Dog Walking in Roanoke

“Thank you for going above and beyond to spend the time taking our crazy girl all the way around the pond! Sorry if she tried to drag you in the whole walk but it’s so helpful for her to get the exercise when I don’t have time! She came home a very happy puppy!!”

Susan S.

“She is absolutely FANTASTIC! I can tell she really cares for my pup and is so thoughtful and flexible. I highly recommend!!”

“Gussie did a wonderful job taking care of Simba, our geriatric Lionhead bunny. She was on time, followed instructions and was excellent in helping us during a stressful time.”

“Zoe was great! She was always on-schedule and was very patient with my weird little girl. She does things like hiding when it's time to go out and then pulling a LOT once you finally get her out. But Zoe never complained and always hung around with the baby for a few minutes of love and play after the walk. My schedule has changed and no longer need a dog-walker, but if I ever need one again, will definitely look for her!”

“Jessica was my lifesaver!!!! I injured my knee and was suddenly unable to walk my dog. She was available on short notice and responded quickly. I was in such a panic but she reassured me that she would take great care of my baby! She was flexible, patient, and kind. I had the worst day and I was being so spastic and crazy and she was sooo sweet to me. I am thankful to have found her . My dog absolutely loved her! She took notes about specific things concerning his care, and she followed all instructions given and had a successful walk with him! She took him to the park, his favorite place :) I am so thankful that Jessica has experience with large breeds and was able to handle my 70 lb dog. She sent me updates and pictures which helped my bad day get soo much better and put my mind at ease seeing my dog so happy and in great hands! She is reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely have her continue walking my dog until my leg heals (and after that too!) Thank you Jessica- you are the absolute best !!!”

“Shan was awesome with Bear & Rosie! Bear can be a bit shy and standoffish at first, but she was patient with him to gain his trust (which is very rare nowadays). She sent lots of pics, did the full time walk & even more. She relayed any questions or concerns promptly. Did great, would definitely book again”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 16. I match my energy with the dog to make sure they’re not over or underwhelmed, and to make sure that we both have a great time while some of their favorite humans are away! I’ll work with a client on how they would like their pet to be taken care of within their own home, and I will respect boundaries and the client’s space! I provide pictures, updates, and will work with the owner and pet to ensure everyone is happy :) I work full time but I have siblings at home that would be able to help take your pet out to use the restroom, go on a walk, or play! My siblings and parents enjoy animals so if I would need any help there would be no worry. I live in a house with a large front yard and backyard, so your dog will be able to have their own space, as well as a space outside to play and run around to get out their energy.

About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life! I grew up around dogs and cats and other domestic and farm animals and always had a deep love for these creatures. I started pet sitting and house sitting at 15 years old, and once I turned 18 and had my own place, I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have fostered and rescued over 50 animals. My son and I currently have 2 large rescue dogs, Jinx & Versace (5&6 years old) and are in between rescues. We would love to have the opportunity to love on your fur baby while you’re at work or on vacation and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you are away! All types of dogs and cats welcome! I work from home (we have a 2 story house with a fenced yard- not sure why the app says apartment) and am able to be with your fur baby all day, provide fresh food and water and walks or outside activities continuously throughout the day! I make sure your animals are fed, given fresh water and exercised regularly as well as provide them with lots of love and cuddles so they feel safe and welcome and don’t get too homesick while you are gone!

About: Hi All, I've grown up with pet cats my whole life, and would take care of neighborhood pets all throughout middle school through to college. Including watching neighborhood cats and walking dogs. Would love to spend time with your pet and make sure they are safe and loved while you are out of town, or check in during the work day. I'm new to pet sitting through an official site, but have lots of experience caring through pets through word of mouth, neighbors, and friends. Both my childhood cat, and my current cat have needed meds, so I have experience administering medications. We also have a 10-month old puppy. I'm used to walking him downtown, and working on training at home together. Small story for reference - I took care of one super shy kitty for a neighbor. The owner said it was okay if I never actually saw them since they are shy. After a couple days the kitty started coming out of hiding and hanging out with me :) Their owner said their cat had never come out for anyone else before. I WFH and have a flexible schedule. Can do drop-ins anytime during the day. I'm also available for dog walks if close to my apartment. Here for cat sitting and small animals! Can't take animals in my own home because I have an elderly cat, but happy to do drop-in visits to hang out with your pet while you're away!

About: I provide in- home pet care services including daily check-ins, feedings, litterbox, cage and kennel cleaning. I also provide overnight and long term vacation care! I send clients text, photos and videos with updates of behavior, mood and playfulness! I provide daily housekeeping and deep house cleaning for vacations and overnight care. I have a list of trusted references with contact information if needed! I am a licensed hairstylist so I am in the salon Tuesdays- Thursdays from 10am- 7:30pm but can come before work during the day at 1pm and then again after work! I am off every Friday- Monday and can provide flexibility in schedule and can provide last minute services for emergencies! I send texts, photos and videos daily! Clients also get updates with notes about playfulness, moods and behavior! I have experience with dogs who need to be put in crates. I also have experience with dogs who need to be put on a leads in the yard!

