Highly-rated overnight sitters - Windy Gap
“Brooke and her family were great! They took such great care of Kingsley! They made him part of the family and he enjoyed every minute. I would definitely leave Kingsley with her anytime.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! Miss Olivia did great and I was updated numerous times a day which helped my kids and I from being away from our precious puppy. We will most definitely use her for any future trips.”
“Lane was great! Was very easy to get along with when it comes to pick up and drop off. Super accommodating. Will definitely use him again if the need comes up. Sent status updates. Dogs came back just the way we left them. No complaints here.”
“Denee was fantastic with our lab. She was attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog at her home and would not hesitate to book again. Our dog came home happy and well cared for.”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful all the way around! I felt so comfortable leaving my big fur baby with her. She sent pictures and updates, and treated him like her own. I’m grateful he was able to play in a wide variety of settings, sleep comfortably, and even come home ready for a nap! This was my first time leaving him with someone, and I will absolutely come to Deborah first for the second time around. I feel comfortable using Rover as a whole starting out with such a positive experience. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“My dog, Kira, was well cared for during her 9‑day stay. I received daily photos and updates, and she came home happy and relaxed. She was clearly treated like one of their own, and communication was great throughout. I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would book again.”
“Lawrence took very good care of Ella. He sent pictures and kept me posted on her everyday. Ella seemed to like him as well. I will definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone.”
“Elizabeth was the perfect sitter for my dog! My puppy is pretty hyper and I was looking for someone that could handle all that energy. Elizabeth responded immediately and kept me updated with photos the whole time. And my pup loved her!”
“I’m very happy with Bethany and her dog-boarding service. I left my Husky with her for 4 days and every day she updated me not only with photos of how my boy was doing, but even updated me on his behaviors and what he was doing so that I was kept up to date. She really cares about her clients and I feel like she has really poured her heart and soul into her business. She respected what I asked for and gave it to me and Isaac earnestly. Excellent service. Leave your pup with her!”
About: Hello! My name is Keri, I have had pets my whole life, including shelter rescues and fosters. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and a large selection of breeds. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe! As some pups (or pet parents) can become stressed or anxious with strangers, I will go the extra mile to ensure their comfort! Pet parents can be assured to receive lots of photos while their pup is in my care. I have worked in the medical field for 8 years, but my love for pets has started a journey to pet sitting. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! My schedule can be very flexible, and I am home most of the time, occasionally in the office nearby. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a new spacious home with lots of room for your babies. As I currently do not have a fenced in yard, your baby can play inside & outside, and go for walks! I treat your pups as if they were my own. Interacting with pets by giving them lots of love and attention. Pups are allowed on furniture and most all areas of our home. Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
About: I have over four years of hands on experience working in a veterinary hospital, where I’ve cared for animals of all types, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs.

If they need 24/7 care they can come with me to work and get to go outside as many times as they need. I have a front yard that is fenced and I am in walking distance to the dog park if that is something that your dog loves. At clients home I will stick to your pets normal routine.
“Best dog sitter we've ever had. Our dog seemed to love all the other animals and Tanya gave our dog Bummer extra attention. Bummer may have found a second home. Thank you so much!”

About: Growing up in Michigan, I have had ample experience with caring for pets (not just dogs, but goats, cats and chickens too!). Since earlier childhood, I have had dogs including and most recently had two beautiful and hilarious bulldogs.

I have had experience with Rover as me and my sister for two years pet sat for several families in the Chicago area. I currently work during the week but am home in the early afternoon.

About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I’ve also had basic veterinary training in high school. While my dog is no longer with us, she was always treated just like my kids, and was allowed on furniture/beds. I take daily walks (sometimes twice a day). I’m available for boarding on most days. I can also drop in on weekends as needed. I usually take a walk once or twice a day. My son enjoys playing fetch with dogs. Your pet will receive plenty of love and care while with us as we have always loved having dogs around.
“Kassie was awesome. Buddy had a blast & enjoyed the day there. Kassie & her crew of furry friends were great hosts. The ONLY thing that prevents a 5 star rating is a lack of a fence. Kassie took Buddy for great walks, provided a great indoor environment, but he got close to the road when we left. That was on me as I didn’t have him leashed up. If Kassie ever gets a fence in the equation, it would be a “6l” on a scale to 5. Definitely will ask Kassie to Buddy watch again.”

