“My pups loved their stay with Abby and her family! I highly recommend and will definitely use her services in the future! Being able to vacation with the peace of mind that my pups were safe and happy was amazing! Thank you Abby!!”
“We had an amazing experience boarding our dog with Deven and Tyreek from start to finish! They treated Riot just like their own; he was happy, comfortable and loved! Their communication was excellent, especially the frequent updates they sent with pictures and videos to show us how much fun Riot was having. We (Riot included) are grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely book them again in the future!!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover, and Amy and Grant made it such a great experience! They were absolutely amazing with my dog Oscar—super communicative, informative, and clearly very caring. I got regular updates and photos, and it looked like Oscar was having the best time. He came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I could tell they treated him like part of the family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Dylan and Alex were great. They have a lovely home and fenced in yard for the our dog's to play in. They sent us daily check ins and were super responsive. We would definitely use them again!”
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Amanda and Adam sent me pictures of our dog every day and an update on how she was doing. She is a not an easy going dog because she is nervous and has separation anxiety, but they were able to handle her and she liked them, their dogs and their kids. We will be using them again next time we travel!”
“Kendra was amazing with Tinkerbell. She kept us updated each day which put our mind at ease with this being our first time using Rover. The pictures where the best as we could see in real time how well she was being cared for. Thank you Kendra!”
“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“Cameron absolutely loved his stay at Allejah’s home. She stayed in close contact with us and gave Cameron the best possible care. We are so thankful to have found her!”
“Ms Anika and her family was great taking care of Dog I thought it would be an issue but when I reached out to her she responded back and sent a video of my dog having fun I will definitely re-book with her in my next trip”
“Angelica and her husband were great host to Gigi. She kept me updated daily and I could tell that Gigi truly enjoyed her time there. My dog is big, super energetic, and can have bad anxiety. Angelica dedicated time to make sure that Gigi was receiving a lot of attention and had lots of time outside to release energy. I was at ease during my trip knowing Gigi was in good hands!!”
“Beverley is amazing with our fur baby Ember! She gives updates to keep us at ease. Our puppy is comfortable there and warms right up as soon as she arrives. We’re so glad we found a trusted sitter through Rover and couldn’t be more pleased with her services. We will always rebook with her!”
“Lisa was so great with our dog and the weirdo that she is. She sent us regular updates and pictures, and her and my dog were best friends by the end of the stay. We appreciate Lisa so much!”
“Quick and easy drop off. Lily is a rescue, been with us for six months, but opened up quickly to her and her family. (Sorry that she’s a Velcro dog!) Sent daily photos, but frequency could drop—I was admittedly nervous. I appreciate Shay’s patience and accommodations.”
“Aaren & Jordon are truly wonderful puppy sitters! Throughout my pup’s stay with them, I received multiple updates during the day of the fun activities they were getting into. We were put at ease and loved to see our girl so happy while we were apart! We are thankful for them for welcoming our pup into their home with open arms.”
“Ari took such good care of Stella!! I received updates and photos every day. You could tell Stella was having an awesome time. Ari was very accommodating of Stellas needs as an older dog with knee issues. Her home is so dog friendly with plenty of places for Stella to rest and explore. She was also very understanding and flexible with my travel plans. Would 1000% recommend, and Stella will be back here for sure”
“My doggy had an AMAZING just like HOME stay! I felt comfortable receiving photos and updates. Chocolate definitely is in great hands & that means alot to our family. Thank you bunches for sharing love and even giving him some playtime in the snow!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Grove
Amanda is a true pup lover. My dog has anxiety when he leaves home, and usually won't eat or play while I am gone. Amanda's calm disposition and pup friendly home was all it took for him to be comfortable. She had him eating like normal on day one, and living his best pup life with his 2 new best friends. Thank you so much!! Would definitely recommend for anyone whose pup struggles when they leave home!
We recently hired Claire to care for our dog AJ, a 4 year old retriever , while we were away for an entire month. Overall, the experience was excellent, and we felt confident that our boy was in capable hands. From the start, communication was smooth and timely. Claire made sure to ask detailed questions about AJ’s routine, diet, preferences, and quirks, which gave us peace of mind. During the stay, she provided regular updates and photos, showing walks, playtime, and quiet moments — a thoughtful touch we really appreciated. Our dog seemed relaxed and happy upon our return. It was clear Claire took her responsibility seriously and genuinely cared for our pet’s well-being. She was by far our best boarding experience. We would absolutely recommend Claire to other pet owners looking for reliable and attentive care. We’re already planning to rebook for our next trip!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 801 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Locust Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Locust Grove sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Locust Grove landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 VA 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.
