About: I love all animals! I have been pet-sitting since I was in elementary school. I currently have two tuxedo cats, one of which has to be given medicine twice a day, so I am comfortable with medication administration. I recently graduated from Physician Associate School and I am waiting for the credentialing process to be completed before starting my job! So i have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own while also respecting each client’s home, routines, and instructions. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive any approved medications, get appropriate exercise and potty breaks, and have plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep their environment clean by tidying food areas, cleaning up accidents, and maintaining litter boxes or other pet spaces as needed.
About: As a dog mom of ten years, I’m very familiar with senior care, medication administration, and general care for dogs. I am very communicative and want you to feel at ease knowing your pet is getting the best quality of care. My dog had special needs and required a lot of attention and care, especially as a senior. I’ll always treat your pup like my own. I also have experience across the board with cats, rabbits, and ferrets. I love all creatures and can’t wait to meet yours! My availability varies week to week as I am a medical student. I will always do my best to accommodate your timeframe and take the best care of your fur baby. I am happy to consider transporting animals and taking care of them in my home. I have a large back and front yard ready for zoomies. I also have reliable transportation to and from your home and local parks so your fur baby can get enough attention and exercise while you are away!
“Selena was great with our cats. She did a meet and greet so I could show her how to give our diabetic cat his oral medication. Her visits were timely and she communicated very well. I would be happy to have her sit for us again.”
“Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of our babies. A situation came up and she informed us right away and she handled it very professionally until we were able to make it home. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“My cats really warmed up to Trina, and enjoyed each day that she came to take car of them. I really enjoyed all the pictures I received. She did great with the care she gave!”
“Madalyn was very responsive a great communicator. She went above and beyond to help take care of our babies! I would definitely use her again. She even stayed a little longer to make sure our senior dog ate and had time to go to the bathroom.”
About: I am an avid animal lover. So when friends, family, and friends of friends have looked for pet sitters they come to me! I have experience with dogs as little as Chihuahuas to as big as Rottweilers and we all know who is more feisty ;) I work during the week but am available for walks after 5pm. I am available for boarding all day on the weekends or during the week if your pets are low-needs during the day! I have a private 3+ acre yard with a kenneled in area if needed. I have crates for my dogs and more than happy to crate yours if needed. I am willing to accommodate most needs/request as long as you are willing to communicate!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Roanoke
AMAZING! We had two cats needing morning and evening medicated meals, and enough of a drive to make navigating opening/closing hours at a boarding facility a real pain. Jessika was able to accommodate the schedule with no difficulties. The care and attention noted in their report cards went beyond anything I hoped for, and our cats were so utterly chill when we walked in that we may as well have just popped out to the store. Highly, highly recommended!
Ellie was wonderful - she went above and beyond to care for our 3 cats while we were away for a full week. I really appreciate how much time she spent time with them during her visits. She was also very communicative and flexible with the construction chaos and contractors coming and going. Our home was very tidy when we returned and the kitties were happy. Thank you, Ellie!
Ashley was amazing! She came for an initial meet up before her check-ins and our pups took to her so fast! Even our Rotweiller with some fear aggression after a few minutes and a couple treats she was her new bestie! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies were in good hands. It was so nice seeing pictures of them at each check in and they were all smiles! Ashley took great care of them and spoiled them rotten! We came home to well taken pets. Thank you Ashley! She’s our go-to sitter!!!!
Keely was amazing! She took such great care of our 14 year diabetic cat, checking glucose levels and giving insulin. She also fed our two outdoor kitties. She sent daily photos and updates multiple times per day and followed all directions. She went well beyond what a typical pet sitter would do. We were able to enjoy our trip and relax knowing our pets were in great hands! She truly gave us a sense of security. I hope to use Keely again in the near future and highly recommend her if you need care for your furry family members!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Roanoke is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
