About: Hi! I’m a current veterinary student and lifelong animal lover with professional experience in veterinary medicine since 2019. Over the years, I’ve worked in several vet med roles and gained experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve also fostered animals and volunteered at local shelters, which has strengthened my passion for providing patient, compassionate care to every animal I meet. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. With my veterinary background, you can feel confident knowing your pet is in knowledgeable and caring hands! I’m completing a few externships this summer, but otherwise I’m available most days and have a flexible schedule until I return to school in mid-August. I’ll care for your pet in your home by following their regular routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“I can't thank Sarah enough for taking such great care of Luna while I was away. Luna was happy, well-exercised, and even seemed calmer when I returned. Sarah kept me updated with photos and notes, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend Sarah’s services!”
About: Caring for your pets just like Stella! Stella is My angel, my baby, my everything my French Bulldog! With 20 years of experience, My love for animals began at the young age of 5! From reptiles to hairless cats to big and small, young and older pups! I love every living creature this world holds and I care, appreciate and respect them because their feelings matter too! I currently take online classes which allows me to go from point A and B, C and D with no problem. I am fully available on weekends and very flexible Monday-Friday With my many years of experience, I have mastered securing the pets safety first always! Making sure leashes, collars and or harness are secure before opening any doors or gates. A pets safety is and will always be my priority!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life and have been caring for them independently since I was 18. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, puppy and potty training, litter box cleaning, house sitting, and keeping pet areas clean and tidy. I’ve cared for pets with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has their own comfort level and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of pets who may need a little extra time or space to warm up. I also understand basic pet safety, including common foods and household items that can be harmful to dogs and cats. Whenever possible, I prefer to schedule a meet and greet before booking so your pet and I can get comfortable with each other and make sure we’re a great match! I currently have a flexible schedule and am generally available for walks and drop-in visits during the late morning and afternoon. I also have availability in the early mornings, typically between 6–8 AM, and in the evenings, with 3–7 PM being my preferred window. Because I have a few recurring family responsibilities, I keep my Rover calendar updated and confirm each request based on the specific time and your pet’s routine. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication. Before the first booking, I prefer to schedule a meet and greet so I can get to know your pet, learn how they communicate, and make sure we are a good match. This also gives us time to review feeding instructions, allergies, medications, approved play areas, off-limit spaces, leash or harness use, favorite toys, behavioral triggers, and any other important care details. I will only use foods, treats, toys, equipment, and supplies that have been approved by the owner. I also make sure doors, gates, crates, and pet areas are secure before leaving and will provide updates so you know how your pet is doing during each visit.
“Annalie has walked my dog, Beans, for several weeks now and has been very accommodating to walk him according to my varying schedule. They are very respectful of our home as well. I would recommend them to anyone looking for dog walks.”
About: I've cared for dogs my whole life, including my beloved girl Sexy for 14 wonderful years. I regularly help friends and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and house-sitting their dogs during vacations and trips. I'm patient, attentive, and committed to giving every pup the love and routine they need while their parents are away. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just cozy companionship, your dog will be in safe, experienced hands. I'm currently working remotely in operations & logistics management, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pups the attention they deserve. I'm available for walks and drop-ins most weekdays (mornings, afternoons, or evenings) and full weekends. Happy to accommodate your routine! I take pet safety very seriously. While I don't currently have my own dog, I've cared for many over the years and always prioritize a calm, loving environment. In your home, I'll follow your exact instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or crating. I'm insured, background-checked, and committed to clear daily updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in excellent hands.
“Melody super communicative throughout her time with him and very attentive to his needs, especially when he became unwell right before we returned from our trip. She was also VERY accommodating when our friend who was supposed to take over care for our dog got stuck out of town due to weather and we needed to extend days for care until our return. This happened over the holidays when it is so hard to find pet care! But melody was able to work with us and take on the extra days last minute even over the holidays. We appreciated her care very much and would definitely recommend her services.”
“Megan was so prompt in replying for a last minute day of 60 minute walk for our golden retriever Maisy while we are in town for a month visiting my Dad. So grateful!”
“Thank you so much for having Yuna come by and hangout in your neighborhood! We’re super excited to have Yuna do Doggy Daycare this upcoming weekend. Rare to finding someone that Yuna gets along with instantly and grateful for all the love and care that you may provide for her like one of your own :) Would highly recommend Naomy for any dog sitting/walks as she always strives to go above and beyond the original scope. Thanks again!”
