“We had a wonderful experience with Min! She communicated really well and sent us lots of updates and pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind leaving our fur baby with her. Knowing our pet was in good hands made it so much easier to enjoy our time away without worrying. We truly appreciate her care, attentiveness, and thoughtfulness. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter and we will definitely use her services again.”
“Here's a more detailed version: I had an amazing experience with Doloris, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided for my dog. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. One of the things I appreciated most was that she kept me updated throughout my dog's stay by sending pictures and videos every day. Seeing my dog happy, relaxed, and having fun gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was getting plenty of attention, love, and exercise. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Doloris to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog boarder. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“I’ve been going to Amy for over 2 years and there’s no one else I trust 100% to watch my dog. I travel a ton for work and she’s always giving me tons of pictures and any important updates when I’m away. She treats my dog Eros like he’s part of the family and he loves getting ready to go to her house. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garland
Wow! My family finally took a vacation without worrying or feeling guilty for boarding our dog. Colt is a good boy, but usually takes quite a while to warm up to strangers. Matthew met Colt & from day one we could tell Colt was at ease. Matthew has such a calm, loving demeanor that our dog took to him instantly! We are SO very grateful that God put Matthew in our path. We highly recommend his services!
Min was stepmommy & Max ( her son) were wonderful to Ide’Claire & Yippie for 11 days. She sent videos daily. Yippie was stuck to Max! Always on top of him. Ide’Claire was attached to Min. Prior to my departure I was crying. My babies are with me 24/7. Worried about leaving due to small sizes, hypoglycemia being fragile. Yippie has almost died twice in the past eight months. She had been on I.V.’s due to blood sugar dropping and going into a coma. She needs Nutracal or food every five hours to keep her blood sugar regulated. So many instructions for Min I was concerned. She must have thought I was crazy. Yippie cannot have unfiltered water. She literally turns dark brown her face and then her back end after she uses the restroom. Sent bottled water to Min and she followed all immense instructions. She was concerned herself before taking the reservation. She and Max came to my home to meet us. Both animals loved them both immediately. Once Min started sending videos and pictures never worried as both babies were always on top of them or playing. Thought they were growing. Yesss, absolutely grew. Upon arrival back home Yippie gained .75 and Ide’Claire gained 1 pound. Both only three and four pound weight before departure. That tells you Min certainly fed them and they didn’t miss their Mommy. Some dogs get upset and will not eat. It was a concern for me. Chose Min because I knew from her pics my animals would love the attention of the added bonus of attention from her sons. They slept in her bed as if her own children. They didn’t miss a thing. Actually Ide’Claire has missed Min. She has woken up during the middle of the night, moves away, just sits thinking. I have to tell her, It’s okay and love on her. Never ever has it happened in her lifetime. If you want your babies coming home better than the way you left them you’ll want Min & Max. Mine came home cleaner, trimmed nails and fatter! Will definitely go back to visit often no doubt. I won’t even cry next time.
Anthony was absolutely amazing! Constantly stayed in touch to give us updates during our booking with pictures and videos. Only downside is I believe our puppy likes he's backyard better than the one she has at home! Would highly recommend Anthony to anyone in need of dog sitting.
Jenny did a fantastic job dog sitting Oliver! She took great care of him, made sure he was happy and comfortable, and gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We really appreciate her care and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Megan is so great with Apollo (Great Dane) & Bella (Husky)! Apollo is abit more sensitive and has been so comfortable with Megan. She takes amazing care of both of them even though they can definitely be a handful! Grateful to have someone we can feel fully comfortable with leaving our fur babies with!
Cam was phenomenal! This was Milo’s first time staying with Cam, and he was also recovering from an injury, so I really appreciated how attentive and mindful Cam was of his needs. From all the updates, Milo had a blast! I would highly recommend Cam to anyone looking for a sitter!
Once again, Kenny came through for us! 🐾❤️ He is such a great and dependable dog sitter, and you can truly tell how much he loves and cares for Bella and Honey. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our girls are in good hands while we’re away. They are always well taken care of and loved. We truly appreciate Kenny and will definitely continue using him. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Garland is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 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.
95% 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 TX 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.
