Courtney was awesome with Diesel and Cooper! They loved her when she came to visit them beforehand. She was so sweet to even take Cooper out on a walk in the rainy weather. Will definitely rebook!

About: I have watched dogs for the last seven years. I have whelped multiple litters from my own dog and helped other people, I find happiness spending time with animals and making sure they are healthy and happy too. I am currently working from home and have lots of time on my hands. I am looking for some cute pets to occupy my time:) We will go for walks and play together. I will be sending you pictures and updates. I have a big fenced in yard, but if your dog prefers to stay inside, then my home is their home too.

Was agreeable to doing a drop in for our dog short notice when our other sitter couldn’t. Appreciated her communication with me on how the drop in went. Sent photos of their time together :)

About: I have always had pets in my life. When I was growing up, we would often adopt dogs and cats needing a loving home into our family! I also grew up sharing my home with adopted rabbits, birds, hamsters, and fish. I am a 20 year veteran teacher and would love to spend some of my summer time helping you take care of your fur babies. I'm coming to the end of my school year and have late afternoons into evenings free during the week, as well as full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I can do earlier mornings during the week if needed, but only for drop ins for morning feedings. I have a senior dog and cat in my home, so I will only be offering services at client's homes. My services include walking your dog, playing catch, lap time with kitty cats, belly rubs and more! Although you will see photos of my family with our pets in my profile, I will be taking care of your pet(s) without any assistance from others, and would be the only one coming to your home to visit or stay with your pet.

About: Hi! I’m someone who truly loves animals, especially dogs. I have an 11 month old puppy of my own, so I understand how much care, attention, and patience they need every day. I’ve also had other dogs in the past and regularly pet sit for friends and family, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I’m reliable, caring, and treat every dog like my own. I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. So it is currently softball season for me I’m in High school. I can usually do the afternoons around 5 and later and on. Also some days I can even do 1-3 hours. It usually just depends on my softball schedule but am willing to work around schedules. I currently have 1 dog his name is Willy and he’s a Boston terrier. He’s very self sufficient and I enjoy helping him and teaching him things. I also dog sit my uncles dogs he has a frenchie and a xl bull dog. They are very high energy leveled dogs so it takes a little more but I can handle that because they’re just very friendly and want to play. I also used to take care of 2 bunnies for my aunt. I’m gentle, patient, cautious, and caring, when it comes to animals.

About: My summer break just started, so I'd love to spend as much time with dogs as I can. I'm known as the crazy dog lady among my friends - they tag me in almost every dog photo/video they see on social media. I had multiple dogs in the house growing, so I know how to take care of them - they were pretty much family and treated like my siblings. That's the same care I'll show your dogs during my stay. I'm available most times throughout the week and weekend, so don't hesitate to contact me. Can't week to meet and work with you and your fur babies! I’m a teacher on summer vacation with plenty of free time for pet care. I will be in town almost the entire summer, so I am available for anytime! I have a lot of experience nannying in people's houses, so I'll be sure to leave your place just as I found it. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible.

Yung was absolutely amazing! She cared for both my cat and my bird as if they were her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving, capable hands. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away. I came home to two happy, healthy pets and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! 🐱❤️🐦 5 stars all the way!

About: Hi! I am your fur baby's new best friend! I've owned dogs for over 20 years. Volunteered at shelters, taken in strays and found them homes, and adopted as well. I have sat for countless friends and family over the years and now I'd like to become an entrepreneur of sorts, doing what brings me joy! PLEASE NOTE: Owner is responsible for communicating any parking restrictions or limitations. Agreeing to book with me means that tickets or towing incurred during booking timeframe will be at owners expense!!! Open schedule currently. I am able to accommodate and work around sudden schedule changes. Looking to sit at least 3 times a week. Book me please! I respect others pets and property and treat it as my own. Reputation and trust are important and if a family is so kind to consider me to take care of their furbaby, I would do nothing to jeopardize that trust.

