“Our boy always has a great time with Bernard & Hung! They are very communicative, truly care for all the dogs they care for, and most importantly reliable. I know Denver can’t wait to be back.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Diana. My dogs felt right at home from the start, and it was clear they were treated with love and care the entire time. I received updates and photos, and seeing how happy and comfortable they were gave me total peace of mind. It truly felt like a home-away-from-home for them. I highly recommend Diana and will definitely be booking again!”
“Our dog came back happy, healthy, clean, and exhausted from playtime! Nikcole always responds quickly, provides pics and updates, and is consistently flexible when our plans change. This is our second booking with her. Highly recommend.”
“My fur babies Nola & Nicko look forward to staying with Natalia! She takes them on adventures and engages them in play, and her kids even spend time grooming my husky. It’s much more than boarding, and it gives us such joy to see.”
“I was very happy with Jenny watching our pup for the weekend. She frequently sent pictures throughout the visit and was available for questions if needed. We plan to be repeat customers.”
About: Hi! My name is Noel. I have loved and cared for animals my entire life. Leaving your pet behind can be stressful, but I treat every dog like my own family. I offer a safe, clean, and fun environment where your pets will feel completely at home. I recently said goodbye to my own beloved senior dogs, and through caring for them in their golden years, I learned just how much love, patience, and specialized attention older pets need. I provide a patience first approach with daily walks tailored to your dog's energy level. Cozy & accessible spaces and a calm environment with easy access to water, comfortable resting spots, and minimal stress. As well as consistent communication, frequent photo and text updates so you have total peace of mind while you are away. Morning: Wake up, fresh water, breakfast feeding, and backyard playtime or an energetic morning walk (extra). Afternoon: Mental enrichment, interactive play with favorite toys, and relaxing indoor cuddle sessions. Evening: Dinner feeding, backyard playtime or a wind-down evening stroll (extra), and plenty of cozy rest before bedtime. Updates: You will receive regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you never miss a moment! Fully Fenced Backyard: My home features a secure, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for your dog to safely explore, play, and burn off energy under constant supervision. Pet-Friendly Hardwood Floors: Our indoor spaces feature clean hardwood flooring. This makes accidental messes incredibly easy to sanitize quickly, ensures a hair-free environment, and provides a smooth, trip-free surface for dogs with visual impairments. Calm & Predictable Atmosphere: I maintain a peaceful, low-stress household. Because we don't host chaotic puppy energy or unpredictable crowds, your dog can truly relax, stick to their normal routine, and feel completely at home.
“Josefina was extremely communicative and caring during Oliver’s very last minute stay with her. She kept me posted, let him sleep with her as that’s what he is used to and changed up his style of food when he wasn’t eating his regular food to ensure he got his nutrition. Truly an animal lover and you really don’t need to look any further. Will most definitely use her again for any future stays he may need.”
“Aidee took great care of my dog Ruby! She seemed very happy there when I picked her up. I received updates with pictures at least twice a day, and Aidee’s response time was really fast!”
About: Hi! My name is Tiffany. I’m a dependable and caring pet lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even goats. I’ve looked after pets with different temperaments and needs—from energetic dogs who need long walks and playtime, to independent cats who appreciate gentle attention, and farm animals that require consistency and responsibility. I’m attentive to feeding routines, exercise, and safety, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended sitting, I treat every animal like my own and prioritize their well-being and happiness. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and i am available on the weekends! I am able to feed pets and take pets for walks! I live in a Condo within a large community! There is a plenty of community parks in walking distance that I can take dogs for a walk! I constantly check if the pet needs water, food or snacks, or needs to go poopoo!
“Sure! Here’s a tailored version: Jess was amazing with my golden doodle! She kept me updated regularly with photos, and her kids were so sweet to my pup—they played together, even slept together, and made her feel right at home. I could tell from the start that my dog was in great hands. I’ll definitely be using Jess’s services again!”
