About: Caring for your pets like my own! Stella is My angel, my baby, my everything my French Bulldog & I treat other pets how I would expect someone to treat and care for Stella. 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 and their mom and dads peace of mind matter the most! I am fully available on weekends and very flexible Monday-Friday. Contact me for any special requests! I understand all pets have a daily routine- my goal is to let them know nothing has changed when I am around and paw-rents are gone. 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 have taken care of dogs from newly born to close to reaching 20 and I have and always will do it with a heart full of love. I have always grown up around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds and am now studying to become a veterinarian. I am currently searching for a job so I have plenty of time to care for dogs on the side until then, and I have a completely open schedule for the summer! I have experience dog sitting overnight as well as dropping in for walks and potty breaks, I know how to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, as well as crate trained dogs, and on top of that I’ll make sure to leave your house nicer than before!
About: I grew up on a farm with all different types of indoor and outdoor animals, (besides cats and dogs obviously!) so I am a huge animal lover! I am excited to use rover as a way to explore new places and neighborhoods! I am taking a gap year and traveling full time, pet sitting is a way for me to make a little money in each city I stop in. (LA right now) I would love to spend my time seeing new pets and visiting local parts of the city! In your home, I promise to be very respectful of your space and your pets. I will do my best to get on the same level as your pets; if they want to play I will play, but if they are skittish I will be patient and give them space. I am very punctual, I hate being late for walks or mealtimes for animals. I also don't mind cleaning up after your pet if they shed or make any sort of mess!
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for most of my life, but I have especially strong experience with dogs and daily dog care. Growing up, I helped care for a German Shepherd named Kobe, who was part of my family for many years. From that, I learned how to handle larger dogs, stay calm and in control on walks, and work with dogs that can be reactive or easily overstimulated. I’m comfortable with regular walks, feeding routines, playtime, and sticking to whatever structure a dog is used to. I pay close attention to my surroundings on walks and always prioritize safety, especially when walking dogs that may be nervous around other dogs or people. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes them comfortable. I also have a lot of experience caring for cats, including fostering kittens and living in a multi-cat household, which has made me very attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented. Overall, I take pet care seriously and treat every animal like my own. I always aim to provide dependable, low-stress care so pet parents feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. I’m currently in school during weekday mornings into the evening (8am-4pm). Tuesday and Thursday I am more flexible as I only have one class in the morning so I am free after 12pm! I’m also available during the weekends day and night. This allows me to be flexible with dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care while still giving each pet my full attention. I plan my schedule carefully and make sure I’m on time, responsive, and consistent with every visit. So please contact me if you are looking to book at least a day before. If you need me immediately I can try accommodate please reach out I will do my best! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, leash preferences, and any special care needs. On walks, I stay alert to my surroundings and use secure leashes and harnesses as instructed. I keep pets in clean, calm environments and make sure doors, gates, and supplies are secure. I respect clients’ homes, provide updates when requested, and treat every pet with patience and care so they feel safe and relaxed.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and genuinely love spending time with animals. Back home, I raised my beagle from puppyhood and helped train a goldendoodle as his brother. Even though I have since moved out, whenever I come home they never leave my side, which always reminds me of the special bond we've built together. Currently, I am raising my own kitten and helping care for another kitten for a friend, giving me hands-on experience with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, and providing lots of love and attention. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same care and affection that I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already care for my own kitten every day. Starting June 12th, I will be working full-time on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which means I am available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and have open availability on weekends. I am committed to being reliable, communicative, and making sure every pet receives the care, attention, and affection they need while their owner is away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, or simply providing companionship, I am happy to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. For drop-in visits and walks, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, exercise, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. For walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, staying aware of our surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise based on their age, energy level, and needs. I understand how important communication is when you're away from your pet, so I will provide updates, photos, and messages to give you peace of mind and let you know how your furry family member is doing.
“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!”

I am well versed in managing different life stages and behaviors, from high energy puppies to senior dogs needing a gentle touch. Whether it is maintaining a strict feeding schedule, reinforcing basic commands, or ensuring your dog gets plenty of physical and mental exercise, I treat every pet with the same patience and affection as if they were my own. I currently take online classes at home as a student so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have plenty of time to walk pets multiple times per day as well.

I strictly follow your established schedule for feedings, walks, and medications to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress free. Safety is my top priority, so I constantly double check that all doors, windows, and gates are securely latched, scan the floors for potential hazards, and always supervise outdoor backyard time. I also make sure to keep your home pristine by wiping muddy paws, scooping litter boxes daily, and taking out the trash. Throughout my stay, I will send you regular text updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and your home are in safe, loving hands.

About: I grew up with pets my entire life. As a kid, we had four dogs in the house at once. A lab/pitbull, a German Sheppard, a boarder collie, and a chihuahua. At 21, I took in a pregnant cat who later had 4 kittens. I got them into a foster program and was later able to adopt the mom back. She had been with me for the past four years. I grew up with pets my entire life, and I love being around them! I am responsible, trustworthy and excited to work with you and your pets! I currently am going to school and looking to start going down to part time work to help my schedule. For the time being, weekends may be best for me! Once I am fully part-time, I will be viable during the days and weekends! My pets safety and happiness comes first in all my decisions. Dinner is on a strict schedule and I make sure that everything in my home is safe for her. I know the fear of leaving your pet with someone else, and because of that I want to make sure that I am the kind of pet sitter I would feel safe leaving mine with.

About: I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their needs and follow care instructions carefully. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I'm patient, reliable, and committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages, so they can have peace of mind while they're away. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Because I'm home during the week, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship. On weekends, my family is also home, so there is always someone available to supervise and care for your pet. This means your pet will have company and attentive care seven days a week, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where pets can relax and feel secure. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs to help pets feel as comfortable as possible. Because I work from home, I can provide regular supervision throughout the day and quickly respond to your pet's needs. I introduce pets to new environments at their own pace and always use secure leashes and safe handling practices during walks. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

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.
About: I have experience raising three german shepherd puppies. I’ve watched many of my friends dogs and also have walked and fed them. I have experience training my own dog who I have raised since he was a puppy. I can feed and walk your pet, and provide potty breaks whenever needed. I usually take my own dog out at least three times a day. I have my own dog that I can keep crated. Your dog can be crated if needed. There’s a yard outside where my dog likes to play. I take walks with my dog around the area I live in.
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.
About: I've always been a big animal lover and have worked around dogs and cats in professional settings since high school. I first started as a volunteer at the humane society to build some experience and eventually got my first paid job at PetCo! I then moved away and became a kennel attendant at a vet clinic! I've also had some experience with being a dog bather at a pet salon. I am a part-time student having classes on Thursdays from 1:50 PM - 5:15 PM and Fridays from 9:00 AM-10:30 AM. I also volunteer my time to the aquarium on Wednesdays from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM. Outside of those times I am at home where I can spend lots of time with your fur babies! I live in a moderately sized ADU where I can take them on walks around the neighborhood. Because my area is gated, dogs can hang outside in the yard to sun bathe or play with some toys. In addition, I have plenty of dog toys laying around and treats to be given. Dogs will be allowed to sleep on furniture and/or my bed! I am a firm believer in keeping my space extra clean and sanitized. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to send me a message!

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 !
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Garden Grove is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden Grove
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! 🐾💛

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.

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.

- 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.
