“Michael was great with the cats and managed to get medicine into my one kitty who usually hides from strangers! He was flexible when we had to change the meet & greet date because I was getting over COVID & when my Uber arrived early which made me forget to change the litter before I left. Would definitely hire him again when the need arises.”
“Samantha has once again proven herself to be an amazing sitter. She went above and beyond to take care of my buddy. I'll never hire anyone else if she's available.”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful. The day before leaving I had to help one of my furbabies cross the rainbow bridge, making leaving the other two THAT much harder. Rebecca sent me wonderful updates and photos and my boys loved spending time with her! I already have our next visits booked and am so thankful I can travel easily knowing my babies are well cared for and loved on.”
“Cate was punctual and met our expectations. While it was sad to leave our kitties for a week, Cate made us feel at home with them by daily updates, ensuring they are in good hands. We definitely will rehire her in the future”
“Ashley is really a pleasure to be around, and was immediately very sweet with our cats from the moment we met her. She is a wonderful pet sitter, careful to update us on everything, easy to communicate with, very loving to our pets, and respectful of our home. We hope to be repeat clients!”
“Mallory did an amazing job with both my pets! And she was super flexible when an emergency came up and we couldn't get home for another day and helped us out there! Would highly recommend!”
“Jessika is so great with Beau! He's always entertained, loved and spoiled with her. She gives him little massages which puts him right to sleep! Definitely would recommend her for your pet needs.”
“Niki took great care of our two cats and sent me cute descriptions of what they got up to during her visits. The cats took to her fairly quickly, even the shy one. Highly recommend!”
“Heather is dependable and has done a great job taking care of our dogs. This is the third time we’ve had her sit for us and I’m relieved to have someone I can count on. Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for a quite a few years, and absolutely love them! I'm good at cleaning messes or just having fun with pets to keep them company. I've had experience ranging from puppies to elderly dogs, and a variety of cats, too. I am currently working full-time, so I can take care of pets early in the morning (before 9am) and any time after work (5pm). I am usually available any time on weekends as long as I am scheduled in advance. I always make sure to keep the pets I take care of in my sight, which ensures their safety. I also am able to communicate well with the owners of pets in case of emergency. My top priority is health and safety (and then enjoyment for the pet).
“I've known Erica for YEARS. She's a truly kind, sweet person who genuinely loves animals 🩷. This was her first time watching my doggie, but hopefully won't be her last. Peanut loves Erica and her son so much! They took great care of her. I had one happy (and tired ☺️) baby when I got home!”
“Ashley was fantastic. She was patient with Sam and kept me from feeling anxious with regular updates and photos. Highly recommended, and I look forward to working with her again!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life from cats, dogs, snakes, and birds. I currently have a sweet rescue, and caring for her has only deepened my love and understanding of pets especially those who need extra patience and kindness. I’ve been around many breeds and temperaments, so I understand every animal is unique. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like family because that’s exactly what they are to me! I have complete availability to tailor to you and your pets needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom adding some extra time in for what I love to do most! I stick to your pet’s routine to help them feel safe and relaxed. I provide daily walks, playtime, feedings, medication (if needed), and even baths when requested. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care just like they would with you!
“Jazmin was a fantastic cat sitter. This was the second time that we worked with her and I hope to work with her again in the future as both times she has been reliable and kind. She sent photos and updates after each meal. And when we returned home house was clean and neat and the cats were happy. She clearly took great care of them. Thank you, Jazmin!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Emily! She cared for my two cats for 5 days while I was away visiting family. She was incredibly thorough during our meet and greet, taking detailed notes about the cats and asking clarifying questions about their care. She even offered to water my plants and check the mail while I was gone, which while not expected, was incredibly thoughtful and a huge help! After each check-in, she would send a detailed report of how each check-in went, and gave me cute updates and photos of the cats and their daily adventures! I would recommend Emily for anyone looking for pet care in the Roanoke area, she treats them like her own and is so incredibly detail-oriented. Truly above and beyond!”
About: I love animals and have lots of experience taking care of them. I have three furry members in my family--two cats and a dog. All of our animals were adopted from shelters when they were under one-year-old, so I have experience taking care of puppies, dogs, and kittens. I have volunteered at animal rescues, and so also have experience taking care of cats. Of course, I will take care of the basics like feeding and walks, but I will also make sure that your pups and cats are engaged and comfortable in our home. I will treat your furry family member with the same care I give to my own! I am home all the time! I will be available to take pups for walks, or attend to cats who need some play time, whenever I am needed. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to play in, and a large house for cats to run around. Our pup is about thirty pounds and very friendly. The cats stay in the house but have the run of the whole house, save the basement and the attic. I live very close to a dog park and can easily take dogs there.

I was quite pleased with Scott taking care of my cat Ruby. From the pictures he sent, she seemed happy with him as well. Scott fed and gave Ruby her meds as instructed. I would recommend Scott for your pet care and will use him again in the future. Thank you very much Scott!!
