About: Hi! I’ve had dogs for the past 8 years and absolutely love having them around. I currently have a 9-month-old Goldendoodle who is very friendly, playful, and loves having other dogs around. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family over the years and have experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, hanging out around the house, or just lots of attention and belly rubs. For boarding, I’m comfortable hosting small to medium-sized dogs that get along well with other dogs, since my Goldendoodle will be home too. I’d also prefer to keep the number of dogs I watch at one time small so they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their stay so you can see what your pup is up to! I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day. I already spend a lot of my day taking care of my puppy, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out together, so having another pup join us fits naturally into my routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and time to relax. My home is puppy-proofed, with dog gates in place to keep everyone safe and prevent any escape attempts. I also have a good-sized, fully fenced yard where the dogs can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time
About: I’m passionate about keeping both people and their dogs happy, active, and healthy! As a proud Texas Husky parent for 12 years, I know firsthand how much exercise high-energy dogs need. I’m building a fun, active community where dogs can get the exercise and adventure they need while their humans feel confident they’re in good hands. I’d love to help your pup stay active, happy, and well-loved! When I visit your dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime! Whether that means a walk around the neighborhood, an energetic game of fetch, or some active playtime, I’ll tailor each visit to your dog’s energy level and needs. My goal is to make sure your pup gets moving, has fun, and is happy and relaxed by the time I leave! If I’m visiting your home, the focus will be on making sure your dog gets a chance to stretch their legs, get some fresh air, and enjoy some activity. Depending on your pup’s routine and comfort level, we can spend time playing in the backyard or take a walk around the neighborhood. I’ll make sure they get some movement, attention, and plenty of love!
About: I have been around pets all my life. I grew up on a farm with several different animals. Our family favorite has always been dogs. Now, I share that enjoyment with my kids. They love being around dogs too! We enjoy walking our own dogs and playing with them. Your pet would have a loving environment with lots of attention with us! I am a stay at home mom. So, currently, I have plenty of time to schedule pet care. Please let me know when your pet needs some TLC!) We have a fenced back yard with room for dogs to go out and stretch and take care of other business:-) We have two dogs that can easily stay with family while we watch your fur baby, or our little dog, can stay to give your dog company. We will be happy to play fetch or go on walks as well.
About: I have been in love with animals since I was little. I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, a sheep, dogs and cats. I've had 9 rescue dogs throughout my life, as well as 8 niece and nephew pups and countless friends' dogs I've cared for and loved. I have also volunteered at shelters and wildlife rescues, and I've even camel sat! I have experience working with and caring for different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments and have partnered with trainers to help dogs with work through anxiety, over-stimulation, and reactivity issues. I have also cared for special needs dogs and senior dogs who need meds, diapers, traction devices, slings, and extra attention. Once I get to know a pup, I am very attuned to their behavior/mood/signs and am able to help them feel cared for and safe. I'm currently working part time, so my availability is very wide open. I'm free for walks and play time during the day or overnight stays with your pup in your home if you have a work trip or vacation. Is your dog an escape artist? I've had one of those, so I can bring a heavy wooden gate to block off doors or other areas of the house as needed. Other than that, I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own dogs, and considering that my friends have said they would like to be reincarnated as one of my dogs....
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!
“She was an angel and cleaned up all the accidents and kept us posted on our sick baby while we were away! Really appreciated the communication and going the extra step to clean it up before we got back.”
About: I have been a stay at home mom of 3 girls for the last 25 years. I’ve had 2 labs and our boy Rucker is now 9 years old. I love dogs and all animals. I am a retired teacher and soccer coach and would love to help you with your pets as well. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days of the week to care for your fur baby and treat them like my own! I have 1 dog Rucker and a fenced yard and pool as well as a park and walking trails through out my neighborhood. I love dogs!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was very young. From hamsters, rabbits and cats to dogs, goats and horses. I promise to care for your fur babies as well as you do 🥰 I am currently partially retired so I have plenty of time, day or night, to help others care for their fur babies. What better way to spend my time 🤗 I currently have 2 aging cats who are “indoor” cats. They do go out back once in a while, but they never leave the patio. They love just sitting outside in the sunshine watching the birds. Our dog stays in the house at night and when we are away, but loves to play ball outside. Our fur babies are family.
About: I work full time at a retirement community and cat/dog sit for a few of the residents for weeks at a time. I have a few pets of my own (3 cats, 2 dogs and a turtle) and it is truly chaotic fun. I literally live and breathe caring for fur babies and would love to care for yours as well :) I work 11-8 weekdays with an hour break so I can check on your baby! I am off weekends and spend most of my time with the animals I watch. I have pets of my own and know how much they mean to you therefore I am willing to go above and beyond in their care. I have knowledge of vets in and around the Southlake/Grapevine area and the eastside of Fort Worth/Arlington area. I am able to provide daily updates and photos of your baby while you are gone.
“I could not have found a better person to watch our dogs! Ashley was everything we needed plus more! I will for sure be using her again! Thank you for sending the many pictures and treating my dogs like your own!”
About: I have experience with taking care of all range of pet needs, from strict schedules to more flexible basic care needs. I regularly take care of my friends and family pets. We walk. We read. We nap and snack. If there's a schedule to be kept, I'm on top of it. If your cat, dog, iguana, bird, or other pet is more flexible and just wants to chill, I'm happy to do that as well. You let me know what your beloved pet needs and I'll help make it happen. I usually take/send at least daily care pics with the pets activities of the day as well. I have a flexible schedule! I can do any time. Whether it's early mornings. Late nights. Sleep overs. Weekends.Holidays. Afternoons! Whatever your fur kid needs. Safety and trust always first. I will treat your fur kid's like my own. I will give them walkies. Pets and cuddles. Reading time. Snack time. I will love on them.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I adopted my baby 5 years ago without knowing how close we would be — she’s my baby girl! She’s an apartment dog, so I’m familiar with making sure indoor dogs still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I walk my piggy atleast twice a day and love spending time with her — she’s my bestie girl! She’s a CHEWER, so I love finding her chewies that last and that she loves. She has two moods — couch potato and wild animal — so I can hang with both! :) I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs — I’m willing and able to follow your instructions to help your doggy feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I have experience in caring for allergies and other health needs, so I’m comfortable following medication instructions, keeping up with special routines, and paying attention to changes in their behavior. My baby is also quite reactive with people and other dogs, so I’m comfortable doing whatever is necessary for them to feel safe and secure when we’re out and about — and will follow any specific instructions you give me! Your baby will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m excited to meet you and your doggy! :) I’m currently building a coffee truck business, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I like to wake up and get my dog moving pretty early in the day, so I’d love to do the same for your baby (or follow any routine they do). :) My biggest priorities for taking care of fur babies are safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll follow the instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any specific needs or preferences your pet has. I’ll be very attentive to your babies! It’s so important to me that they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure doors, gates, and other exits are properly closed. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind and good communication while you’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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Roanoke is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $33 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 8,068 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Roanoke. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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.
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.
To find sitters in Roanoke with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roanoke. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
