“Lissette took great care of our three dogs. She was able to juggle their differing needs. We will be asking her back for our next trip and will be hoping she is available.”
“We were getting married and needed someone who we could rely on as we wouldn't have cell service all weekend. Nathan did all that and brought the dogs for a photo shoot on the big day. We both appreciated having someone who we could trust with our two dogs!”
“Danielle took excellent care of our pup. She is a true dog lover who seems to really enjoy her work! We appreciated her regularly updates complete with pictures.”
“Rosey is a conscientious and kind sitter who always makes sure your pets are well tended to — and that you feel like you can relax and have a good time!! The last time Rosey stayed at our house our dog gave her a little trouble by barking outside late at night. She handled it so well and she knew I felt terrible and even left me a cupcake so I wouldn’t feel so guilty, which is more than I could’ve possibly asked for. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Thanks for providing our girl with live and care while we were away! We were grateful to receive daily updates of photos and our Dane seemed right at home. So relaxed - belly up! Thanks again!”
“My fiancée and I feel like we’ve hit the jackpot after adding Abi to our lives! She came to our home before our trip to meet us and our girls, ask plenty of questions, and see how the dogs responded to her presence. She is warm and patient, and even our super anxious/epileptic dog took to her quickly (a rare occurrence). She was meticulous in reviewing our care instructions for our needy crew (two dogs on several meds). She texted us pictures while we were away, asked follow up questions, and truly put our minds at ease seeing how much she cared for our girls. We can’t thank her enough for the ways she impressed us, and hope to have her return soon!”
“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!”
“Ireland was fantastic and we would highly recommend her! She was a great communicator throughout our trip, took excellent care of our pup, and was very respectful of our home. We came back to a happy, tired dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. We truly appreciated her professionalism and care.”
“Paige was awesome! She stayed at my house with my senior dog for the weekend. My dog was happy & relaxed when I got home and my house was exactly as I left it. I will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and I have been watching other people's pets for roughly 6 years. I have watched pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes ranging from big to small dogs, elder cats, and kittens. I have cared for pets with all different needs and will care for your pet no matter how "interesting" their routines are! I am a full-time college student with a pretty open class schedule. I am able to watch your pets easily in the mornings and afternoons/evenings and can occasionally do so during the day on weekdays! I understand that every pet has different needs and am willing to accommodate for whatever they need. In the past, I have had many different dogs with different needs and have learned how to care for all different kinds of dogs. I have also worked with many elder cats that need specific medications or routines and have learned how to care for them in their own specific ways.
“LaTrice is awesome! She took great care of my pup while I was out of town for a few days. She’s really on top of things and super reliable, and genuinely loves spending time with your dog/cat/crew of animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her whenever I need a dog sitter in the future!”
“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.”
“Christian went above and beyond all that was expected for our dog Murphy and for our home while we were away for a week and is truly the best. Christian is phenomenal, is so caring and pays attention to detail. Murphy loves Christian and was so comfortable the entire week - we were totally confident and comfortable knowing Christian was here for us while we were away! We could not recommend Christian more!!!!”
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a 10 mile run, relaxing companionship, or attentive care and routine, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to visit and play with your pets! I'm available at most times, 7 days a week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. In my home, I provide a safe, supervised environment that is clean and has plenty of open space. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings while keeping their space clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see that your pet is happy and well cared for!
“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!”
“James is so great!! Our cat and home were well taken care of- he spent a lot of time at home, and was even happy to book during the holidays. Our cat can be pretty distrusting of new people, and he took the time to get to know her and win her over. He kept up with her routines and checked in with us at least daily.”
About: I grew up with large dogs and cats and have a beloved rescue cat now. As a young person, I housesat, babysat, and took care of animals throughout my neighborhood and my parents’ friend group. I am used to taking care of my family’s dogs when they are out of town. All I need is an introduction and instructions. I am a kind, mature, and responsible person -- a homeowner myself -- and would be happy to take extra care with simple tasks (like collecting mail and watering plants) while I’m checking on your animals. Let me know how I can help and provide peace of mind while you are away! I am currently working part-time from home and finishing a graduate program at UVA so I have a flexible schedule. I prefer early morning and evening checkins/walks (in case I do need to go into work). I can be available to stay overnight if needed. In my client's home, I really want to provide as much continuity as possible. That means emotionally supporting and reassuring your animals and maintaining their schedules and habits with food and medication. It also means fun, a chance for your companions to experience a new friendly face in a safe environment. In my home: My cat is a rescue that came out of a very difficult situation. She is wonderful and we're so proud of how far she has come from the terrified animal we first adopted. I do not feel that she would welcome other animals into our home at this time, however.
