“Zeke has never been cared for better! It was clear that he received lots of loving care, pets, and attention. He looked so happy to be with them in the fun pictures they sent of him.We have found our dog sitters for life! As long as Emilee and Timothy are available, we will definitely be leaving Zeke with them. I highly recommend them!”
“Jessica is a life saver. She was able to watch the dogs on short notice and gave our dogs excellent care. She made homemade dog treats that they absolutely loved! Her family even went out of the way to provide extra toys and bones for them! She has a friendly dog that Gwendle loved playing with and Della enjoyed snuggles with her kids! We would highly recommend Jessica and will book with her in the future :)”

“My old guy loved staying with Melissa. After our initial meet-and-greet, he went straight up to Melissa and leaned against her for some love the morning I dropped him off.

That’s as close to a DOG’s review as you can get. She communicates well, is professional and sends photos and videos during the boarding to put our minds at ease. You can’t ask for more.”

About: My English Bulldog is my world. Anyone who knows me knows she’s spoiled, adored, and at the center of just about everything I do. She absolutely loves having canine friends around, and while I’m not quite ready to add another dog to our family permanently, I love the idea of giving her the occasional playmate. That’s what inspired me to join Rover. Because of that, my dog’s happiness and safety will always come first. I’m intentional about only accepting dogs who will be a good personality match for her. When the dogs genuinely enjoy each other, everyone has a better experience—including you, knowing your pup is having just as much fun as mine. I work full-time, so I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and date-night dog sitting. I’m not looking to build a large dog-sitting business—I’m simply hoping to create a safe, fun environment for a few wonderful dogs who become familiar faces. As a fellow dog parent, I’m also always searching for someone I trust to care for my own dog when we have plans or travel. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, and I understand the peace of mind that comes from finding the right person. That’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. While I welcome friendly dogs of all breeds, English Bulldogs will always have VIP status in my home. As a Bulldog mom myself, there’s just something special about the breed. I understand their unique personalities, quirks, and care needs. I work full-time, so my availability is primarily geared toward drop-in visits, evening care, weekend care, and date nights. My goal isn’t to become a full-time pet sitter—it’s to help fellow dog parents when they need someone they can trust while giving my own pup the opportunity to make some great canine friends. Your dog will be treated like one of the family while they’re in my home. I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and play, and inside they’re welcome to relax on the furniture right alongside us (if that’s what they’re used to at home!). I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. Because my English Bulldog lives here too, I’ll only accept dogs who are a good personality match so everyone feels safe, comfortable, and has fun together. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with friends—not just being watched

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garland
We truly can’t thank Meredith and John enough! They took care of our dog Louie while we were at the hospital welcoming our first baby, and having that peace of mind during such a big life moment meant everything to us. Knowing Louie was in such wonderful hands, having the best time with his pup friends and Meredith and John, was everything we could’ve hoped for. We are SO grateful for them!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Garland is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $65 per night. 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.

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.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 TN 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.
