“Claudia did a great job watching my two whippets while I was out of town. Very reliable and kept me updated and informed on how they were doing. Lots of pictures which I loved. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors. I’m a sitter who treats your pup like my family! Personal attention and peace of mind. I have an extremely flexible routine because I do not have a job. I’m also an empty-nester with just my husband and myself at our home. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of room inside to accommodate your fur-baby. You can count on me for pictures and updated information daily.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a horse farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve always felt comfortable around animals of all sizes, including big dogs and pets with unique personalities or needs. I have 7+ years of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight stays, and I’ve cared for dogs with all different temperaments and energy levels. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable in their routine, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their owners are away. I have a 10 year old cat named Humphrey who is my absolute pride and joy. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friends and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve! I recently graduated college this April and have moved in with my parents in Northlake. I am currently job searching which means my schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and love making part of my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm presence while you’re away, or someone to keep them company overnight, I’m happy to help. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable, attentive, and present for your furry friends when they need it most. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pets on their normal schedule: following feeding instructions, maintaining their routines, providing walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away! I understand that every animal is different, and I’m always mindful of their boundaries, energy level, and individual personality.
About: I've been pet-sitting professionally for people since 2017. I've had cats my entire life, dogs for almost as long, and I'm happy to take care of animals with special needs! I easily bond with most pets, and love smaller life as well! Currently have a free schedule, I'm available most hours to care for your furever friend. As long as you are there for the initial introductions to your pet I'm happy to show up when you need me to. I will keep to a schedule for your pets, if you have them crated at night or if they sleep with you I'm flexible on either arrangement. Happy to take dogs on neighborhood walks and play fetch.
About: Since I was about 10 years old and had my first dog, a floppy Basset Hound named Happy, I have loved taking care of pets, especially dogs. Just like Happy received, I believe every dog deserves genuine care, attention and affection. I'll be sure to love on and give your dog special care, just like I did Happy. I work from home Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your dog, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home during the week, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I provide a calm, loving environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. In your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you're away.
“Sandra has been wonderful to our two pups. Very reliable and flexible. I am completely confident that our girls are well cared for while I am at work and my wife is out of town. Sandra even jumped in on short notice one weekend when a house sitting arrangement fell through. She provides great walk updates and constant communication. I highly recommend her and will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Kimberly is an outstanding doggy sitter. She took time from her very busy day to come and visit my precious Hana prior a couple of days prior to our scheduled service. On the appointment days she arrived on time to take Hana out for a walk around the neighborhood and then for some fun in the dog park. She constantly communicated with me on what my dog was doing and how she was behaving. She also sent several pictures of Hana. Hana is my first ever pet, so I always worry if I am doing something wrong. Kimberly not only put my mind at ease while she was walking Hana, but she also answered my questions and gave me tips about being a first-time dog owner. She really enjoys being with pets, and it shows when you talk to her. I am now her repeat customer and will stay that way as long as she has openings for Hana.”
“Wendy is an amazing soul and very much an animal person. My dog immediately took to her and loved her. She’s so in tune with what your pet needs. So thankful to have found her to help witb my pup.”

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.

“Lauryn is very easy to work with. We have a mini Aussie who can be a bit chaotic, but Lauryn always sends us photos of them on delightful walks. Rosie simply loves her. She has a way with animals, and is a great person to trust with your fur babies!”

About: Hello, I’m Abbygale but go by Ari or Abby. Recently I adopted a cat where most of my experience comes from, as well as a different range of animals through Rover itself. My experience is a little basic but I am very open to growing. This schedule is in place August 21-December 13. I may not be able to leave campus to check-in with animals. I’m a full time student at TCC, my Fall 2023 schedule will roughly be: Monday 1-7, Tuesday/Thursday 12-4, Wednesday 9:30-7. When it comes to caring for animals, I can only take up to three (3), I’m flexible in some regards but talking it through will result in the best case. I stick with the schedule, if given, so that the pet doesn’t stress out over it. I’ll be as flexible as given.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Roanoke is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Roanoke
I cannot say enough good about this sweet, wonderful gal. Hannah is such a blessing - the first day we had a meet & greet, she came in sat her purse down and immediately got on to the floor to get my Boxer's ball out from under the TV stand. Melt my heart!! Her love for animals is absolutely amazing, her attention to detail is unquestionable, and I would not trade her for the world. She plays with them, loves on them, and talks through their personalities and behaviors, listens with intention, and asks the right questions. She's just amazing!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Roanoke on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,140 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Roanoke. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Roanoke. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Roanoke.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roanoke. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
