This is our second time having Mattea watch our animals, but this was our first time just doing drop-in visits for just our cat, Narri. She was just as communicative, provided lots of pictures, and was so caring to Narri.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I have always lived with pets since then too. I now have 1 dog and 3 indoor cats of my own. I volunteer at a cat shelter and watch my friends dogs or cats when they travel! I work Monday through Thursday, from 8:30-4:30. I have unlimited PTO and 3 day weekends. My schedule is also very flexible. I am able to come home early, or mid day easily. I go on walks three times a day with my dog, there is a enclosed dog park in my complex. I am able to crate my dog or your dog if needed. Pets are welcome to sleep with me in my room or bed. My goal is to make them feel comfortable.

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, and playtime for pets of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with their pets while they were traveling, so I understand how important it is to keep animals comfortable and happy. I’m patient with shy pets and enjoy spending time outdoors with active dogs. Your furry friend will be safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m available most mornings from 8:15–10am and after 4pm on weekdays, as well as on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs for walks, visits, or sitting. I create a calm and safe environment for pets, following their routines and your instructions closely. I can visit your home, provide feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure your pets feel happy and loved while you’re away

About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs for years, including my own two dogs with very different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies, larger dogs, feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving lots of attention and affection. As a teacher, I’m patient, dependable, organized, and used to following routines and specific instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll always treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated while they’re with me! During the school year, I work as a teacher, so I’m primarily available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on school breaks. I’m happy to work pet care into my routine for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. My schedule can vary, so I’m always happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can meet their pet’s needs. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. My apartment community has a dog park for convenient outdoor and play time, and with owner permission, I also enjoy taking dogs to larger parks like Dorothea Dix and Lake Benson. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, personality, and comfort level. During boarding, your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love, along with pictures and updates throughout their stay!

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I currently have an energetic 2.5 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog named Morty. I’m currently an online college student studying Elementary Education. My classes are asynchronous which allows me to work around your schedule! I am available in the morning, daytime, and evenings. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. During walks and check-ins, I give each dog my full attention, follow their routine and care instructions closely, and make sure they are secure before, during, and after every visit. I’m mindful of their individual personality, energy level, and comfort around other people and animals. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.

About: I was a dog mom to a precious pitbull for 10 years and since he passed I'm looking to spread that love to other babies in the area. I work full time but my evenings are mostly free. Ideal for working pet parents who need their babies taken care of in the evening and weekends. I respect everyone's wishes and desires for their pet family members. Love, care, and respect are the most important. My motto is to leave a person, being, or space better than I found it.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been caring for dogs for the past five years. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes, so I’m happy to adapt to each pup’s unique needs and personality. I work from home, which means your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. I can administer medications, provide potty breaks and walks every 2–4 hours, and I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. I also have a friendly Pomsky who loves making new dog friends if your pup enjoys socializing. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work from home full-time, so your pet will have company and supervision throughout the day. Dogs go outside for potty breaks every 2–4 hours, enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home.

About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I have always have a love for all animals especially dogs and cats. I can’t wait to show you that your babies will be in great hands with me. I’m currently working full time, but I don’t start work until 12pm so I will have plenty of time in the morning to play and tend to your babies and I am off at 830 pm, so can always go back end of day to check on them again if need be! I will take the instructions of what you would like in your home and what your babies are most comfortable with, to try not to switch up their routines much.

About: We are Ashley (left) and Rachel (right)! When we met, one of the main common interests we bonded over were our love for animals (especially our dogs) which has led us to this exact moment! We have had and have taken care of dogs all our lives and are looking forward to meeting and being able to take care of yours. We understand each dog has their own needs, requirements and preferences and look forward making your dog feel as at home and as safe as possible! We have a big back yard for your dog(s) to run around in. We also live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walks if needed or requested. All beds and couches are open for the dogs to lay on, we also have plenty of dog toys and treats as well! We have enjoyed being able to meet all the dogs and love that all their personalities are so different from each other. It’s also been nice to create relationships with new and reoccurring clients and look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby! We both work full time but are usually home every weekend and every evening so we are here if you need us and your baby will have good company! *** We are currently only doing drop in visits for the time being, mostly on the weekend as we work full time and morning check ins are not always doable. *** We have a decently sized fenced in backyard so they’ll have a good place to run, sniff and explore on their own time… but in the safety of an enclosed yard! During feeding time everyone is fed separately so no one has to worry about their food being eaten by someone else and made to feel like they have to guard it. We understand that leaving your furry family members can be a nerve-racking time, you just want them to be as loved and cared for as they are when they’re with you.. we will keep you updated with lots of photos to help reassure you and we encourage you to reach out as much as you need to! We will ultimately treat your fur baby like they are our own and we’re grateful for you trusting and allowing us to do so!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Garner on Rover is $19.98 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,207 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Garner. 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 Garner 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 Garner 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. 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.

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 Garner with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garner. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
