“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.”
“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.”
“Lisa was AMAZING! She took excellent care of my senior dog while I was at Disneyland all day. She was great at sending me photos and videos throughout the day and giving me updates on my dogs activities. I was able to enjoy my time away stress free because it was clear my dog was doing well under her care. I would 100% book her again!”
“Jenni was so wonderful with our shy dog Winnie. She was great with communication and available at the last minute to take Winnie a second night for us. We would absolutely use Jenni again!”
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 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. When caring for your pets in my home/your home, I treat both our spaced and your animals with the utmost respect, structure, and attentiveness. 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.
“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!”
“Amazing hosts, took our Ringo in last minute and updated us with pictures throughout his stay. If I’m ever in town again I will use them again. Highly recommend!!!”
“Marlana is awesome! Super nice and has an apartment currently right next to a dog park. Sent me photos throughout the day and kept me updated. Demitri made himself super comfortable in her place and obviously (from the photos & videos) enjoyed himself thoroughly. Will be coming back to her again!”
About: I have been taking care of kittens, puppies other farm animals since I was a child so it is not new to me to look after dogs or cats. As I am retired, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pet. They will receive lots of attention, companionship, and loving care throughout the day. I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone else can be difficult. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. You can have peace of mind knowing they will be treated with kindness, patience, and affection, just like a member of the family. Your beloved pet will feel safe, comfortable, and right at home in my care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll provide a loving, calm, and secure environment where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.
“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!”
“Julie was amazing with my dogs while me and my family had a day at Disneyland. Super close to Disney which made pick up and drop off easy. Communicated all day with updates and photos. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone to watch your dogs!”
“Diane was very patient with my Max and gave him space to adjust to new surroundings. She sent me an update with a picture which put me at ease knowing he was doing okay. I know he was in good hands with Diane and will definitely bring him back.”
About: I have valuable pet care experience from living in a condo with a housemate who had two cats. On weekends when he was away, I took on the responsibility of caring for them. This included weighing their food, cleaning their litter box, and refreshing their water daily. I also administered medication to one cat with hyperthyroidism, ensuring she received the proper care she needed. Additionally, I’ve housesat for a friend, where I fed their dogs according to strict diet plans. This role required me to wake up at 6 AM to ensure they were fed on schedule. Through these experiences, I developed strong pet care skills and a deep appreciation for the well-being of animals. I’ve always wanted a dog, but coming from a traditional Chinese family, my parents have always said no. By taking care of others' pets, I aim to earn money to pay off grad school and work toward my dream of adopting a dog one day. My flexible work hours allow me to choose my schedule around pet care, with the exception of a few required meetings throughout the week. This flexibility makes it easy for me to dedicate time for walks, playtime, and overall care, ensuring that the pet feels loved and engaged. After a long day at work, I find great joy in taking walks allowing me to unwind and enjoy the fresh air. Caring for pets in a client’s home involves following their established routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I ensure pets receive their meals on schedule and get plenty of exercise. I also maintain hygiene by cleaning litter boxes and refreshing water, while administering any necessary medications. Safety is a priority, so I keep the home secure and monitor for hazards. Additionally, I provide affection and companionship to ease any anxiety the pets may feel. Regular check-ins with the owner keep them updated on their pets’ well-being, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have been a passionate animal lover my entire life. I grew up raising and training a puppy from childhood, giving me over two decades of hands-on dog experience, and I've also been a dedicated cat parent for the last 6 years. Because I currently have an open schedule, I can be home with your pets all day. This means I can provide them with constant attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I treat every pet like my own and will make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away! My schedule is fully open right now, which means I can offer round-the-clock care and constant supervision for your pets. Whether you need weekday check-ins, weekend boarding, or overnight stays, I have the time and flexibility to ensure your pet's routine is never disrupted. Growing up raising a puppy taught me early on how to handle dogs with patience and care. Having a cat for the last 6 years has also made me very attuned to feline body language! I make sure to create a calm, safe environment, stick strictly to your feeding routines, and always send plenty of photo updates.
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.
“Iris is a great choice if your are in need of a DogSitter. She took good care of our doodle Theodore during our day trip to DisneyLand. Her house is conviently located close to the parks, she sent us pictures and videos throughout the day and kept us well inform about each details.”
About: What sets me apart is my unique combination of professional experience and a perfect home environment. I previously worked at a busy dog cafe in South Korea, where I gained hands on experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. This taught me how to read their body language and keep them safe and happy. I work from home full time, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day. Since my schedule is very adaptable, I can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. I'll be around to keep your pet company, take them out for regular potty breaks, feed them on time, and give them plenty of attention and love I have professional experience working at a dog cafe in South Korea, where I cared for various breeds and temperaments. This experience taught me how to read dog body language and handle unexpected situations safely. I also have a very gentle, friendly Bichon Frise of my own who loves making new friends! To give you peace of mind, I will send you photo and video updates every 2 hours so you can see how much fun your pup is having in our safe, loving environment
“Dulce is so sweet, very communicative, sends pictures of our pup throughout the day. We’ve sent our baby to her three times now and love that she tells us about his day, where he is with eating and potty at pick up. Leo loves going to Dulces!”
“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.”

It was very reassuring leaving Luka with Mai as I could immediately tell she was very attentive to Luka’s needs and sent plenty of updates. She let me know when Luka was on walks, going potty, eating, and how he was getting along with any other dogs. Thanks Mai!
I was worried about leaving my dog with someone else because he has been with me every day for the past three years. I started a new job and he’s not allowed to go with me to work anymore so even though I was worried, they took really good care of Redd. I messaged them last second and was requesting a 4 AM drop off and they said the timing was not an issue which was really cool and I’m very grateful. They sent me photos and updates and took a lot of weight off my shoulders. I ended up asking them to watch my boy tomorrow and they said absolutely.
Alvaro was great with my pomeranian pup. I truly appreciated the photo updates, and my pup looked like he was enjoying his time. Communication was good from start to finish, which provided significant peace of mind. It is very reassuring to know I can trust someone with my precious pup and be confident he is well cared for. He was clearly happy with Alvaro, and I will definitely be booking with him again.
Lisa is great! We dropped our dog off while spending the day at Disney and she was very accommodating with our plans. Our dog usually takes awhile to warm up to new people, but Lisa sent lots of photos and videos and it seems she warmed up to her very quickly and enjoyed her home! She followed our dog’s feeding and medication schedule, and generally provided care that put us at ease. Thanks, Lisa!
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!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Garden Grove on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of September 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 .

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.

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.
