“Avery is awesome! She was incredibly responsive, coordinated with last minute requests, stopped by exactly when she said she would, and took great care of my cat while I was away. She kept me updated and made the whole process completely stress-free. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Courtney is absolutely amazing. She is so sweet with our crazy mini Aussie and our chi-Pom. She is on time, loving to the pups, and very respectful. Would recommend her to everyone!”
“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!”
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’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.
“John was a great friend to our doggo meatball! He followed all my instructions accordingly and insured meatball had proper care, play time, and fun during their visits! I would recommend John to any pet parents looking for a responsible person who communicates quickly to look after their pups! Thanks again John! We will be using you again!”
“James is a rockstar! He is so personable and takes the best care of our kitty. He’s responsive and always sends pictures and updates. We are happy to be repeat customers with James!”

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.
“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!!”
“Ashley takes such great care of our baby Grogu… he loves being with her and can’t wait for her to come to our house and play and have fun!! Highly recommend Ashley!!”

About: As long as I could remember, I have had a furry friend next to me. Dogs have always been my passion. Friends, family and neighbors rely on me to accommodate their pets. I really started taking care of dogs when I was eight and since then, I haven’t stopped. Walking them, feeding, or even giving belly scratches will always be part of my routine. If you and your furry friend have different rules y'all follow, don’t be afraid to let me know! I want to make sure you and your friend feel comfortable. I welcome anything and anyone! I’m currently working a part time job, so i’ll have time for anything as of right now! I am also a college student but I only go to school twice a week.

Having a healthy environment around your and my own pets, will be my top priority. Having time and space will help everyone in the long run. It’s important for me to reassure them and keep them comfortable as possible. It can be playing catch with them, taking them on walks or giving them endless belly scratches.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garland
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!
Nicole is absolutely the best! We have two large dogs, and she went above and beyond in every possible way. She took AMAZING care of our pups and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She thought of everything—from turning on the porch lights, putting on Disney movies for the dogs, and adding ice to their water bowls, to sending timely updates and always being responsive. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our dogs as if they were her own. This was our first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Nicole made the entire experience so wonderful and stress-free. I truly cannot say enough great things about her. We can’t wait to book with her again, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!
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!

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.

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.

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.
