About: When you're away, your pets deserve more than a quick visit—they deserve knowledgeable, compassionate care from someone who understands their health, comfort, and unique personalities. My journey in animal care began long before I became a registered nurse. I worked as a kennel manager and completed most of a veterinary technician program before a family illness led me to pursue "human" nursing. That unique combination of veterinary training and healthcare experience allows me to provide attentive, responsible care for your beloved pets. What Sets Me Apart: - Former Kennel Manager with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments - Extensive experience with cats, including shy, senior, and special-needs pets - Registered Nurse accustomed to careful observation, medication management, and responding calmly to unexpected situations - Formal Veterinary Technician Training with education in animal health, behavior, and basic medical care - Experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, and other small pets Services Available Dog sitting Cat sitting Daily visits and companionship Walks and exercise Feeding and medication administration Puppy and senior pet care Vacation and weekend coverage Photo and text updates for pet parents I understand that pets are family. My goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you confidence and peace of mind. Professional. Experienced. Compassionate. Contact me to schedule a meet-and-greet and learn how I can help care for your furry family members. I am currently semi-retired, so I have flexibility in my schedule to hopefully meet your needs. I like to try to keep pets in their regular routine while their owners are away, so I will do my best to work with you on that. Although we have space to care for your pets in our home/land, we don't have a fenced in property and I wouldn't want to stress my own pets with "strangers" in the house. (I also feel that keeping a pet in their home environment is much less stressful for them than relocating them.) I'd be happy to come to your home to and provide quality care to your four-legged (or less) family members. I have owned my own home my entire adult life, so I will honor yours as if it were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and watched my neighbors dog, making sure they are well fed, get enough time outside and feel loved while their families are away! I’m currently doing odd jobs over the summer and because of this, I am able to spend a lot of time with your pets! I will be out of the house periodically but will not be out longer than 3-4 hours at a time. I keep a clean and pet-friendly environment at home with plenty of space to relax and a backyard to run around and enjoy time outside. My family will also love spending time with your pet and giving them lots of attention!

About: Homemade treats and lots of love and fun! We enjoy playing at home, going for long walks, playing at the dog park, riding with the windows down, belly rubs, kisses and cuddles. I don’t mind taking to the vet or pet stores to be of more help to you. Enjoy light grooming and brushing with your approval. No matter the size, they are all puppies or kitties to me lol. I even have jumps and hoops for the active pups who like to jump and have a good time. I can give meds and special diets when needed. I have many referrals.i have two daughters who both work for rover as well. We would love to spend time with your babies and give them love and attention I am a stay at home mom that works one day a week i am free to love and care for your babies while you are away. I am willing to crate when you ask me to but prefer time out of crate to spend with your babies. Nothing like playing ball or cuddling. Whatever your pet need, I’m available.

“Patrick went above and beyond to give our dog great care while we were away. We will definitely be requesting Patrick again!”

About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.

“Zoe was great! She was always on-schedule and was very patient with my weird little girl. She does things like hiding when it's time to go out and then pulling a LOT once you finally get her out. But Zoe never complained and always hung around with the baby for a few minutes of love and play after the walk. My schedule has changed and no longer need a dog-walker, but if I ever need one again, will definitely look for her!”

“Laiken has truly been wonderful for my dog and I. He is a puppy, and trying to learn a routine and schedule and she has gone above and beyond to help me. I work night shift and she helps make it work for me. I truly have found i can trust her in my home and with my dog. She updates me with everything she does with him. I will be continuing to have her hang out with my dog as long as she will be available to. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs for 15+ years, along with a variety of exotic animals including birds, snakes, rats, fish and many more. I have been walking and feeding and watching dogs, cats, horses and farm animals for 10 years. I love animals, I always have and while I work full time, I self schedule and can be flexible. I don’t typically travel for holidays so I am around locally on most holidays, and can fit your beloved pet into my schedule so you can feel at ease while you are away from them. I can do whatever you need me to do in your house. I have lots of experience with puppies and elderly dogs (and those in between), cats and kittens, and lots of exotic animals. I am good at following directions and can accommodate whatever you need in your space. I also have lots of experience tiring out super energetic pups on long hikes or walks if you need! I love the outdoors and having dogs with me just makes it better! I look forward to meeting you and your precious pets! I work Monday-Wednesdays in Roanoke and my weekends are variable- I try to keep my calendar up to date. If I have events on the weekends (I’m a musician) they are typically local, and I will block out my calendar for tours. I have flexible scheduling during the day in Roanoke, and can work around your schedule even if you’re not in Roanoke. My work is accommodating and partially work from home. I like to provide my clients with updates on their pets while they are away with pictures and descriptions of anything out of the ordinary they may need to know about, and also just cute shenanigans your critters are up to each day. If you have any questions always feel free to message me with specifics and I will do my best to accommodate. Whether I am spending the night, or stopping by your home, I will treat your space and pets with respect and do my very best to communicate openly with you!