“Ning is AMAZING! she is exactly how the reviews described her! she sends you so many updates and videos throughout the day and you can really tell she treats our pups like her own. it was my first time leaving my dog baby anywhere and i was very nervous at first but she made it completely stress free! will definitely be booking again!!”
“Joseph and Gina were so kind and loving to Bentley! I would trust them again and again to watch my dog! They sent updates and did so many fun things over the weekend with my permission :)”
“We are so grateful for the care Pooki and Tsuki received. She truly took care of them as if they were her own, and on top of that, she even surprised us with a thoughtful gift for them. They were loved, well cared for, and happy, which gave us complete peace of mind. We are incredibly thankful and would not hesitate to return them for her care again.”
“Rick does not disappoint. Same top notch service I received the first time around. He even pampered Mochi with his own dog’s food mix when she didn’t feel like eating her food. Also gave her a bath the morning before sending her home with me.”
“My generally nervous dog had a great time at Ashley’s and came home looking very relaxed! She sent photo updates and was willing to give my dog her pill. Ashley was very accommodating and seems to really care for the dogs she watches. We would absolutely use her again next time we leave town!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been known as the animal lover in my family and friend group. I’ve had more than seven dogs of my own over the years, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m also the person my friends and family call when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I’ve cared for multiple dogs in my home and have experience with potty training and teaching basic commands. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking them outside, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention. I’m available during the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in home and a clean, secure yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, play, and take potty breaks. I keep a clean environment and make sure pets are supervised and have a comfortable space to relax. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs. Most importantly, I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Anne & Jason did an excellent job caring for our 5 pound dog. They were so good to send me daily pictures and promptly answer any questions I had. We will definitely be using them again and have already booked them for our next trip.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden Grove
Bernard and Hung took excellent care of our boy Jager for two weeks. Our flight was delayed, and we had to extend our stay by an extra night, which they graciously accommodated. We received daily photos of Jager, which helped us feel more at ease leaving him in their care for such an extended period. If you need someone to look after your pet, I highly recommend Bernard and Hung!
Jessica was amazing with my two dogs, Zephie and Banks, over the weekend! She took such great care of them and made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated how often she sent me updates and pictures—it was so reassuring to see that they were happy and doing well. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about them. I would absolutely trust Jessica with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful and dependable pet sitter
Maya is an amazing pet sitter! I was a bit worried since Walter is a senior dog and it was my first time leaving him, but I had absolutely nothing to be worried about. She kept me updated on his eating schedule and sent me photos frequently. I loved the communication and I can't wait to book her again. I appreciate the dedication and how much she treats Walter just like her own.
Chris was awesome! We had never boarded Kingston with anyone before, only at pet hotel and we definitely will not be taking him to the pet hotels again. Chris gave us numerous updates and provided pictures and videos which were great. Kingston looked happy and right at home which is what we wanted. Would definitely recommend and will be using Chris again.
Finding Lisa was a huge blessing! My dog was instantly comfortable with Lisa and her husband and happily went with them. Lisa provided updates and photos throughout the stay and kept to my dog's normal routine. She was very, very happy and relaxed with Lisa and appreciated all the love, cuddles and play time. It made it easier for me to enjoy my vacation time knowing she was well cared for and stress-free. Lisa is the perfect sitter - her kindness and care shines through every interaction. Thank you, Lisa, for the wonderful stay (and the gorgeous apples)!!!! Highly recommend!
Fumihiko and his family were absolutely amazing. You can genuinely tell how much they love and care for dogs. Their kids were so sweet and adorable, and Korra looked so happy and comfortable the entire stay. We received updates after every meal, every walk, and throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Communication was incredible from start to finish. They were also super responsive and accommodated our Rover request very last minute, which we appreciated more than they know. It honestly felt like Korra was staying with family instead of just being boarded. We would 100% trust them again and will absolutely be bringing her back the next time we travel. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, attentive, and reliable sitters. Five stars all the way.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Garden Grove can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Garden Grove home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Garden Grove.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garden Grove. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Garden Grove sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
