Rebecca took such good care of my anxious dog while I was away for 2 weeks. I got constant pictures of my girlie smiling and playing. And I came home to my home looking very clean and tidy. Highly recommend her services!!

Brianna did a great job with our two dogs! One of our dogs takes a while to warm up to new people and he immediately seemed to be comfortable with her. She did a wonderful job sending routine updates and really made sure our dogs were well taken care of. We will definitely use Brianna again!

Heather stayed with Zelda during our trip overseas, and was easy to communicate with despite the 12 hour time difference. We received lots of pictures and it seemed like Zelda was able to do all her favorite things with Heather while we were away, thank you!

Kiersten was an absolute angel. Bru unexpectedly got very sick and she was there communicating every step of the way, even taking her to the ER at 1am. Went above and beyond boiling chicken / rice and giving her scheduled medications. I will be back and encourage anyone to book Kiersten so you can relax and know your loved one(s) are in AMAZING hands. Thank you, K!! 💙

Lucy was great. No worries. She survived watching our three dogs - all of whom had some sort of stomach issue while we were gone. She had everything cleaned up and certainly went over and above. Sorry, Lucy...

Megan took care of my 3 dogs and house sat for me while we were on vacation the past 10 days. She sent me beautiful photos and I could tell my babies were being pampered and well cared for. I told her she could bring her own dog too, and the four of them became fast friends- Remy especially is gonna miss Hadley! Came home to happy dogs and a sparking clean house, everything was perfect. Megan was friendly and responsive to questions. I’d definitely book her again! If you need a fun, caring dog sitter, Megan is the one!!

Aelish was wonderful with our pups! She communicated quickly, took great care of our house and animals, and went above and beyond in many ways (watering our plants, cleaning, etc.). She was our first rover experience and we will be using her for all of our house sitting needs moving forward. We get uneasy being out of town leaving our animals and with Aelish we are completely confident our babies are in great hands!

About: Hello, my name is Kim, and I have spent most of my life in Roanoke, VA along with a few years in Florida. I am available full-time to care for your pets. I have extensive experience with larger dogs, having raised a Rottweiler, Cane Corso, and now a Golden Retriever. Previously, I worked at City Dogs in SW Roanoke, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Although I started by pet-sitting for family, I now have my own home with a fenced-in backyard, allowing me to care for more dogs. As a full-time online student at Virginia Western, I am home most of the time, providing flexible pick-up and drop-off times. While I prefer not to do pick-ups/drop-offs before 8 AM and after 10 PM, I understand that flights can be delayed and other circumstances arise, so I strive to accommodate your needs. For meet-and-greets, I try to be as flexible as possible, scheduling around my busy times to ensure a calm environment for your pet. Requirements: To ensure the health and safety of all pets in my care, I require up-to-date vaccination records for all dogs. This is non-negotiable, as the well-being of all our guests is our top priority. My own pets vaccination records are available for your review on her . Feeding Schedule: Feeding times are typically around 7-8 AM and 6-7 PM, with an additional lunchtime feeding at 12-1 PM for those who eat three times a day. I am happy to adhere to your pet’s specific feeding schedule. Dogs are fed separately to prevent accidents, and I allow an hour of rest after eating to prevent bloating. Please inform me of any allergies, as I provide a variety of treats and enjoy making frozen lick pads. What to Bring: Please bring your dog’s food to avoid upsetting their stomach with a sudden change in diet. I do have extra food and I have my pup so we always have food just in case! Additionally, bringing a dog bed, blanket, or toys that smell like home can help them settle in. I have extra bowls, beds, and toys, so don’t worry if you can’t bring everything. While I don’t have crates, you’re welcome to bring one if your dog is crate-trained or prefers to sleep in it. Daily Routine: My goal is to keep the dogs happy and stimulated. We aim for 8-10 hours of outdoor play and socialization, with indoor cool-down periods to prevent overheating. I also play soothing music to help anxious dogs relax. Treats are given after cool-down periods, and we use this time to practice commands and keep them mentally engaged. Important Note: I do not accept dogs or puppies who are not up to date on vaccinations!! The well being of our guests is our priority! We do not want to risk any sick pups! I am also privately insured through Pet Care Insurance or PCI. For visits, please use the Ring doorbell rather than knocking, as it helps keep the dogs calm. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I stay at home pretty much 24/7. I don’t work a job other than pet sitting. I am accepting dogs all days of the week! I have my own four bedroom house. The house has three empty rooms in case of boarding which I do let dogs on furniture. Also, if I don’t have a lot of dogs we all usually pile into one room. I have a fenced in backyard as well.

Wow! We had the absolute BEST experience with Morgan! We traveled out of the country and Morgan went above and beyond to make sure we knew our babies were well taken care of. She was very communicative, highly professional, super attentive to their needs, and treated our babies like they were her own. The pups were truly spoiled. She really puts her heart into her work and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future! Can’t wait to have her again! Highly recommend!!
