“Yvonne was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Oreo! This was his first time staying with someone else and interacting with other dogs, so we were naturally a little nervous. Yvonne kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely trust Yvonne with Oreo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable sitter!”

We will definitely look for her the next time we are going out of town for Natsu.”

His communication was top-notch: whenever I had a question, he responded quickly and with thoughtfulness. It really put my mind at ease to see how happy and relaxed my pups were while I was away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend Refujio. I wouldn’t think twice about asking him to sit for us again!”
“Norman had a great time at Jaclyn and Eric's house!! This was our first time to leave him for more than a day or two, and he's only 1! He got to swim, play with their dogs, and enjoy himself! We loved seeing pictures of him, too. We are so happy to know that he was being loved in someone's home. We've already re-booked for the next two times we leave town and are thankful for him to have a home away from home! Thank you!”

They got the same attention and love as they do at home! I will definitely take my dogs back to Stacey next time I go out of town!”

We highly recommend Ha to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will absolutely book with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Roanoke
Bridgette and her family were great! Bridgett took such good care of Penny. She treated her like one of her own puppies if not even more special. Penny was well taken care of, and was happy to be there. Bridgette sent us picture and video updates every day. Bridgette was very easy to get a hold of at any time. We strongly recommend her to everyone who needs puppy sitting.
Michele is so sweet and took such good care of Ellie. Even though it was for one night ,she took the time to send pic's and keep me updated and I really appreciate that. I have to take a trip soon, and Ellie is looking forward to staying with her again for the whole week, a it will make my heart happy she is in good hands with Michele, and I can enjoy a trip with my mom and sisters. ❤️
We left out Rocky for a one-day boarding and couldn't be happier with the experience! Toyin was absolutely wonderful — she gave his medicines on time, took him out for a walk, and sent us timely updates throughout the day so we always knew he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Roanoke is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Roanoke can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Roanoke home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Roanoke.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roanoke. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Roanoke sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
