“Olivia took very good care of my fur baby Izzy. She communicated well and ensured that she understood the instructions on taking care of my baby. I wasn’t worried about Izzy at all while I was away. I would definitely recommend her, she’s awesome!”


“Kanija was very prompt in her reply and spot on with arrival time. My three dogs were very receptive to her and the attention she gave them. I would most definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and would use again if needed.”

“Jody was great taking care of Zane only a few days after his big brother, Atlas had passed. She is a great house sitter and shows genuine concern for the animals. Will be using her again.”

“This was my first time having a pet sitter and Heather made the process so seamless. She provided constant updates and photos of my fur babies. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and will definitely be working with Heather in the future!”

“Torie went above and beyond to ensure our pups were taken care of while we were away. She communicated with us daily, giving updates and pictures of our pups which gave us a peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Will definitely book again!”

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.
“Amanda was great with all 3 of our large breed dogs! She provided frequent updates and our dogs seemed to really feel comfortable with her. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

“Catecha was great again. I got video and pictures of both dogs, and they were happy with their tails wagging. Catecha stays at the house to make the dogs feel more comfortable when we are gone. She is respectful of the house and leaves it clean. We have other trips planned in the coming months and will be booking with Catecha again!”

About: I treat every pet as if they are my own! I have a passion for animals and care for them deeply. I can’t wait to meet yours! I currently am working part-time, so it gives me plenty of time to play and care for your fur-babies around my schedule. I make your pet my first priority! I respect any rules or extra details given to care for your pet. I also respect any property I arrive to and make sure your animals feel the most safe around me.
“Sierra was friendly and professional, she shared photos and videos of her having fun with my three small dogs. She followed all instructions and made the experience easy. Thanks Sierra!”


About: Being born in a home with pets I developed a passion for animals. Ranging from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and fish. Over a decade ago I started supplementing my income with boarding. I have a flexible schedule convenient for daily walks, and boarding. I also offer socialization trips. Scheduled times are available 24/7 and emergency boarding is available. I have a safe and secured home with a large yard. My neighborhood is great for walks and in distance to local parks and dog parks.

About: I have taken care of different animals since I was very little. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, fish, birds, bunnies and even a chinchilla. I’ll take care and love your animals like I do my own. I work a full time job but I can come early In the morning and around 5 in the evening . I try to be as flexible with your needs and wants for your animals. I have 2 cats who are polar opposites. One loves to snuggle and the other hides in our room like she’s a 16 year old teenager. We love them both as they are and cater to what each of them needs.
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!
“Canija did a wonderful job taking care of our furbabies. We felt very comfortable with her staying with them and keeping them from feeling stressed while we were away.”

“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”

About: Important update. I no longer accept any flat face breeds. Sorry for the restriction but with the health risk I can’t take a chance. I would be happy to refer you to other’s but I don’t have any exceptions for flat face breeds. For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself to caring for and rescuing animals. I possess a unique connection with all creatures, making them feel at ease in my presence. Whether it's a familiar pet or a new one, I am committed to learning everything necessary to provide exceptional care. I am skilled in administering medications and can handle puppies, including boarding them when needed. High-energy breeds are no challenge for me, and I also provide a peaceful environment for elderly dogs, allowing them to relax indoors while enjoying the countryside. Being physically fit, I can manage strong breeds without any issues, and I have no restrictions on breed types. My home is shared with six dogs, six cats, chickens, ducks, and geese. My patience with animals is unmatched, and I have a keen ability to interpret their body language, ensuring they always feel safe and comfortable. In my experience, every animal I encounter seems to take a liking to me. My schedule is centered around my furry clients. I can accommodate last-minute visits and often have space for boarding animals on short notice. Additionally, I provide pick-up and drop-off services, which is really helpful for those who need to leave quickly and can’t bring their pup to me. I strive to keep my schedule and availability as flexible as I can. I reside in the countryside and I have a securely fenced space. I consistently walk my animals on a leash and ensure that they are never in the company of others that might provoke a conflict. The safety and comfort of the animals are my top priorities. When boarding them, I strive to create a homely atmosphere. During my visits to their homes, I focus on keeping them relaxed and stress-free.
“Denae was an exceptional dog sitter for my dog Izzy! She was very communicative and I didn’t worry about Izzy one bit while I was gone. She also kept my house well maintained and I couldn’t tell that she had even been there and I’m close to being OCD…lol. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Locust Grove is $111 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $52 and $113 per night.

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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
