About: Previous volunteer at a humane society in Dublin, Virginia before moving to Roanoke, VA. Previous foster volunteer at the Roanoke, VA SPCA. This helps if I care for an animal that has health problems. Work Monday - Friday 8-5 away from home. Check on my dog at lunch and can let yours out to walk as well if they are crate trained and can stay in the crate while I am not home. Maeve is a spoiled dog. She is turned three in Oct.

I have years of experience with various breeds and demeanors. I love spending time with animals and providing them with a fun time. My dog also love making new friends!
“Gretchen is wonderful!! We met before I left Skippy with her. She answered all my questions and Skippy acted comfortable with her. She was kept me informed on how Skippy was doing which included pictures of him. When I went to pick Skippy up he was happy to see me but he also seemed happy to stay if I left him. He's been home for 24 hours now and I swear he misses Gretchen. I've already told Gretchen that we will be seeing her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my two dogs while growing up as well as smaller pets like fish or hamsters. I currently have pets of my own that include 3 guinea pigs, 2 bunnies, and my dog Molly! I am a part time vet-tech assistant student and I have an open schedule to be available whenever you need me to take care of your pets.

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 .
