“Maria showed up on very short notice to walk Pete for the first time. First she allowed some time for him to feel comfortable around her before taking him on a long walk. He came back very happy and wagging in full force. Will use Maria again. Highly recommend!!”
“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 with how she handles Finley Magee. We highly recommend Megan, and we will continue to have 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!”
About: I've owned dogs all of my life, worked with K-9 units during my 12 years in the military and I am a P..TS.D. service dog handler. I am trained in canine C.P.R and work in Emergency Veterinary Medicine. I am able to administer oral and injected medications if need be. I am also able to provide care for special needs dogs and have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I don't believe that there is such a thing as a bad dog or bad breed. And I know, being a dog owner and a service dog handler, that most pet owners are like me....they're NOT pets....they're FAMILY. Retired military and now retiring from Emergency Veterinary Medicine, so I'm now available 24/7 for pet care, walks and pet sitting, check-ins and even just stopping by to help administer medications, fluids or treatments prescribed by your veterinarian. Animals thrive on love and attention just like people do. Interaction and activity are crucial to physical and mental health. The only difference between humans and animals is that they're covered in fur and we have opposable thumbs.
About: I've helped friends, family, neighbors, co workers and many more by dog sitting, walking, feeding, and giving medicine to their pets. Have experience with a wide range of breeds including Great Danes, Cane Corsos, Rottweiler, Frenchies, Cavaliers, German Shepherds and many different cats lol. Also have experience with houses that have both dogs and cats. Currently working a hybrid schedule so am able to work my schedule around by helping and visiting families who need that help with their pets. Have always been inquisitive and go the extra step by asking any specific needs and researching before hand the breed so I can be best prepared for the pet and give them the best care and attention possible.
About: *If you would like me to do multiple 30 minute vists or walks, please book drops ins/walks. If you book house sitting please be aware it’s only one visit per day and I do not stay over night at a clients home* Hello, my name is Courtney and I’m your pets new best friend! I’ve always been told I have a “way” with animals and it has helped me create an understanding of them, their behavior and psychology. I was fortunate enough to be raised in a household with multiple dogs, cats and even exotics. The care and well being of animals is something I’ve been passionate about my entire life. In the future I’d like to go into the animal care or behavioral field so I’m trying to get as much experience in with as many different animals as possible! Special needs/seniors/etc are not a problem for me. I can guarantee that I will treat your dogs (or cats) with the same love and respect I show my own pack.
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 have worked 2 years in the vet field and grew up in the country and took care of dogs & cats! I did chores that involved exercising dogs, feeding & medicating dogs and cats, cleaning their areas and more! I am currently a stay at home fiancée! I spend most of my days cleaning the house, cooking & baking and taking care of our pup & kitty! I have a very friendly dog and cat with a huge backyard and dedicated cat room but the cat still has free roam of the house!
“An amazing dog sitter! They were reliable, caring, and treated our dog like their own. I loved getting updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved them. I highly recommend!”
“Nicole walked my big dog while I was gone for a weekend. She was very thoughtful to make sure my dog had everything she needed and that they walked places where my older dog is comfortable. I would definitely recommend.”
“Mary was great with our dog Cookie! While we were out of town she would walk Cookie daily while she was staying at my parents house and my mom said that Cookie was always very excited when she would get there. She was also very accommodating working with schedules and around bad weather. We’d definitely use Mary again for walking our Cookie!”
About: I’ve always taken care of dogs since I was little , me and my daughter love dogs and looking for something to keep us busy during the week I’m a stay at home mom so I have an open schedule. I’m home all day everyday and we always go to the park .. so this works perfect for me I have a fenced back yard , also have 2 dogs that they can play with but both have cages and can be put away anytime as needed .
“Ashley was wonderful during her visit with our pups! Even though it was just one visit, she was punctual, professional, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of. She communicated clearly, often, and followed all instructions perfectly. Because of this, I was confident our pups were in excellent hands! We truly appreciated her help on such short notice and would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“I am so thankful for Wesley! I injured my knee and haven’t been able to walk my dog. I could tell she was getting depressed. Then I found Wesley and he is really nice and so good with my dog. Now when Wesley comes to take her for a walk she is so happy and excited!! I am happy for her :) Thank you Wesley!!”
About: Hello my name is Amy and I am an excellent caretaker. I have patience and understand that our dogs are part of our families and need time and understanding. I have had many animals in my life and have enjoyed all of them. Animals love me and I love them back. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my baby. I will walk them, play with them and pick after them. You will always be satisfied with my service. I know that interaction for an animal is very important. I will always be kind and attentive. I am available during the day from 8:45 am to 2:45pm. I can take your pet for a regular walk or to the park or lake. I hope give me the chance to have fun and care for your dog.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Garland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Garland.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garland. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
