About: I've worked with dogs for nearly a decade: from training search and rescue dogs, to helping out senior pups, to training puppies to become their best selves. I want t make every dog's day great! I work from home, so I am able to be super flexible in heading out and giving your pet a great walk, drop-in, or training session! I do not offer in-home care at this time, but in the future, I have a wonderful fenced yard, and a full room dedicated to wonderful pets.
“I am new to Rover and Annalie was the first dog walker I booked. She is prompt, kind, & polite. Sulu was comfortable with her right away. I will definitely book with her again when needed in the future!”
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 30 yrs. I also dog sit for family & friends. My goal is to make your pet feel like they are home away from home. I will love your baby like my own and keep them happy & safe. I work out of my home, so my schedule is quite flexible. I’m available as early as 7am. I will provide weekend care as well as long as I’m free to do so. I have a fenced in back yard for lots of clean, safe space to run around. My back screen door has a doggy door for small to medium dogs so they can come in & out as they please.
About: When I was 10 I got my dog showing certificate. I have always loved being around dogs and feel comfortable with all breeds. I’ve grown up with dogs and frequent dog parks/beaches with my family often. I have a Dachshund named Vincent who I loved with all my heart and have trained to do a few fun tricks. I am a college student currently on winter break and have a pretty open schedule. I will be free the thirteenth of December through the third of January. My house has two dogs. One small and one medium. I have a dog door leading into my backyard and lots of space to roam freely.
About: I work as a vet assistant and am animal science college student. On my free time I dog sit and run my non-profit dog rescue. I’ve taken care of pets for many years as a previous doggy daycare team member. I am a big believer that our pets are family. I currently have two dogs but am able to housesit, offer walks, and do overnight stays. Message me if you have any concerns or questions.
“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!”
“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: I have taken care of pets from young age. Apart from my own childhood pet, I have pet sat various dogs of different ages. From a dog with special dietary and exercise needs to a senior dog with specific medications needed per day. Currently, I am in training with my own puppy. I have also cared from cats, both cuddly and shy. I currently work part time, mainly night shifts. So my mornings and evenings are available to care for your furry friends. This applies for both week days and weekends. I am very aware of my environment especially when responsible for pets. Scanning any dangers or possible risks where a pet may escape or be harmed is my top priority.
About: While I don't have much traditional dog-sitting experience, growing up, I had 2 dogs, a Maltese and a Maltese Shih Tsu mix. My last dog, Oreo, was a Maltese-Shih Tsu mix, who passed away from old age when I was in college. I was always diligent about training him, and I often bathed him myself. He was fully potty trained by me with the help of google, and he knew plenty of cute tricks. He also had a tendency to run off every chance he got, but I was always able to find him easily and bring him home safely. I also had regular play dates with my cousins' dogs, and sometimes I would dog sit for them. I'm pictured with my cousin's elderly yorkie, Roy, who was rocking his sunglasses in his little bag because he was incontinent, couldn't walk any more, and needed 24/7 care. I didn't want to get another dog after Oreo because of my busy class schedule and then I travelled for work. Now, I've recently become unemployed, and I am looking forward to spending some time with your fur babies while hopefully raising some money to adopt my own! Ive recently become unemployed, so I my schedule is highly flexible! If I don't have any Rover appointments, I am usually working on my dog training certification, or going to workout classes in the early mornings. On Monday evenings, I have bible study with my mom. If you trust me to enter your home, I assure you I am responsible and respectful of other's property, and I try to leave things better than I found them, if I absolutely have to move or borrow something. Im great with following instructions, so I can accommodate any special requests and respect and unique boundaries. I am also respectful of your pets space, and I will always start with a cautious introduction. I understand dogs and cats body language, and Im confident that I can establish a positive relationship with your fur baby, to make sure your absence, and my strange presence has as little stress on them as possible! I also understand that it can be difficult to be away from your fur baby, so I am willing to keep you updated however much you need to feel comfortable, especially the first time we work together.
“Tawnee is wonderful! I needed some help walking my pups this last weekend and she did a great job. Tawnee was always on time and such a great communicator and very friendly with my pups and I. Thanks again Tawnee for your help ⭐️🙌”

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 then I take the dog out on their first walk of the day, then I feed them their breakfast, then throughout the day I play with them and care for them. 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! I always attend them to see what they need.

About: I grew up having dogs since I was about 10 years old. My family and I raised countless small dogs like terriers and chihuahuas over the years. In high school, we ended up raising a bigger pitbull along with our little chihuahua. On top of that, I’ve spent time dog and cat sitting for my friends over the years here and there. My older dog (a pitbull named Apollo) recently passed away last year from old age, and I’m looking to spend more time with dogs. I’d love to spend some of my free time walking your dogs for you and to get some of my steps in! I currently work full time, but I have every Fridays off including the weekends. If you need someone to walk your dogs for an hour or two from the day on the weekend, I’m your guy! I’m looking to provide services to walk dogs and would be more than happy to drive to a location and walk them around locally.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden Grove
Mimi has been walking our pup for a few weeks now on a weekly basis and overall we are happy with everything, from how communicative and mindful she is of ours and our dog needs to how respectful, punctual and committed she is to make sure our furry child enjoys their walks together. We will definitely continue to be a returning customers!
We met Thuy yesterday and had a great experience. She was kind, professional, and incredibly sweet with my dog, Jacques! You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. My dog warmed up to her quickly, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care. I'm so glad we found her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker. 🐾💕
Emylie did the best job walking our baby every day for 3 weeks! She is so attentive and caring and we felt very reassured with her care/professionalism. She is also a great communicator and kept us updated with all things related to his walks, schedules, etc. Thank you so much Emylie!! We appreciate you :)
Lily was the first person I booked on Rover and I’ve been using her since. You can trust that she’ll be patient and loving toward your pups which gives peace of mind, something that is much needed when being away. She keeps you updated with photos and details and is prompt with communication. So glad to have found her, she is truly a gem!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my dog walker! She took such great care of my dog and was incredibly patient and understanding with him. He is very skittish and isn’t the easiest dog to win over, so gaining his trust takes time and a lot of patience. I truly appreciate that she allowed him to warm up to her at his own pace and never rushed the process. It was so reassuring to see him become more comfortable with her and know that he felt safe and cared for. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. I will absolutely be recommending her to my friends and family, and I will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and patient to care for their furry family member! ❤️🐾
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! 🐾💛

The average cost of Dog Walking in Garden Grove is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Garden Grove after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
