“Dana took wonderful care of my two fur babies. She was kind and went above and beyond. She made sure she communicated daily with us for updates, giving us peace of mind. I would recommend her to anyone and will certainly rebook for upcoming vacations.”
“Cameron was great from his first response through his visit. Two minutes into his meet and greet I knew he was the one Alfie and Mitzie would love. Arrived right on time for both the meet and greet and his appointment, sent pictures, and left a note when he left. Now I can look for other places to go knowing my pups will be well cared for!”
“Thankful I found Courtney to take care of my dogs. I had a previous dog sitter cancel on me last minute and Courtney was able to save the day help me as soon as she could. Very nice, reliable and trustworthy. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”

I walk, sit in, feed, bathe, play, you name it. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to help them out while working late nights. I like to look at it as, they are just like us. They have a bladder, they get hungry and thirsty too! We are their world. I am currently working full time during the day so as soon as I get off I like to care for my fur friends.

“Anna was great- so communicative and took great care of June with drop in visits at our home. It was so helpful to have someone who was proactive with communication, letting me know exactly how each visit went so I didn’t have to ask or worry! We will definitely use her again.”

I have a certification in dog training, have taken a first aid class, and have experience with all kinds of pups! Dogs are my full-time job, which means your pup gets all of my time and attention! My day revolves around the care of my furr-ends! I have a fenced in yard and have a room in my home dedicated to the care of my clients!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Locust
Luke was absolutely wonderful with our animals! He cared for our dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and horses. We couldn’t have asked for someone more trustworthy and caring. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was fed, comfortable, and well cared for, and he spent extra time giving them attention and reassurance. Knowing that all of our animals were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Luke and will definitely book with him again!
Luke was awesome! He did drop-in visits twice a day while we were away, and our dogs absolutely loved him. Khloe was a little hesitant with him at first (she can be a bit cautious with new people 😂), but he was so patient with her and she warmed up to him quickly after getting plenty of pets and attention! Highly recommended if you want someone to love your dogs as much as you do while your away!!
Dana was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using a pet sitter and she exceeded our expectations. She came 3 times a day for Timber and spent quality time with him. She followed up with every visit providing pictures and updates. She even brought her dog gate from her house because our sneaky fellow kept trying to go upstairs! She went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again!
Absolutely love her! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. I have never used rover before and she made the process very easy. My dogs loved her which made the week stress free knowing they were taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about my pets. Would definitely have her watch them again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Locust is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,619 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Locust. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Locust. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