We had Megan come in the morning for a walk and in the evening for a check-in. This is the fourth time we have used Megan. We have always been happy and grateful with how she handles Finley Magee. We highly recommend Megan, and we will continue to ask Megan watch Finley. This was the longest we spent time away from Finley Magee. It was hard for us to leave your 4-legged baby and I know it would be hard for our pup too. Megan put us at ease with her detailed progress reports during each visit. Megan’s knowledge, flexibility, compassion, and patience is incredible. By day 3, Finley was jumping around and excited to see Megan. We are very fortunate to have Megan help us with Finely Magee! Thank you Megan!!

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

About: I’ve been friends & family’s go-to sitter since I can remember, and right out of high school it easily became a part-time job and at one point, dog walking was my full time job. It’s something I love to do! With all of my experience with different dogs, I feel very prepared and knowledgeable for handling any unexpected situations. I’m usually helping puppers get their steps in, but i’m also available for drop-in visits & hangs outs with them if you’re away on a trip! (Cats as well- love them just as much). I hope I get to help you with your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule. I am in classes and have a part time job, but neither of them consume an entire day. just let me know what you’re looking for and i’m sure we’ll work something out! First priority will always be comfort and safety for the fur babies, so any blankets or toys they need they will absolutely have. Any time I have pets staying with me they will never be left alone or out of my sight!

About: I have always had a heart for animals. Growing up we had everything from dogs & cats to snakes & fish in our home. Over the years I have cared for and fostered many animals outside of my own. I have three years of experience working in Veterinary clinics as an assistant veterinary technician/receptionist and have hands on training for dogs & cats of all ages and breeds. This also allows me to care for animals that might have more medical needs than others. I am fortunate enough to have a job that allows me two days off for every one day I work and I enjoy spending my days off outside with my own pets as well as the others I am able to care for! I am a very active individual so your furry friend will get plenty of walk/outdoor time with me. I have a large yard for pets that enjoy outside time and the inside of my home is pet friendly as well. I personally have a dog and cat, both of which are great with other animals! I can also host/accommodate pets that need to be separated as I have spare rooms as well.

About: I have always been enthusiastic about animals since I was little. I have never once lived without a dog. Starting in my high school years, I have sat for multiple dogs belonging to different relatives, along with working at a doggy daycare. Currently, I have a senior chihuahua mix of my own! I'm currently home for the summer on a break from college. I'm free to take care of your dog at basically any time and any day. I am also very willing to adjust myself around my clients' schedules! Safety is a priority for me and I always pay close attention to a dog's unique needs. I make sure a dog is supervised as much as possible throughout the day. I also carefully consider a dog's body language and personal space.

Matthew is a wonderful dog sitter. He stepped in when our scheduled sitter couldn't stay. He is kind, gentle, no-nonsense and timely. Our dogs fell in love with him. He gave me such peace of mind because the meet-and-greet and sit dates were so close together. I was stressed and he quickly put me at ease. He sends great updates with pictures that showed how happy the dogs were with him. You won't regret booking him.

Nicole is absolutely outstanding! From start to finish, her communication was incredible, and she took amazing care of our dogs. I never had to worry for a second because I knew they were in the best hands. The photo updates were awesome, and it meant so much to see our dogs looking so happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Nicole went above and beyond, and it truly showed. We will only be booking Nicole moving forward. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, caring, and genuinely great with dogs, Nicole is the one. I cannot recommend her enough!

Madelyn was awesome! This was our first time using Rover. I was nervous at first, but Madelyn gave us so much reassurance. She provided photos of every visit, which really set a peace of mind! I was also nervous about a stranger having access to my house without my presence, but everything was in the same place, nothing tampered, and nothing missing! She also followed our directions to the T! Overall, we will be booking with Madelyn again in the future! Highly recommend!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Garland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Garland on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 7,930 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Garland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Garland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Garland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Garland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
