“Abby was accommodating for a meet and greet, which I greatly appreciated; Oliver gets scared when I drop her off to stay with a stranger. Abby provided daily pictures and updates on how Oliver was doing and she came back very happy. I would use Abby again to pet sit.”
“This is our second time having Kendra watch Teddy. He has such a great time when he is in her care and she always makes sure to keep us updated throughout his stay. I love to see him hanging out with her pup Gizmo. They’re such good buddies. Kendra is the best. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Frank had such a great time with Amanda! She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. Frank clearly loved his time with her and, honestly, didn’t want to leave when it was time to come home! Amanda took great care of him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”
“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!”
“Lisa is amazing and took great care of my boy, Henry! She provided updates and photos while dog sitting and has a nice home with fully fenced backyard to accommodate any dog. Henry enjoyed his stay and we'll definitely look to work with her again for dog sitting needs.”
“Ari provided wonderful care at her home for our two good sized dogs aged 12 months and 4 1/2 years. They are back home happy and well-adjusted. Thank you Ari for all the love you and your family gave our dogs!”
“Christine and Nick were amazing! They took such great care of our Frenchie for a week while we were out of the country. They sent daily pictures with updates. Took her on walks and she played with their two dogs. Their dogs were GREAT with her and well trained. I highly recommend them!! Thank you so much!!!”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would do so!! I recently moved to Virginia and needed to board my beagle for an out of town trip. I was very anxious because I haven’t connected with a place that I felt comfortable leaving him. Roxana put my fears to rest immediately. The frequent updates, photos and videos of my pup having the time of his life eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will 100% book with Roxana again.”
“Deven and Tyreek provided excellent care for our dog while we were away and sent photos of her every other day. We really appreciated the piece of mind they provided so that we could enjoy ourselves!”
“Beverly was AMAZING. Kept in contact with me every step of the way, sent me the greatest photo updates, taught my puppy some new lessons, took incredible care of him, even washed my dishes she returned that my puppy had used while staying with her. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will absolutely be using her every time I go out of town. Her house was an incredible set up for dogs, especially the backyard. My puppy had the best time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you, Beverly!!!”
“Ellysia is so kind and warm. She takes such good care of Harley and Harley came home so happy! She’s also very communicative and sent a bunch of goofy photos of Harley! Will definitely book with Ellysia again!”
“If I could give 100 stars I would for the exceptional care Sarah gave to my baby I would. Not only did she care for Penny as if she was her own, this was the first time Penny has been left with anyone other than family, and Sarah made Penny feel as though she was family. I would recommend Sarah to service your pet without hesitation only when I wouldn't need her again, period!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased with Melissa and the love her family gave my sweet little Louie. We booked an overnight boarding for 3 nights and her service and communication were next to none. I greatly appreciate her daily photo updates, as it secured not only myself but the fact my kids were just as pleased to know that their fur brother was in great hands . I’d definitely be willing to book her again and recommend her services to anyone looking for a compassionate caregiver!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Grove
Allejah really is a five star sitter! Communication and knowledge of doggie behaviors, attention to detail, flexibility, and LOVE are all top tier. This was my first boarding experience and I have a senior dog so I was on pins and needles going in- my anxiety was eliminated after meeting Allejah and receiving my first round of doggie mail. My old pup was just as comfortable and cantankerous with her as he is with us:-). I appreciated that she made my Velcro dog feel comfortable enough to relax, rest, and cuddle. As an anxious pet parent- I was comfortable enough to enjoy my travels. I would 100% recommend her and I’d love to have her puppy sit again when the need arises.
Amanda was amazing. Couldn’t ask for better person to leave our little Scarlet with. Scarlet didn’t want to eat so Amanda shared her dinner with her. Scarlet got lonely at night so Amanda slept beside her on the couch. She treated Scarlet like part of the family. Will definitely use her every time we get away.
Of course! Here it is with Tracey spelled correctly: Writing Miss Tracey was absolutely wonderful with my Milo! 🐾❤️ She did such a fabulous job taking care of him over the weekend, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, considerate, and attentive, and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She always goes above and beyond to make sure Milo is happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and that means the world to me. I have complete peace of mind whenever he’s with her, which is priceless! I absolutely adore Miss Tracey, and she is without a doubt my go-to sitter for Milo. We are so lucky to have her! Thank you, Tracey, for always taking such amazing care of my boy. We appreciate you more than you know! 🐶💕
Charlotte is the absolute best, and my puhpeh girl Winter loves her stays. She's super understanding and flexible if able. My girl always comes home ready to nap so I know she was well taken care of and probably a little spoiled. Communication is always great/consistent and I get some cute pictures while I'm away. Your fur kid(s) will be in great hands here.
If I could give Amy and Grant more than five stars, I would! Leaving your dogs with someone else is never easy, but from the moment we met them, they made us feel welcome and at ease. They took the time to show us both the inside of their home and their yard, which was very important to us, and it was immediately obvious how organized and prepared they are. They asked thoughtful questions about Charlie and Roscoe's personalities, routines, feeding schedules, medications, supplements, allergies, and habits so they could care for them exactly the way we do. Amy and Grant took the time to understand each of their individual needs, and it was obvious from the beginning that they truly wanted to provide the same level of care our dogs receive at home. We had a last-minute schedule change that was completely my fault, and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating without making me feel like it was an inconvenience. Throughout their seven-day stay, they sent multiple updates every day with photos and videos that made us smile and reassured us that our boys were happy, safe, and loved. It was especially sweet to see their children spending time with Charlie and Roscoe and treating them like members of the family. The thing that impressed me most was the incredible attention to detail. They sent home a spreadsheet documenting everything—from feedings, medications, and supplements to personalities, allergies, and routines. Because we have a very specific way of caring for our dogs, that level of organization meant the world to us. Amy and Grant cared for Charlie and Roscoe as if they were their own, and that's something you simply can't put a price on. We are so grateful for everything they did, and I would trust them with our dogs again in a heartbeat. I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for caring, dependable, organized, and genuinely wonderful Rover sitters.
Siobhan was great! She kept me posted about Shade and sent pictures. I liked she had other dogs for Shade to interact with. A plus is Siobhan’s location is very convenient to where I live. This is the third time I requested her services, however was only fortunate to book twice. Very pleased and would recommend!

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.
94% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
