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.
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.
“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!”
“Amanda was amazing! Stitch loved her and was so very well taken care of, exceeded my expectations for using Rover for the first time while away for vacation. Would recommend and use her again 1000%”
About: I used to work at Trophy Club Animal Hospital from 2022 to 2024. I have been pet sitting since 2023 for people and family friends around the area and they really trust me with their pets due to my vet experience. I am about to start my junior year of college at Texas Christian University and will be living at home to commute to campus for classes. I am available to house sit while in the fall semester. I currently work at ASI gymnastics in Keller MTWF night and Saturday mornings. I am widely available for pet sitting during the entire week When housesitting I will feed and give water as well as medication if need to the animal. I will also play with them and take them on walks if requested. I also give them ample time outside to go potty.
“Penny was awesome! She really put my mind at ease and we were so thankful to be able to do a meet and greet before we left for the weekend. We’ve never had a pet sitter before and I wasn’t sure how one of my dogs would react. Both my pups were happy when we got home and it’s so nice to know that we can go places without worrying about how we are going to work coverage for the dogs.”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the combination of reliability, patience, and personalized care I bring to every pet and family I work with. I treat every animal like they’re my own, paying close attention to their routines, comfort, and personality so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I make time in my schedule to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to following each pet’s normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and house rules. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners always know their pets are safe and happy! Safety is always my top priority. I carefully supervise pets during walks and playtime, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure pets are never put into stressful or unsafe situations.
“Kimberly is always so great to work with. My family and I know that our pups well cared for when she’s coming to help care for them. My pups love her and so do we!”

I maintain a clean, safe environment and always focus on making your pet feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you are away.
“You would be mistaken to not use Katie for your pets! Right before our scheduled booking, we had a medical event with one of our dogs. We explained the situation to Katie and she handled it perfectly. We felt so much more comfortable knowing Katie was watching him when we couldn’t. We will definitely be using Katie in the future.”

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!

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 July 2026, there are 8,718 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
- 97% 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.
