“Krista did a great job taking care of Toby! I appreciated the daily pictures and updates to ensure he was doing well. She treated him like one of her own, he even helped her work from home! We are really grateful for Krista and her family. Toby had a great experience in their home.”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing with my dog, Zues! I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care while I was away. She took great care of him and sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Zues and treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch him. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“Amy and Patrick were so sweet and awesome to my 8-week old puppy, Lila, while I was away. They took excellent care of her. Amy and Patrick are friendly, responsible, and pet-loving good people. I highly recommend them for pet sitting, walking your dog, etc. I will certainly use their services again!”

“Deb was terrific, her home was wonderful wirh a nice large yard set far back off the road. She was very accomodating considering our last minute request for an overnight stay for our pup Dyson. He came home pretty happy!”
“Ashley, Kyle and family welcomed Teddy and us and made all of us feel comfortable. Teddy noticed us leaving but didn't fuss much as he had a couple of children to play with. It was only a two night booking, but we were happy to receive a pic of him enjoying himself on Saturday. Pickup went smooth. Teddy and all his belongings were packed and waiting for us. Ashley gave a little report of his stay, encluding his eating and potty breaks. If we are back in the Lancaster area again, we'll be looking for Ashley & Kyle on Rover. I'm sure Teddy would be happy too. Thank you!”
“JoLi was absolutely amazing!! She treated our fur baby like she was her own. She kept in close contact with us during the entire time and sent photos. Our baby came home and slept all evening from all the fun she had at JoLi’s. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Megan and Vincent were amazing with our girls! We got plenty of photo and video updates throughout the entire time we were gone and were always super quick to respond. This was the first time leaving all three of them for longer than just a few days and with someone who wasn’t a family member and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable than I did with Megan and Vincent.”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“First time with Billie. My dog got settled with her very quickly. Kept in touch with pics and comments. Very happy that I choose her for my dog. Very satisfied. I will certainly leave my dog in her care whenever needed. Best of all, she is fantastic person. Thanks Billie.”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life and view them as part of our family. For my entire life, I've had at least one dog in my home and truly could not imagine it any other way. You can be confident that when your dog is with us they will be cared for compassionately and given lots of love and attention. We truly feel our home is the dream destination for your dog - we have a big fenced in yard for them to safely play and sunbathe. We work from home so can give lots of attention and care throughout the day. We also have two dogs in our family that are the most laid back and relaxed dogs I've ever met. If your dog likes to play, they will play and if your dog likes to relax and sleep or doesn't want much interaction, they go off into their own areas to sleep. I work from home so have the ability to be present with your dogs throughout the day to make sure they are given attention and affection they need! We can easily go outside (we have a fenced in yard) for potty breaks and play at multiple points throughout the day and in the evenings we are home and enjoy being outside. We want your dog to feel at home with us! We have a fenced in yard so they can safely play outside and get exercise as needed. Our two dogs get along with all other dogs they've met - they will play sporadically throughout the day but love to lay in the sun, look out the windows and front door and be close to us while we work from home. We're confident that your dog will feel right at home with us.
“Tania and her family took amazing care of our Mac! We didn’t worry once during our time away, as we knew he was in great hands. Tania is a great communicator, and sent us many pictures of our baby throughout the weekend. When we got there to pick him up, he was in no rush to leave. What a great feeling!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away. I am comfortable following crate training routines, feeding schedules, walking and potty schedules, medication instructions, and any other specific instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!
About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I’ve regularly looked after my relatives’ dogs, including a Bulldog and a hound breed. I live in a spacious single-family home with plenty of indoor space where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I always strive to make them feel relaxed and at home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I’m available for boarding and pet care Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, providing regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I always follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. I live in a spacious single-family home with plenty of room for pets to relax and play indoors. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and carefully supervise pets during their stay. Although my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always kept safely on a leash. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide regular updates with photos, and treat them like part of my family.

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.
97% 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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 PA 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.
