About: I have a year of hands-on experience caring for dogs as a volunteer at the humane society. I am Fear Free certified and have received extensive training in handling and working with dogs to ensure their well-being and comfort. I prioritize their well-being by dedicating time each day to ensure they are happy, entertained, and have all their necessities met. My flexible evening schedule allows me to accommodate their needs, even with last-minute changes. As a passionate pet lover, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and attention to your beloved pets. Trust me to treat them as if they were my own, ensuring their happiness, health, and well-being every step of the way.
About: I have taken care of and been around animals since I was 7. Walking, feeding, bathing and playing with animals. One of my biggest joys in life. I am soon to be working a full time job but will still have plenty of time to fit your pups and cats into my schedule! I live in a apartment therefore I can not board in my home but if you’re welcoming into your own home, I will be more than happy to stay with your fur babies if it fits into my schedule! I love the outdoors and I’m always looking for a reason to get out more so I love walks, especially with a furry friend.
“Good communication, punctual, and on time. She checked in on our cat for a week, and sent pictures everyday so we could see how our cat was doing. We were never worried for our cat while we were gone.”
“Lauren was amazing! She took great care of our two cats and dog, kept us updated, send us photos of our babies and gave our pets lots of love and attention. We came home to happy pets and will definitely book with Lauren again!”
“Richard, was babysitting our two dogs Roxy and Kouchie. He did very good job. He is very reliable and communicative. He loves animals. We absolutely like his service.”
“If you are looking for someone to love your pet as their own, Bridgette is your gal. There is no doubt she is an animal lover through and through. My girls were sooo soo spoiled by her for the past week. Gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. I 100% will use her again.”
“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 have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats. I take them on walks, play with them, feed them, and even sweep, mop and vacuum for pet hair. The most animals I’ve taken care of at a time was 4 cats and two large dogs, keeping all happy, cared for, loved and entertained. I currently have one college class on Tuesday and Thursday from 2-3:20 and I have a Bible study on Wednesday from 1-2. I will be free the rest of the time to love and cherish your fur babies. I love animals and will care for them with all the love I have. I will play with them, love them, keep them happy and cared for. They will always be petted and babied.
About: From puppies to seniors, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, at least three dogs in my house my whole life. I learned to be responsible and became infatuated with pet-behaviors and learning the way every pet wants to be interacted with. I’ve also grown to love rescues, and have two of my own. While I’m not lucky enough to be a full-time animal enthusiast as my career, my favorite “hobby” is anything to do with dogs, the best way to take care of them, and make sure they enjoy their life. I have two pets of my own, one with special needs. I quite literally view them both as my own children, and do everything I can to know they feel and get treated that way. My pup gets her walks, play time, down time and routine care every day (along with all the snuggles), and as long as he gets attention (and maybe some chicken tubes) my kitty is happy. Even with working full time, I make sure they are my number one my priority. I quite literally view my own pets as my own children, and I know they will always be that way. My boyfriend finds it a bit much, but before her walks, my dog gets her puppy shoes on and off we go, to make sure she doesn’t get her burnt feet. I tend to be a bit of a worry-wart about my pets, I monitor their behavior and actions constantly. As soon as something may seem off with one of them, I’m already making calls and doing research as to what it may be. Thankfully, even with one pet of mine high risk for liver and kidney problems, they have been happy, healthy, and active pets (even with an apartment) since I’ve had them. My priority is always safety no matter the pet.
“Priscilla was wonderful! We have two very big dogs and they can be handful but she handled it like a pro. She cleaned up any messes they made and shared so many photos and videos of our babies. Thank you Priscilla!”
“Lillian has been so helpful for me and my family. My dog absolutely adores her and she always does a fantastic job. She also was able to drop by and take care of my pets when I was away. She is such a blessing and it was so lovely working with her.”
“Alexis was amazing!!! She took care of my two cats while I was away on vacation. They were well taken care of and Alexis was so loving and caring to my babies. One of my cats is always scared of new people and hides, Alexis got her to come out the first day! She has a gift with animals and is very reliable. Have to book with her, won’t regret it!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was little, and am definitely a “can I pet your dog?!” person, everywhere I go! I decided to turn my love of dogs into a gig where I get to love on other people’s pups and enjoy having a dog in the house while I wait to have a dog of my own. That’s right! Your pup will be the only one in my house for the length of their stay, which means they are super spoiled and loved on. I work from home, and my daily routine is a morning run, which I am happy to take your dog on and even slow it down to a walk if needed. I live close to the Trophy Club dog park and frequently take my furry guests to the park (with their owners permission!). I am comfortable crating your dog, and I also have a small fenced in backyard that I let dogs out into to stretch their legs and go potty. I do have one small, quiet cat who has learned to tolerate (read: allow) dogs in her home and had even learned to try and make friends. Please let me know if your dog is up for that or if our cat needs to be put away for the length of your dog’s stay. I’m looking forward to being your pup’s new bestie! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule during work hours, as well as on the weekends. I’m open for walks, pets, scratchies, treats, and feeding schedules. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced yard. Since I have a small grassy area, poop gets cleaned up immediately, so the yard is clean. I am comfortable crating your dog, and I work best with older dogs or trained dogs who have a routine and know their crate is a safe space. I put the crate in my office area which is open to the rest of the house, so they never feel lonely or abandoned! I also live very close to the Trophy Club dog park, and frequently take dogs down there to run around and make friends (if their owner is comfortable with that!). I also help my doggies remember good manners- to sit before treats, coming inside, and to wait nicely for food.
About: **I am a teacher and my calendar is contingent on Keller ISD school calendar.** I am available most holidays, with advance notice. I look forward to caring for your pet as my own. I’ve cared for pets all my life, from hamsters to horses. I bring experience and compassion to all I do. Our family pets, a Lab mix and senior Chiweenie, would agree. I update my schedule a month in advance. Please contact me with any questions about availability including most major holidays and weekends. Contact me for a meet-and-greet. I will care for your pets by following your care plan. While I am with your pet I will engage, pet, play and walk as per your request.
“You would be mistaken to not use Katie for your pets! Right before our scheduled booking, we had a medical event with one of our dogs. We explained the situation to Katie and she handled it perfectly. We felt so much more comfortable knowing Katie was watching him when we couldn’t. We will definitely be using Katie in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I've also worked with Wag!, where I provided reliable, attentive care for a variety of pets and built experience meeting each dog's unique needs. My professional background is in behavior analysis, so I naturally use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior while helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and confident. I have a dog of my own named Stella, a pittie who is truly my whole world. Being a pet parent myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. That's why I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, plenty of attention, and lots of love. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a consistent routine, I'm committed to providing the highest level of care. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I'm available on weekdays from 4:30 PM until late evening and have full availability on weekends. I'm also available for weekend boarding, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. If your dog prefers their own space or is crate-trained, I can easily accommodate that as well. I always follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests to help them feel as comfortable as possible. My background in behavior analysis has taught me to be patient, attentive to body language, and proactive in creating positive experiences. I also love keeping pet parents updated by sharing plenty of photos and videos, so you can see your furry friend having fun and know they're in great hands.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. 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 Meet & Greet .
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.
