“Machalah has been a consistent overnight sitter for my pup for several months! He loves spending time with her and I love the peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. She is communicative, sends photos, and has been comfortable talking through his health needs - including giving medications! We look forward to continuing to have Machalah as a pet sitter!”


“Nicole did a fantastic job of watching the pets while I was gone! She sent plenty of pictures, which was reassuring. She even kept my plants watered, which was a huge help. I’d highly recommend!”


“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”


“Will is awesome! He stayed with our pup for a few days at our home while we were traveling. She had some anxiety with us gone and Will did such a great job getting her to calm down and making sure she felt all the love. Will made her very comfortable and did a wonderful job- even helping us by tossing some linens in the wash so they were clean for us. We really appreciate Will and will use him again in the future!”


“Trina did amazing!! She kept us updated with any concerns and/or questions she had along with sending us pictures, which we appreciated! It was super late when we got home, so didn’t get to see her but Max was sound asleep, which makes us know that he was very comfortable! We will definitely be reaching out to Trina again!! We know Max likes to bark, so hopefully if she’s available, she’ll watch him again!! 😀”


“Skylynn (aka Ashton!) was fantastic watching my two large dogs. We have a Doberman and a Dalmatian who are pretty high energy and they were absolutely exhausted when we got back from our weekend trip. They were clearly well taken care of and the house was tidy when we returned. The updates and communication throughout the weekend was spectacular and put our minds to rest about the care my pups were receiving. Highly recommend and will be reaching out in the future again!”


“Jade took such good care of George and Ginger for us. The pictures Jade sent us of both puppies were very thoughtful and heart warming. She communicated any questions very well and let us know when she arrived and left. We will definitely be asking Jade to watch our fur babies again.”


About: I've taken care of pets for my friends before, with a wide variety of needs. Some were very old and blind, and needed a little extra care. I pride myself in doing my best to support the pets in my care. I'm available before 7 am and after 6 pm on workdays, before 7 am and after 1 pm on Saturdays, and all hours on Sundays. And I'll always make sure to follow the care schedule you want for your fur babies. I understand how much your fur babies mean to you, and I will always make it my top priority to provide them with a safe, loving and predictable environment. You can count on me to follow all your instructions when it comes to all of their routines.

“Stephanie did a fantastic job. My cat is very shy, but she made him feel so comfortable he crawled into her arms and let her hold him like a baby after less than 24 hours. He has never done that for anyone but me before! Cats are a good judge of character, and his comfort with her speaks well of the kind of person she is. It was a better outcome than I could have expected or hoped for. My dog had a great time with her too. He was skunked right before my trip and I couldn't fully get the smell out, but she took it in stride. He is a lapdog through and through so I am glad that didn't deter her from snuggling up with him. She gave him cuddles and comforted him when he was nervous about fireworks on the fourth of July. My flight coming back was delayed significantly, and she stayed an extra half day to take care of my boys. She was willing to stay with them longer, but thankfully it did not turn out to be needed. She was responsive, personable, and gave me regular updates. My instructions were followed to a T and my animals loved her. I am very grateful to have found someone trustworthy to look after my pets and will definitely book with her again!”


“Justine watched our pups for a week and they were obviously well-cared for and loved. I was relaxed the whole time away knowing that she had them in hand. We had a small hiccup with exactly which food to feed, but it was an easy fix and I look forward to having Justine back as often as she is available. She left the house just as she found it- possibly even better.”


“Lauren went above and beyond in house sitting my anxious pup while I was out of town for a week! She was very responsive and reliable, and when I came home my dog was more comfortable and relaxed than I have ever seen her after a trip away.”


“Had a little difficulty with figuring out the schedule at first, but that was sorted out quickly. My dog had a health issue and Steve was very helpful in managing this and very patient with our pup.”


“Julia did an amazing job! My pets immediately loved her and she took great care of them while I was gone for a week. My house was super clean when I got back too. 5/5 would rebook again! :)”


About: Animals are my passion! I have experience with giving medication to animals, dealing with anxious animals, and other maintenance concerns regarding your furry friend(s). I will treat your pets and animals as if they were my own, so there is no need to look any further! :) I am currently going to school, but I am able to commute on days other than Monday and Wednesday during the fall 2025 semester. I would appreciate listing any medications that you animals may need and when those ought to be given to them. While I cannot provide my own home for your animals getaway, I would love to make your animals feel like they are not far from home while you're away. If you leave explicit instructions regarding what you would like me to do while in your residence, you can trust that they will be followed and respected.

About: I have had dogs my entire life including all different breeds and ages, I have also grown up in Roanoke and am comfortable and familiar with the area and looking to help out whenever needed! I currently work on Fridays all day at the hospital with taking classes from 8am-12pm Mon-Thurs with my weekends usually free! I am pretty much available anytime after 12pm and before 8am on weekdays other than Fridays! I have a sweet 8yr old Terrier that is my best friend. We have a fenced back yard for her to get exercise and we gone on our daily walks in the neighborhoods!

“After the meet and greet with Keelee I did not stress about the process. While on vacation Keelee took care of the house and Jack was happy when we returned. Keelee sent me pics and let me know how things were going. It was super nice going out of town knowing things were being taken care of so my family could relax and have fun!! :)”
