“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!!”
“So happy we found Wendy to look after our two babies. She was fantastic with sharing updates after each visit, and loved that she shared photos. Decided to call her the cat whisperer especially with how she bonded and interacted with our little boy.”
“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.”
“So glad I found Abby!! She took care of my cat so well and calmed this anxious cat mom with regular updates and pictures! I’ll definitely use her the next time I need a sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs in my household since I was born. Animals are a blessing to humans and we are so privileged to take care of such loyal beings. I’m currently applying to law school so my schedule is very flexible and open. I’m looking for something between now and school to fill my time and make some extra money! I have a fenced yard in a newly developed neighborhood. I have a Black Mouth Cur 4 year old male who is K9 trained, he loves other pups and is very energetic, we get lots of walks to the park and treats in this home!
“Malexy took wonderful care of our cat, Sandy. She gave thorough updates and notified us of issues, like when Sandy didn't eat food that had her medicine mixed in. She implemented solutions and told us how she addressed these issues. Her judgement on solving the problems was impeccable. We would highly recommend Malexy's services.”
“If you are looking for someone to love your pet as their own, Bridgette is your gal. There is no doubt she is an animal lover through and through. My girls were sooo soo spoiled by her for the past week. Gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. I 100% will use her again.”
About: My husband and I don’t have children, so our animals truly are our babies—and that’s exactly how I care for the pets entrusted to me. I’m the person neighbors and friends trust with their dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and everything in between. I’m high-energy, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, cuddling, cleaning up, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I also have a nursing background, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications, and handling pets who may need a little extra attention. What sets me apart is that I don’t see pet care as simply stopping by to fill a bowl. I want your animals to feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available from early mornings through evenings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine, whether that means morning or evening walks, midday check-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Because this isn’t something I’m squeezing in around another job, I’m able to be dependable and flexible with scheduling and give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m very respectful of both your pets and your home. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible. In a client’s home, that means keeping up with their usual feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you leave. I’m also happy to bring in packages, water plants, or take care of other small things while I’m there. Safety is always a priority. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, food restrictions, and interactions with other animals. With my nursing background, I’m also comfortable administering medications and paying attention to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual. Most importantly, I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give mine.
“Hope was amazing! She took great care of my dog and cat while we were on vacation. She stayed in communication if she had issues or questions. I have an anxious dog, and she took extra steps to make sure he would enjoy her visits. She always sent a few pics and an update on how the visit went. I highly recommend and will definitely use Hope again!”
“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!”
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.
“Summer is just awesome 🥰My Boys loves her.She takes care of my 3 Yorkshire terriers,walks them,feeds them,plays/cuddles them & gives one of them his insulin shots twice @ day.Highly recommended ❤️”
About: **I am a teacher and my calendar is contingent on Keller ISD school calendar.** I am available most holidays, with advance notice. I look forward to caring for your pet as my own. I’ve cared for pets all my life, from hamsters to horses. I bring experience and compassion to all I do. Our family pets, a Lab mix and senior Chiweenie, would agree. I update my schedule a month in advance. Please contact me with any questions about availability including most major holidays and weekends. Contact me for a meet-and-greet. I will care for your pets by following your care plan. While I am with your pet I will engage, pet, play and walk as per your request.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I've also worked with Wag!, where I provided reliable, attentive care for a variety of pets and built experience meeting each dog's unique needs. My professional background is in behavior analysis, so I naturally use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior while helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and confident. I have a dog of my own named Stella, a pittie who is truly my whole world. Being a pet parent myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. That's why I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, plenty of attention, and lots of love. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a consistent routine, I'm committed to providing the highest level of care. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I'm available on weekdays from 4:30 PM until late evening and have full availability on weekends. I'm also available for weekend boarding, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. If your dog prefers their own space or is crate-trained, I can easily accommodate that as well. I always follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests to help them feel as comfortable as possible. My background in behavior analysis has taught me to be patient, attentive to body language, and proactive in creating positive experiences. I also love keeping pet parents updated by sharing plenty of photos and videos, so you can see your furry friend having fun and know they're in great hands.
“Priscilla was wonderful! We have two very big dogs and they can be handful but she handled it like a pro. She cleaned up any messes they made and shared so many photos and videos of our babies. Thank you Priscilla!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. 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 familiar with making sure indoor dogs still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I walk my piggy atleast twice a day and love spending time with her — she’s my bestie girl! 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 is necessary 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 (or follow any routine they do). :) 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’ll be very attentive to your babies! It’s so important to me that they feel safe and comfortable. 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!

If you are looking for someone to love your pet as their own, Bridgette is your gal. There is no doubt she is an animal lover through and through. My girls were sooo soo spoiled by her for the past week. Gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. I 100% will use her again.
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!
Once again, our pup had an amazing time with Samantha and we felt totally at ease! She is observant, kind, trustworthy, great with animals, and excellent at communication. We wouldn’t want to use anyone else! It’s hard to be away from your pet, but having them in Samantha’s care makes it 100x easier!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Roanoke is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,419 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Roanoke. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
