“James was absolutely outstanding and we have already planned to use him again. Very responsive and seems to genuinely care about our pets. He went over and above (literally) to make sure our guy was well taken care of. Very highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that each pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping a pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I start classes at UTD on August 24, but I’ll still have time to provide dependable care before and after classes, as well as on many weekends. I also attend church on Thursdays and Sundays, so I plan my schedule around those commitments. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special care requests. I take time to help pets feel comfortable and make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay aware of our surroundings. In a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Courtney took great care of my dogs and house while I was out of town. She was extremely flexible with the scheduled drop ins and very responsive to any messages. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“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: What sets me apart is my strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I'm licensed in two professional fields (pharmacy technician trainee and esthetician), which means I bring a high level of care, reliability, and professionalism to everything I do, including pet care! I have a flexible 24/7 schedule, so I can spend quality time with your pet. I’m also experienced with anxious pets and pets who have a disability and need personalized assistance. Whether I’m walking a high-energy puppy or comforting a nervous older dog, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and lots of love. Hi! I'm a college student at the University of North Texas at Dallas, with a flexible 24/7 schedule and a deep love for animals. I’m responsible, experienced, and available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my #1 priority! I’d love to meet your furry friend 😊 I always treat any animal as a member of my family. I will follow the pet owners' directions to maintain the dog/cat routine accurately on a day-to-day basis. (Feeding, potty breaks, medications if needed, playtime, and walks) If I am in the owner's home, I will respect necessary living spaces and keep things clean and organized in the home. I will also maintain a safe, relaxed, and friendly space for your furry friend! I will include regular photos and updates to keep you satisfied with my visit. My goal is to create a calm, caring, and fun environment so your pet feels comfortable and loved while you're away. 🐾
About: I have babysat many of my friends' cats in the past couple years. This past year alone, I have fostered and babysat 15 kitties! One of which I helped give birth. I have cared for kitties of all ages, and love spoiling all of them! Due to my small apartment, I have been mainly caring for cats. However, I grew up with puppies my entire life and enjoy caring for them as well! I am pretty active and would love to take puppies out for long walks :) My daily routine mainly consists of work at home and studying, so I am free most of the week to care for your furbabies! I am pretty active so if your pet enjoys long walks, I'm your gal! I live at home with 3 other adults who work ful time. Pretty large backyard with brick walls (likely not tall enough to contain a malinois). Safe neighborhood for walks too :)
“Avery was amazing! We felt completely at ease knowing Aoki and Millie were in such great hands while we were away for the weekend. It was so nice to see how happy and comfortable they were during her visits. We especially appreciated all of the pictures and updates she sent each day. It made being away from them so much easier and gave us peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. We’re incredibly grateful for Avery and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and thoughtful pet sitter. We would happily book with her again!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. I help out my friends and family with their pets when needed. I love playing and walking with pups. I can help with feeding and any special needs or quirks your animal may have. I work from home and love getting outside whenever I have the chance. I have a flexible work schedule and during the weekend I’m home playing with my dog! When going outside I would always make sure a leash is on if there isn’t a fence. Always be on lookout for glass or trash on the sidewalk.
“Ashley is fantastic. She had constant communication and asked very important questions for my girls. There was no doubt that they were receiving wonderful care. Book her if she is available!!!”
“I could not say thank you enough to Cam!! She went above and beyond for our fur babies! And at a short notice! She made sure they were so loved 🥰 They may even love Cam more than us now! If you want to make sure your sitter goes above and beyond, book with Cam!”
“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: Animal lover with many years of experience, tons of references can be provided, founder of a non-profit animal rescue. Your dog will beg to come back I currently work remote from home other than occasional visits to clients in the metroplex. Dogs are frequently let out in 2-4 hour windows (unless special needs are requested and I will gladly accommodate) for potty and play time Fenced backyard yard, two senior dogs, a standard poodle and a Chi-mix, who are pet friendly and are accustom to having all ages and breeds of dogs come for occasional boarding.
“Miki did a great job with my fur babies! I felt confident leaving them in her care while I was away. She was punctual, responsive, and provided great detail about how my cats were doing during her visits!”
