“Our Shih Tzu Dumpling and newly adopted mini Aussie Penny just spent the week with Tammi. I was so nervous to be traveling so soon after getting Penny from the animal shelter. Tammi impressed us with her kindness and her experience with rescue dogs. She totally put my mind at ease and gave me lots of practical tips on helping Penny to adjust to her new life outside of a puppy mill. Tammi's home is beautiful, and her own dogs provided wonderful, therapeutic play for ours in a HUGE fenced yard. She also graciously accommodated our adding a night to our stay at the last minute. I will be contacting Tammi any time we need to travel. Thank you, Tammi, for all your help and kindness!”
“Dana and Jason were great! I appreciate the photos and communication. My pups seem very happy! I think they miss them now that they are home. First time using rover and I will definitely be booking with Dana and Jason again! Thank you!”

Overall it was a great experience. Thank you!”

She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately.

About: I have had dogs for all 22 years of my life and would love to help take care of yours! I have experience and am more than comfortable taking care of large dogs, puppies, older dogs and every kind in between. I know how important pets are to us and I would love your furry friend like my own! When with your pet I would love to take them on walks, to dog parks, play fetch, or just hang out on the couch. Anything you already do with them to make them (and you) feel most comfortable. I am a flexible college student who is available for drop-ins to walk your dog, can accept last minute bookings, and anything else you may need. Being a flexible college student, I only have classes 2 days a week and am home or in the area 24/7. I love going on long walks and would love for your pet to join. Where I live also has a small dog park if your animal gets along well with others. I love watching TV/movies at home and your pet to be snuggled up with me. I am also always down for a tug of war, fetch, session, or walk!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was young, and I have over six years of hands-on experience. I have owned and worked with breeds ranging from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to Great Danes and Mastiffs, so I am comfortable with both small and large dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, exercise, and provide overnight care for their pets. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. As a full-time student at Murray State University, I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for pet care each day. I am available daily from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM and can accommodate overnight stays on most days with advance notice. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I prioritize reliability, punctuality, and consistency so your pet receives dependable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and house rules. I remain attentive during walks and ensure pets are always securely leashed and supervised. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain a calm, clean environment. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.
“Milo stayed with Laura for the first time and it seems like he had a great time! She was great about sending updates on how Milo was doing and acclimating to his new environment. We know Milo has a safe, comfortable place to stay!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have experience caring for animals of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. I currently have a tortoiseshell cat named Jinx, who is my whole world. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, where I socialized shy animals, fed them and cleaned kennels, and bathed both dogs and cats. I’ll care for your pets with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and am available to provide pet care during evenings and weekends. I’m reliable, flexible outside of work hours, and committed to making sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a two-bedroom apartment with my cat, Jinx, so any pets staying with me will need to be cat-friendly. There are plenty of safe places to walk around my apartment community, and I’d be happy to take dogs on walks or outdoor adventures if they enjoy them. I’m also happy to care for pets in my clients’ homes, where they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine while their families are away.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Locust Grove can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Locust Grove home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Locust Grove.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Locust Grove. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Locust Grove sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
