About: I have professional experience working with dogs in structured daycare settings, including as a Canine Coach at Dogtopia. I managed playrooms of up to 35–40 dogs at a time and worked with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m comfortable reading dog body language, supporting safe group play, and staying calm and confident with both high-energy and anxious dogs. I also worked with Southlake Crittercare as a dog driver and handler, safely transporting dogs to and from daycare and assisting with playgroups organized by energy level and play style. In both roles, I cared for boarding dogs and handled daily routines such as feeding and administering medications. Paying close attention to individual needs and keeping dogs comfortable and secure was always a priority. Outside of my professional roles, I’ve provided in-home and overnight pet sitting for friends and family over the years. This includes caring for a home with four Basset Hounds of varying ages, including senior dogs requiring multiple medications. I understand how important consistency and clear communication are when someone else is caring for your pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be attentive and reliable with pet care throughout the week. I value routine and consistency, and I strive to make sure each pet receives the time and attention they need. Clear communication and planning are important to me, so owners always know what to expect. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping routines consistent and stress low. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs, and I stay attentive to changes in behavior or appetite. My background in dog daycare and handling has given me strong skills in reading body language and managing different temperaments, including high-energy, anxious, and senior dogs. For walks, I prioritize leash safety, awareness of surroundings, and each dog’s individual pace and comfort level. I treat clients’ homes with respect and take care to keep pets secure by following door, gate, and leash protocols. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.
“Daniella was amazing! She was super communicative, reliable, and clearly cared so much about my dog. I loved the updates and photos—it gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got back. I already booked with her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I am a five star, exceptional pet sitter . I can send video and pictures every day that I have your pet. I have been a pet owner since I was a little girl. I’ve had several different kinds of dogs all small dogs and also I have cared for the elderly for years. I’m currently not working, I am a caregiver and I take care of an elderly person. I also took care of two little puppies. One is a Maltese and one is a Shih Tzu., I have an apartment, however I do have a small fenced in yard, I have a dog park also, and I have two small dogs that get along great with other animals and also children and also seniors. I have been a dog lover for years.
About: I have had 3 dogs including my life and loved caring for them. Feeding them, playing with them, and taking them on walks! I had a senior dog of 10 years. He couldent walk for his last couple months so sometimes I would carry him small distances he was 90 pounds. I am available all day every day except for mondays from 5:30-9. And when I go on a trip. But I will let you know on the calendar. I only walk dogs and check on them in your house. I can do whatever you need! I can feed them, walk them, play with them, and give them medication.
“Once again, our pup had an amazing time with Samantha and we felt totally at ease! She is observant, kind, trustworthy, great with animals, and excellent at communication. We wouldn’t want to use anyone else! It’s hard to be away from your pet, but having them in Samantha’s care makes it 100x easier!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little kid: starting at about 10 years old I pet set for my neighbors. I have watched, fed, and walked dogs of varying sizes and ages and have also fed and managed some cats. In my college town I have helped the Humane Society on occasion by taking a dog at a time to walk them and let them roam around and enjoy time outside the kennel. I am an animal lover and know how important it is for them to be cared for and loved! I’m currently working part time only 2 days a week as I am home for the summer so will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I have a fenced in yard and a small dog who is super friendly and well loved. He is a grazer so doesn’t have designated food times but my previous dogs were fed twice a day. He gets morning walks every morning and sometimes extra ones in the evening.

About: Hi there! I have lots of experience caring for pets ranging from my own pets to shadowing at veterinary clinics in the DFW area. I am happy to help with walks and check-ins, and I am comfortable working with any breed or species. I have cared for a wide variety of dogs, elderly and young, and can accommodate special needs. For walks I work with owners to establish the safest route according to their pups needs in! For check-ins I can do feedings, administer meds, and play with your pup to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday. I can fit in walks and check-ins before and after work on those days, but Friday-Sunday I generally have an open availability for any help you might need. Each animal is different and requires their own unique approach. I try to respect this when establishing a relationship with both owner and pet. For walks and check-ins, I will work with you to make sure I can properly care for your animal! If you are considering boarding please be aware I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own and we will need to heavily discuss if everyone can blend together safely!
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the combination of reliability, patience, and personalized care I bring to every pet and family I work with. I treat every animal like they’re my own, paying close attention to their routines, comfort, and personality so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I make time in my schedule to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to following each pet’s normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and house rules. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners always know their pets are safe and happy! Safety is always my top priority. I carefully supervise pets during walks and playtime, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure pets are never put into stressful or unsafe situations.
“Sandra had been amazing! I had knee surgery and needed someone to help with Nyx's daily walks. Sandra took care of early mornings. She was always on time and Nyx was excited to see her each morning. I will definitely use Sandra's services again in the future!”

“Kelly is amazing! This was our first time booking with her and we will definitely book with her in the future! She provided detailed updates of Beau after each visit, and several pics - it was obvious that Beau was very comfortable around her and had a great time!”

“Haylle did a great job taking care of our cat during a week long vacation. Our cat is super shy with strangers, but surprisingly warmed up to Haylle in just a day! We will definitely rebook.”

“Samantha did such a great job visiting my cats who are very demanding. She really does a thorough and reliable job and is very kind. She communicates in a timely fashion which is great”

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s been a huge part of my life for years. I used to foster animals and now work as a full time pet sitter. Through fostering and pet sitting, I’ve had hands on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including: • Senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle handling, and routine • Dogs with health issues, medication schedules, mobility challenges, and special diets • High energy pups who need structured play and mental stimulation • Anxious or shy dogs who need calm, reassuring care I’ve also assisted with multiple birthing of puppies and provided care for mom and newborns. Because of my foster background, I’m very comfortable: • Administering oral medications • Monitoring behavior and health changes • Following detailed care instructions • Keeping pets on their normal routines • Providing updates and photos I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your animal in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs extra medical attention, gentle senior care, or just lots of love and playtime, I’m here to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away 🤎🐶🐱 As a single, full time mom to an almost 4 year old who loves animals just as much as I do, pet sitting has become the perfect fit for our lifestyle.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Roanoke choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
