while in college and being a dog mom. I value exercise, health and happiness of all pets. I am available on most weekdays in the afternoon. I have a part time job during the weekdays as well and will always update my availability as needed. I have a puppy who is high energy and loves to play. Our daily routine includes 2 meals a day, lots of walks, play time and nap time. My apartment complex has a greenspace where dogs are able to run around freely.
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals since I was 6. I spent the last summer working at the Henry Doorly Zoo and I’m studying to be a veterinarian. I’m currently a university student with open nights and weekends as well as time throughout the day to play and care for pets! I have a flexible schedule and can work around times as needed. I work with pets on what they’re comfortable and familiar with as well as what owners have trained them on. Whether it’s with crates or fences I will care for pets with the utmost attention.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. This allows me to not only recognize the varied needs and behaviors that different pets may have, but also and be able to sympathize and cater to those specific needs and behaviors while creating bonds with each animal. I have availability for drop in visits and walks Monday-Friday at 10am and boarding (in my home) Friday-Sunday. I also offer doggy park field trips on Fridays at 11:30. I offer pet care (in clients home, or mine for dog friendly pups) whether it’s feeding, bathing, or stimulating playtime and long walks. I have reliable means of transportation and enjoy going to the dog park or on other fun adventures with the pups. I also have a friendly 10 year old tibetan spaniel that loves to tag along if you’re dog enjoys company from furry friends, however I am very understanding of the fact that dogs have different social behaviors and that some dogs require one on one time. A pet in my care will never be put into a situation that puts their or anyone else’s safety at risk.
About: Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets as if they were my own. I’ve had my own dogs of all breeds since I was a toddler, worked in kennels, and assisted at the vet clinic, so I’m very experienced in what pets need and how to make them feel the most loved! Whether your dog wants a cozy cuddle buddy, a calm and patient walker, or a fun adventure partner, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how important routine and comfort are, so I always keep things consistent and fun and maintain very open communication. You’ll get plenty of updates, photos, and reassurance. Your fur baby is in kind, reliable hands with me! I am a new mom that is looking to fill my time loving your animals! I do work some, so I would be available to take care of them before or after work, but I am also home frequently throughout the day! We can chat about your pets needs before booking :) As someone who adores their pets like family, I also know how hard it is to trust someone with my pups, so I make it high priority to ensure every pet is treated the same with me as they would be at home with their own family. This will look different for each pup as I learn what your family routine and expectations are!

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.
99% 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 NE 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.
