Dog Walking Roanoke

“Michele has been amazing. We have a steady week schedule with her and she continues to impress us. Kaia is definitely a handful and she takes care of her with ease. Michele is amazing with communication, my dog had an accident in the house and she informed me in detail and even helped cleaned up. We are extremely grateful for her help and I know Kaia enjoys her visits and her departure treats!”

About: Hi there, I’m Abbygale but go by Ari or Abby! I recently adopted a cat, which is where most of my experience comes from, as well as a different range of animals through Rover itself! My experience leans more basic but I am very open to learning :) I work another full-time job that keeps me occupied during the evenings (roughly 3pm-12am)—my lunch break is not sufficient enough for me to step out and do check-ins/let animals out for bathroom breaks. My schedule is not completely set in stone, however I primarily work weekends. (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Please feel free to ask about my availability or catch me early enough to put in a notice! 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 scenario for both of us! I stick with the schedule, if given, so that the pet doesn’t stress out over it—I’ll be as flexible as given

About: I have had so much fun providing pet care services through Rover and have met some wonderful families! I’ve had dogs in the family my whole life and our cat is a treasure in our home. I’ve recently said goodbye to our sweet elderly dog and my heart yearns for more four-legged friends although I'm not ready to commit to adopting just yet! Caring for other peoples’ pets has helped me mend some cracks in my heart! I started doing Rover since I had experience hosting friends’ dogs during their family trips and helping family and neighbors with their pets. My own family has also included birds and fish if that’s the type of care you need! I have just exited education to go back to school so I have flexible availability for this work. I am currently at home going back to school while my children all attend school during the daytime. It has never been a better time for me to enjoy this type of work! I have a fenced yard with grass and a lovely neighborhood for walking! I have a two story home and dogs are welcome on main level (baby gate on stairs) Hard floors make for easy cleaning.

“Sandra helped us out with our dog while we were here for 3 months for work. Motley loved his walks with her. She is reliable and always sends good pictures. Highly recommend using her for your pets!”

“Alaina left a great first impression. She was very thorough and put my mind at ease about the well-being of both my dogs. I will definitely use her again”

About: I have owner various pets throughout my life and there has never been a time that I have not had an animal in my house. We relocated to the USA two years ago, and have recently adopted a 1 year old Cavapoo. I am currently not working, and my husband works from home, so there is usually someone at home. My kids do take part in sports, so I usually use their practices as outings for the pets I watch and take them along. If you are not comfortable witb this, please let me know. Unfortunately no aggressive breeds are permitted at my home. I am happy to come to your home to spend time with your pets, giving cuddles and taking them for walks in safe neighborhoods. I do not have pets at my home so I am able to take care of your small pets at my home. I have a fenced garden area for potty breaks.

“Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up surrounded by animals means caring for pets isn't just a service I offer—it's second nature. As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve spent years sharing my home with dogs, cats, and small animals, learning firsthand the unique quirks, routines, and personalities that make each animal special. ​That lifelong experience naturally led me into pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppies who need endless game-time to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and strict medication schedules. Im currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding in your home weekends and holidays and weekdays after 12pm. Caring for my own 2 Labador Retrievers daily gives me deep, practical experience in keeping high-energy, affectionate dogs happy, healthy, and structured. I bring that exact same standard of care directly into your home when watching your pets. ​Here is how I care for my Labs and bring that expertise to your home: ​Structure & Exercise: My Retrievers thrive on consistent daily walks, active fetch sessions, and mental stimulation like puzzle toys. I adapt this energy outlet to your dog’s specific age, breed, and fitness level. ​Mealtime & Health Routines: With my own dogs, strict feeding schedules, weight monitoring, and coat care are second nature. I follow your home’s exact feeding, dietary, and medication instructions down to the letter. ​Positive Energy & Safety: Labs are famously friendly but require strong leash skills and reliable impulse control. I use gentle, structured reinforcement to ensure safe walks and calm house manners. ​In-Home Comfort & Peace of Mind: Caring for dogs in their home environment minimizes stress. I keep your pets content in their familiar routines while keeping your home secure, clean, and well-maintained. ​Whether it is keeping up with a high-energy Retriever or giving gentle attention to a quiet senior dog, I treat every client's home and pet with the same love, vigilance, and dedication I give my own.

About: I have had pets all my life, and not just your normal ones. I grew up on a farm with goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits, dogs, and cats. On top of that I have spent most of my youth volunteering at animal hospitals until I was old enough to apply for a job. I love animals and there individual personalities and I hope to meet your babys personality soon. I currently work full-time as a veterinary technician at an emergency hospital, and caring for animals is truly something I love. I especially enjoy spending extra time with pets outside of work, whether that’s taking dogs for walks or keeping cats company with some playtime and cuddles! I’m typically available before 3 PM Monday through Wednesday, and I’m completely free Thursday through Saturday. I’d love the opportunity to spend some quality time with your pets and give them the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I believe both pets and owners should receive the same respect. As well as the understanding that different pets have different preferences and boundaries, just like people.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid and recently had to say goodbye to my last dog. I adore dogs but as empty nesters who travel, I’m not in a place to get another one full time now. So I decided to start dog sitting in my neighborhood and got so many clients it was getting confusing keeping up with so many bookings! I needed a better platform to keep my schedule, take payment, etc. So instead of having my own dogs, I just get to love on your babies instead! I joke that I’m like coming to your grandparents house where your dog can get all the loving it wants! I have a huge fenced in backyard with all grass and lots of room to roam. I would always let my dogs sleep with me and also cuddle on the couch so if you want your dog to do that here that’s fine with us. I try to do everything just like they get at home so they are happy in their routine. Your dog(s) will be in good hands and I look forward to taking care of them while you are away from home. I am currently retired and run a business that is only busy at the holidays. I’m pretty much home every day otherwise and if I’m working, I’m doing it from home. I have one of the biggest backyards in our neighborhood and it is all nice green grass. I don’t have a pool so it’s a great place to roam and play fetch. I also have a dog park in our neighborhood if your dog needs more activity & likes company. My yard is fenced in, kept locked at all times and has cameras so your dog is definitely secured in with us.

