About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and personal experience. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, and giving plenty of love and attention. I’m always eager to learn your dog’s unique needs and preferences. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays and have most weekends free, allowing me to provide attentive, loving care and plenty of quality time for your fur babies When babysitting pets in my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go outside when needed, and I live in a great neighborhood for walks. I always follow the pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
“Min was great to work with and went over and beyond taking care of my cars and dog from a last minute drop in request over the weekend. She is very prompt and even left pet areas cleaner than I had. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook.”
“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: Kittens, senior cats, senior dogs, and pets from shy to boisterous have all received my care, without trouble. I pride myself on attention to detail. Flexible scheduling. I will do my best to work with your schedule. The best bet is weekends, but I am flexible. Dog walks in the mornings would be best in this summer heat Also late afternoons or evenings. Currently not offering doggie daycare or boarding in my home. Possibly In the future. In your home, I will follow your guidance when I accept the assignment.
About: I have babysat many of my friends' cats in the past couple years. This past year alone, I have fostered and babysat 30 kitties! One of which I helped give birth. I have cared for kitties of all ages, and love spoiling all of them! 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 :)
“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!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats and have owned both! Pet sitting isn't just a job for me, it brings me joy! I've been around animals all my life and I am also bilingual! I work part time only 8am to 1pm so I am fully available after that! On Saturdays I work 9-3! I'd love to fit in pet care anywhere after! I care for my 2 cats with constant love, attention, play time and stimulation! They are very well loved! I have also taken care of my family dog for almost my entire life! No matter what age or breed I am %100 capable!
“Karina did an awesome job! She was reliable and trustworthy coming to our home to check on our boys and play with them while we were out of town. We will be using her again!!”
“Demi was SO wonderful!!! She had 6 visits with my little guy while I was out of town and took such great care of him! Gave me lots of pictures and updates and went above and beyond! Will most definitely book with her again ❤️?”
“Nicole was awesome to work with! She left detailed notes in the pet updates and was always on time with visits. A great communicator and someone we'll definitely use again in the future!”
“First time using a sitter for my cats, and we could not be more pleased! My cats that rarely ever come out for guests were letting her pick them up by day 2! She is obviously an animal lover. Will definitely use her again next time. 🧡”
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life since I was a teen. I myself was the proud owner of a miniature schnauzer for over 16 years, so I understand the desire to take excellent care of your pet, ensuring they are fed, walked, and most of all, loved! I would take care of your pet like they were my own. I'm currently searching for a full-time position for work, so I'm able to be more flexible during the week than what is typical when I'm working full-time in an office setting. That being said, I am flexible to take care of your pet during the work day or in the evenings for the time being! I am a calm and easygoing individual who would be able to follow instructions you leave for me in order to provide the same structure and routine for your pet that they typically have with you at home.
“Latisha was excellent to work with! One of her greatest strengths was her communication! Every day she visited our two cats, we received 10+ photos of them. This greatly decreased our concerns about leaving them for the first time. She communicated clearly about any minor schedule changes so that we were always in the loop!”
About: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs through both personal experience and helping friends and family with their pets. I had a Golden Retriever for 5 wonderful years before he passed away from cancer. He taught me so much about love, patience and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I am comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels and understand how important it is to follow their individual routines and make them feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'd be happy to give them the care and attention they deserve! I am currently working part-time as a Physician Assistant, so pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule! I'm able to dedicate time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime and overnight stays when needed. I treat every pet like they're my own! I'll take the time to get to know their personality, routine and what makes them feel comfortable. I am happy to keep up with their schedule, walks, playtime and any special instructions you provide. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll be respectful of your space and make sure everything is secure. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, safe and loved while you're away!
About: I am a 19-year-old dog and cat lover with 8 years of experience caring for dogs. I have experience with potty training puppies, dog walking, and daily grooming such as brushing fur. I am patient, reliable, and passionate about providing loving care for every pet. I can also administer medication if needed. While I’m currently saving toward purchasing a car, I have reliable transportation options available and am more than happy to arrange a ride to and from your home when needed. Transportation won’t stop me from being there for you and your pet, and I’m always willing to make the extra effort to provide dependable and loving care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while attending school. I’m available most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. On weekends, I have the most time and flexibility, so I’m especially available for overnight pet sitting and can dedicate more time to providing attentive care. Although I’m currently saving toward purchasing a car, I have reliable temporary transportation options and can arrange transportation to and from an owner’s home when needed. I’m committed to being dependable, flexible, and attentive to each pet’s needs while making things as convenient as possible for their owner. I do not offer pet care in my own home, but when caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I always make sure pets are in a secure environment and closely supervise them during walks and activities. I believe it’s better to be safe than sorry, and I will treat your dog with the same love, care, and attention that I would give my own pet.
“We’ve had Miki watch our cats several times and each time she does an excellent job. She treats our cats as her own and we can tell they always have a great time. We always joke that our cats get their own “mini-vacation” when Miki is watching them 🙂”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garland
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!
Min was great!!! She sent us updates everyday and took a lot of pictures. She also put the mail and packages in our house, which we hadn't even asked her to do. She also went above and beyond regarding our cats. We just asked her to make sure they had food, but she scooped out the litter boxes and swept the floor too. Our dogs were very comfortable with her - we could tell by the photos she sent. We are extremely happy with Min and will want to use her again in the future!
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. 🩷
April was so wonderful with my cat! I was very worried about leaving him because he takes medication. But April's quick communication--and her love of cats--put me at ease. She was able to give him his meds without issue and sent me lots of pictures. I will absolutely book with her again!
Our 4, high-maintenance kitties were very well cared for while we were away. Yung was very thorough with her updates at each visit and was delightful to work with. She even cleaned up after our messy little kitties. Definitely recommend and would gladly hire again!
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Garland on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,949 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Garland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 pet, 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.
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.