“Caring, thoughtful, dependable, and responsible. Charlotte did a wonderful job caring for Bessie and my home while I was away. Great daily communication. And she left the place nice and clean. I really appreciated her willingness to arrive very early in the morning and stay til late at night to accommodate my flight schedule. Definitely looking forward to having Charlotte take care of Bessie again soon, thank you!”
“We have used Kris several times for both overnight stays and dog walks. She is as reliable as they come, and we know our pup and home are always in great hands when we’re away. Highly recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Locust Grove is $50

Mackenzie stayed in our home with Maverick for a week while we were away, and it was such a comfort knowing he was being cared for in his own home. She sent us pictures and updates every day, which I really appreciated and always looked forward to receiving. She also brought in our mail and helped with watering our flowers while we were gone. Maverick was happy and doing well when we returned home, which of course was the most important thing to us. We appreciated Mackenzie taking care of him and would definitely consider having her stay with Maverick again!
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Danielle. She was absolutely incredible from beginning to end, and I genuinely don’t think we could have found a better person to care for our pets. I was extremely anxious about leaving them, especially because our dog, Merlin, can be anxious when we’re away and requires a little more patience, attention, and understanding than the average dog. Our cats also have their own personalities, routines, and anxieties, so trusting someone else with all three of them was a really big deal for me. Danielle completely put my mind at ease. She followed every single care instruction to a tee and was so attentive to all of the little details that matter to us. More importantly, though, she treated our animals with so much genuine love, patience, and kindness. She took the time to make Merlin feel comfortable and secure, kept up with his routines, gave him plenty of attention, and handled his anxiety beautifully. She even handled his grooming incredibly well, which was another aspect of his care that meant a lot to us. Merlin is a Samoyed with a lot of fur and grooming him can require patience and a gentle approach, and Danielle did an amazing job making sure he was comfortable while still taking such great care of his coat. I was genuinely impressed by how confidently and patiently she handled him. She was equally wonderful with our cats and allowed them to warm up to her at their own pace while making sure they felt safe, loved, and cared for. Seeing how comfortable they became with her was incredibly reassuring. Danielle also went above and beyond when it came to communication. She sent us frequent updates and so many wonderful photos, told us how everyone was doing, and gave me an incredible amount of reassurance throughout the entire time we were away. She seemed to understand without me even having to explain just how hard it was for me to leave them, and her updates allowed me to actually relax and enjoy our trip because I knew our babies were in such capable and loving hands. What stood out most was that this never felt like someone simply “watching our pets.” Danielle genuinely cared about them. You can tell when someone is just completing a list of instructions versus when someone is truly invested in making your animals feel happy, comfortable, and loved, and Danielle was absolutely the latter. The amount of care and compassion she showed them meant more to us than I can adequately put into words. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that had been treated with the utmost respect. Knowing that Merlin and the cats had someone so loving and dependable with them while we were gone was priceless. If you are an anxious pet parent, have pets with specific routines or needs, or simply want someone you can completely trust with the animals you consider family, I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. She exceeded every expectation we had. We are beyond grateful for everything she did for us and our fur babies, and we would trust her with them again in a heartbeat. She is truly an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their pets. We definitely look forward to having her stay again❤️
This is my first time using Rover. We were visiting the city and Kala was excellent!!!! It was the a horrible storm and she came anyway. After the storm, she took my dog out for a walk and did puppy training with her. Kala sent me pictures of my puppy while in her care. My puppy fell in love with her! She is the best!!! I wished she lived in my home town!! She is worth every penny.
Bryn was great! My pets can both be shy and slow to warm up to people, and they loved her! Both Piper and Beckett ended up snuggling with her while she stayed with them. I appreciated that she stayed overnight with them, left my apartment as clean as it was when she arrived, and even took my trash out for me. Thanks, Bryn!
Maggie was amazing! We came home to a happy, well fed, well walked dog! She did housesitting and not only took great care of our dog she also watered the plants, took trash out for collection and left the house wonderfully clean. She was communicative, sent updates and pictures and we felt comfortable with her at our house and dog while we were abroad for 10 days. Would highly recommend her!!
Rosey is amazing! She went above and beyond to help us out with a sick dog when we were out of town. She confidently administered medication and made him comfortable. On top of that she took excellent care of our house and plants. We are so grateful! Thank you, Rosey!
