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.
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Sarah is super accommodating and extremely kind! She treated our puppy as her own and spoiled her with lots of snuggles. We even felt comfortable enough to extend our vacation because we knew our puppy was in the very best hands while we were away!”

I am working part time currently so I have times in the early afternoon after work and all night to come life on your babies: I’d love to also help take care of your babies over night and before work. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly dog for your babies to play with. Finn loves having friends over and loves to “help” me dogsit. When with a front and back yard, I still provide walks atleast 2d a day.

Outside of my school schedule I have a flexible availability and can provide reliable pet care throughout the day, evenings, and most weekends.

“Naomy was super flexible in helping us regarding the walk. Yuna was happy to see her upon her arrival and really enjoyed the walk. Would definitely book Naomy for many upcoming walks and recommend her for others!”
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.
“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've been caring for dogs for over 19 years and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and providing extra patience and attention for older dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pet. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I'll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm attentive to details, reliable with communication, and happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I currently have a flexible part time job that allows me the freedom to care for your pet on my off days! My job fluctuates weekly but is flexible on requesting days off so I could easily work around that to ensure I have time to spend with your furry kids! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, patience, and kindness at all times.

My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I have a fenced yard but also would be able to take them on walks as needed.
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: extremely observant and organized. I like to keep everything on track from medications to potty breaks. I’ve had experience over 4 years taking care of animals of family members making sure they are well fed, exercise met to their standard, and loved. Im currently working night shifts which means I have pretty much all day to stay with your pups I am able to stay on top of things and have everything scheduled for your pet. What is most important for me is keeping their routine and keeping YOUR home intact and secured. I will respect your home and boundaries you might have for me.
About: I have a large dog of my own for reference he’s a german shepherd, pitbull, mastiff mix. He is a big boy as you can imagine and I have had him for 9 years and know how to handle dogs from small to big. I am not scared of dogs in the slightest and can handle large dogs on walks. I work part time as a server so I have plenty of extra time on my hands. I love to get out and be active and what better way then to walk pets in the mean time. My dog has his own fenced yard to get activity in but we also take him on morning and nightly walks. He gets enrichment all the time but his favorite is to take a long nap which fits him well since his name is spud like a potato.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 6 years and have loved caring for animals ever since I was little. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is being cared for as if they were my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden Grove
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!

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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

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.
