Dog Walking Foxfire

“Gussie did a wonderful job taking care of Simba, our geriatric Lionhead bunny. She was on time, followed instructions and was excellent in helping us during a stressful time.”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. This beginning with family members or neighbors, and eventually turning into one of my favorite hobbies, voulenteering for local animal shelters. I have experience with large dogs and small dogs, and with my time spent volunteering and also with my families own rescue animals, I believe I am a great fit for any dog. My family has a hard time leaving home to travel due to our rescues being not only very bonded to their owner, but perculiar on who they will spend time with. I hope to provide all families a sense of reassurance when needing any extra help! I graduated College in May '25 and am now in the waiting period of hearing back from Law Schools. My schedule is completely open all hours and all days of the week. Depending on the environment provided, I am confident in my ability to walk a dog of any size or just allow them to play in the comfort of their own backyard. Every dog is different and I am able to adjust however they are needing me to.

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.

“Selena is a champ! Arya doesn’t do a lot of people, but Selena got her on the first meet and on their first walk! We will definitely be using her again!”

“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!”

About: Hi! My name is Nidia 🙂I’m a dependable, caring cat lover who works remotely, so I’m able to give cats plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Regular updates, gentle care, and extra love always come free! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, caring environment for them. Since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide consistent attention, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and it’s rewarding to help pet parents feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. When caring for dogs in their owner’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on your dog’s needs and personality. I also make sure your home stays clean and respected while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I provide calm, dependable care to help them feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

“he is doing a fabulous job with our pitbull Ramona, who is only four months old. He’s gentle with her and sweet and gives her the attention she needs.”

“Jessika was easily the best I’ve found in the app by far. I work long hours and require someone to stop by for a walk and food/water break. She was great with my puppy and even left a little surprise for her. My little girl seemed much less stressed after her visits and it completely removed the stress of worrying about her while working. I would absolutely recommend Jessika!”

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: I’ve grown up taking care of family dogs and cats, and now have two 6 year old cats of my own! Additionally, I’ve volunteered at the RVSPCA with the cats weekly for the past two and a half years. I work Tuesdays through Fridays but am available late evenings every night and all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays to take care of all your pet needs! I like to treat every pet like they are my own, and will always do everything in my power to make sure that they remain safe and feel like they are in a safe environment while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Ranging from fish and turtles to cats and dogs. I will love and care for your fur baby as if it is my own! 💕🐾 I recently graduated from college and will soon work full-time hours during the week. Even with my schedule, I’m dependable, responsive, and able to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. I genuinely enjoy animal care and always aim to keep pets comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have previously worked as a baby sitter so my childcare experience has prepped me for safe and proper conditions within both my clients and my own home

“Michelle has been great! Very professional and great communication. We also love all the pictures and videos!”

About: Hi, I’m Alexa! I have taken care of pets for over half of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, goats, horses, and other farm animals. I also worked at Lynchburg Humane Society; in doing so, I handled pets of many different temperament levels. I am highly confident in my pet care skills. Let me know your pets’ needs and I can make it happen! I am currently in college online, and occasionally have duties for the Army Reserve. Other than those part time responsibilities, I am fairly flexible on time. In my clients home, I am precautionary. I never want a pet to get loose outside. I can be trusted to attend to all of their needs properly, while also enjoying time with them!

“Brendle has been really great to work with. Very responsive and flexible. My pups are well cared for.”

About: I'm an active volunteer with a local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of many ages, sizes, temperaments, I have experience caring for shy, anxious, high-energy, and sensitive dogs, and I'm comfortable with reading canine body language, building trust, and providing calm, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care is part of my regular routine through weekend availability when I'm off work. I plan my schedule around providing attentive, consistent care, including walks, feeding, enrichment and companionship, so each dog receives focused, unhurried attention. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred activities. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, by moving at their pace and reading their body language. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm, attentive interaction, whether that means exercise and playtime or quiet companionship. In a client's home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

About: Hello my name is Ashley and my lifestyle is perfect for your every need! I worked in a vet clinic in High School, and in a pet supply distributor after college at Auburn University. I have always had a way with animals: active, sick, older, etc. I want and can work with them and help them thrive. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years- walking , caring for, and loving other people's pets. With a flexible schedule I work from home and I have my own car. I am happy to bathe and or brush your animals, but cannot use clippers or scissors or do nails. I am looking forward to meeting you, and your pets since I have none of my own it will fill that void. My family and I cant wait to meet you soon. I am always available. We are able to be home all the time with the family and have a flexible schedule. We would like to include your pet into the day while you are away. I have a fenced yard and a house perfect for pets. We are always here as a family to care for any needs. We include them as if they were our own, or our families pets. We haven’t had the time to commit to getting a new pet and we miss having one so much we would rather you leave them with us to love on then have them be alone.

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!

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.

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.
