“Annalie is a great dog sitter to my puppy Bella. Bella remembered her from the time before and was excited to see her. Annalie provided me with photos of Bella while out on walks. She is the only dog sitter I will use for Bella.”
“Bernard and Hung were the best dog sitters. They were attentive. They communicated with me often. They me feel safe since this was my first time leaving my puppy with others. I appreciate how flexible they were with my schedule. I would book them again in a heartbeat”
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.
“She was amazing with our pup while my family and I were at Disney. Communication was excellent, and we loved receiving regular photo updates throughout her stay. We would absolutely book with her again if we ever return to California.”
“Chris has always been extremely responsive and communicative since day one. We were so pleased to be able to sit Yuna with him for the day. She felt very comfortable and made new friends! :) We’re excited to board her and setup many new future sessions with Chris!”
About: I currently work at a grooming salon and love working with dogs!! I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors and have a special place in my heart for the seniors ❤️ I have potty trained the puppies while babysitting them. I have experience ministering medications to the dogs, as well as insulin. 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.
“Valarie was very kind and helpful. She shared everything we need to know so that we felt no concern at all, but could enjoy our time. She was also very flexible to meet our situation in the last minute, which was also very helpful for us!”
About: I have had an assortment of animals my whole life, taking care of innocent furry creatures is one of my passions as a caregiving person. I'm very patient, big or small, your dogs will be in safe hands with me. My schedule is flexible and open to pet care, I work from home typically and it leaves me available to offer full time care more often than not. I have a yard that's good for daily use and a park nearby. I have a whole separate room for animals boarding is separate from my animals, and I'm home often enough (especially when boarding) to ensure full time care and safety
“Vanessa was great. We had a family emergency and were out of town. She allowed a meet and greet on short notice. She was very communicative and helped care for my timid dog. It helped me be more at ease knowing my dog was in good hands while tending to our family and being gone for a whole day.”
“Had to do a last minute booking and Alexis was able to accommodate us and even did a last minute extension due to the evacuation, she is a literal life savor. 100% would rebook in the future.”
“Sheila and Matthew always watch Cinnamon when we're in Anaheim. Cinnamon has separation anxiety but always loves being with them. We wouldn't chose anyone else!”
“She was amazing with our doggy. He had the great time and love playing with her dog. He was exhausted when we picked him up and she sent multiple videos of him having fun. She was very communicative and was sending updates all the time. She's definitely a great dog sitter and I'll definitely book her again!!”
About: I have had the privilege of having pets for the last 10 years. I’ve had anything from shitzus to pit bulls to birds and more. My first fur baby was diagnosed with lymphoma and have also experienced extensive care for pets. I will make sure your pet does not feel lonely and cared for. I am currently out for summer break, I work at a school district so I am available most days of the week for any service I have a small yard. I do have pets inside the home too. I am available to take them to the dog park or walks as I live by a calm area.
About: What sets me apart is the combination of genuine love for animals, consistent reliability, and attention to each pet's unique needs. I don’t just watch dogs—I build trust with them. I take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I adjust my care to suit their personality. I also keep owners updated with photos and check-ins, so they feel just as at ease as their dog does. For me, it’s not just a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a joy i look forward to every time. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. My fiancé is also home, so between the two of us, there’s always someone around to walk, play with, or cuddle your pup. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and we both love having animals around—it’s honestly a joy, not a chore. Pet care fits perfectly into our routine and brings a lot of happiness to our day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or the client’s, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I create a calm environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and get attention throughout the day. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, meds, whatever they need.
About: I run a dog boarding business from my pet-friendly home, featuring a fully fenced yard and a secure patio for safe play. With years of experience across all breeds and temperaments, I provide a reliable, structured, and active environment. From daily exercise to routine care, I’ll keep your pup safe and happy! I manage my businesses directly from home, giving me the freedom to provide 24/7 attention and care. My daily routine easily accommodates frequent yard breaks, walks, and dedicated playtime. Your pup will seamlessly join my day and never be left unsupervised for long periods. I provide a secure home-away-from-home with a completely fenced yard and a dedicated patio for supervised outdoor time. I maintain a high standard of safety by monitoring all interactions closely, accommodating specific crating or feeding schedules, and keeping my home clean and comfortable.
“Claudia was an amazing host. She is kind and my husky loved her stay. She practically didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend her care for your fur baby. I received updates throughout the day and photos so I could easily see my pup was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with Claudia again. Thanks again for making my Disney plans just that much more magical.”

Thank you, Kristi! You ARE the best PET sitter indeed! We love your lil furboo Penny too. 🐶 Simba & I are missing her already! We appreciate your sweet demeanor & true flexibility for folks going to Disneyland. Here's a little something extra for you online. 😊 We will definitely look you up next time we're in town to take care of our family furboo, Simba! Thanks again!!
I’m so grateful to have found Lisa! I could tell Rory was so relaxed and happy to stay with her. By just the second day he didn’t even look back when I dropped him off. She was flexible and generous about my schedule which was a bit of a moving target. look forward to being able book with Lisa again and I know Rory can’t wait.
Jenny was great with our two cattle dogs! She made us feel comfortable that she would take good care of them. She is super flexible and easy to work with. Sent us pictures through out the night. We plan on using her services again soon and would highly recommended her!
First time leaving our pup with a sitter and they were great! Maxx often has a hard time eating when he’s on vacation, so they even tried to hand feed him like I requested -wow 🤩. Lots of walks and play time by video. They even allowed us to pick up late when we were delayed at Disneyland (Saturday means longer lines than ever). Thank you for helping Maxxee feel at home!
Our pups had the pleasure of being cared for by Elizabeth and her sweet mom. We did doggy day care for 2 days. We did an initial visit on video and Elizabeth showed us the set-up. Perfectly equipped with open space, outdoor area for the doggies to roam, and bedding for their comfort. Our boys enjoyed having little friends and being walked and came back to us happy and tired at the end of the days. Elizabeth was super communicative and friendly and just great overall. Thank you guys so much!
Liana was the perfect sitter for our Stevie girl. Since she already has a sweet pup of her own, we didn’t worry at all because we knew she would know how to take care of our dog in terms of feeding, heat sensitivity, bathroom breaks etc. She has a big yard for the dogs to run around in and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!
Who better to take care of your dog than a legit dog training professional? (Check out her Instagram @mycanineacademia). My crazy 7 month old “Pointing Labrador” Kaifa, was well cared for over 3 days. Julie took him to the park 2-3 times a day, sent pictures and videos. I KNOW he enjoyed being with Julie and her personal pups, by the way he PULLED to return to her house! 😆 Definitely going to use her again in the future!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Garden Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Garden Grove on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,934 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Garden Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Garden Grove commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,934 sitters in Garden Grove, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
