“Kim is a rockstar! She is so great with our kitties! She has watched them several times and they have started to treat her like a member of the family. There's no one else I would trust to take such good care of our babies.”

“Incredibly easy to use service. Michele was lovely and treated our dog just like we would. She always sent pictures and she was very communicative. We hope to continue our relationship with her!!”

“Claudia is AMAZING—she is reliable, consistent, and such a pleasure to work with—she is very attentive to our dog’s needs and always goes above and beyond to ensure each visit goes well. It is such a relief to know our dog is well loved and cared for when we are away. Thanks Claudia!!!”

“Lauryn always takes great care of my cat, and my cat has gotten more comfortable with her each time I’m out of town which says a lot for my timid girl! I also get lots of pictures which I appreciate!”

“I am so grateful for Wendy! She is organized, a great communicator, and my cat loved her! I received photos every visit, and I could see from afar that my cat was enjoying her time with Wendy -- lots of playtime. I will happily ask Wendy to watch my cat again.”

About: I have had 3 dogs including my life and loved caring for them. Feeding them, playing with them, and taking them on walks! I had a senior dog of 10 years. He couldent walk for his last couple months so sometimes I would carry him small distances he was 90 pounds. I am available all day every day except for mondays from 5:30-9. And when I go on a trip. But I will let you know on the calendar. I only walk dogs and check on them in your house. I can do whatever you need! I can feed them, walk them, play with them, and give them medication.
“Hope provided excellent assistance when we needed a last minute check in on our dog! She was quick and clear with communication and made sure our fur baby was let outside to potty and cared for. We will request her services in the future!”


“Sarah was great!! I had a busy week of travel and she was a life saver to stop by and take care of my Frank and do drop ins to feed and walk him. Pictures and notes on the visit were great.”

About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.
“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.”

“Lauren was amazing! She took great care of our two cats and dog, kept us updated, send us photos of our babies and gave our pets lots of love and attention. We came home to happy pets and will definitely book with Lauren again!”
“I was pleased that Penny went and checked on my dogs and sat with them each day and made sure they had freshwater. He gave me peace of mind and also I loved getting the pictures of them to show that they were safe and sound in my backyard. Thank you so much!”

“First time using a sitter for our baby astro and Caitlin was fantastic! She provided top-notch care, ensuring our furry baby felt loved and comfortable. Excellent communication, punctuality, and a genuine passion for animals made the experience worry-free. Highly recommend!”

“Karien was great with our two dogs! She was on time, dependable, thorough in her notes and always stayed for the designated time. The photo and videos updates were SO VERY appreciated and a highlight for us while on vacation… we woke up each morning to multiple photos and videos of our pups. I cannot recommend Karien enough. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.”


About: From puppies to seniors, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, at least three dogs in my house my whole life. I learned to be responsible and became infatuated with pet-behaviors and learning the way every pet wants to be interacted with. I’ve also grown to love rescues, and have two of my own. While I’m not lucky enough to be a full-time animal enthusiast as my career, my favorite “hobby” is anything to do with dogs, the best way to take care of them, and make sure they enjoy their life. I have two pets of my own, one with special needs. I quite literally view them both as my own children, and do everything I can to know they feel and get treated that way. My pup gets her walks, play time, down time and routine care every day (along with all the snuggles), and as long as he gets attention (and maybe some chicken tubes) my kitty is happy. Even with working full time, I make sure they are my number one my priority. I quite literally view my own pets as my own children, and I know they will always be that way. My boyfriend finds it a bit much, but before her walks, my dog gets her puppy shoes on and off we go, to make sure she doesn’t get her burnt feet. I tend to be a bit of a worry-wart about my pets, I monitor their behavior and actions constantly. As soon as something may seem off with one of them, I’m already making calls and doing research as to what it may be. Thankfully, even with one pet of mine high risk for liver and kidney problems, they have been happy, healthy, and active pets (even with an apartment) since I’ve had them. My priority is always safety no matter the pet.
“Lillian has been so helpful for me and my family. My dog absolutely adores her and she always does a fantastic job. She also was able to drop by and take care of my pets when I was away. She is such a blessing and it was so lovely working with her.”

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.

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.

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.
