Doggy Day Care in Roanoke

“Samantha watched my dog Howard for a day and she sent me pics and updates that he was doing well during his visit. He's nervous with new people, but warmed up to Samantha and her family well so I would definitely use her services again!”

“Kimberly was absolutely phenomenal and so kind! Our senior fur baby has a lot of extra needs, so we’ve always put date days aside to ensure we wouldn’t have to leave her home alone. From the first text interaction with Kimberly to meeting in person - we knew that we found someone we could trust! We got picture updates throughout the day, and each care instruction we provided was taken very serious. We will definitely be trusting Kimberly with our fur baby in the future. Thank you SO much!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I have watched over friends, family and neighbors pets, including a blind diabetic dog who requires insulin shots twice a day. I have had Pitbulls, Great Danes, Mastiffs, a three legged cat, and everything in between under my care. I will treat your pets like they are my own. My pets sleep with me and on every piece of furniture I own. I have cared for pets with complex feeding/diet regimens and physical limitations and exercise requirements. No pet is too difficult or needy in my book. I understand that each animal is special and requires a unique tailored approach. I can assure you that I will take care of your animals just as they are my own and will try to be there for them just as you are there for them. I have also worked with dogs and cats that have separation anxiety and other phobias and or conditions and always do what I can to make the experience as stress-free as possible for any animal in my care. I can provide references upon request to help ease your mind that your pets will be in great hands! Pet care is my sole responsibility and job. It takes priority over anything else. I currently have a blind diabetic dog that has to be fed at 7am and 3:30pm and has to have insulin shots at 7:15am and 3:45pm everyday. Other than that I am available all day, every day to care for any pets under my responsibility. I have a fenced in yard with a porch that is half covered. I have two living areas separated by a permanent gate if any animals in my care need to be separated from other animals. I have a lockable dog door that can be completely locked, on a timer, or set to be wide open depending on what level of freedom you want your pets to have for accessing the yard and porch. My couch and bed are pet friendly. I have a cat tree and a room dedicated for cats. I have multiple beds and pet bed with washable covers that can be used by any pet in my care. I can customize a walking schedule for your pet and can come to your house and watch/walk your dog where they are most comfortable, at home. I have a pet friendly car and as long as your dog is friendly towards other animals I have no problem taking your dog to a park or dog park if that is something you and your dog would be interested in. I am very comfortable giving insulin shots to dogs and giving medicine to most pets, cats that have a hard time accepting medications are open for discussion. If your animals have special needs I am happy to try to accommodate. Please don't hesitate to ask. I will send you pictures and updates on your pets the entire time they are in my care. My goal is to make you but more importantly your pet feel safe and loved while you are away.

About: I've had a 91 lb labradoodle from puppy to now for about 4 years. I've also been told that my cat adopted me about 1.5 years ago. My dog is a happy go lucky guy who's never met a person or animal he didn't like. My cat is about 15 years old and requires injectable medication twice a day, so nothing scares me when it comes to medication. I've taken care of the odd African Grey Parrot from time to time as well. I take my dog out every morning, lunch time and several times in the evening for walks and play. Our cat needs medicine twice a day that requires an injection so I'm well versed in providing medication and taking care of animals with special needs. There's a giant pop up blocking what this field is meant to say but it's saying I have to fill it in, perhaps I can update it later when the pop up is gone.

“Mazie felt very comfortable with Heidi right away. We did a meet and greet a week prior to ease my nerves as well. I got an update part-way through her daycare visit and she was a happy pup when I returned. I plan to use Heidi again.”

“Rene is such a sweetheart and was wonderful with our pups! She sent photos while we were gone and they looked so happy. She is a fantastic communicator and we would absolutely use her again if we need a dog sitter. Thank you Rene!!”

About: Ever since my first dog walking job at 12 years old I have loved and cared for all pets. I have tons of experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, birds, snakes, and more; and lovingly called dogs, cats, birds, and horses my family members. In my multiple home sitting forays, I have cared for and maintained plants, landscapes, hot tubs, pools, and the home itself as well as the pets that live there. Throughout my life I have run my own business with landscape and home maintenance as well as pet sitting. I look forward to meeting your pet and caring for your furry family, home and plant friends!! I am very flexible at this time. For longer term in-house home or pet sitting, in most cases my small kitty Pita would come with me and stay in a separate room with me. I am also currently somewhat nomadic working remotely, so can stay in many locales (focused on NY, NJ, VA, NC or FL, but again very flexible if needed). I would not be able to take clients in my home. In a client's home, it would depend on what is needed and requested, and that would dictate the type of care given.
