About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, and even foster pets who stayed with us until they found their forever homes. This lifelong experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra care and gentleness.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I pay close attention to their needs and routines.

“Jessica has been a wonderful caretaker & companion to our sweet, old dogs. I would definitely recommend her to my family, friends, & co-workers for their pet care needs. Jessica was so nice to meet us prior to booking her services & sent pictures of her visit, as well as bring our sweet boys a treat or two. Our dogs usually have terrible separation anxiety & stop eating, yet with Jessica's help they didn't miss a meal, a belly rub, a treat, or a walk. Thank you so much Jessica for taking such good care of our furry family members! We appreciate you.”

About: I have been raising and caring for a variety of animals for over 25 years! Having experience with all kinds of animals, I know the importance of meeting the needs of each animal and giving it the love and care it deserves and desires. I have several families that reach out to me when they are planning a trip so that I can care for their pets while they are away. I understand the importance of maintaining the pet owners routine, commands, and affection with their pets to help reduce anxiety and stress while they are away. My goal is to love their pets as if they are my own. I have cared for our own dogs as seniors and have experience with failing body functions and know how to administer medications and assist the animal with getting up and moving around. I also have much experience with puppies since I breed Australian Shepherds and care for the puppies from the time they are born until they are at an appropriate age and health standard to go to their new families. I am so excited to meet many other pet families in our area and live on your pet so you can feel comfortable and at peace any time you need to travel and your pet has to stay behind. It’s hard enough to say good-bye, so having peace of mind on how they will be cared for while you are away can make a good trip a GREAT one!! I am available most days of the week for 24/7 care since we are a homeschooling family and I am a stay at home mom. Pets are allowed in our home as long as they get along well with other pets and children. I do have an unground fence and collars that I can use to teach your pet to stay in our yard. I also have two nice size kennels that give dogs plenty of room to wander inside and outside the kennel walls.

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 am able to seamlessly incorporate pet care into my daily/weekly routines because my schedule is often flexible. I ensure all of your pets needs are met with consistency & love. I prioritize their well-being alongside my family responsibilities. In my home, I provide a warm and welcoming environment for pets to feel comfortable and cherished. I designate safe areas for play and relaxation, ensuring they have ample space to roam and explore. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, or pet daycare, I tailor my services to 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.

About: From an early age, I've taken care of animals small-to-large, parrots-to-malamutes and I believe they're all special, giving us an endless quality of life 💓. Making time for ani-fam is never an inconvenience because it is a practice of fulfilling a pet's needs. ☺️ It also helps to fulfill my self-care/ spiritual health needs by nurturing another living being. I find I function best when I care for an animal as it keeps me on task, on schedule, and mentally happy, too! Our two family cats are fed early in the am/pm, plenty of (consensual) belly rubs, a daily lil' treat, playtime and plenty of nap time as well as personal space, as they see fit. We also share the past-time of birdwatching in the countryside. ✨ When it comes to your pet and your home, I am dedicated to respecting your pet's dietary restrictions, physical "play" needs, and always approaching with love and respect, as I will be the guest in their/your home. Between a strict regimen or low-maintenance regimen for your animal, I would require meeting with you/them in your space beforehand to make sure I get a thorough briefing. I also believe this helps with introductory bonding, showing I am a safe person to trust, and not cause unwanted stress on your pet.

Caring for pets, whether they’re my own or someone else’s takes attention, routine, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality. Pets like people like consistency. I ensure I understand their regular feeding times, exercise habits. Understanding each animals play habits helps keep them entertained and happy. Documenting medical concerns and medication needed to ensure properly given, and monitor for any signs of illness. Pets, especially those away from their owners, can experience anxiety, some more than others! I engage with them to provide companionship such as playtime & cuddles! I keep an eye on body language and behavior to ensure they are comfortable. I keep open communication, providing updates and reporting any concerns. Trust is vital, and being responsive to a client’s pet care preferences or concerns is important. Ensure I have vet and contact information in the event of an emergency.

About: My childhood was filled of all kinds of pets and pups. My whole life I've always had at least 3 fury babies in my life. I was intrigued by how intelligent our pets are so I began to work with them. I'm very good with all kinds of training from pups, teens, to our grandparent's. I've trained dogs for a couple of friends as well as my grandma's farm dogs ( Great Pyrenees). Today I have four babies and they are all well trained. I have four large dogs that I take care of everyday. Once a day I take my dogs to the park for walks. we go on, hikes, swims, and we go to pet friendly areas for people connections. I would love to bring your loved one along with me. I have a perimeter collar for my hound dog and leashes with harnesses for my other three. I am very alert around my dogs . They are just like children you have to keep a close eye one them. My dogs are also inside dogs. I would treat ur dog like one of my own. Your baby is safe in my care.

About: My name is Lakita. I initially went to college in for marine biology and zoology before I changed my love of animals into a live in hobby. My children and I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, a hedgehog, fish, and soon a bearded dragon. I've had animals of my own since I was in elementary school of all kinds. I started house sitting and walking pets for my own parents and their friends in 11th grade and have continued if needed over the years. I have never had any difficulties or emergency during those times. Typically I work from home each week and occasionally leave on the weekends for sports activities. My after work activities are normal local or in Roanoke. I can easily crate a pet within my home away from the friendly animals in my home. I'm about to go to a home and provide any animals walks/breaks as needed and feed them.

About: I started off as a freshman in high school, cat sitting for a family friend every vacation where I cleaned the litter box, tidied up any messes, and fed. Now, I have worked at an animal shelter for almost two years (mainly with dogs). During this job I have gained extensive knowledge on dog behaviors, body language, and positive reinforcement training. Now I work at the Planned Pethood Clinic as a vet assistant. I can orally or topically medicate your furry friends if needed, even your difficult pets! The days i’m available are Tuesdays and Fridays. Feel free to contact me anytime those days and I will plan my schedule around you, as it’s my “free days”! I can work you in if it’s an emergency on Saturdays, but I try to reserve that day. Communicate any special needs or concerns with me and I will make sure to follow them. I want to keep your dogs routine as normal as possible. I will bring my own training treats for if I need them, so PLEASE let me know if your dog has allergies. (treats will always have a short ingredient list and be healthy)

About: I work at a shelter so I’m experienced with all sorts of animals, breeds, and temperaments. I’m also experienced with giving meds if needed. I will always send you pictures of your baby’s! And I love to spoil them, only if you are fine with it! I do work of course. I do also have my own animals and I have a little one. But normally I can figure something out to help you out! I have a fenced in area to let them run around in. I can crate your animal if need be. I do have other cats and dogs to socialize your animal. If at owners home ; whatever they feel most comfortable with!

About: I am highly active, with a background in high-level sports. I workout weekly at a local gym, stay on my feet all day at work, and have a high energy dog myself. Every thing I do from sun up to sun down is focused on health and the growth of those around me. If there's an opportunity to train an animal, I tend to seize that moment. The more our pets understand us, the easier it is to live with them. My dog is a well-fed, exercised, played with PitBull/Boxer, if I neglect him, I lose my friend. I am currently a Full Time Manager at a Retail Store and I look forward to my free time outside of the job. I only work 8 hours a day (alternating between, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift), allowing me to offer my pet services early mornings, mid-day, or late nights (time slots may vary). I will take in account of all enviorments, dangers, and inconveniences while with your pet. We will avoid any problematic situations, respect all forecasted weather, and move as far from traffic as we can.
