“Whitney was absolutely wonderful with Bailey! ❤️🐾 She took great care of her and treated her like her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were away. Whitney was caring, dependable, and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! 🐶❤️”

“My dog is very nervous around new people, but CeCe was patient and let him come to her. She provided several updates and many photos during her stay at our house, which made us feel at ease. Our fur baby and house were well cared for, and I would not hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new sitter.”


“Peyton was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed daily of what was going on, as well as sending pictures and videos of my dog. She left the house pristine, emptied the trash, washed the sheets and towels, collected my mail, etc. I was very relaxed on my trip knowing that she was handling things well at home. I couldn’t be more pleased, and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

“Machalah helped us out last minute and gave my fur-babies lots of love and attention, staying overnight with my anxious Aussie for two nights. She went above and beyond! I would definitely book her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am an animal lover, pet mom, and full-time teacher. I am looking for some additional income and would love to help take care of your fur baby while you are away on vacation or at work. While I do not have a lot of experience pet sitting, I have had pets my entire life and am currently a pet mom to my cat, Malachi. I am always the one that my friends/family go to if they need a pet sitter or help with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to spend time with and get to know your wonderful pet. I can't wait to hear from you and get to know your special fur baby/babies! I am currently a full time teacher, meaning I am able to care for your animal early mornings and I am off early afternoon so your pet will not have to wait until evening for care! I also have most common break/vacation times (thanksgiving, Christmas, summer, long weekends) off and have a more flexible schedule during those times. I will care for your pet as if it were my own! I make sure your pet is fed and taken care of, but I would also love to spend time with your pet so they are not lonely while you are away.

About: With years of experience breeding Australian Cattle Dogs and Jack Russell Terriers, I recognize the vital role obedience and communication play. Additionally, I possess considerable expertise in caring for horses, rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I empathize with the challenge of leaving your pet behind when you desire to have fun. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me, and I'll be there promptly. Go ahead and pursue that adventure you've been seeking, knowing your pet's well-being is assured with me! With a strong commitment to my role as a full-time mother and nearly 2 years of experience as an Animal Care Attendant for Roanoke County and animal behavior, I will be availablein the evenings and on weekends. If you are interested in scheduling an appointment, please contact me at your convenience. I prioritize the safety and happiness of your animals, guaranteeing they will receive the same high standard of care as my own. My residence includes a play pen, a yard, and multiple dog beds, providing ample space for relaxation. Furthermore, they are welcome to use the couch if they so desire.
About: You can trust your pup with me! My love for dogs and animals started when I was a child and has grown into a deep bond and genuine care for every dog I meet. I truly go above and beyond when it comes to pet care — and in my book, a little spoiling is always included. ;) I’ve had decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs since 2004, from training my first Mini Schnauzer, Ally, as a puppy to providing specialized senior care as she got older. In 2009, my husband and I rescued our first senior Schnauzer, Smokey, and cared for him through several medical issues including seizures, gastroenteritis, and inner ear infections. I’m extremely attentive to a dog’s needs, personality, comfort, and safety, and I always stay alert to make sure they’re happy, secure, and out of trouble. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I would care for your dog like one of my own. *Please note: I can only accommodate dogs up to 15 lbs. Requests above this size will be declined. Please do not request bookings for larger dogs. I’m a stay-at-home pet parent, which allows me to give my full attention and care to both my own dog and the pets staying with me. At our home, pets are treated like family and will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, but dogs will always be supervised while outside. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, routines, and needs to help them feel safe and relaxed while away from home. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness, especially for senior dogs or pets with special needs.
About: I have three fur babies, golden retriever x2, and a blue heeler mix. Having animals is such pure joy. The dogs run the home, I just live here! Dog hair and slobbery kisses … I wouldn’t want it any different. My fur babies are happy and very generous to other animals. We have fun here. So bring your dog over, let them jump on the couch, and play with my pups! I work part time, but have a very flexible schedule. I have two boys at home that would give your pups all the love they need. I have a small fenced in yard for your pups. We enjoy talking walks, and playing fetch. My fur babies are the sweetest things and will get along with your pups!

