“My daughter’s service dog had major surgery on his CCL. We always have to be aware of his training so as not to do anything that would damage the bond between my daughter and him. He is sensitive due to his work / seizure alert, balance work, behavior disruption and deep pressure. Since he is 100 pounds, we needed help a couple of times a day. Wendy was amazing. She jumped in to help us get him safely out and back in his first week post surgery - she worked with him with gentleness and sensitivity. Wendy was always there on time. We really appreciated her help and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Thank you so much Wendy!”


“Kristen is awesome and very sweet. She is quick and effective with her communication, and you can tell she truly loves working with your pet. She’s my first sitter and my dog has really bad anxiety, but yet she was still able to trust Kristen when dropping in. 10 out of 10!”


“Taylor is super communicative about her availability which makes it super easy for me to plan in advance the next time I need a pet sitter! I really appreciate her kindness and Roanoke loves her!”


About: I have worked in a pet kennel before and learned many different ways to care for animals of all shapes and sizes! I have also taken care of a specific families cats for a couple years now. I am a full-time college student. I will always keep my schedule updated, and at the moment I am available to drop in to check on your pets every day of the week except Thursdays. Once the spring semester ends, I will have a full weeks availability. The spring semester ends on the 17th of May. Unfortunately, I cannot take any pets for boarding at my home. I am not the only person who lives here and I have a cat of my own. I can do drop ins to check on your pets during the day and if you’d like, I can stay with them in your home. I will always respect your pets boundaries and limitations and try to bond with them so I’m not just a stranger in their house. Their comfort and safety comes first.

“Patricia was able to watch our pups with given a short notice due to our schedule changes. She was great with both our 10 year old heeler and our 6 month old heeler (who is a handful). Between her and myself, we have came up with a schedule where she agreed to stop by weekly to let our dogs out! Patricia was great and comes highly recommend!”


“Dylan was great with Copper! Came over for the meet and greet on time and he has experience with high energy breeds! He even stayed a bit longer to make sure he got his exercise. I will definitely be booking him again.”


About: Always been the one to feed, bathe and take care of our family pet. Get’s along well with animals. Will make sure your pet is cared for and safe while you’re away!! I’m working part time, but I still have a few days through the week where I’m free. Can easily work around my schedule. Happy to talk help!! I’ve cared for dogs all sorts of ways. Whether it’s something small like giving them water in their food to make sure it’s mushy for their teeth. Or give dogs their prescribed medicine.

“Debbie is an absolute dream of a pet sitter. I have dogs and run a kitten rescue (and I currently have feral and special needs kittens), so there is a LOT going on at my house. Debbie took wonderful care of everyone and was a great communicator. We had a couple kitten issues pop up (out of Debbie's control) and she let me know right away so I could get things taken care of on my end—and she even made an extra visit to ensure everyone was safe and taken care of. It's so hard for me to leave because I'm a huge worrier, but I was actually able to enjoy my break and felt totally at ease.”


About: I have had dogs my whole life. I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing them, and playing with them. I also trained my dogs now. I am current on summer break from college so I have plenty of free time to stop in and walk your dogs and play with them too! I will very good care of your dogs and make sure they get a lot of attention. I have two dogs at home so I am very aware of making sure all doors are shut tight and harnesses and leashes are secured. I also make sure that the dogs are on the side of the road when walking them on the street.

About: I am a young girl who always had a passion for all pets and always been called the dogs whisperer. I always been able to tame them naturally. It’s my daily routine, it’s has became a cycle in my life to take care of pets and family. It’s something I’m devoted to . It depends on the type of dog, there needs and wants and what I feel like they need in the moment as far care and making sure to stay on top of them.

“Ashanti was so kind and flexible with our last-minute pet sitting request! She took time out of her holiday weekend to take care of our fur babies while we were gone, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. She was great with our pets, too. Our dog loved the extra attention!”


“Peyton was amazing! Our babies are super happy and she sent the cutest pictures. She was very communicative with us and I never had to wonder how the pups and kitty were doing. We will 1000% be booking. Her again!”


“This is my second time using the Rover app and I am very pleased with Alice! Alice was very communicate throughout the whole process and updated me every time through the app about her drop in visits. Alice was very professional and accommodating.”


About: I have two dogs of my own and a total of three in the household. I’ve had experience with taking care of six dogs at a time, ranging from small to medium. I always prioritize their safety and well-being. After all, our fur babies are family! 🐾 I just moved from California so I’m currently in between jobs with leadership meetings typically in the evening. I’m unavailable before 10am Wednesday mornings. So far my schedule is pretty flexible, always open to discussing arrangements that fit pet owners and their pets needs. Our home doesn’t have a fence so my dogs are always leashed whenever they need to go to the bathroom or on a walk. Our community offers a dog park as well. My dogs are very territorial so for the safety of my dogs and clients, boarding is not available.

About: I have had many dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds growing up. I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart. I love to match their energy and give the best care for them as possible. I am a full time Registered behavior Technician but want to be able to have my nights and weekends dedicated to providing services for dedicated pet owners like myself. I have a high, fenced backyard. I live in a safe neighborhood surrounded by friendly people. Every door and window is constantly locked for pet and human protection. In my clients home I will be sure to keep the same safety measures as I do my own.

About: I’ve been a dog lover from a very young age! My very first job as a teenager was working as a kennel attendant at a local veterinary hospital. I have cared for several family dogs over the years, and am an active volunteer at a local humane society! I know your pet means so much to you, and I want to provide the best care in a fun and safe environment! Will send updates and photos, as many as you’d like!😊 I am currently working full time during the week, but have a variable schedule based on the day for walks, outings, and feedings! On the weekends I am also available for overnight boarding to care for your furry friends while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for playtime, perfect for running around and getting out some energy! I have two cats who are able to be kept in a separate room if preferred, but they are sweet and generally don’t mind company! I have one small-medium sized dog crate available to use if you don’t want the hassle of bringing your own as well. I would love for your furry friend to be able to wander around the house with supervision, or remain crated with potty breaks, based on your preference!