About: I have always had a passion for all types of animals all of my life. I have owned many in my lifetime from small to big and of course a cat lover too! In my younger years I owned and operated a pet sitting service for 10 years, which I enjoyed tremendously! I then expanded to owning and operating natural pet food stores for 16 years. Recently I have sold my business and moved to Texas being with family and now looking forward to be of service to you and your pets! I am new to Rover but my knowledge and experience in pet care is vast and wide. I have worked with many holistic vets through the years and happy to share my knowledge if you are looking for that. I am also experienced in administering medications and insulin for dogs and cats. I am also well versed in puppies, kittens and senior pet care. If your pet requires great exercise I walk 8 miles a day and love walking and know how to get their wiggles out so you can rest assured a happy dog when you come back home! I strive in clear communication while you are away on the care & safety of your pets and home while you are away. I look forward to the opportunity to caring for your pets when you can't be there. I have a very open schedule and I am available any day of the week and times that work with the schedule of you & your pets. Safety is the number one. I will go over details with you prior to make sure your pets and home are in safe keeping, so I know where your dog or cat is typically located/kept in or out of the home and all doors and fences are always secure. It is a detail that I am very particular about!

About: Hi, I'm Demi —- 🌸 💐 🐶 🐱 & my boyfriend Jimmy will probably be helping me out if that’s okay!!! He’s amazing with animals and worked at a vet clinic for five years!!!! Im also an enthusiastic and dedicated animal lover with a special fondness for both dogs and cats. With a passion for providing top-notch care, I bring the energy to keep up with playful pups and the serenity to match the calm demeanor of kitties. I understand that animals are unique individuals who deserve time, respect, and affection. As a dog walker, I ensure that each walk is a fun and engaging experience, tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m reliable, professional, and committed to maintaining the safety and happiness of your furry friends. For cats, I excel in reading their subtle cues and providing the perfect balance of play and relaxation, making them feel comfortable and cherished. Let me help you give your pets the care and attention they deserve, whether it's energetic walks for your dogs or gentle companionship for your cats. I’m excited to offer my services and build a trusting relationship with both you and your beloved pets. As a nanny with some free time, I’d love to extend my care and attention to your fur babies of any type! Whether it’s walking dogs, playing with cats, or providing companionship to other pets, I’m dedicated to offering them the same love and respect I give to my kiddos. Let me help ensure your pets get the care they deserve while you’re busy. I prioritize the safety of every animal in my care by following strict protocols to ensure their well-being. I use secure leashes and harnesses for walks, monitor their behavior closely to prevent accidents, and always adhere to their dietary and health needs. I also take the time to familiarize myself with their routines and any special instructions you provide. Your pets' safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I am an experienced pet parent with two rescue pups, a special needs senior husky, and an anxious, high-energy pit mix. I understand dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs! Whether it’s senior care, puppy training, or calming anxious pups, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve!" I am currently self-employed and I get to set my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility in my days at this time. "Whether it's checking in, going for a walk, or just spending time, I will treat your pup like my own. As a dedicated pet parent to my own dog, a high-energy pit mix with anxiety, and recently lost my senior husky who had a lot of medical needs, I understand that every dog has unique needs, personalities, and quirks. I have experience with everything from managing medical care for senior pups to helping anxious dogs feel safe and secure. Whether your dog needs extra patience, plenty of playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’m here to provide the same love, care, and attention I give my own furry family."

About: I have taken care of kittens to senior cats. I also own 3 cats. Drop in visits are offered for your fur baby in your home. I used to breed eskimo spitz dogs for many years. I am retired so my schedule is open seven days per week except when I travel. I will run errands mid-day and provide visits before and after that time. In the clients home, I will follow instructions after visiting in advance of the sitting date with you to understand your cat’s routine. Drop in visits only.

About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pup in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where you can feel completely at ease. I offer a smoke-free home with a spacious yard where your dog can explore, play, and relax comfortably. I’m a proud dog mom to two very sweet pups — Thor, my 3-year-old labradoodle and gentle giant, and Bowzer, my 10-year-old cockapoo couch potato. Thor is playful, crate-trained, and almost always carrying one of his toys around. Bowzer is calm, affectionate, and happiest curled up on the couch — and yes, I do allow pups on the couch 😊 Bowzy loves sharing his spot, and Thor is usually nearby with his toys and ready for cuddles. I believe communication is key, especially when your dog is in someone else’s care. During your pup’s stay, I’ll send regular updates along with photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. This allows your pup to acclimate calmly with my dogs and ensures they receive my full attention. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and cozy stay. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pup! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days with limited hours, so I have a later start to my mornings and am typically home by 5pm. This allows for consistent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our mornings begin with a potty break in the yard followed by breakfast. In the evenings, the pups have dinner and we wind down with playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or cozy couch time. If your pup follows a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule, I’m more than happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a calm, smoke-free home with plenty of indoor space and a yard for dogs to safely explore and play. We also enjoy neighborhood walks for extra exercise and fresh air. Thor is crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. Bowzer usually sleeps in his own bed or near me. I always follow what makes each dog feel most secure. If your pup prefers to be crated, sleeps in their own bed, or is used to sleeping near their people, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine. If your dog requires a crate during their stay, I kindly ask that you provide their crate so they have something familiar and comfortable from home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. I’ve found that dogs adjust best in a calm environment where they can acclimate at their own pace without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and care.
