About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’ve also had my own dog for 6 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday, which makes me fully available on weekends for pet care. I can provide walks and drop-in visits on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with flexible timing. I make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the weekend so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner to ensure consistency and comfort. I supervise pets at all times during visits and outdoor time, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being.
About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and affectionate to shy or recently rescued. I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, including both cats and dogs. I also have hands on experience helping stray and rescue cats adjust to indoor environments. In addition, I’m comfortable handling small animals and have experience owning and caring for ferrets. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I currently just graduated high school at York County School of Technology while enrolled in the Licensed Cosmetology program! I obtained my cosmetology license in December of 2025. I’m currently waiting to begin my journey in the esthetics side of the cosmetology industry! I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, as well as mid afternoon and nights. I personally prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress free environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can keep their environment consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive to details such as securing doors, safe feeding practices, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I’m also respectful of client homes and follow all instructions carefully to ensure both pets and property are well cared for. For more anxious or shy animals, I focus on patience and gentleness to build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

About: I've personally worked with a professional dog trainer, a doggy day care, and a pet store, so I have various knowledge when it comes to how to interact, play, treat, walk, watch, and love your dogs. I also have personal experience with seniors, puppies, special needs and x-large large dogs. I also have much understanding and experience with cats and kittens as well I'm currently Part-Time, which means I will have more time to watch over and love on your babies. Weekends and holidays are no problem either. I believe (and have experienced it with my own pets) that pets are more comfortable in their own home, and that's why I offer to come and house/pet sit in the safe haven that is your house. Your pet will get treated, and spoiled, as if they were my own
“I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Billie! She is consistently punctual, incredibly kind, and communicates well. I always know what’s going on thanks to her thoughtful updates, and she’s great about letting me know of any scheduling changes well in advance — usually at least a week ahead, which I really appreciate. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in caring, reliable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with pets!”
About: Hi! I'm back :) I grew up with two dogs of my own. Through this app, my experience has expanded to cats, birds, bunnies, pigs, chickens, hermit crabs, and hamsters! I love learning and am always open to working with a pet I have not worked with before! Skilled in administrating oral medication and injections. I am comfortable with larger dogs as long as they have a calmer demeanor and don't jump excessively. I prefer not to share my sleeping space with your pets. Baths (so long as your pet is mostly cooperative.) I try and make it a positive experience for them! I work part time, so I have time to help with with your pets. Tell me about your schedule needs. I'm happy to adjust! I'll be at your home for petsitting full-time or part-time - whatever you prefer. Rest assured, your home will remain exactly as you left it. I deeply appreciate the importance of returning to a space where everything feels just right. I'm happy to share photos along the way so that you may feel connected and informed throughout your pet's time with me.

About: I bring over 30 years of personal and professional experience working with and loving animals.

I love all animals especially seniors and I am comfortable with all size dogs. In fact, I have one pit bull and a turtle. I have fostered 4 pitties. Growing up, I lived on a small farmette and we had lots of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, a horse and an iguana.

Christy has been an incredible walker for my dog. She is responsive, sends numerous updates during the walk and is incredibly trusting. She even brought her two kids over to play with my dog and made his day! She is someone I will continue to book for drop ins and dog walks because she goes above and beyond to make sure my fur baby is cared for. Allen loves her! Thank you Christy!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Locust Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Locust Grove. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
