“Scarlett was amazing with our dogs! She always went above and beyond! We actually could relax on our vacation knowing she was watching our fur babies. She was always on time and her report cards were thorough, always letting us know what was going on. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again, she has been the best dog sitter we have ever had!”
“Kayla communicated thoroughly and provided excellent care to my two senior dogs. She rolled with the punches when there were accidents and kept me informed. We will definitely be booking with Kayla again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes for more than 20 years. I see my own dogs as family, not just an animal to take care of. My goal is to always find the dog in the situation I am in, and befriend and spoil with snuggles and belly rubs. I have informal puppy training, meaning I did the training myself rather than taking a class. I have experience administering injections and giving pills. My goal is to make sure your pet remains as happy as possible while you are away to make it feel as if you never left home. Your pets care will always fit into my daily routine. I work in the school system so I am currently off for the summer, meaning once I drop my son off at daycare, I am open to your fur babies from 8a-5p Mon-Fri and all day on saturday and sunday. I treat your pets the same way I treat mine. (with respect to your household rules). I make sure my dogs eat twice a day and have fresh water daily. We have a fenced in yard so they get unlimited outside time as they wish, and will make sure that yours gets the same whenever I am at your home. I will make sure your pet gets their daily exercise, play and snuggles (and treats if you allow me to) to ensure they are comfortable while you are away.
“Heather is the absolute best! This was my first time using the Rover app and I am so happy with the service she provided! Heather’s communication is immaculate! She answered every question I had and eased my anxiety! My Marleigh girl loves her! This was a HUGE stress relief for me and I definitely will be booking again!! Thank you so much Heather! ❤️”
About: I’ve grew up with animals since the day I was born. My whole family is animal lovers and I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. There’s not one animal that I have met that hasn’t been obsessed with me. I usually work from home but sometimes at a hospital from 8-4:30. I can see your pet before work and stay with them after I get off. I would prefer staying at your home due to the pet having a routine. Too much change can stress them out. I love a detailed list and will follow it. If there’s not a list I will make sure your animal is cared for either way.
“Cassandra was great with our 3 puppies. She was on time, played with them, made sure they ate and cleaned after their mess. She sent us pictures everyday which made us feel at ease. She even picked up an extra day that was previously not discussed without hesitation. I truly appreciate her kindness and professionalism. She takes her job to heart. I'm very happy that we chose her to care after my babies and will definitely book her again. I don't have a necessity to look anywhere else if she's available. Recommend 100% to other fur parents.”
About: I have taken care of babies of both dogs and cats for years. From pups to seniors. I have a deep love for animals and have rescued many throughout the years, while also taking care of others. I treat others furbabies with the same love, attention and respect that I give my own. I currently work full time, but my hours are daytime only. I have pets of my own that are always taken care of and because I have a spouse and family close by, I am able to adjust accordingly to help with the needs of others who are seeking both stayovers and let outs. While I would not be caring for a clients pet in my home. We have a fenced yard at our home and we also walk our babies daily. So I am comfortable with both a fenced environment or leashe walking as needed.
“Liz is friendly and flexible. She clearly loves the pets she cares for and communicates very well before and after her visits. Leave your pet in her care with the utmost of confidence.”
“Dan did a great job. He was prompt and thorough. Taking care of 19 cats is daunting, but he was able to do it well. He even administered medication to one of the cats. I would certainly recommend.”
About: Hello, my preferred name is Nina. I am a true animal lover, I’ve taken care of my own animals my entire life. I’ve worked in an animal profession for 12 years. I worked as a PetCare Specialist, taking care of any animals needs. Varying from just affection to medical needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I am very dedicated to sharing my knowledge with people who have questions and making the best quality of life to make animals happy! My current schedule is pretty open at the moment! While I have my own fur babies, my roommate also has 2 dogs as well. So as long as we can make some time for them, your schedule will work for me too! House with lots of space to play and your animals will have free roam (unless a caged/tank animal). There is 2 cats and when they are overwhelmed they will just leave to have their alone time. I also have a Dog and she is very animal friendly and loves to play. I currently have my mom’s dog as well. Everything will be okay as long as the animal is friendly as well. There is a nice backyard with a pool if they enjoy swimming!
“Erin came to take care of our kitties while we were away for the weekend - we have one who has to take heart meds every day. Great communication and photos. Didn't have any worries about them while we were away. She even took care of some household things that we hadn't requested. Will definitely hire her again if she is willing and available!”
About: Who let the dogs out?? I do!! Would love the opportunity to earn your trust and business watching, playing, and spoiling your sweet babies. More about me: I have 3 dogs of my own. I have been around animals my entire life. When I was younger a lot of local neighbors relied on me to watch there pets and houses, and it’s just always been something I enjoyed since then. I absolutely love all types of animals, and would love to get to know yours. My wife and I are both on Rover and we truly enjoy this opportunity! I recently closed my local business and with my entrepreneurial heart, this fits my personality and my schedule perfect. I am available for a lot of different options and times. Contact me for more information! My biggest concern is treating your babies the same as if you were there. I want to be sure to provide love, care, and security that makes them as comfortable as possible. My personal dogs sleep with us every night, are always kept inside and even have their own doggie door to go in and out as they please. In other words, their spoiled rotten! Lol With your permission, I’d treat yours the same!
About: I’ve been a part of small to large dogs lives since I was young. I’ve watched, walked, and looked after dogs for years! I’ve always had a love for providing support for pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Grove
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how much care and attention Bethaney gives to animals. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief knowing we can leave our pet in such capable and caring hands with Bethaney. We would highly recommend Bethaney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Locust Grove stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Locust Grove choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Locust Grove with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
