“Megan came in for a drop in visit with my 5 month old goldendoodle! She was absolutely wonderful. She took him out, gave him lots of love and play time, and was great about giving me updates! Would highly recommend using Megan!”
“Mary has been absolutely amazing with my two giant pups! 🐾❤️ They’re a whole lot of dog, and she has been so sweet, patient, and caring with them. She always goes above and beyond during her visits, and I love the pictures she sends me, they always look SO happy to see her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re happy and being loved on while I’m away. She’s quickly become one of their favorite people, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have raised my two pups from the puppy stage all the way into their senior years, so I’m very used to all the different stages and personalities that come with dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, brushing, basic routines, and of course lots of love and attention. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family plenty of times, so I know how important it is to keep your pup on their normal routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog is super energetic, shy, cuddly, or just wants someone to hang out with, I’ll treat them like one of my own and send you plenty of cute updates along the way! I work a full time office job Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, so I have a little more flexibility on those days for drop ins, walks, or check ins. I’m available before work or after 5 PM depending on what your pet needs. Weekends are super flexible for me, and I’m usually available throughout the day for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting. I’m always happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as I can, so feel free to message me and we can figure out what works best for you and your furry baby! I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I’ll always treat your furry baby like I would my own. I’m happy to follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’ll also keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m more than happy to send pictures and little updates during each visit so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well taken care of!
“Jenny has been amazing with our puppy! She was so patient with him when he was shy in the beginning and really helped build his confidence. She has also been extremely flexible and has great communication!”
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with hands on experience in both clinical and shelter settings. I currently work at an animal shelter as a Veterinary Assistant. In addition to my veterinary training, I have volunteered for two years with Friends of Rescue Animals, assisted at PetSmart, and have volunteered with Animal Allies of Texas for over 3 years. I have experience with feeding routines, monitoring behavior/health changes, cleaning, and helping animals feel comfortable. I am confident handling pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a CVA, I’m trained to recognize signs of illness, stress, and discomfort, which allows me to provide attentive care. I currently work full-time (5 days weekly) but I am available all day Mon and Wed for any service that your pet will need. I can easily crate any animals if needed. I prioritize the safety and comfort of animals and following routines. I make sure pets always have water, are fed (according to owner's instructions), and get the exercise, playtime, and attention they need. I learn each pet's personalities, needs, and preferences when caring for them.
“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: I’ve been a dog mom for 7 years. I have 2 fur babies: Roxy and Daisy. I love dogs with every fiber of my being! My girls and I always do something together: we love walks, hikes in the nature and daily obedience training. I am also a very active individual so I can assure you that your fur baby will be exercised and mentally stimulated on my watch. I believe in the importance of mental enrichment as well as daily physical activity for all dogs no matter their age and breed. It’s important to meet your dog’s needs on a daily basis. My older dog Roxy is also a senior dog so I understand how vital it is to accommodate her needs while still ensuring she gets an adequate amount of activity and rest. I can teach your dog basic commands and fun tricks as well as do mental enrichment games and puzzles. I currently work part-time: I offer in-home personal chef services to clients all over DFW area. I am able to set my own schedule and I have weekly as well as weekend availability to care for dogs. I’m willing to care for your fur baby in your home. I’m very flexible and will do my best to accommodate your unique needs and requests. I’m also married so when I’m away I know that my husband will take care of our dogs.
“Courtney was fantastic. She cared for our two babies (??) and we were very pleased. I loved seeing the pictures from the daily visits, which felt like we were never away. Luna and Lola were very happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend her!”
“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!!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I have experience raising four dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility, attention, and affection pets need. I’ve also cared for birds in the past, which helped me become more attentive and patient with different types of animals. I’m very gentle, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times—just like they would at home. I work part-time but I am available to take care of your little friend on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12pm and on weekends Saturday and Sunday from 12pm I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in their own home. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, routines, and preferences to ensure consistency and reduce stress for the pet. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of the surroundings, and avoid unsafe areas. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel safe, cared for, and happy at all times. I am respectful of clients’ homes, reliable, and maintain clear communication, providing updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and bring a calm, patient energy that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped with crate training, leash manners, and administering medications, and I’m great at tuning into each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the way I connect with animals. I treat every pet like family and always take my time to build trust. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or a quiet presence, I adapt to what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make space in my schedule to give them the attention they deserve. I’m flexible during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, especially in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I plan my days around each pet’s needs and make sure I’m fully present during every visit. Whether it's a short walk or an overnight stay, your pet will always be my top priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash preferences and medication. I double-check doors, gates, and collars to ensure everything is secure during walks or visits. I also create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive to their body language, needs, and routines, and I always send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.
“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’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.

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: 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.

Min did an incredible job taking care of our pets and home while we were out of town. She was so sweet to them and earned their trust. We loved seeing the videos and photos each day so we had peace of mind and knew our fur babies were in great hands. We will definitely be rebooking with her the next time we go out of town.
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!
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. 🩷
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.

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.
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.

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.
