“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!”
“Demi was awesome with Milo! He is a 5 month old very energetic goldendoodle. She checked in on him and walked him during the day and was great about providing updates and pictures! This was my first time using rover, and I could not have asked for better care! Highly recommend using Demi :)”
“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!”
“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'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.
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.
“Edith is a blessing! This is our first time for a pet sitter and hit diggity dog did we choose well! We all knew she would take great care. She’s kind, attentive ,and trustworthy. Thank you Edith for making this pet sitting leap such a positive experience!”
“Ashley is always available when we need her, even with last-minute requests, and we are so thankful for her. She’s amazing with Maxy, and we always feel completely comfortable and at ease leaving him in her care.”
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.
“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: Growing up there’s always been animals apart of my family. I’ve been responsible for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and snake's! I always enjoy getting to know new animals, and learning what works best for them. I’m currently a full-time student and mom which normally limits my pet care to Tuesdays & Thursdays 8:30am-2pm. Additional care can be scheduled on Saturdays if needed. For dog walks, I prioritize safety by checking leashes, matching your dog’s pace, and keeping them hydrated. After the walk, I wipe paws and refill their water. For check ins, I follow your routine for feeding, medication if needed, and potty breaks, leaving plenty of time for play and cuddles. During every service, I ensure your home is secure and will send a detailed Rover report card with photos and updates so you always know your dog is safe and happy!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 5 years, from my own two cats(Rosie and Ferguson) to friends’ and family’s pets whenever they travel. I’ve sat for and walked senior dogs, so I’m patient with slower paces, stiff joints and pets who need a little extra care! I’m also comfortable with high-energy newborn animals who need a little more attention too! I currently have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m available to maneuver around dates and any last minute things that may pop up for you. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest. I know your home is your haven, so I respect your space completely. I follow your routine, leave everything as I found it and lock up every time.
About: I cared for my Akita for 13 wonderful years, and I’m excited to use that experience to help others provide loving, reliable, and compassionate care for their pets! I’m available starting Friday after 6 PM and throughout the weekend. I’d love to help care for your furry friends and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! When I had my Akita, I made sure he stayed comfortable indoors with the A/C set to a cool temperature, especially because of his thick double coat. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs, especially during the hot summer months.
“Jill has taken care of my crew for the last 2 years and they love when she visits. She treats my babies as if they are her own. I can take a trip and not worry that my pets are in good hands. Your crew will love Jill too.”
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.
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and sent us updates after her visits. It made us feel a lot better knowing they were being checked on and taken care of. We came home to two happy cats and everything was just as we left it. We’d definitely book Taylor again!”

Ryan went above and beyond. He had a difficult assignment. Both my cats are indoor outdoor cat. Also very sensitive to strangers. Max hid the entire time and he did not see him until end. Milo would not come inside and when he did he did not eat enough to satisfy Ryan. Milo went back outside. Ryan kept me posted on what was going on and would discuss option.
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!
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!
Desi was awesome! She dropped in every day, same time, and gave our two little independent kitty fur babies all the love while we were away. Litters were clean, kitties hair soft and combed, and all Amazon packaged on the porch brought it (lol). Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Garland is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,801 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Garland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garland. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.
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. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
