“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: 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.
“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 have had dogs in the family my whole life and our cat is a treasure to our family. 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 your pet will help mend some cracks in my heart! I have experience hosting friends’ dogs during their family trips and helping family and neighbors with their pets. My family has also included birds and fish! 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.
“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.”

“Our experience with Wendy was above & beyond everything I expected. We’ve never utilized dog walking services thru Rover before- just overnight boarding. Wendy is exponentially better than neighborhood kids we’ve had in the past. She took detailed notes during our meet & greet to ensure every detail was covered. She was on time every single day. Hot, sunny, humid weather? Nothing phases her. Our pup got to explore more of our neighborhood than she ever did with us. Wendy was simply amazing - one of our best experiences with Rover and we will absolutely be using her again. Our husky fell in love with her too!”

About: Hi, I’m Caitlin! I provide dependable, attentive pet care and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs—and I always aim to make pets feel comfortable and cared for during every visit. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk around the neighborhood, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and exercise they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide photo updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to me anytime! I always respond fast. I know it’s important to keep our animals in their routine so I can be flexible with times! I like to keep things as normal as possible for your pets. I can play, let them out, go on walks, give treats, etc. No request is too much when it comes to keeping them in their routine.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience fostering through a lab rescue, caring for dogs of all breeds and ages. I currently have a friendly Labrador and an 8-year-old daughter who both love having canine company. In our home dogs are free to roam the puppy-proofed downstairs area. I work from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I work from home, so I’m with the dogs all day—whether that’s morning walks, backyard playtime, or mid-day snuggles while I work. We keep things fun and spend lots of time outside. My goal is to keep your pups schedule as close to what they get at home as possible! In my home, dogs have full access to our open, puppy-proofed downstairs area and a fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I always supervise dogs during outside time and keep a close eye on interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. My own lab is friendly and well-socialized, and we provide a calm, loving environment.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have always loved them. 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 comfortable caring for indoor dogs and making sure they still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I walk my dog atleast twice a day and love spending time with her. 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 we need to do 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. 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’m very attentive and my priority is to make sure they’re comfortable and safe, especially when they’re in a new or unfamiliar situation. 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!
“Great with my 80 lb, strong willed boy! Friendly and puppy comes home happy and worn out. Everything I could ask for! Will hire Richard again for sure. So glad we got connected with him!”

About: I currently have 2 dogs, a cane corso and french bulldog. I’ve spent my whole life watching over friends/families cats and dogs, ranging from different sizes and breeds. Where I live has a backyard for some outdoor play time and cool air conditioning inside. I love animals and am excited to be doing this because it brings me so much joy!! I am currently in school but am home for most days of the week, so my schedule is super flexible. I will always be around to make sure your pet has the attention they need along with frequent potty breaks and walks! I strive to create the perfect stress free environment for your dogs happiness! Whether this involves treats or frequent cuddles and play time. I do my best to communicate with my clients as well as strictly following instructions.
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.
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.

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!

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.
