House Sitting Locust Grove

“Kailyn was so professional and communicative. She takes her job seriously and it shows. My babies were healthy and happy when I returned from my trip, and that’s everything! I came home to my house in order, and a darling personal note from her with little photos of my dogs attached. Best experience I’ve had with a Rover sitter. Peace of mind is something you can’t put a price on!”

“Nathan kept our new pup Volton busy and out of trouble while he entertained Sascha too! We always appreciate a sitter that treats our pups as their own!”

“Lissette provided both dogsitting and housesitting services for us. She was very caring and affectionate with our two small dogs. One of our dogs, from a rescue, is very suspicious of newcomers, but she became comfortable with Lissette quickly. While we were away, Lissette provided frequent updates, including many photos and videos. We would not hesitate to ask Lissette to take care of house and of our pups again -- the pups would probably be very happy to see her, their new friend.”

“Rosey is just wonderful! She stayed at our house with our two dogs for 5 nights and it couldn’t have gone better! The dogs were super happy - we got pics of them snuggling on the couch and enjoying life. Rosey was prompt, super kind, and trustworthy. We will not hesitate to have her house sit the dogs on future trips! Highly recommend her!”

“Tracy was an incredible house sitter! She took great care of our pup, left our home excellent condition, and was regularly in contact with us throughout our time away. I can't recommend her enough and we are certain to contact her again when we need someone to look after our dog.”

“We are very comfortable with Tessa. She took care of our elderly dog including two daily medications. We got updates and pictures and our dog was in good spirits when we returned. We have already booked our next appointment with her, so we're very happy with the care our dog received.”

“Dakota did an amazing job taking care of our dog for the entire weekend! Our dog has lots of medication and diet needs, and Dakota handled that with no issues! We returned to a very happy pup!”

About: I have a large family dog that I have been responsible for since I was about 10 years old. She has since gotten older so I have experience with a senior dog and giving any sorts of medication (and the peanut butter necessary to get her to take it). I am no stranger to having to clean up any accidents in the house so that is a non-issue for me. I am also open to taking care of other animals like rodents or turtles or other cage creatures. I am a true and passionate animal lover! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am happy to give as much or little time needed for the pets. I can figure out any scheduling and details necessary with clients. I am never loud coming into a home. I always let the pets come to me unless they are hiding on purpose. I take care instructions very seriously and will follow everything exactly and will reach out if I have questions about the best way I can care for your fur friend.

“Out of towner: Abby was amazing at watching our dog for the first time as we came to town for an event. She was so easy to communicate with and took extra great care of our dog for the night. Wish we lived closer so we could use her again!”

Ethan L.

“When we read Danielle's profile we knew she was the perfect match for our older dog. Danielle was always quick to reply, great with our dog, sent lots of pictures throughout, and kept us informed about how our dog was doing. We also appreciated that Danielle was willing to schedule some meet ups before our booking to get to know our dog, and let our dog get to know her. We booked Danielle to stay overnight, and our house was exactly as we left it. We cannot say enough good things about Danielle, except that we will definitely book her again in the future”

“Ireland was fantastic! She came over a few days before we left for our long weekend trip to meet us, our pets and walk through things for staying at our house. While we were away she communicated via txt regularly and provided pictures of our dog out on walks : ) We highly recommend Ireland and will absolutely reach out to her again in the future!”

Patrick H.

“Mackenzie is the best! She's taken the time to connect with our (rather shy) cat, and she's so communicative and professional. We feel totally comfortable leaving home when she's watching our house and cat. Can't recommend her enough!”

Kittie C.

“Ashley was great! She let me know when she arrived and how Buster greeted her. She kept Buster company for several hours during my longer than usual work day— preventing him from getting too anxious about being alone. You can tell Ashley is a true animal lover as well as being very conscientious and reliable. Will definitely reach out to her again for dog sitting!”

Tina F.

“Christian was amazing! My dog loved her and she sent so many updates of pictures amd videos. Even cleaned the house before she left. I've already booked her again.”

Liesl S.

“Genesis was wonderful! Kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. She stayed at our house for two nights and the place is spotless. Benny loved her!”

Emily H.

“James is amazing with our 17 year old senior dog and young dog that needs a lot of exercise and potty breaks! Our time away is so much more enjoyable knowing he is taking such great care of the dogs.”

About: Make sure you have a sitter that loves your pet as much as you do! I am a devoted animal lover and I have 8 years of pet sitting experience (not including my own dogs/cats/guinea pigs/ect!). I have experience with a wide age range of dogs (and other furry friends!) including puppies to senior dogs, and have done pet sitting gigs ranging from a weekend, a week, or even a month if needed! I know how important it is to leave your furry baby with someone who will treat them as well as you do. My job is to do just that! I currently work remote with very flexible work day hours. I am a graduate student at UVA with very flexible summer hours. I am happy to spend the day with your pet, a few check ins, a good walk, or whatever else you and your pet may need! I respect you and your pets space! Its very important to me to do what makes you both happy and most comfortable during my time with you. Please do not hesitate to ask for anything or share any information or instructions which would help you feel at ease

“We love having Kris stay at our house to watch Marleigh! She takes great care of our doggo (gives her a lot of love!) *and* our home while we’re away. Thanks again, Kris!”

About: I have experience caring for and walking dogs through both pet sitting and volunteer work. In the past, I regularly cared for my aunt and uncle's dog while they were away, which included walks, feeding and companionship. I also volunteered at a dog rescue where I walked dogs, cleaned kennels, and helped ensure the animals were comfortable and well cared for. While those experiences were some time ago, my love of dogs has remained constant. Having grown up with dogs and spending time with friends' dogs over the years, I am comfortable around a variety of personalities and enjoy helping dogs stay happy, active, and engaged. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and dependable pet care. My days are spent managing my home, pursuing professional development and training opportunities, and staying active in my community. This flexibility enables me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I tailor my care to each pet's needs and routine. For cats, I typically provide drop-in visits morning and evening, spending time feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them attention and companionship. For dogs, I prefer staying in the client's home so they can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. This allows me to provide consistent care, companionship, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away.

“Definitely one of my favorite pet sitters that I have worked with since using Rover. Communicated really well throughout the stay. I got lots of picture updates. With the weather changing, he had no issue putting both dogs in sweaters. I felt so confident that they were receiving the best care possible.”