About: hey y’all! I’m a Roanoke native that loves animals and the outdoors. I grew up with dogs, cats, and chickens, and I’ve fostered three cats. I’ll treat your pets and your home with great care; animal care is something I take seriously and I believe it’s important for pet owners to have peace of mind when they are away. Look no further for a responsible and reliable adult to care for your animals. “If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit.” At the moment I’m only available on weekends for dogsitting. My weekday schedule is somewhat flexible for drop-in visits or dogwalking. Feel free to inquire. I’m not able to have pets in my own home, but I can provide continuity of care while you are away. The services I offer include dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasionally, pet sitting (including regular walks and feeding). I am happy to accommodate pets with special needs whenever possible.

“she was very polite and aware of the dogs needs, definitely stayed in touch with me the whole time which made me feel safer. Definitely will be rebooking with her! Give her a chance, you won’t regret it.”

“Jessica is awesome! Prompt and professional... very friendly too. Will definitely be using her services again! Thanks jessica.”

About: I’ve worked previously in a doggie daycare/boarding/grooming facility as well as petsitting growing up. I’ve been a Cross-trained veterinary assistant for the past 10 years at both an exotic and cat/dog clinic AAHA affiliated. I worked for a non-profit animal clinic/adoption center as a veterinary assistant and adoption administrator. I’ve continued to petsit over the years regularly for dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds, horses, etc. Animals truly are my passion ♥️ I’m now working as a vet assistant and pharmacy technician. I have animal nursing skills, can stay overnight with your fur babies. I have some training skills from assisting with the Saint Francis Service dogs when they entered our clinic. I’m currently work as a veterinary assistant part time, and pharmacy technician full time. I can still stop in up to 3 times a day on my working days. I’m extremely flexible and strive to make your pets feel as comfortable as they are when you are home with them! I love to eat, sleep, and breath pet care. Petsitting is a huge passion of mine and I’d want the same for my fur babies. My husband also loves to help me out because he loves petsitting as much as I do. I love my long-term clients, but love meeting new people and can help out spur of the moment a lot of the time. I live at home with my husband, Siberian Husky, Husky Doodle, and one cat. I enjoy taking walks, hiking, and can always come to your house! I have a SUV and can transport pups to the park if your house isn’t nearby one.

About: Hello my name is Ashley and my lifestyle is perfect for your every need! I worked in a vet clinic in High School, and in a pet supply distributor after college at Auburn University. I have always had a way with animals: active, sick, older, etc. I want and can work with them and help them thrive. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years- walking , caring for, and loving other people's pets. With a flexible schedule I work from home and I have my own car. I am happy to bathe and or brush your animals, but cannot use clippers or scissors or do nails. I am looking forward to meeting you, and your pets since I have none of my own it will fill that void. My family and I cant wait to meet you soon. I am always available. We are able to be home all the time with the family and have a flexible schedule. We would like to include your pet into the day while you are away. I have a fenced yard and a house perfect for pets. We are always here as a family to care for any needs. We include them as if they were our own, or our families pets. We haven’t had the time to commit to getting a new pet and we miss having one so much we would rather you leave them with us to love on then have them be alone.

“Eve is phenomenal with my little pup! She takes fabulous care of her while we’re away and she is so sweet and so so kind! We absolutely love her an are so glad we found her!”

About: Hi, my name is Jaz and I’m a 3rd year medical student with VCOM. Dogs and cats have my heart! I was fortunate enough to foster dogs since I was 16, which has given me a deep appreciation for rescue shelters and the second chances they give to find homes. I will do everything I can to ease any anxieties from either you or your pet! I will send lots of update pictures, perhaps even more than you may want😆 For the past few years, I’ve been a sitter on Rover and love caring for both dogs and cats! I'm very attentive with your pets, so it's a guarantee that you will come back home to a happy animal😊 I also have experience with administering medication and elderly dogs and that came through the shelter, so I’m confident I can be the perfect person for you! I end school at varying times in the afternoon, but can come visit before, or after. Please message me for for some more detailed information! I can give your pet as much space or physical touch as needed! Having fostered many dogs before, I understand that each dog will have different love languages and will respect that😊 I can easily take them for a walk, feed them, gives treats, or crate as needed!

About: Why hello there! The Hallie guarantee is as follows: I will give your pet the care, love, and fun that I would give my own. I recognize the stress that comes with trusting a stranger with your pets, and I am committed to providing comfort for both you and your pet. I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember and have experience with numerous breeds and energy levels. I work from home Mon-Thurs until 3pm but can be available for a lunchtime walk. I’m available all day Fri-Sun. I’m familiar with the requirements of constant attention to pets. I’m on call 24/7 for my 2 year old German shepherd, Mellie. She’s a lovely, amazing high energy working dog with a hefty owner’s manual. I’m used to my schedule accommodating the highs and lows of pet care. I get how dogs can feel about a stranger in their home, and same for their owners. I’ll follow whatever house rules you’ve got, and respect your dog’s personal space. I’m working to fully understand dog body language & stress indicators, and how to adapt my own behavior appropriately. I don’t offer boarding services at my home - my dog isn’t dog-friendly. I don’t offer overnight housesitting either - I prefer not to leave my dog overnight unless I can find a sitter for her.

About: My family owned a poodle for many years so I have experience taking care of dogs for most of my life! I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on many different occasions and enjoy spending time with the pups! I am currently working for the second half of the week typically and have free time on other days all day to give dogs long, good, walks I currently have a large fenced yard in which your dog will be able to run around freely and enjoy the grass, sun, and shade.
