“Cristina did a great job caring for Dolly while I was out of town. Dolly had some sudden diarrhea issues and Cristina contacted me to work out some special feeding alternatives. I felt confident Cristina would know what to do and also stay in touch with me so I knew what was going on.”
“Nichole was wonderful! She kept in contact with me throughout the whole booking period and was accommodating when my flight got canceled. She followed all instructions for my dog well and made sure he was well cared for. Would highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach to pet care and my dedication to ensuring each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need training, play, and patience, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication management, and extra TLC. Additionally, I focus on understanding each pet’s unique personality and routines, tailoring my care to their specific needs. With excellent communication, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. For me, pet care is more than a service—it’s a passion! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize providing consistent, loving attention to the pets I care for. Each day is structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and quiet relaxation to ensure the pets feel happy and secure. I adapt my schedule to accommodate each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s administering medications, offering extended outdoor exercise, or just snuggling on the couch. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s a passion. My week revolves around creating a safe, happy environment for every pet I look after, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. I provide attentive and personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. In my home, I ensure a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog feels like part of the family. This includes regular walks, feeding on schedule, plenty of playtime, and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I maintain their daily routines, such as feeding, walking, and administering any medications. I respect your home, keeping it clean and secure while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Communication is key—I provide regular updates and photos to keep you at ease.
About: Dogs require more energy in comparison to other animals. I have taken care of and trained puppies to adults. I am specialized in feeding, grooming, bathing, and giving medications to dogs! I’m currently working a part-time job which leaves lots of room for animal care! I enjoy surrounding myself with loving animals and am always available to commute! As I will only be able to care for pets in clients’ home's, I feel as though respecting the clients requests and boundaries are the most important. Communication and building a relationship is the key to creating a loveable sitter for your pets!
“Thank you very much for Kathleen's help to take care of our cat Miao Miao while we are on a trip overseas. Kathleen is very passionate and cares about our pet. We would definitely reach out to her the next time when we need help.”
“She is legit the sweetest and most professional young lady. I had a dog sitter for the past 3 years but she moved to NYC. I contacted Jadah and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my sweet girl with her. I travel for work and she will be my absolute go to forever !!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs from previous working at doggy daycares. Cleaning, giving medication, understanding dogs behaviors, and creating a positive fun environment are all important to me when taking care of animals. I’ve looked over small, medium and big dogs before, and I have three cats of my own. One senior cat and two younger ones! I have always loved taking care of animals and can assure you they’ll be safe in my care. Im currently in college and attend UNT in Denton. My schedule now for the fall looks like I’m more available in the afternoons and Thursday after 11:30/ Friday -Sunday the times I’m for sure available unless otherwise! I will definitely communicate with you if anything changes or when I have breaks, for breaks throughout the school year I will most likely be back in Dallas, Texas and will change my location for when that happens, so if you see my location in Dallas that means I’m home for the week! :) Safety is my number one priority when working with animals. I like to ensure that the back yard is fenced so no one escapes! If wanting to go to the dog park, I always ensure Im focused and have no distractions Incase of an emergency. For cats I don’t let them outside unless owner says otherwise. My cats personally are all indoor cats :)

I say that so you know your baby will not have the freedom to attempt escape.
“Iliana has been so amazing with my 6 month puppy! Luna loves Iliana and I have so much ease of mind knowing she is taken care of while I am at work. Iliana was even so flexible and accommodating when my puppy was still recovering from surgery and had some extra needs. She is great at communicating and is very professional and responsible. I can tell that Iliana helps get Luna’s extra energy out during the day and is helping with basic training. Thank you Iliana for all your hard work!!”

About: My dog, LJ Gibbs, is around 8 years old, and he truly is a man's best friend. I love playing with him, taking him on walks, feeding him, and honestly just learning who he is as a dog. Having Gibbs has taught me that every dog has their own personality, habits, and way of communicating. I enjoy getting to know those little things and understanding what makes each dog comfortable and happy. Right now I have a pretty flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my day. I already make time for my own dog, LJ Gibbs, whether it’s feeding him, taking him for walks, playing with him, or just spending time together. Taking care of a dog is already part of my everyday routine, so caring for another one fits naturally into my schedule. When I’m caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the routine you already have in place, whether that means feeding times, walks, playtime, or just hanging out with them. I know every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their personality and what they’re comfortable with. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine.
About: Family and friends always come to me to dog sit. I have taken care of senior dogs to puppy’s and every age and size between. Currently work as a professional petsitter. I am around pets all day and would love to add more to my schedule. Pets are my passion! When going into your home my goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible. After, making sure the pet is let out, has water, and any other needs taken care of.

I really appreciate how quickly she responded and kept me updated throughout the trip. I def recommend her ! Book with her if you don’t want to worry about your fur babies while you’re away.”
About: My boyfriend and I have grown up with dogs and miss having them around! We travel too much to get a dog at this point, so we love being able to Rover to have them around when we are home. We have a single story home with lots of room and a backyard with a pool, perfect for letting them running around! I work full time at home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to accommodate any feeding, walking and sleeping schedule that is needed. We live in a single story home with a fenced in backyard. We also have a pool, which we are happy to let dogs swim in if they know how to swim. I am happy to have a crate if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life never have I ever had a house without animals, they are just apart of my world. My grandma has a huge heart for animals just like me and she taught me everything to care for a fur baby. I can even say sometimes I my fur babies more than my boyfriend haha!! I’m currently working part time but I only usually work in the mornings and get off at 2pm so I would have a lot time to care for the fur babies. Make sure they are all cleaned up and nothing around the house that can cause them harm. They definitely will get all my love and affection. I will definitely regulate not letting them out my site and when taking them on walks make sure that lease is secure cause I have some big dogs and jeez they be pulling haha but good thang I get a nice strong lease.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garland
Matthew was absolutely wonderful! He was professional, dependable, and communicative throughout the entire experience. He kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind knowing Remi was in good hands while I was away. I really appreciated his attentiveness, flexibility, and willingness to help on short notice. It was such a positive experience, and I’m grateful for the care he provided. I would absolutely book with Matthew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Nicole is fantastic and my pup Patches loves her! I was in a bit of a bind with my pup being under the weather and an international vacation just around the corner. Nicole came through on short notice and provided great care by giving Patches his daily meds and the overall love he needed to feel safe while I was away. She sent me daily updates (food, water, walk etc) and multiple pics which gave me such peace to enjoy this trip knowing Patches was well cared for. I highly recommend Nicole and will rebook in the future!
Miranda is our go to for all our vacations away from our babies! She is so attentive and so helpful! Always very communicative and responsive. It feels so good to be able to leave our pets at home and know they are in safe and loving hands! Thank you sweet Miranda for everything you do! Our pups LOVE YOU!
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!

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.
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.

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.

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 .
