“Mia is great with Petie & he loves every time she comes to walk him. He's had dental issues which meant he had to wear muzzle. Mia was great at ensuring he wore it on their walks. She keeps me advised on anything that arises on their walk & is a pleasure to have.”


About: I’ve cared for animals, dogs and cats, since childhood. I’m very comfortable around animals, and love helping them get the care and attention they need. I am a stay at home mom, so this fits into an already open schedule. I’m available mornings and afternoons with my son joining me. I treat every animal with respect and love. I look to the owner for specific desires of care since it is your pet I’m watching!
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 available seven days a week 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.

About: **new to Rover discount!! Limited time** Since I was little, dog walking has been one of my favorite things. I was the kid who would walk up to the barking dog to pet it and say hi. They would quiet down for me even then. Now, I specialize in public access training with German Shepherds and other extra large breeds. Every dog has a story, and I love meeting each one. My animals are family. It is a joy and honor to me to take care of your family too. I am here to support you and your schedule. With a full time job working from home, I am free to work with you to make sure your dog has what they need. Safety in your home and for your dog is my top priority. I will spend time getting to know your dog, and our time will be oriented around your routine with them.
“She went out of her way to let me know that my dog would not go for a walk. She notified me to let me know because she was worried that something might be wrong. Turns out that it was around the Fourth of July. My dog has simply been spooked by the fireworks. She was reassured, and happily offered to play with her in her backyard. My sweet girl was delighted with the alternative playtime. I appreciate her a quick communication and concern for my darling.”
