“Tyra did an excellent job taking care of my extremely spoiled Frenchie! She treated my dog as if she were her own and made sure she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout her stay. Tyra provided plenty of updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to know exactly how my dog was doing while I was away. I truly appreciated the care, attention, and communication. I would definitely trust Tyra with my Frenchie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Brittany! They took such great care of our Cooke while we were away—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure all of our pup’s needs were met. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about animals and treated our dog like family. When we came to pick Cooke up he was so happy and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter!”
“Jeanette was absolutely amazing with my little man, Tebow! She was so well-prepared and organized, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout my trip, she sent me numerous videos and updates that allowed me to truly relax and enjoy myself without worrying. When my flights were delayed and I had to reschedule pickup, she was so accommodating. And when I overslept on pickup day (oops!), she kindly called to make sure I was okay. That level of care and thoughtfulness says it all! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares for your fur babies like they’re her own, look no further than Jeanette. She’s officially Tebow’s new sitter for any boarding needs—no questions asked. I could go on and on, but I’ll stop here. Thank you so much, Jeanette, for everything!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we had such a good experience! Jamie was very experienced and professional and gave us regular updates on how our pup was doing. We’ve never left him with anyone other than family or our neighbor, but we felt relaxed and confident leaving him in Jamie’s care for a week while we were away. Jamie has two very sweet dogs and a big backyard for the pups to run around. Our dog came home tired and happy. We couldn’t have asked for more! We will definitely use Jamie again!!”

“It's always a little stressful to leave your pup with someone new but Katherine and her family were wonderful! She seemed to really care about knowing the specific requests we had for our dog and was thoughtful and thorough, which we really appreciated. And the best part was getting all the picture and video updates! We felt like our pup was having a good time since we were able to see her playing in the pictures.. it made us less worried to know she was having a good time and to see that Katherine was taking good care of her. Katherine has dogs of her own and kids, so it was great for our dog to always have someone to play with during her stay. She came home good and tired. Thanks again, Katherine!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Locust can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Locust home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Locust.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Locust. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
You and your Locust sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 NC 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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