About: Hello, my name is Sherri. I am a mom of six, Nonna to three grandbabies, and a mom to two fur babies: a Bassdore (Basset hound/Lab mix) named Abbey and a tabby named Birdie. Although I am new to pet sitting, I have cared for dogs (mostly) and cats throughout my life. As adults, my late husband and I have owned numerous breeds of dogs, from Chihuahuas and German Shepherds to Siberian Huskies, an Akita, and several mixed breeds. I also frequently look after my daughter's three dogs when she goes out of town. I've used Rover and other pet sitting services many times when I travel, so I understand how reassuring it is to know your pets are well cared for while you’re away. I am available for Drop-In Visits and Boarding. My kids (still at home), ages 9 and 18, love all animals, so your fur baby will never lack attention! I am currently not working, so I have some flexibility. I do have to take my high schooler to school and pick him up from after-school activities, and I have to be home to put my 3rd grader, who is special needs, on the bus and be home in the afternoon to get him off the bus. For Boarding: I have a spacious fenced yard with a covered patio. My Basset Hound Lab mix, Abbey, enjoys playdates. If your pet prefers solitude, I can close off the living room and dining/kitchen area to keep them separated. My boys, who are still at home, are 9 and 18, and they will give lots of love and attention. For drop-in visits, I am happy to provide any necessary care and handle extra tasks such as watering plants, retrieving the mail, or taking out the trash. However, I cannot do walks due to a wonky knee, which limits my walking distance.
About: I’m a dog mom of 4 rescues (2 English Bulldogs, 1 Frenchie & 1 Retriever Mix)! I love pets & treat any animal as if they’re my own. I’m currently am in school part-time and am home most days! My husband works from home and we also have a gated fence with a doggy door, so your dogs will always have access to a large backyard. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door that theh can use to go outside. I am also okay with pets on furniture and our beds. If needed, we can also create a small, safe space for peaceful privacy.
About: Retired so I'm able to devote plenty of 1-on-1 time to care, play, and snuggle with your precious family member as if they were my own furr babies. I've also had my own dogs, like Norwegian Elkhounds, Labs and various mutts, as well as, small ones like Maltese snuggle buddies. I've also had the privilege of cats adopting me (felines pick their humans 😆) and entrusting me to care for 6 of their adorable kittens. Since I'm retired and other then working out for 1 hr 3x week and grocery shopping 1x week, I integrate my personal life around your pet and can cater to how much time they need to feel comfortable and loved. If you require my services in your own home, I'm a pretty quiet, clean retired and responsible adult. If you need boarding at my home, i have a clean, large backyard with a protective 8 foot fence for plenty of exploring and other fun activities.
About: I’ve been a dog owner all my life, so giving proper and loving care has always been apart of my daily routine! For the past year, I have had the opportunity to dog sit for family, friends, and clients caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities! I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always strive to provide dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners can have peace of mind. Hi!! My name is Chloe! I am recently a highschool graduate and I wanted to find a fun way to save for my future education in college! Pet care fits very well in my schedule because I prioritize planning my day around the pets I’m caring for! I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to help each dog feel comfortable and cared for. I believe in sticking to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, exercise, and medication schedule while giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, and I always pay close attention to their individual needs. I also enjoy sending photo updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
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.
About: Im a traveler, all over DFW. I have always had a dog since I was young and even helped a couple with birthing their puppies. Experienced with all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. Including with ESA and dogs with anxiety issues. I care about safety and health well being of your fur baby. I currently have a 10 year old female Great Pyrenees named Winter. I have full time availability to focus on the care of your fur baby plus, My schedule is flexible, especially for those last minute emergencies. Each client varies; assure the pet is comfortable with my presence before entering the area. Clean up or tidy up anything that is out of place. Walk the dog or let out in the backyard. Fill their bowls with food and/or water. I have administered syringe drops in mouth/ears and/or provide tablet medicine as well. Assure that the dog/ is secure in their cage and/or comfortable in their environment before leaving.

This was our first time with Min, and she did a fantastic job with our 13 week-old Drusilla! Min followed our instructions to the letter, and had great communication and flexibility all around. She was very patient, taking her time to work with our somewhat reactive and shy large breed puppy. We will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Min!!
This is the second time Nicole has watched my boys, and I truly couldn’t be happier with her! She goes above and beyond every single time, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing they are in such great hands while I’m away. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares, and I can already tell my dogs absolutely love her. Nicole is reliable, thoughtful, and treats my boys like they are her own. She provides the kind of care and attention that every pet owner hopes for. If you’re looking for someone you can trust and want complete peace of mind while you’re away, I highly, highly recommend Nicole! We are so grateful to have found her. 🩷
This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone outside of family, and Matthew made the entire experience stress-free. He knew exactly what to share in his check-in updates and always kept us informed, which helped us feel completely at ease while we were away. He went above and beyond in caring for our pups and we are beyond thankful. It was clear from the updates and photos that they were getting plenty of attention and great care. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with him again!
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!
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!

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 .

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.

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.
