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.
“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!”
“Max had a great time with Alice and her family and their two small dogs. Alice is very accommodating and worked with me to ensure Max would adjust well. She took such good care of him and sent me lots of photos of his visit with them. I would highly recommend Alice.”
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.
“Gloria was a godsend today and walked Ollie for me with literally only an hour notice! She was very communicative and respectful, and Ollie seems to love her, despite him being weary of strangers!”
About: With deep love for animals and years of experience from my very own pets, I provide dedicated, attentive care tailored to each pet's unique routine.

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.

I have also cared for many of my friends' dogs of all sizes, ranging from puppies to adults. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time throughout the day/week. I enjoy going outside for walks and spending time with animals, so house sitting, drop-ins, and walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate a pet’s usual feeding, walking, and potty schedule. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication if needed, and house rules. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the home and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave.
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.

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 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 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.

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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden Grove
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! 🐾💛

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.

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.
