“Kim was fantastic, same as my previous experience with her! She always does such a great job with her updates and photos. She also always cleans up the hairballs and accidents that my cat seems to leave every time I go out of town 🙄 (sorry Kim!) Really grateful to have someone who watches out for our Chloe Cat when we are out of town!”

“Wendy has now watched my cat multiple times, and it is clear from the photos Wendy sends me just how much my cat likes her. Wendy is a true animal lover. I look forward to getting each photo of my cat having funwhile I’m away!”
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.
“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.”
“Claudia is a phenomenal pet sitter! She went above and beyond with in-home visits for my dogs, ensuring they were not only well-cared-for but also happy and relaxed. Claudia provided regular updates and photos. I could tell my dogs absolutely adored her. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“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.”
“Amy really loves on our dogs like they are her own. If they’re happy when we’re gone we know that we can relax while on a vacation. She’s close by and that is a huge plus as well!”
“Sandra had been amazing! I had knee surgery and needed someone to help with Nyx's daily walks. Sandra took care of early mornings. She was always on time and Nyx was excited to see her each morning. I will definitely use Sandra's services again in the future!”
“Madeleine was dependable and resourceful. I left a feral cat in her care and he was more challenging than I expected. Bernie had not been socialized and ran away whenever Madeleine came. But she stayed,talked to him and tried to coach him over to her. She also made sure that he had food and water to drink. I know that her care insured Bernie being here when I came home. I appreciate it.”
“Makae was a lifesaver when she was able to take care of my dog last minute. I was nervous because I hadn't used Rover before but she made me feel at ease by sending daily texts and photos of my happy pup. She's such a calm and positive presence and I will definitely trust her to take care of Maya again!”
“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!”
“Alicia has been so wonderful with my sweet girl, Lexi. This is my first time using a Petsitter so I was a little nervous. Seeing her check-ins has completely alleviated any worries I had I leaving my dog to come one else to care for. I am a fan of this service and always feel like I’m kept informed of my dogs welfare. Thank you, Alicia!”
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.
“Anna is amazing. I have the grumpiest cat alive and the other is really skittish. After 4 days, Anna had won them over. She is reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend her. I will definitely book her from now on anytime we need a sitter!”
“Hope is super sweet and very reliable. She communicates well and my doggo loves when she visits. Will definitely continue to use her services. Thank you for everything Hope!”
“Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were happy and safe while I was on vacation. She provided serval pictures daily which helped relieve some the anxiety I had leaving the kitties for so long. One of my cats has recently been diagnosed with feline asthma and Sarah was able to administer his inhaler daily without issues. Sarah even helped out with some non-pet related tasks without hesitation. Definitely will rebook again. Thanks Sarah!”

Lauryn took incredible care of our cat for a little over three weeks. We know our cat wasn't the easiest at first with her injections, and we are so grateful to Lauryn and her husband for stepping up, trying different things, and finding a creative way to handle an elderly cat safely. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. Thank you for going above and beyond. We highly recommend Lauryn!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Roanoke on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,528 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Roanoke. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Roanoke stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roanoke. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
