About: I'm all about consistency, structured, and love. You and your baby(ies) will feel secure with me. I'm very detailed and organized. I grew up in an old school 24hr home daycare for children. I feel fur babies should get that same attention, devotion and love. I also provide transportation for humans. 🐶 Pups who enjoy car rides travel with me for ride. For my pup parents, I also provide transportation to the airport for an additional fee. Pup parents are welcome to park their vehicle in my driveway. I create a place of peace for my fur babies. My home has a calm environment. Older pups who don't care to be bothered with other pups are separated. I make sure personal space is respected.

About: With 11 years of dedicated ownership, I offer a level of intuition and patience that only comes from a lifetime of love. I specialize in recognizing subtle health cues, managing unique temperaments, and providing the mature, reliable care your dog deserves. I don’t just watch dogs—I understand them. Pet care is the heart of my day, not just a task. My flexible schedule allows me to offer undivided attention during mid-day walks or late-night snuggles. I treat every visit as an opportunity to provide the consistency and companionship your dog craves, fitting seamlessly into our shared routine I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around. I also have a chair in the living room that is specifically for pups!

About: We’ve looked after all kinds of animals! (And believe me I mean all kinds) I’ve been official in pet care for 5yrs, and my husband has 3yrs animal obedience training! Our family has always trusted us as the official pet sitter due to our patience, responsibility, and compassion. We take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and our genuine love for animals shows that. Whether they’re playful, senior, shy, or require extra attention, we care for every animal the way we’d want someone to care for our own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I run two of my own businesses, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to dedicate a lot of time to caring for your pets! I’ve been a CNA for 8 years, and after 4 years in healthcare, I branched out and started my own service. I’ve also owned and operated my pet care business for 5 years! I love being in healthcare, but my true passion has always been animals.🐾❣️My schedule is generally open unless I have something already planned, and I’ll always communicate with clients ahead of time about my availability. I’m also lucky to have my husband by my side! We’re truly a little power team when it comes to caring for your fur babies. He has 3 years of animal obedience training and is an entrepreneur who helps with our pet care in his spare time. When I’m unavailable, he is there to help take over and make sure your pets continue receiving the same loving, dependable care. Because we work as a team, you may interact with or receive care from both of us during your pet’s stay. We’re committed to treating every pet like family and making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐶🐱💕 We provide warm, loving, and dependable home for pets of all kinds. We live in a family oriented neighborhood with plenty of space in the house, as well as a large front and partially fenced back yard! (And a large deck for those who love to sun bathe!) Our neighborhood also forms a circle great for walks on a leash! We take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply offering companionship, we treat every pet like family. We guarantee the care you receive for your pets is the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for our own. I also offer extra kennels, leashes, bowls, and toys for those who are in a rush and simply forget!

“Oh my goodness!!! I don’t have enough nice words to express my gratitude for Heather!! First of all she saved our vacay when my regular sitter bailed at the last minute, then she provided multiple daily updates on how things were going. I have senior (doggie )ladies but I am very particular about their care. She made sure she got it all right. Just fantastic!! When we arrived back home, I think the girls were looking for her-they were not overly excited, so to me that proved they were super comfy with her. She has a very calm and beatifiul spirit and the animals pick up on that. I was very nervous about using a service but we picked the right sitter! We have a number of rescue pups and because I am very particular about their care, we don’t get a chance to vacation much-and when we do we worry about their care when I’m gone, not this time!! My Pups love her, she tidied the house ( we had a packing frenzy before we left) and even fed the visiting deer, she went above and beyond.I WILL BE SURE TO CALL UPON HER AGAIN❤️ SHE IS SUPERB in fact she may become our go to sitter if she’ll accept, 😆 this experience was better than I could have anticipated. Thank you Heather and Rover!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a huge animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets like they’re family. What sets me apart as a sitter is the love, patience, and attention I give to every pet I care for. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I strive to provide loving, dependable care while keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs and routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all personalities and believe patience, consistency, and attentiveness are key to great pet care. I also believe communication is important, so I make sure pet parents feel reassured by sending updates, photos, and messages while they’re away from their furry family member. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and following any special instructions to help maintain their routine and comfort. I currently work Monday–Friday during the day, so I’m available for evenings, weekends, and flexible pet care arrangements. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work Monday–Friday during the day, so I’m available for evening care, drop-in visits, walks, boarding, and weekends. I’m committed to making sure pets stay on their normal routine and receive the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in their home or welcoming them into mine for boarding, I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they feel happy and cared for. I enjoy being active, spending time with animals, and making sure every pet feels secure and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always try to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention while following any special instructions. For boarding in my home, I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I also have two dogs at home, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents feel reassured while away.

I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on.

