“Katy was a last minute blessing to us for an extended stay. I was very uneasy about needing to leave my Buster in a new place for 3 weeks when my usual sitter became ill, but Katy sent frequent updates and photos that eased my mind. She loved on him and he quickly bonded with her own dog. She has a great set up for dogs with a doggie door to the back yard allowing them to go in and out at will. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be leaving my Buster with her again.”
“My Basil Boi stayed with Christina for 3 days of boarding. She was very understanding and welcoming. Basil is skittish and timid however enjoys other dogs hence I selected Christina because she has her own personal dog. Christina has a fabulous backyard for the dogs to run and play. Christina was very attentive, sent plenty of pictures, texts and updates. Basil had a great time. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have grooming, training, & boarding experience. I’m experienced in administering medications; pills, eye drops, shots, etc. Animals are my peace so I’d love to give a peace of mind to others😊 I’m available full time, there are currently 6 dogs & 2 cats in my house & the pups get outside about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I also have a 3 year old whos with me 3 days out of the week. I have a fenced in yard, all of my pups & my sisters are crated when not supervised. I would prefer crates brought when staying with me just for safety reasons! & if I were to watch your pup in your hone they’d get the same love & care they receive from you😊
“Julia went above and beyond for us after we had two others cancel. She listened to our needs and worries since it was our first time leaving our baby. She left constant updates and sent videos on how his days were going. Our baby was happy and well taken care of. Thank you Julia!!”
“Honey had a great time with Deborah. She was well taken care of and Deborah sent pictures every day. If you need a caregiver for your pet, you can trust Deborah.”
“Bingo had another great experience with Charlene. She is kind and reliable. Her house is definitely a hub for pup activity as she hosts multiple dogs at once. This is perfect for social dogs who enjoy canine and human company alike. She took good care of Bingo and we're grateful for her help.”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful with my Terk. She kept me posted with updates and pictures while I was away. I came home to a happy pup who had a blast with her pup as well. I will definitely be taking Vanessa as a sitter in the future. Not only was she great with Terk but so pleasant to communicate with.”
About: I am a firm believer that life is made better by our furry friends. I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life and thing everyone else should too :) I've taken care of dogs from all different ages, sizes, breeds, and backgrounds (rescue, foster, etc). Family and friends have relied on me in the past to take good care of their dogs while they are away. I also have recently gotten a puppy of my own, and have skills in basic training commands. I am also quite the tug-a-war player and belly scratcher! Most importantly, I will love and care for your pet as if they were my own. I offer dog walking, pet drop-ins and overnight stays. Due to current circumstances, I have plenty of time to play/walk your dogs. Aside from running a few errands during the day and taking my own dog out, I can be very available to fulfill your dogs needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have a fenced yard as well as different sized kennels (large & medium). I can transport the medium kennel if needed! My dog is very friendly.
“Pete (James) & Sofia were great! They watched my yorkipoo for 10+ days and treated him like a family member. The integrated him into their daily routine - he "supervised" work from his favorite cushion, played endless rounds of fetch with his teddy, and went on adventures to Unity Park and the Swamp Rabbit Trail. He even became walking buddies with their cat, Motley, and got to tag along for errands to Lowe's and road trip adventures. Strong communication. Pete sent daily updates with Christmas-card-worthy photos. When my dog ran just a couple of meals short on his specialty kibble, Pete went above and beyond by researching safe, poultry-free grocery store alternatives and picking them up seamlessly. They learned all his little quirks, from his morning routine of waking up for tummy rubs to snuggling under his blanket. I had total peace of mind and cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Chelsea and Fernando! They were incredibly caring, reliable, and conscientious about keeping our dog on her normal routine. They paid close attention to her feeding schedule, walks, and daily habits, helping her feel comfortable and at home while we were away. Communication was also excellent. We received regular updates and photos, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or messages. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our dog and wanted to make sure she was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again!”
“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter. I would recommend her and she also has a privacy fence surrounding her backyard, which put me at ease also.I would definitely ask for her services again!”
“Sonya and Daisy had a great time together, Sonya was able to provide daily updates multiple times a day to ensure that I knew it was going on. She provided adequate meals, outside time, and cuddles for my puppy. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our golden with Fabienne! She is such a sweet individual and obviously has a passion and love for animals. She updated us often with pictures and videos to see how he was doing. He had so much fun! We will definitely book with Fabienne again!”
“Lindsay was incredible! I received so many pics and updates of Max during his stay- it looked like he had a better vacation than I did! He was so well cared for, and we will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Lottie had an amazing time with Casey and James! She loved their family and became buddies with their lab. I received many amazing pictures of their precious friendship. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!!”

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.
94% of sitters in Locust Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill.
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 Hill. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Locust Hill 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 SC 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.