About: Hi, I'm Ellie! I'm a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and even exotic pets like lizards and axolotls. I adore animals and understand their unique personalities and needs—whether your companion is playful, shy, or energetic, I'll ensure they're happy and well cared for while you're away. I know how important peace of mind is when you're away, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you connected with your furry - or scaly - friend. I will also maintain any home-related needs while you're away. All mail and packages will be brought in daily, trash/recycling bins will be on the curb on pickup day, and dust/fur will be vacuumed regularly. I will thoroughly clean your kitchen and bathrooms before I leave, and I will launder any bedding/towels I use so there will be no clean-up on your arrival home. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently working a part time research job at FBRI in downtown Roanoke, so I have plenty of flexibility with my schedule. When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking, gardening, all things tea, and exploring the beautiful state of VA with my husband. I currently offer services at my client's homes. From house-sitting to drop-ins, I cater to specific needs and requests for each individual and their companions.

“Hannah walked my boy every day for 9 days when I was out of town. They walked for an hour every day and it was great! He really enjoys his long walks and Hannah made sure he had a great time. She is reliable and sent me great notes and pics every day.”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! I'm here for all of your animal care needs! A little bit about me... I'm a mother to a 10 year old little boy, 1.5 year old French bulldog, 5 year old pug, 2 year old hound mix, 1 year old boxer, 3 kitty cats and a ball python. I have had chickens, ducks, and a couple of goats in the past and am comfortable with just about any critter. I am currently employed part time at a Veterinary clinic in Salem. I have also worked 5+ years at a boarding/grooming facility for dogs and cats. I am comfortable giving medications and bathing if needed. I've always loved any opportunity to work with animals and pet sitting and dog walking are a great opportunity for me to have a flexible schedule for my son and still make a living doing what I love. Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm usually able to accommodate whatever your needs may be. Please feel free to reach out. They need to be dog, cat and kid friendly to board in my home as I have 4 dogs and 3 cats in my home currently...otherwise we will come to you for service :)

“Great with our 3 small breed dogs, one is an anxious one that she worked with prior to scheduled dog walks. All is going well, now. We are happy to have found her :)”

“We've had an excellent experience with Ashlynn as our dog walker! She consistently let's us know when she's on her way, keeps us updated with pictures, and gives feedback on how the dogs did during their walk. Her communication is top-notch, and our dogs love her. We highly recommend Ashlynn to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

Patrick F.

About: I have grown up with dogs in my home my entire life, big and small, so I am very comfortable bathing, walking, and cleaning up after them! When in college, I dog and cat sat for roommates as well as friends, giving me ample experience with both kinds of animals and their specific needs. I also fostered a very reactive Hound/Saint Bernard mix for about 6 months, which gave me a great experience working with animals that are not as easy to assist. That being said, I loved it and him all the same. Since graduating, I have continued watching many different pets throughout the years. I am freelance writing and in the process of starting a business at this time, therefore, my availability is quite flexible. Whether you’re in need of a long term sitter or temporary services, I am available for either. I am not currently able to accept pets in my home, however, I have now stayed in numerous client spaces. I like to leave the space just as it was when I arrive, if not better, and always ask for a list of rules/restrictions if there ever is any!

“Reliable annd easy to work with!”

About: As a devoted & experienced SAHM, I have proudly cared for a variety of animals for over 15 years. Dogs, cats, rabbits - you name it! Families entrust their furry companions to my care, often rebooking my services due to their satisfaction & peace of mind. From feeding and exercise to cozy snuggles and playtime, I will create a joyful, nurturing environment where your pets thrive & your family feels confident in my care. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my routines because my schedule is flexible. I ensure all of your pets needs are met with consistency & love. My home will provide a welcoming environment for pets to feel comfortable and safe. They will be able to safely roam the house (unless otherwise stated), get on the furniture, and will be able to adjust calmly. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, or pet daycare, my services suit the specific needs of each pet and client. For dog walking, I take pups on enjoyable strolls in the neighborhood or nearby parks, providing them with exercise and fresh air. If house sitting is required, I ensure the pets receive round-the-clock care, maintaining their routines, and offering companionship in the comfort of their own home. In the case of pet daycare, I create an engaging atmosphere filled with toys, interactive play, and socialization opportunities, allowing pets to have a fun-filled day while their owners are away. Regardless of the service provided, I prioritize safety, hygiene, and regular communication with pet owners, ensuring they are informed and at ease throughout the entire process.
