I work full-time in Roanoke but I and am happy to help locals with their pets at my house. I do work full days with ability to let dogs out during lunch breaks! Very important- I have a toddler who is very very mobile and outgoing. At this time, I can only accept client offers if your pets have been around children and displayed positive behaviors. Of course I always monitor but can't take any chances if there's a negative history with children.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I require crates so that I can cycle dogs in/out because I keep my dog separate, as he is territorial (he has small dog syndrome haha). If you do not have a crate and don't typically crate your dog, we can discuss on a case-by-case basis. I guarantee your dog will not be crated except for if they display separation anxiety and when I have to let my dog out. I always let my Rover clients hang out and cuddle and roam around!

Information Sidney K. would like to know about your pet

Since I am watching dogs at my home, it is important to know about separate anxiety (I have had some dogs chew/tear things up) and as I mentioned before, I'll make sure to crate before leaving the home. Also, I have two indoor/outdoor cats. They typically hide from guest dogs but if they are comfortable, they get curious!

A typical day

I have a large fenced-in backyard so this is a dog’s playground! We love to sit outside as well as take walks. And cannot forget a lot of cuddles and relaxation in this house!

Pet care experience

A little about me: I am an Occupational Therapist and live and work in Roanoke. I would love to help with your pets when I’m able. I dogsat throughout my graduate studies and have developed great clientele on and off of Rover. 🐾 Now here's a little about why I have the joy of working for Rover! Dogs are four-legged bundles of love. I am an experienced dog owner (weiner dog, beagle mix, blue heeler/Boston terrier, black & yellow labs, and good ol mutts)! As for dog type, I am not picky at all and have experience with detailed feeding and training preferences. Also open to looking over any other types of pets on a case-by-case basis 😎

Sidney was wonderful! She took great care of my dog who can be a handful sometimes. She sent lots of pictures and updates. I definitely would use her again!

Sidney did an incredible job with my German Shepherd! She sent pictures and checked in regularly to put me at ease. If you’re in Roanoke, Sidney as your pet sitter is the best choice you can make!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
