“Cate was wonderful. We had just moved here, which can be hard/stressful for a furry family member. Cate made sure our dog was well cared for. She sent lots of pictures and updates. We will 100% use her in the future. Highly recommend !”
“Samantha was great without pups, even our Dane who likes to bark loudly and constantly when new sitters come through the door. She was timely, provided great pics, and paid great attention to our instructions.”
“This was my first time booking with Hannah, and I am super pleased. The experience was top-notch from beginning to end. Hannah's is very responsive and thorough in her communication and her interactions with my dog very both loving and playful. I appreciate her reliability and will definitely book with her again!”
“My older cat doesn't do people and Ashley actually saw her a couple times when she stopped in - that's huge! She went above and beyond by also taking care of my plants as well as my cats. :) She's a keeper.”
“I've known Erica for YEARS. She's a truly kind, sweet person who genuinely loves animals 🩷. This was her first time watching my doggie, but hopefully won't be her last. Peanut loves Erica and her son so much! They took great care of her. I had one happy (and tired ☺️) baby when I got home!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Emily! She cared for my two cats for 5 days while I was away visiting family. She was incredibly thorough during our meet and greet, taking detailed notes about the cats and asking clarifying questions about their care. She even offered to water my plants and check the mail while I was gone, which while not expected, was incredibly thoughtful and a huge help! After each check-in, she would send a detailed report of how each check-in went, and gave me cute updates and photos of the cats and their daily adventures! I would recommend Emily for anyone looking for pet care in the Roanoke area, she treats them like her own and is so incredibly detail-oriented. Truly above and beyond!”
About: As avid pet lovers and experienced caregivers, we bring a wealth of knowledge and affection to dog sitting. With years of hands-on experience, we understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment for furry friends. From daily walks to interactive playtime, we prioritize the well-being and happiness of each dog under our care. We are adept at following specific care instructions, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. Our commitment to responsible pet care ensures that owners can trust their beloved companions are in capable hands while they're away. Matt is 100% remote so works from home every day. He is able to provide around the clock care for your pets including walks and play time. We provide the individualized care that is needed for your pet. We provide walks, companionship, play time, feeding and medication services, bathing for an additional price, etc. Since we do not have a fenced in yard, we will only take your pet out on a leash to ensure their safety. Our cats stay in the basement during boarding stays so there will be no interaction between them.
About: Hi! I’ve been a dog lover since my family brought home a puppy that instantly became my best friend (and greatest excuse to go on long walks). Since I was 14, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family—whether it’s tiny chihuahuas with big attitudes or German Shepherds who think they’re lap dogs. I genuinely love spending time with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to slow-and-steady seniors. I’m dependable, attentive, and always ready for a walk, rain or shine. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and send you way too many cute photo updates, I’m your girl! I’m currently available for pet sitting and walks throughout the day. Starting in mid-August, my availability will shift to evenings (3 PM–11 PM) on weekdays and all day on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule as best I can just send me a message! When it comes to caring for pets, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. I prefer to stay in the pet’s home environment, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I take great care in following any instructions you leave-whether it’s about feeding, medications, walks, or routines, so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll stick to their schedule, respect their space, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they want them!). You can count on me to keep a close eye on their wellbeing, and to treat your pet like my own while you’re away.
About: Hello thank you for visiting my profile! I am a friendly and responsible woman who works full time as an Uber driver so I am able to work with any timetable you need while I am in town. I fly to Germany every other month or 2 and my calendar will reflect when I am going to be out of town. Ich spreche ein bisschen deutch + hablo un poco Español. Background: I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats and also on a farm with farm animals (child of divorce). I now have my big baby Hera (10 y/o mastiff lab mix) who is spoiled beyond words. I have also spent time volunteering at the SW VA Wildlife Rescue so I have experience working with non traditional pets and hand nursing. I have helped birth and look after 11 healthy german shepard puppies (including 24/7 care)! Please contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to caring for your precious animals! I am extremely flexible to fit your schedule! I am a self employed Uber driver and set my own hours. I fly to Germany every month or 2 and my calendar will reflect that. Your pets will be treated with love and respect! I will follow all instructions given and cater to each unique animal as needed. When house sitting I am very attentive to locking up and making sure doors are latched securely. I have experience with difficult doors and your pet's safety is my top priority!
“Haley did an excellent job! I was a little nervous when we got home late that our senior dog would be anxiously pacing the house. He does not like changes in his routine. Alvin was happily sleeping in the kitchen when we got home! She apparently was able to keep him calm, give him his medications, and treat him just like we were here.”

Erin & Matthew K.Star Sitter
“Erin has been a colleague of mine at Va Western Community College for about 3 years, and it took approximately one shift for me to realize we had acquired an AWESOME hire. Her work is impeccable, as is her attention to detail; she is calm in the face of pressure; both intuitive and logic-driven; a quick learner; and just plain smart. If I assign a task or project to Erin, I know it will be done on time and properly. More importantly, she's good people. She is compassionate and loves to dote on both pets and humans alike! While I haven't needed her to look after my own pets, I would unquestionably do so if needed. I hear many adoring tales Erin tells about her own cats, and also hear her inquire about others' pets, eager to check in on their wellbeing and see the latest pictures we've taken of our furbabies. A few more Erin-adjectives popped in my head as I've been typing: punctual, responsive, responsible, reliable, and comforting. What more could you ask for?! ; ) I'm happy to offer this recommendation for Erin K and have full confidence you won't regret a decision to hire her!”
TJ E.
“TJE is gentle and understanding with an anxious dog who takes a while to warm up. Also very dependable!”
Spenser D.
“Spenser always takes such good care of my little Foxy Lady. And she is always excited to see Spenser whenever she comes to take care of her. Highly recommend!”
Carol J.
“Carol is the best!!”
Gussie R.
“I have known Gussie a near decade now and know of her up bringing in a house full of dogs and cats. She is very comfortable with all size dogs and even prefers larger breeds while other walkers may shy away from. She has experience out of Charlottesville assisting with pet care and walks with a previous privately owned pet care company. I have personally used her for cat care for years and can confirm her volunteer work with angels of Assisi located here in Roanoke.”
