About: I have years of first hand experience taking care of dogs. I have two labs of my own, Remington (12 year old charcoal) and Gunner (3 year old yellow). Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. As the owner of two labs, my days already include feedings, walks, tummy rubs and companionship. With my background in Law Enforcement, you will have reliability, dependability, observation, safety consciousness and attention to detail, when it comes to your loved pets.
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: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.
“Lauren is fantastic! We were nervous to hire a sitter for the first time, but it was clear that our babies had a blast while we were gone. We have a cat who usually hides in the closet whenever friends come over to watch him, but he actually came out and let Lauren give him scritches! Her communication was great, she was reliable, and we always knew our pets were doing well.”
About: i will care for your pup as if they were my own. i have a pup of my own who will adore yours as well! i work from home everyday so i can accommodate your pups needs easily and i work with any schedule or regiment the pup may need. i live in an apartment which does not offer a fenced in backyard, so your pup will go on lots of walks and explore many parts of the city.
About: I have three fur babies, golden retriever x2, and a blue heeler mix. Having animals is such pure joy. The dogs run the home, I just live here! Dog hair and slobbery kisses … I wouldn’t want it any different. My fur babies are happy and very generous to other animals. We have fun here. So bring your dog over, let them jump on the couch, and play with my pups! I work part time, but have a very flexible schedule. I have two boys at home that would give your pups all the love they need. I have a small fenced in yard for your pups. We enjoy talking walks, and playing fetch. My fur babies are the sweetest things and will get along with your pups!
About: I am currently a veterinary assistant and have 8 years experience along with also having my own animals since I was little. I am experienced with special needs pets, puppies, seniors, and I do also have a bearded dragon so I am open to dragon care. I have no doubt that I would be your pets next best friend! I currently work full time but My schedule allows me to be there for mornings, lunchtime breaks, in the evenings starting at 6:30 and of course throughout the night. I am off one day a week, most weekends, and with me getting off at 6:30 I will have plenty of time to play with and love on your fur-baby. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can safely play in a secured space. I do take the precaution's of letting your fur-baby safely meet my own 3 dogs through a baby gate just to get to know each other before the play begins. I will treat your fur-baby as if they were my own. I do require Vaccine information for pets boarding in my home to ensure the safety of my own 3 dogs.

Gabby has been one of our "puppy nannies" for our golden retriever pup Ollie who is now 4 months old. She has been providing consistent, reliable and excellent drop in care 2 days a week for 2 months now. She is so sweet, kind and has an obvious love for animals that she 1000% shares with our fur baby. I NEVER worry about Ollie when it's "Gabby day"! Thank you Gabby, we love having you!
Rylee has been such a blessing to help with my new rescue dog, Holden. He is happy to walk or play with Rylee. She is helping Holden learn more manners while walking. Rylee is prompt, sweet and really has a passion for helping animals. We feel grateful for her checking in on Holden while I work a 10 hour shift.
Hannah is fantastic! She did a drop in for my dogs, who are notoriously picky about who they like. And I’m relatively very uneasy about who I allow to watch my dogs. Hannah’s calm but confident personality, mixed with my dog’s instant love for her, quickly squashed those worries. We will definitely be rebooking with Hannah for our future drop ins or overnight travels!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Roanoke choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
