“Leslie took great care of our dog for two weeks. She provided updates and was quick to respond to messages. Drop off and pick up were very smooth. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Dana (Aunt Dana) is just amazing. Her love for pups is apparent. Her deliberate approach to ensuring a positive experience for both Judge and me was incredibly refreshing. Her attention to detail, level of communication, and genuine caring for Judge built immediate trust. Highly recommend”
“Anamika did an INCREDIBLE job taking care of my 2 year old (high energy) havanese puppy! We had just moved to Charlotte and it was hard to find someone I could completely trust. After tons of meet and greets, I had a good feeling about Anamika, and decided to board my pup with her for 5 days. From the moment I left, I was given multiple updates/pictures a day. If I reached out she responded very timely (within minutes). She has a great fenced in yard and she never let Dudley outside without supervision. This was super important for me as I have a smaller dog. Dudley also fell completely in love with Anamika’s dog, Hazel! Thank you so much for treating Dudley like your own! I could tell he was well taken care of and happy! We will be back soon 🙂”
“Cinthya took care of my dog Pumpkin for a weekend and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent pictures! My dog loved it and looked very happy and well taken care of! Will definitely book again”
“We are a repeating customer of Brittany. My pups receive her well, are taken care of and appear very happy under their care. Brittany is very accommodating and pleasant to work with. I will be using her services for future sittings. You should as well!”
“Amy and Ross did a fantastic job taking care of our girl! The meeting ahead of time gave me peace of mind about where she would be and who she would be with. She warmed up to them quickly and I appreciated the photos and the video they shared while I was away! I would highly recommend their services to anyone.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy with my experience. My dog came home very happy and I know he was well cared for with Alyssa. I will definitely use her again!”
“This was our first time leaving our kitty behind while going out of town and Tyeriah assured us that she would make our kitten feel comfortable and at home. And she did just that! I have never seen him warm up to new people as quickly as he did with her. At first, we were nervous but we were instantly reassured as she adjusted to our kitten’s needs and provided pictures and updates often. We were speechless when we saw how comfortable he had gotten after leaving him in her hands. We are beyond satisfied. Sometimes it is hard finding someone you can trust to take care of your pets and we hit the jackpot with Tyeriah. 10/10. Would definitely recommend!”
“Chloe had an amazing experience with Kristian, her family, and her very sweet dogs! She sent pictures and updates daily. Kristian is very experienced, flexible, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Plus, her backyard is huge and gives dogs a wonderful place to play and explore! So happy to have found Kristian and I cannot recommend her enough!! A thousand stars!”
“Jasmine was nothing short of amazing!! She put me at ease with her calm demeanor when I first met her. Throughout my dog’s visit, she kept me informed and sent me pics that calmed me and put me more at ease! I will definitely use her again, my dog loves her!! Thanks again Jasmine!”
About: I have two dogs and have trained both since they were puppies! I love spending time with all dogs and taking them on walks. I want to make sure that while you’re away, you are confident that your baby is not only safe but is also having a great time making new friends! I work full time but can be flexible with my schedule! I only work 10 mins away and take two breaks a day to check on the babies. I walk them before I go to work and after I’m off. Then we play at the house until they’re tired out and ready for bed There’s a path in the neighborhood I like to walk with my dogs! It doesn’t have heavy traffic and it gives them just enough to explore!
“Monica and her family were awesome sitters for our furry kid, Dusty. She kept us informed and took such good care of our little guy! Would definitely use again in the future!”
“This was our first boarding experience with Rachel and it went beautifully. Our dogs were well cared for and even received a doggy bath on pick up day. Communication was very efficient throughout the process, plus Rachel also gave me several tips on how to use the Rover app., making it even easier. We have already booked our two dogs to stay with her next month.”
“Couldn’t be happier. Brittany came in and saved the day! Such an amazing sitter! Extremely communicative, caring, and made me feel so comfortable being away. My pup was so happy. I will 1000% be rebooking”
About: We’ve both loved animals since childhood, and for nearly 15 years, we had the privilege of caring for two rescue dogs we brought home from Korea. Over the years, we cared for them through surgeries, illnesses, and their senior years. They had very different personalities and needs, and we learned how important it is to understand each dog and care for them as individuals - with patience, attention, and plenty of love. We’ve since said goodbye to both of our beloved dogs after long, happy lives. While we aren’t quite ready to adopt again, we miss having dogs around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. We offer a calm, comfortable home where your dog will be treated like one of our own. We also only board dogs from one household at a time, allowing us to give your pets our full attention without the stress of unfamiliar dogs sharing their space. We’d love to welcome your dogs into our home and give them the same patience, affection, and personalized care we gave our own. Our routine allows us to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout your dog’s stay. One of us works from home and is here nearly all day during the week, so your dog will have someone around for most of the day. We keep a comfortable, relaxed routine with regular opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. We’re also attentive to each dog’s individual schedule and will do our best to maintain the routines they’re accustomed to at home. On weekends, we have a few occasional commitments, but we plan our schedule carefully and will never leave your dog alone for more than about three hours at a time on the days or evenings when we’re away. Our goal is to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time safely, along with a comfortable home environment where they can relax and settle into their own routine. We also have a crate available for dogs who are comfortable being crated or whose owners prefer that arrangement. When we need to leave the house, we have a dedicated, small space that is free of potential hazards where your dog can stay safely and comfortably until we return. We understand that every dog is different, so we’ll follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, sleeping arrangements, and other care needs.
“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
“Thank you, Shalyn, for taking such great care of Tucker while we were away. It is such a blessing knowing he is being treated like a member of your family.”
“Sheila took such great care of Penny! We loved the photos and videos she sent us. It was easy to see how happy and comfortable Penny felt with her. Penny was exhausted when we brought her home. Definitely recommend her!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Locust home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.

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.
