About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have personally cared for my own dog for the past 11 years. I also have 4 years of experience working at an animal clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs and behaviors. In addition, I’ve helped care for newborn puppies and pet-sat for several families. I truly love animals and treat every pet with patience, attention, and care. I am an incoming veterinary student, and since it is summer, I currently have open and flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends for pet care services. I have over four years of experience working at an animal clinic, so I am very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand the importance of safety, patience, proper handling, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life, and I couldn’t imagine life without them! I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own currently and I also own horses. Family and friends know they can always depend on me to take care of their pets while they are away. I am reliable, patient, caring, and have a profound love for all animals. I am currently working part-time. I am generally available Monday-Friday from 7am-6pm, there is some flexibility. I’m also available on Sunday mornings from 8am-12pm, again there is some flexibility in those hours if necessary. I have experience safely handling dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. In your home or on a walk, their safety and happiness is my top priority!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
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.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid and have experience looking after both my own pets and those of family and friends. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust. I provide a safe, loving environment and will treat your pup like one of my own, making sure they receive the attention, care, and comfort they deserve while you're away. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Morning outdoor time is available and plenty of time after 4pm. Your dog will enjoy a large, secure fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have two friendly pups who love making new friends, but your dog can also have one-on-one outdoor time if they prefer. I can easily crate your dog if needed and provide treats (while following any allergy or dietary restrictions). To ensure your pet's routine stays consistent, I'll ask for their daily feeding instructions, medications (if applicable), and any other important information to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable during their stay.
“So grateful for Heather! She loves my baby like she is her own!! They always have a great time together! I would recommend anyone to her! She is truly an angel! We love her!!”
“This was my 1st time using Rover, so I was alittle nervous about leaving my babies at the house with an unfamiliar person while we were out of town. I found Kaylani on the Rover site & she was able to schedule a meet & greet with me a few weeks in advance. After meeting her & seeing how she interacted with my babies, I felt reassured that she was going to be a great fit. I was right, Kaylani did a great job, she followed the instructions I left & made my out of town trip feel less stressful for me & my babies.”

About: Hello! My name is Jeremiah, I started this because I absolutely adore pets - being a pet owner myself I believe it is imperative that pets receive the care that they deserve!! 🙂 Im currently free to work at my selected hours within any time window (afternoons and evenings 1pm -10pm) as long as nothing urgent requires my attention. Pets in my home experience the upmost love❤️ and careful🙌🏽 treatment. For me the most important thing is patience whether that’s when taking a dog for a walk or making sure they are fed properly☝🏽. That is my standard for my pets and others’! 🙂
“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.”
“I’m so thankful for them to last minute be able to care for my pup! It helped out so much and I appreciate the time they took out of their day to walk and make sure he’s able to use the restroom!”
About: I had 3 dogs during my childhood, and today I currently have 2 dogs that I care for while feeding them, playing with them, teaching tricks, and even bathtime is a riot, but fun. I enjoy walking the dogs on a daily basis, I get my exercise while they get a scenic view of the outside world. Playing inside and outside the house I enjoy teaching dogs tricks on how to sit, turn around lay down and crawl. Feeding the puppies and dogs making sure they have water and are well cared for. Spending time with them petting them, rubbing their stomachs and just having a grand ole time. What better way than to meet new friends, and gain trust with their dogs and have an enjoyable walks and awesome treats throughout their stay. Cant wait to hear from you all. :-)
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 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.

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!

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 .

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.
