Doggy Day Care in Roanoke

“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!”

“Our previous sitter told me they are moving, which prompted me to search for a new sitter. I decided to try Rebecca, and am I glad I did! I was happy with our first sitter, but LuLu spent her time there just sniffing their yard and snuggling up on the couch with the sitter. She barely ate and wouldn't play with their dog. It was such a delight to see how happy LuLu was at Rebecca's place. She ran around the yard like I haven't seen her do since she was a puppy. When Rebecca thought LuLu needed a rest and brought her inside, LuLu whined to go back out, so out she went for more running around! Finally, she took a nap on the couch, then got up and ate all of her dinner. Then she settled down chewing on her toy until we came back for her. She was happy to see us, but gave Rebecca a tail wag when they said goodbye. I'm so glad LuLu found a place where she can thrive when we're gone. Now I won't hesitate to book a vacation! Rebecca was very attentive to the history I gave her about LuLu and my instructions about her routine and fears. We did a Meet & Greet on short notice, and Rebecca showed LuLu and me her back yard and inside her house. She assured me that she would never give LuLu an opportunity to run away. The way Rebecca gave me updates all day long assured me that LuLu was being well cared for and was having a great time. Rebecca is definitely Lulu's new sitter. I couldn't be happier with her care.”

“Shelby kindly accepted our last-minute request for a half-day daycare and took great care of Sancho. He seemed to have a wonderful time, and Shelby kept us updated with a photo. Thank you so much, Shelby!”

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.

“Josh and the family did a great job keeping the boys today and they had a great time.”

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.

“Penny and Evan were great with our little “high anxiety” fur baby. During the “meet and greet” Penny had us come in and take him straight to the fenced back yard where he could sniff around and go to the bathroom. Knowing about his anxiety, once we went back inside, Penny never tried to pet him, she just allowed him to get used to her being in the room. She was a very calming presence for him. Evan likewise was patient with him and allowed him the time it took to settle and get comfortable. We are thrilled to have found Penny and Even and the bonus is that they live about 4 minutes from our house! We have already booked the next daycare appointment!”

About: Hello and thanks for considering me to care for your pampered pet. My name is Laurie. I am a work at home mom and avid animal lover. I have spent 20 years rescuing, loving and caring for not only my own beloved pets, but for friends and neighbors as well. I also have fosters or rescues stay for a bit from time to time. I will provide everything necessary to ensure your fur baby is safe, well cared for and loved during their time with me. I offer your pet individual attention and treatment similar to what they receive with you so they feel safe, happy and comfortable. If you allow, they can sleep in the bed, on the couch, on the floor or in a kennel if thats what they are accustomed to. They can be fed on a schedule or food can be left down. They get plenty of petting, snuggles and play time while with me. We may play fetch, play with toys, go for a walk, chew bones and enjoy treats periodically. I try to keep the routine as close to yours as possible. Not something a kennel can provide. I am self employed and work from a laptop, so my schedule is extremely flexible to accommodate your needs. Just let me know what your needs are. I offer boarding in my home as well as drop in and overnight stays in yours to make things as easy as possible for you.

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and 15 years of experience caring for pets. I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and compassionate care to every pet I meet. I grew up with animals and currently have a three-year-old dog whom I trained myself, making me confident in basic obedience training. I have hands-on experience with dogs, including basic training, socialization, and understanding canine body language. I’ve also cared for multiple cats and appreciate their independent yet affectionate nature. From playtime and snuggles to maintaining feeding routines and administering medication when needed, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs active engagement, gentle companionship, or a structured routine, I’m here to provide the care they deserve. As a full-time graduate student in a virtual program, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight boarding, I have plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding both during the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate your travel or work schedule. With the ability to be home throughout the day, I can ensure your pet gets regular companionship, exercise, and care. Whether they need structured routines or just lots of cuddles, I’m here to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away. I provide a loving and secure environment for pets in my home, with a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely. I also have a friendly, well-socialized three-year-old poodle who enjoys the company of other dogs, making for great companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that means plenty of playtime, structured routines, or a quiet space to relax. If needed, I can easily crate your dog for sleeping or downtime to match their usual routine. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Chloe was really great to work with our big dog. He has separation anxiety and can be a nervous and shy dog. She did a meet and greet beforehand, listened and asked questions about him. She also sent lots of photos and updates on his first day to make sure we knew he had settled and was doing okay. Really great experience to have for our 80lbs sensitive boy. Thank you!”

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.

About: I am a lover of animals! As someone who travels as well I know how it can feel to leave your fur babies so it is important that there is communication and love for them while you are gone! My goal is to make you feel secure leaving for a day, a weekend or more and come back seamlessly! I am a teacher of 15 years however am taking a year off a using Rover as my go to! So I am available for early morning visits, mid afternoon and evening. My weekend availability varies due to my own traveling. Good news is summer will be wide open! Also prices are subject to adjustment based on mileage to per owner location. New clients to Rover ask me about my discount code! I have two super friendly and energetic dogs for those interested in dog boarding (I can take up to one dog at a time but unfortunately no cats 🐈). My pets are like my children so I am very protective and attentive to them. You will receive updates on all visits and photos!

“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!!”
