“Isabel did a fantastic job with my cat! She did everything that I asked her to do and more, and I know that Venus thoroughly enjoyed her time with Isabel. I cannot recommend her enough. She is responsible, thoughtful, caring, kind, and communicative, everything that I look for in a pet sitter. An easy 5 stars, and I would highly recommend Isabel for your pets!”

About: I offer a safe and welcoming home backed by years of hands-on dog ownership. I currently raise two dogs, aged 4 and 5, which has given me extensive experience in canine socialization, behavioral understanding, and daily care routines. I am highly attentive to safety and comfort, ensuring that your pet’s specific dietary, exercise, and medical needs are met precisely. I look forward to welcoming your dog into a reliable, loving environment where they can feel right at home. As a self-employed business owner and independent professional, I work primarily from home and enjoy a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. I am available throughout the week to provide continuous supervision, structured feeding, and frequent potty breaks. Your pets will rarely be left alone, ensuring they receive constant attention, love, and professional companionship right when they need it. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. In my home, guest pets will be safely socialized with my own friendly, well-trained dogs and cats in a controlled, supervised environment. I maintain a clean, pet-proofed living space and follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, crating, and routines to the letter. I am always vigilant about security, door management, and yard safety to ensure a completely secure and stress-free stay.

About: I worked at a vet hospital and had the opportunity to be around, care for, and play with lots of different dogs and cats. I would administer medicine, clean areas for animals so they are safe, make them the most comfy, walk the dogs, clean litter boxes, even throw in a few treats when possible. I am currently a full time college student. I’m working on my bachelors in animal science. I’m able to have a wide variety of availability. I will make sure bowls are clean, food properly measured or full, water refreshed with every visit, tummies are full, and hearts are the happiest they can be. Every animal is always treated as if it were my own. Each animal deserves only the best of care.

“Louis was a lifesaver. I requested 3 last minute drop in visits. He came to my house to meet me and my dogs on the same day as the request, right before I left town. He was very attentive, asked me important questions that I hadn't even thought of, and made me feel completely at ease. He showed up for his visits right on time, like literally right on the hour, every time, stayed the entire 30 minutes, and followed all of my instructions. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would not hesitate to book him again in the future.”

“Riley did an absolutely fantastic job caring for my three cats! They were all perfectly happy when I arrived home, and with two of them that says a LOT as they’re really big momma’s girls. Riley also took some of the best photos I’ve seen of my cats, which I will be getting prints of at some point! Timely, respectful, cares deeply about your pets - definitely one to hire!”

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 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 have been taking care of pets since I was 16 years old. I volunteer regularly at the ASPCA where I am certified. I also pet sit for friends and family. I grew up with large dogs and I’m accustomed to working with small and large animals. I have a full-time job with a half-day on Fridays so I am open to working anytime during the weekend. I can do early morning shifts in late nights and come over at all hours. I have a play area at my apartment complex and a lot of sidewalks near me to keep your pet safe on a walk. I’m comfortable with all crates and feeding schedules, etc. as well as multiple pets in the home.

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for three years and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I grew up with cats and recently cared for my own dog for 15 wonderful years, so I understand how important gentle, attentive, and loving care is. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always prioritize comfort, safety, and happiness I work from home which allows me plenty of free time along with flexibility to be able to focus on your pets and meet their needs. I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I follow routines closely and provide constant supervision.

“We have used Rover quite a bit over the years and this has, by far, been our best experience! Annie was easy to work with and truly cared about our kittens' wellbeing. Annie went above my expectations (which is simply just feeding our cats) and played with our kitties and changed the litter, even though I did not expect that to be done! Our cats always knock things over while playing and she ensured everything was put back, although we fully expected to come home to their normal craziness messes. My partner walked in from our vacation and said, "Wow! It looks and smells better than when we left!"”

About: Hi! My name is Chassity and I’m 23. I’ve taken care of & owned cats and dogs! As a child, I knew I had a love for animals and that it would eventually be my career path. I have also worked in two vet clinics as a veterinary assistant. Since 2022 I have been raising my own dogs, they are: three mixed breeds, and two pure breeds, a Siberian Husky & Golden Retriever. No job is to big or to small for me! I am currently available every day to care for your pet; whether it is boarding, doggy day care, drop ins, or walks as long as you don’t mind a baby playing with your pooches! I will work with you to understand your pets daily routine, including but not limited to feeding times, exercise needs, medications, & special requirements. I will stick to your routine to make sure your pet(s) are comfortable for their well-being.

Every time she comes to let Luna out and spend some time playing with her, I know Luna is in the best hands. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s getting attention, love, and plenty of playtime while Im working or away. I couldn’t ask for someone better to care for my girl!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Garner

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.