About: I've taken care of a goofus labador retriver named Ginny for many years along with mulitple cats. My love of animals led me to getting my first job at petsmart pet hotel. I love playing and loving on all pets as much as I can. I'm currently working part time for another technical company from the hours of 9am to 530pm. I mostly likely can do friday through the weekend for sitting. I have enough experience to know what to do for dogs and cats. I will play with them. I will ask for any names or things that will make them comfortable and my top concern is letting them know that I will love on them and I am safe.

About: Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I have volunteered working with animals and have taken care of my own pets (dog cats and fish) for 12 years now. I can meet the vibe of most animals whether they are laid back and quiet or hyper and ready to go! All animals deserve respect and patience, and I provide these when working with new animals. I have bottle fed kittens and taken care of sick animals. Our pets are our family and I treat every new pet as a new friend! Most of my free time is on the weekends but I have no problem popping in on your fur baby! Walks, cuddles, food and treat time even a good snooze! Whatever they need, I am happy to assist with! I am always respectful of a client's home, as someone who has experience working as an Operations Manager for children with Autism, I have always been sensitive to the needs of others. I will ask questions and gather information for clarification on your furry friend's needs and review a schedule with you before getting started!

About: What sets me apart is that I don’t just watch dogs — I care for them. I’m very attentive to their routines, their energy, and what makes them feel safe. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning and gentle with senior dogs who need extra love and understanding. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel comfortable, calm, and truly cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily routine. I plan my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they get consistent attention, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and rest. I’m home and present, so your pet isn’t left alone for long periods. Caring for dogs is something I intentionally make time for, not something I squeeze in. Safety, trust & environment How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer.

About: With 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats in their homes, I understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for everything from young puppies to senior dogs, including multiple dogs in one household and high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable following individualized routines, including special diets and oral or topical medications/treatments. I’m also happy to learn and follow your pet’s specific care instructions to make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. For active dogs, I’m more than happy to match their energy—I’m willing to go on whatever length of walk is appropriate for their needs rather than treating exercise as a one-size-fits-all service. Whether your dog needs a long walk and lots of playtime or prefers a quiet, relaxed day at home, I’ll tailor their care to them. I know that house sitting is about more than just caring for your pets. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own, and I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and affection while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet care, including daytime visits, walks, and overnight house sitting. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and can accommodate their individual routines and needs. My availability will become more limited when I begin my full-time position later this year, but I will keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings I can give my full attention to. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions and your pets’ normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, exercise, and other special care needs. I’m attentive to safety and will make sure your pets are secure and comfortable throughout my stay or visit. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: With over 10+ years of experience in dog sitting and walking, I've had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I love getting to know my clients and do my best to meet their expectations and requests. From helping puppies learn basic commands to providing gentle guidance for dogs, I’ve honed a skill set that focuses on positive reinforcement and building trust. Dog walking is something I truly enjoy—each walk is an opportunity to connect with dogs and give them the exercise and mental stimulation they need. What brings me the most joy, though, is giving back to my community. Helping dogs in need while fostering positive relationships with pet owners is incredibly rewarding. Being able to support families and their pets while making a positive impact on my neighborhood truly makes my work fulfilling. It’s not just about walking or training; it’s about creating a space where both dogs and their owners feel cared for and understood. Weekends and during the week are good days for dog walking or pet sitting appointments. I work full time, and allow enough time for pet sitting. I have two dog houses that my family and I built, cages used when necessary and tons of play space in the yard for my dogs. I am happy to provide my dogs with the utmost best care and upkeep!

About: I love caring for all pets and making sure they feel loved and to alleviate any stress they feel when their owner is away. As I know that my own pets love having a caring person with them when we travel and they are not with us. I strive to provide the same level of care for each pet I care for, as well. I work for myself and set my own schedule at this time. So, unless I am traveling or already booked I can be flexible to adjust my schedule with sufficient notice. Currently, I offer in-home care directly, so your pet feels most at home, at ease, and comforted by being in familiar surroundings. You can trust that I will be there to provide your pet with the best care, giving them the attention and love they need so that they won't feel distressed while you're away. I can work with puppies to senior dogs and kittens to older cats as well. I'm happy to meet with you and your pets in advance of booking to ensure we're a good fit for each other.

About: All Dog and Cats are welcomed !! I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side. Dogs are an emotional support for me personally. I’m very gentle, caring , patient and a little too generous with treats I’m working full time as of right now. I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies. There is also nice parks around for walks. I don’t have a fence as of right now but it’ll be one soon

Olivia was amazing! Not only was she so flexible with a last minute booking, she also took great care of our boy. We got plenty of photos and updates throughout the weekend and she was so respectful of our space. We would most definitely have her watch our pup again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Locust Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Locust Grove is $111 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $52 and $113 per night. 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 1,200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Locust Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Locust Grove walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Locust Grove maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Locust Grove. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
