“Emily was wonderful with Jux! Not only was she able to take on the request last minute, but was super responsive, wanted to know precise care instructions to ensure Jux was happy, and kept me updated while I was out of town with visit updates! I am sure I will be requesting Emily again for dog sitting Jux during any future business trips, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an above qualified and caring new friend for their dog or cat!!!”
“Olivia was awesome. She immediately became good friends with Pebble, provided helpful updates each drop-in with photos and what she did each visit, a check-up on our home, and arrive on time each day!”
“Lillie was a true professional. She came over the day before she was to start to meet Max, Callie, and me. It gave me a chance to walk her through my expectations and a chance for her to ask questions. When I returned home, my pets were calm and well-fed. Everything was clean and neat. I also appreciated a text when she arrived and when she left, along with the pictures she took. I couldn't be more satisfied.”
“natalie was incredible! she came over for a meet and greet and left great notes after every visit. lots of photos of my happy girls! i would definitely recommend her”
“Erin accomplished exactly what I requested. Although I was a bit concerned because I had never left Molly in the care of a sitter, there was no reason for my concern. I had indicated to Erin that I would leave pee pads and bags for their disposal, I completely forgot to leave bags. Erin “figured it out” on her own which I appreciate so much. I will definitely request Erin again should the need arise.”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had a Labrador Retriever, a Golden Retriever, and a cat, so I have personal experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services in my hometown, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy going on walks, playing, giving pets attention, and keeping them company. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your furry family members like my own! I’m a full-time pet sitter available on weekends any time of the day all day and weekdays after 3 PM. I love spending time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine as much as possible and will always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover and full-time pet sitter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in loving and dependable hands.
About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (dog and epileptic kitten), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! I am available most weekends. I also work from home often, which provides me more flexibility. However, days I am in the office, I am available mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have an epileptic kitten, so am no stranger to anything pet related.
“Jodi did a fabulous job taking care of my Senegal Parrot over the Labor Day weekend. She sent me pictures and an update daily, and was regularly there at the time she said she’d be there. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again the next time I leave town.”
“Julie was AMAZING with my dog!! I booked her for drop in visits with my 2 year old lab mix and she was incredible with him. She was super communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet through the actual visits. And she took lots of adorable pictures of my pup!! Julie was attentive with the details I left about him and made sure to give him lots of love throughout her visits. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who is looking for a sitter!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my own dog, Ferg, is truly family. He has taught me just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet when you can’t be there. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give Ferg. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or curling up on the couch for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. Communication is a priority for me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and loved—because they deserve to be treated like family, just as Ferg is to me. I work a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care, and I intentionally plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I have time for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other special care your pet requires. I know pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean and secure, bringing in packages if requested, watering plants, and providing regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Growing up I've always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I’ve got experience of 10 months at an open play facility specifically for dogs. I also have experience in senior care and more temperamental dogs who need a little more time to trust. I have a Pembroke welsh corgi who is 3 and is completely spoiled and knows it. My goal here is to make sure your dog is happy and stress free while you’re away!🐾 I currently work part time. I have every weekend off. And 1 day thru out the week off. I usually get off right before the sunset so perfect timing for night walks when it’s not so hot on the pups. (Please note I can only edit my availability out so far due to my schedule at my part time job. I update my availability as soon as I get my schedule.) 😊I would be more then happy to meet ur pup! As I do drop in visits, I will always make sure your dog has clean water and exercise. I can feed any kind of food/medication as I do understand every dog has a different diet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garland
Emily was absolutely wonderful with Harley and Winnie this past weekend! ❤️ It gave us such peace of mind knowing our sweet pups were in such loving hands. We are so grateful for her kindness, communication and care and would happily trust her with our fur babies again! Highly recommend! 🐾💕
Once again, Sabrina was awesome!! Our Tucker actually comes out of hiding for her and gets lots of pets while we are gone. Sabrina is dependable, easy to communicate with, and writes the best updates - she gives us a great feel for how our little buddy is doing. She takes out the garbage and cleans up the throw-ups. What's not to love!!!
Erin accomplished exactly what I requested. Although I was a bit concerned because I had never left Molly in the care of a sitter, there was no reason for my concern. I had indicated to Erin that I would leave pee pads and bags for their disposal, I completely forgot to leave bags. Erin “figured it out” on her own which I appreciate so much. I will definitely request Erin again should the need arise.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Garland is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $26 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 1,180 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Garland. 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 Garland. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
