“Bianca took very good care of my dog!! She was easy to work with and had great communication. She made sure my dog went out to potty before the end of her shift. I highly recommend!”
“Josie was wonderful! She was respectful of our home, very clean, and took great care of our dogs. They seemed really happy and comfortable with her, and communication throughout the stay was easy and consistent. We really appreciated how responsible and considerate she was, and we would absolutely have Josie stay with our dogs again!”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home and took such great care of our dog Mookie and our house. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew Mookie was in good hands. She was responsible, communicative, respectful and sent lots of updates and photos. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our home and dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“This was my second time using Rover and I was really nervous. We have had the same dog sitter for about three years now but she is pregnant and due to give birth any day so she was unavailable. Annalie was an AMAZING communicator - incredibly prompt and so nice. Annalie came over for a meet and greet and a tour of the home and agreed it would work! Annalie watched our 12.5 year old French bulldog who has some medical things to be mindful of. We got videos and pictures and checks in as frequently as I requested in the app. I will 100% use Annalie again and I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs! I grew up with 4 cats and 2 German Shepherds, and later welcomed a small mixed-breed dog into the family, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also currently around 5 cats and have built a strong bond with each of them—I’m attentive to every pet’s individual needs and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their humans are away. 🐾💕 🐾 My Schedule & Availability I work part-time as a fitness instructor, which gives me plenty of flexibility and open pockets throughout the day to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m most available mid-day through early evening, with full availability on weekends. I’m happy to help with neighborhood walks, trips to local parks, overnight stays, and extended care for week-long trips. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some extra company while you’re away, or a full week of care, I’d love to help keep them happy, active, and comfortable in their routine! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I’m attentive to their individual needs, routines, and personalities, and I treat every pet with the same care and patience I’d want for my own. Whether we’re out on a walk or staying at home, I’ll provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. 🐾💕
“Gloria was genuinely everything we could have hoped for. We were traveling with our two dogs and needed someone to watch them in our hotel room, which can be a little stressful because it’s an unfamiliar place for them. Bert is our 1-year-old anxious sweetheart, and Bud is our 10-year-old sweet “grumpy” old man, so we really just wanted someone who would keep them calm, safe, and comfortable. Gloria did exactly that. She was on time, kind, easy to communicate with, and sent us sweet updates and pictures throughout the night. It made such a difference being able to go out and actually feel confident that our boys were okay. She took them out, gave them treats, hung out with them, and clearly paid attention to who they are instead of just “watching dogs.” She also left us the sweetest handwritten card and a Polaroid of Bud and Bert, which honestly meant so much. It was such a thoughtful little thing and showed how much she cares. We came back to two safe, happy boys, and that’s really all you can ask for. We’re so grateful we found Gloria and would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend her.”
About: I LOVE dogs and have a large mixed-breed rescue of my own who is 12 years old! I’ve cared for her since she was 1, so I have years of hands-on senior care, including administering medication and cooking her meals. My family & friends have trusted me to care for their dogs for years too! I love playing and staying active with pups because I know how important exercise and mental stimulation are for their health and happiness. Long walks are a must! Your pup’s well-being, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-ins and pet sitting. I can accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, potty, medication, and exercise routines, and I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs in advance! Your pup’s safety & comfort are my top priorities! I provide a loving, attentive, and stress-free environment where your dog can feel at home. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs, dietary requirements, or medications. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your fur baby will be treated like family! 🫶🏼
About: Hi! Anxious paw parent here to help other anxious parents feel at ease when taking a vacay. As someone who has an anxious and clingy dog, I understand that they would rather be in the comfort of their own home over being boarded in an overstimulating and stressful environment. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or weekend care. Meet and Greet (if applicable) - I would initially like to meet your pet and you to determine compatibility and go over any questions or concerns both parties may have. I will take the time to learn each pet's routine and personality before every visit. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I strive to keep their environment calm, consistent, and stress-free and respect your household rules. ***For the safety and comfort of everyone involved, I’m unfortunately unable to accept dogs with a history of biting or aggressive behavior toward people or other animals.
“Sarah was great! She kept us updated, sent pictures and our dogs seemed happy & comfortable upon returning which is the most important. Happy to have her as a trusted dog sitter to use in the future!”
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.
“Elizabeth stayed at my house to take care of my dog while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and clearly cared for my pup like he was her own. I received daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave me such peace of mind while I was gone. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter! I’ll definitely be booking her again.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I have experience raising my own german shepherd puppies. 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.

“We loved having Lucy as our dog sitter while we were gone on vacation! She took great care of the dogs, and our home, while we were gone. She also sent me lots of photos of them to keep me updated on how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you Lucy!”
“Christine is truly amazing!!! I booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate my schedule request. Her flexibility made it easy to meet my needs. Christine was very respectful in my home. She was also extremely attentive to my two babies. She treated them like her own. Her friendly energy made it easy for my babies to warm up to her right away. She communicated with me throughout her stay and provided updates that made me feel more comfortable. She is very professional and polite. I got so lucky I found her. I will definitely be booking with her again. She is reliable. I Highly recommend her. She is the best sitter! I was very pleased with her services.”
“So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!”
“Tritia was hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever hired. She took amazing care of our two cats and treated them like they were her own. She was reliable, attentive, and communicated so well the entire time we were away. She gave consistent updates, made sure they were fed, comfortable, and happy, and we could tell she genuinely cared about them — not just doing the job. Our cats can be picky with new people, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says everything. We came home to two calm, well-cared-for cats and a home that was left in great shape. We felt completely at peace during our trip because of her. We will 100% be booking Tritia again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, top-tier cat sitter.”

We loved having Lucy as our dog sitter while we were gone on vacation! She took great care of the dogs, and our home, while we were gone. She also sent me lots of photos of them to keep me updated on how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you Lucy!
I can’t say enough good things about Sarah and how well she cares for our dogs and our home. We have a special needs dog that is especially challenging, and she is so patient and good with him. He takes a lot of medicine and has a special feeding routine. He has been especially picky about food recently, and Sarah somehow managed to get him to eat all his meals. Both of our dogs love her, and our other dog has even been checking the guest room when we wake up in the morning to see if Sarah is still here. Sarah takes great care of our house as well. I cannot recommend her enough!
Emylie is absolutely wonderful! Very caring with my little baby. She frequently sent me pictures of Freyja and the status of her wellbeing. If you want a lovely human to care for your furry family member, Emylie is your girl. Thank you so much, Emylie for making Freyja feel safe and happy while I was gone. 🙏🏽
Christine was an absolutely amazing house sitter and took the best care of our boy. We got constant updates and pictures her whole stay and he got spoiled with walks and ball time in the back yard. She also was a lovely house guest and tidied the whole house before we returned. Thank you, Christine! ☺️
Dawn hit it off with our moderately shy kitties almost immediately and it was no surprise when they quickly adopted her as their new cuddle-buddy. Dawn also took great care of our cockatiel and koi fish, and sent lots of updates with photos during her stay. We are so glad to have found her!
Cassaundra was absolutely wonderful. She kept me updated with photos while we were gone and made sure our animals were loved and cared for. She also went the extra mile and cleaned our house which looked even better than when we left it! Will definitely book her again to house sit when we’re out of town.
Bryce was great with my dog Millie, he was punctual and it was super nice that I didn’t have to worry about her, especially since it was a last minute booking. I’ve used him for a maternity photo shoot with a previous dog I’ve had & he was able to capture the best photos. Would highly recommend for dog sitting or pet photography

FAQs for House Sitting - Garden Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Garden Grove on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 10,198 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Garden Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Garden Grove walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Garden Grove maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Garden Grove choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garden Grove. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
