“Kim was fantastic, as always! She even stopped by my house an extra day (which was not planned) to make sure my kitty was okay. She always goes above and beyond. We never hesitate booking with her!”
“Wendy is always fantastic with our pets. She goes above and beyond scooping litter boxes and going on walks with the dog. She is the real deal. Well definitely have her back as long as she’ll have us.”
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!
About: I have professional experience working with dogs in structured daycare settings, including as a Canine Coach at Dogtopia. I managed playrooms of up to 35–40 dogs at a time and worked with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m comfortable reading dog body language, supporting safe group play, and staying calm and confident with both high-energy and anxious dogs. I also worked with Southlake Crittercare as a dog driver and handler, safely transporting dogs to and from daycare and assisting with playgroups organized by energy level and play style. In both roles, I cared for boarding dogs and handled daily routines such as feeding and administering medications. Paying close attention to individual needs and keeping dogs comfortable and secure was always a priority. Outside of my professional roles, I’ve provided in-home and overnight pet sitting for friends and family over the years. This includes caring for a home with four Basset Hounds of varying ages, including senior dogs requiring multiple medications. I understand how important consistency and clear communication are when someone else is caring for your pets.
“Abbygale goes above and beyond to make sure our kitty is well taken care of and safe when we’re traveling. She’s the best and I truly appreciate her dependability, kindness and trustworthiness.”
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 did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats! She communicated well and handled our boys’ particular meal routines with ease. She also took the sweetest pictures! We will absolutely be calling her back.”
“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 ❤️”
“Haylle did a great job taking care of our cat during a week long vacation. Our cat is super shy with strangers, but surprisingly warmed up to Haylle in just a day! We will definitely rebook.”
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.
“Jada did absolutely amazing watching out puppers while out of town. Received lovely check in photos and feedback regarding the dogs. She gave such tender love and care to them and our home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone you can trust while your away.”
“Samantha did such a great job visiting my cats who are very demanding. She really does a thorough and reliable job and is very kind. She communicates in a timely fashion which is great”
About: I’m passionate about keeping both people and their dogs happy, active, and healthy! As a proud Texas Husky parent for 12 years, I know firsthand how much exercise high-energy dogs need. I’m building a fun, active community where dogs can get the exercise and adventure they need while their humans feel confident they’re in good hands. I’d love to help your pup stay active, happy, and well-loved! When I visit your dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime! Whether that means a walk around the neighborhood, an energetic game of fetch, or some active playtime, I’ll tailor each visit to your dog’s energy level and needs. My goal is to make sure your pup gets moving, has fun, and is happy and relaxed by the time I leave! If I’m visiting your home, the focus will be on making sure your dog gets a chance to stretch their legs, get some fresh air, and enjoy some activity. Depending on your pup’s routine and comfort level, we can spend time playing in the backyard or take a walk around the neighborhood. I’ll make sure they get some movement, attention, and plenty of love!
“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 always had a special love for animals and believe our pets are truly part of the family! As a proud owner of both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in loving, trustworthy hands. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and sizes. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a slower pace with plenty of affection, I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and care. I’m familiar with the everyday responsibilities of pet ownership, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own while providing you with peace of mind when you’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for caring for pets throughout the week. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine, and I truly enjoy it! I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether your pet needs a little extra attention during the day or someone to care for them while you’re away, I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works for everyone. My goal is to make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and quality care! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe in providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine, including feeding instructions, exercise, potty breaks, and any special care requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of your space and do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. Communication is also very important to me! I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
About: For over three years, I had the joy of caring for two sweet dogs—Bear, a 20 lb poodle-Maltese mix, and Teddy, a 12 lb Maltese. They were part of my little family, and I truly loved them with all my heart. Every day, I walked them, fed them, played with them, and gave them lots of cuddles. I took them to the vet, made sure they stayed healthy, and kept them looking their best with regular grooming. They slept with me, followed me around the house, and brought so much happiness into my life. Even after my boyfriend and I separated, I still visit them often and care for them when he’s away. They’re still a huge part of my life. Through them, I fell completely in love with dogs. I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily care, giving meds, and comforting anxious. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I always give pets the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like family—because that’s what they are to me. I’m a student at North Lake College, and outside of my classes, I have lots of free time during the week to care for pets. I absolutely love spending that time with animals—it’s something that brings me joy and never feels like “work.” I do have a part-time job on the weekends, but I’m still available most weekends, especially if we plan ahead. Whether it’s weekday walks, drop-ins, or weekend cuddles, I’m happy to help care for your furry family whenever I can! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety always come first. I treat every pet like family—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs and routines. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping a calm environment, or giving them lots of affection. If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and peaceful for your pet. If your pup stays with me, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space to feel at home, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervision. I also pay close attention to any special instructions, like giving medication, handling anxiety, or following training routines. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like one of my own every step of the way.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roanoke
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