I am a stay-at-home mom and will provide full time care for your pets in my fully fenced back yard. Your pet will enjoy freedom and security while here with love and a family who all love pets.

He's pretty headstrong and very high energy and it always feels like Lawrence and Gabby truly enjoy and appreciate him, which makes it easy not to worry about leaving him for a night or weekend. Plus they always send great artistic-quality pics of his time with them. We feel lucky to have found them.”

About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)

About: Growing up in Michigan, I have had ample experience with caring for pets (not just dogs, but goats, cats and chickens too!). Since earlier childhood, I have had dogs including and most recently had two beautiful and hilarious bulldogs. I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family back in Michigan. I have had experience with Rover as me and my sister for two years pet sat for several families in the Chicago area. I currently work during the week but am home in the early afternoon. I'm typically home all weekend which lends itself to being able to give dogs the attention, cuddles and care they need. I live in an apartment complex that has a dog park and personally love to walk, therefore can walk as much as your pet needs.
About: I LOVE animals. I was raised around animals from babies to adults so I am familiar with the processes from raising a baby to an elderly animal (cats, dogs, cows, horses, etc.) I have also volunteered at several animal shelters. I am currently raising two sweet pups of my own, Luna and Ranger. I have trained all of my animals and I’m extremely patient. I also know ASL, if needed to communicate. I am a full-time interpreter, but working with animals calms my stress. I understand situations come up, so I am extremely flexible. The world is a better place because of the animals in it, so it is important to me that they are treated as such. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

“Brooke and her family were great! They took such great care of Kingsley! They made him part of the family and he enjoyed every minute. I would definitely leave Kingsley with her anytime.”
“Lane was great! Was very easy to get along with when it comes to pick up and drop off. Super accommodating. Will definitely use him again if the need comes up. Sent status updates. Dogs came back just the way we left them. No complaints here.”
“Denee was fantastic with our lab. She was attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog at her home and would not hesitate to book again. Our dog came home happy and well cared for.”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful all the way around! I felt so comfortable leaving my big fur baby with her. She sent pictures and updates, and treated him like her own. I’m grateful he was able to play in a wide variety of settings, sleep comfortably, and even come home ready for a nap! This was my first time leaving him with someone, and I will absolutely come to Deborah first for the second time around. I feel comfortable using Rover as a whole starting out with such a positive experience. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Lawrence took very good care of Ella. He sent pictures and kept me posted on her everyday. Ella seemed to like him as well. I will definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone.”
“I’m very happy with Bethany and her dog-boarding service. I left my Husky with her for 4 days and every day she updated me not only with photos of how my boy was doing, but even updated me on his behaviors and what he was doing so that I was kept up to date. She really cares about her clients and I feel like she has really poured her heart and soul into her business. She respected what I asked for and gave it to me and Isaac earnestly. Excellent service. Leave your pup with her!”

As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe!

Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
About: I have over four years of hands on experience working in a veterinary hospital, where I’ve cared for animals of all types, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, and providing gentle, attentive care—especially for geriatric and special-needs pets who require extra patience and understanding. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work full time but I am able to leave for lunch and take care of your precious pets! If they need 24/7 care they can come with me to work and get to go outside as many times as they need. I have a front yard that is fenced and I am in walking distance to the dog park if that is something that your dog loves. At clients home I will stick to your pets normal routine.

“Kelsey took great care of Murphy & I especially appreciated her flexibility to keep him an extra night when my flight landed in Raleigh instead of Roanoke. I enthusiastically recommend her.”
“Cheyanne took great care of my 11 year old lab. Sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away missing my baby. Definitely helped ease my mind and she always returned my messages within an hour. I could tell my dog was happy to be there and she loved playing with the other dogs. 10/10 would recommend Cheyanne”
