About: Hi! My name is Brooke, & I’m a licensed vet tech with the state of TN! I can provide care for puppies and kittens as well as geriatric pets. I can administer oral and injectable medications as prescribed by a veterinarian. I also have experience with handling and caring for exotic pets. I work full time at a vet hospital. I am available weekdays from 6am-7am & after 5:30pm. If your home is close to where I work, I can stop by on my lunch break for a check in! As far as weekends, I am available all day. I can accommodate to your pets needs at your home! Feedings, walks, playtime, medication administration, bathing, coat brushing, nail grinds & nail trims. Ask to see if I offer what your pet needs!
About: With 7+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m confident handling everything from large, high-energy breeds to senior pets who need extra patience. I offer overnight care, stick closely to routines, and am comfortable administering medications. I believe pets thrive with consistency, attention, and a calm, confident presence — and that’s exactly what I provide. I have a flexible schedule and am available for weekday and weekend drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I prefer drop-ins and house sitting, but I can offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. I prioritize consistency and plan my day to ensure each pet receives proper attention, exercise, and routine care. I prioritize a safe and structured environment for every pet in my care. Because I have resident animals, I only offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. Introductions are done carefully and supervised at all times. Outdoor time is always monitored, and I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and home routines closely. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with pet parents are extremely important to me.
“Auntie Ty is the best! She was so attentive to all of our animals and cleaned up after our messy cats like a champ 💪🏻 She’s also a great communicator so you will always know your fur babies are safe, healthy, and happy! ❤️”

About: Hi, I'm Anthony, an optometry student in Memphis who cares for dogs in my free time. I have over 15 years of dog-sitting experience handling dogs of all sizes, and I am very familiar with Goldendoodle behavior after growing up with one. My background also includes giving medication and cleaning up after pets. I look forward to meeting your dog and providing dependable care for your dog whenever you need it. Hi, I'm Anthony, a full-time med student here in Memphis. My current schedule allows me to help out with dog care after classes and on the weekends. I live in a good community that is great for walks. If you prefer your pet to stay in their own environment, I am available to house-sit at your residence on a case-by-case basis.
“This was our first time having someone stay to watch our three standard poodles. I was nervous when picking someone. I read reviews and decided Robert was the one. I hope my review can help others find someone like Robert for their dogs. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We felt so comfortable with Robert. He stayed at our house and took great care of our dogs. He took them on walks and sent me super sweet pictures. We will definitely be using him again.”


About: I am a biology major at the University of Memphis studying to one day become a veterinarian. I have had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I have personally owned three dogs and four cats. I have worked at my high school's veterinary clinic as well as volunteered at animal shelters and taken care of family friends' pets. I am currently a student at the University of Memphis, and my schedule varies from day to day, but I am mostly available during the afternoons or early mornings. If you reach out to me, I can provide exact details of when I am available, and we can work something out! I have reliable transportation to come to your home and check in on your animals, or I can also stay the night in your home if that works better for your pet's schedule.
About: I ‘m exceptionally careful and sensitive to your pup’s personality and temperament. I will Aid in any fun times that you don’t have time to give them. So when you’re home from work they are tired just like you and really for a cuddling sleep next to you! Anything else you need like special instructions or guidance, I will be happy to oblige. I love getting to know different puppies and dogs so that I can learn more about the different breeds. I fully plan to start my own business in about five years and it will be dedicated to dogs cats and other small caged animals. I truly believe that your pets are family and that they deserve the very best care. I will Provide that!
“Abby was professional and communicative throughout our initial meeting and her time dog sitting in my home. She sent pictures and was respectful of my space- leaving it just as clean (or cleaner) than it was when she arrived. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”

“Great & Responsible sitter. Was so lucky to find him after another sitter unexpectedly cancelled. Would only ask that there was more communication & pictures while we were gone but other than that him and his girlfriend did an amazing job.”

About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.
About: I absolutely love animals of all kind! I have taken care of/ owned pets my entire life including dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, and fish! I have been dog-sitting for other families for about a year prior to Rover! I have strong passion for taking care of animals! I am a college student at U of M and I currently only work part-time! I have tons of open availability to be there for your pets! When taking care of pets, I make sure they are well fed, comfortable, and loved! My priority is to make sure your babies feel respected in their space!
“Jaymes did a great job with my dog! Mister was sick during the time he watched him and he kept me updated and was able to help him feel better. I highly recommend Jaymes!”

“We love having Magnolia watch our pets in our house when we’re out of town. One of our cats has a health issue and we feel so comfortable with Magnolia watching her. When we got home the kitties were happy, bowls were full, and house was clean. Thank you!!”

About: I have 7 years of pet sitting experience, and have petsat dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, pigs, and fish. What sets me apart is my experience with my 14 year old cat. She is diabetic and has a host of other senior Kitty problems. I administer insulin twice a day, glucose curves, and oral medication. I am comfortable doing all of this with your fur baby too. I am also known to give excellent pets and belly rubs! I am now in the clinical year of my Physician Assistant program, so my schedule will be heavily influenced by my preceptor at the time. I would love to walk your pet around the neighborhood and take them to the dog park if that is their interest as well. I give all the pets I petsit lots of attention and cuddles each and every day!
“Melissa came to the house early Sunday morning to be with Tootsie and Gizmo. She stayed with them until Saturday evening. They were well cared for. Thank you very much, Melissa.”

“Taylor and Kiersten are a godsend. My wife and I were a week away from leaving town, and our normal pet sitter, who always cares for our five dogs when we travel, fell ill. We’ve never had a backup, and we presently have a people-aggressive hound we’re working with who has a habit of biting our friends. The first pet sitter we interviewed was at our house for over an hour when she turned her back, and our problem dog lunged at her. We were getting ready to let our good friend of decades know that only one of us would be able to attend her wedding, when we had Taylor and Kiersten over for an interview. Taylor’s vast experience, plus Kiersten’s calming energy, put our problem dog right at ease. We were able to leave for the long weekend without worrying about our babies, or the people caring for them. Kiersten sent us photos and/or videos every day we were gone to show us how well they were getting along with our pups. It definitely put our mind at ease and let us enjoy the wedding weekend away. We highly recommend Taylor and Kiersten to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies, especially if they have special needs.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Locke
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Locke. 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 Locke 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 Locke 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 Locke 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.

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.