About: I’ve always been a passionate animal lover. I share my home with both a dog and a cat, and while my pup has made it clear he’s happiest as an only dog, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with even more wonderful animals. As a conservationist and vegetarian, caring for animals is something that’s deeply important to me. I’ve helped care for friends’ pets and homes for years, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy keeping pets in their familiar routines and surroundings, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and snuggles. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me additional flexibility during those days. Tuesday through Thursday, I work in the office from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. If you’re located near the downtown Roanoke area, I may be able to stop by during my lunch break when needed. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household routines. As someone who shares my home with both a dog and a cat, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for friends’ pets and homes and treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
“Tiolla was so great! Was available last minute and send me pictures through the whole visit. Any request I had she followed & made sure to give all of the love to my pups. Highly recommend & will definitely be booking with her again 😊”

About: I’ve had my own pets and have been pet sitting since for about 10 years now on and off. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, and provide medicine to their pets. I have also fostered over 25 cats. I have a full time job during the week but am available at night, the weekends, or quick mid day visits if needed. I am very flexible. While I do not watch pets in my own home, I have stayed at other’s homes numerous times to provide all thing for their pet and home.
About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, i’m an animal lover as they say. We have had 3 dogs growing up: 2 boxers and a great dane; and now i have 2 spoiled rotten golden retrievers and a great dane who passed away in March of 2026. I have excellent experience in animal care. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care in any way possible for their animals. I work from home and my job is INSANELY flexible. I come and go as i please for work; and make my own schedule/hours. So attending to your pet all day is no issue what so ever. I am a die hard animal lover, so I would care for your pet the way I care for mine. I have experience in giving oral meds by hand, and adding meds onto food etc. I have a picky eater, so if you have a picky eater and need someone who can manage, i am your girl! I would rather hand feed your dog than them just not eat due to stress/anxiety. I am a picture guru, so you will receive pics even if you don’t ask for them. I only ask that you are honest with me when it comes to the needs your pet has and the needs you as an individual expect. I have been in the customer service industry for a very very long time; and communication is key, ALWAYS. Now that i’ve written a novel, i am easy to get ahold of with any questions, comments, or concerns! I look forward to caring for your critters! I work from home full time and have a very large fenced in backyard at my house! I am able to let your dog out as much or as little as you’d like! I sit at home all day and work with my 2 goldens so they are spoiled plum rotten! I am able to care for your pets by providing multiple updates throughout your pets stay, as well as plenty of pictures. I am able to follow specific guidelines given to me by clients to ensure their pet has a safe stay at my home
“As always, Janet took great care of our pups and made sure they were at ease while we were away. Our dogs are anxious but there was no evidence of it when we returned because they were happy and comfortable with her.”

About: 10+ years in kennel and veterinary medicine. Can take on walks & play to get the mid day zoomies out! Can administer medications as well. I am available all day on Mondays. This gives more time for long walks, feeding, medicating if needed and getting all of the zoomies out! I can pick up pets and take them to parks they are familiar with. We can take longs walks around the neighborhood. Whatever works best for the pet!
“Couldn’t be more thrilled with James! We have been so worried about leaving our anxious German shepherd with anyone and have avoided trips for years because of it. James walked in the door and it was the strangest thing… he did some initial barking but then laid down at his feet like old friends. We arrived home to a happy dog and a clean house! Never would have known we had someone staying in our home while we were gone! James played fetch with our dog SO much. I think our pup was in heaven. Hire James if you want a happy dog and a happy vacation :) so grateful!”

Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic as our dog sitter and house sitter for 4 nights. From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to communicate with and responded instantly , which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of our dog and our home, and it was clear that she genuinely cared and paid attention to every detail. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup, and everything in perfect shape. We are so thankful for Gabrielle’s help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We would absolutely book with her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Botetourt East walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Botetourt East maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Botetourt East choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