About: My skills are only taking the dogs a bath and taking them on walks, and I play with them as well I give all my attention to them. I start my morning early and that’s when I start my walking, then I come back and have my breakfast, so I will have plenty of time to care for a dog. The care I would give is just giving them attention and making sure their area is always cleaned. Taking them on walks and playing with them!
About: Hello ! I have professional experience working with dogs as a former Jr dog groomer and currently have two dogs of my own. I also have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs as well as basic training and knowledge of overall health due to personal experiences. I currently am not working right now so my schedule is pretty flexible so I’m able to attend, play, and spend time with your fur baby(s) 🐶🐱 I am very good at following directions so if you have a specific instruction on how you’d like me to take care of your baby, I’ll do exactly as I am told.
“Very happy with Quang’s service. I contacted him last second to walk my dog, as I couldn’t that day, and he came through with little notice. He seemed to do a great job handling my Jake, who is very reactive and energetic.”
About: I had a people aggressive dog. So I’ve learned a lot with her these past 8 years. But also Im natural caretaker so very patient! Right now on summer break looking for new position. So my schedule is pretty flexible now until I find a full time position and then I can see where dog walking fits My dog had behavior issues so I am very good with all tempers and I am very patient. I am also very observant to tell if other dogs are going to be friendly or not.
About: I give you a Peace of Mind while tour away or just busy for the day. I have 16 years of veterinary medicine experience and I love taking care of senior pets and comfortable providing treatments such as fluids under the skin for cats or daily medicine or joint injections. I have experience in working in pet physical rehab and designing exercises for pets that may need mobility help. I also love teaching puppies and kitties new tricks. I also work well with pets that may have anxiety. I currently manage my own schedule so whatever it is ill be able to work with you. I'm a quick reply person so you can get back to planning your trip or just gain peace of mind. I love meeting you ahead of time to plan I love treating pets as of they were my own. I wasn't able to grow up with pets which is why I got into the veterinary industry right out of high school and have maintained that career. I just don't know what else I would be doing. And I know how hard it is to leave your pet home while away and I know how they feel and its my pleasure to give them comfort in maintaining their daily routine while your away.
About: Since I was a child I’ve taken care of multiple animals for my neighbors starting at 7 I was in charge of feeding my neighbors cat and cleaning her litter box. When I was 15 I finally experienced the joy of having my own best friend when my parents got me a dog and ever since I’ve always been a dog lover. I used to also foster when I worked in Arizona 2 years ago. I have a medium sized dog named bagel who is the light and love of my life, usually weekends revolve around him and his happiness. I try to take him out to either the dog beach or dog park on the weekends for a couple of hours and would love to bring your pup along as well :) I ensure that with me your pet will feel safe and loved, cuddles will be provided endlessly and play time as well! For dogs I usually walk them every 2-3 hours as outside my complex there’s a dog play area. As for cats I’ll make sure their litter box is clean and food is provided and of course cuddles and play time !
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. Around age 13 I started dog walking and by 15 I was constantly pet sitting. I'm a full-time college student with classes Monday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Outside of my school schedule I have a flexible availability and can provide reliable pet care throughout the day, evenings, and most weekends. When caring for your pets I guarantee a safe and clean environment. Whatever the pet needs I'm willing to accommodate to ensure a seamless stay while your gone.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden Grove
Naomy from the very first meet-and-greet, I knew my dog was in great hands. Finding someone who understands and is willing to work with an anxious dog isn't easy, but she was so patient, kind, and genuinely caring from the start. She took the time to learn about my dog's needs, followed all of my instructions, and made me feel completely at ease. What I appreciated most was how flexible she was—she even opened up her schedule to help us, which meant so much and made a stressful situation so much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and truly cared about my dog's comfort and well-being. It's clear she loves what she does, and I felt confident that my dog was receiving the care and attention he needed. I'll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate dog walker!
Ivi has been great with my dog, Rocky. She’s very communicative and shares a lot of updates about Rocky during their walk. I appreciate her flexibility and open communication! Rocky can be a bit of a handful (very energetic) and she’s been able to manage walking him while handling a stroller.
Silvi was absolutely wonderful with our dog Ellie! She took such great care of her and made sure Ellie felt comfortable, loved, and well looked after the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such caring hands. We truly appreciate the attention, kindness, and responsibility Silvi showed, and we would happily book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾💛
Paloma is an absolutely amazing dog walker! I loved all the photos and videos she shared — it gave me such peace of mind knowing Chance was in great hands while I was away. He can be a little stubborn on walks since he likes to go his own way, but Paloma handled him effortlessly and made it look easy. I couldn’t be happier with the care she gave!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 15,528 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Garden Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Garden Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Garden Grove.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garden Grove. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
