“John is always sending great updates of our dogs with pictures. He keeps them busy with walks and play mats. The dogs are always excited when we get to John’s house like it’s their home away from home!”
“Enzo always has the best time at Samantha's house, he's always so tuckered out when he gets home 😄 Samantha always takes lots of pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your doggo is in good hands. So happy to have found someone I can trust to watch him!”
“Karlie was wonderful. I have an anxious little poodle, and Karlie gave me daily updates and pictures. Apparently Max fell right in with her family pack after a couple of days and was just fine. She even let him sleep in bed with her like he does at home. I know that settled his heart for sure. Big thank you to Karlie and her family for loving Max!”
“Jody is so good with dogs. She has her hands full between her own animals plus those she helps, but she does it so gracefully. She took the time to introduce all the dogs with me being able to watch which eased my worries. The dogs all listen to her. Shes a dog whisperer. She sent photos of Maci and I enjoyed getting to watch my girl socialize in the videos. My pup was so tired when I got her home. A tired pup is a good pup. Thank you for keeping her happy and safe!”
“This was the first time we used Rover.com for our 1 year old pup. We were anxious to leave town without her, but Ashley and her family took such great care of Sadie for 5 days. She sent pictures and updates while we were away. We were so relieved that this was such a great experience and can't wait to use her serves again for our next trip.”
“Shawn was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My pups were very comfortable and happy during their stay. I would choose Shawn every time to watch my pups, they had an amazing time! I didn’t have to worry about my dogs once while they were in Shawn’s care!”
“Candace boarded our Cane Corso 7/11- 7/12. She was so gracious to take him at the last minute even though it was her birthday and she had plans. It was our first time boarding him so my husband and I were anxious and Candace was wonderful, she didn’t mind me calling several times to check on Boss. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Candace you were wonderful.”
“By far the best dog-sitting experience I've ever enjoyed. Marah and her husband were both incredibly personable, warm, and engaged even at the meet and greet. They were relaxed and reassuring with my rambunctious pup and accommodating with the day/times. During the stay, I got tons of pictures and video of Kaine, playing and having fun. And they returned him to me happier and healthier than I left him!! :)”
“Super friendly, & worked with us when we were in a bind, to watch our dog at the last minute. Everything went really well! She even sent us a pic! We highly recommend Katie, & hopefully she will always be our go-to sitter, from now on. :)”
“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”
“Kim was great! My dog happily ate and played in her care. He came home absolutely worn out. They were super friendly and sent pictures and updates! Will definitely be using them again!”
“We highly recommend David! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous about leaving our dog, Olive, for a whole week with someone we didn't know. After meeting David, our fears dissipated and we felt pretty confident that Olive would enjoy her stay. David has a calm, gentle demeanor, and Olive seemed relaxed around him from the beginning. We enjoyed the daily pictures of Olive that he texted to us. We will definitely ask David again if we need someone to watch our dog!”
“Donna took care of my little old Maltese for a month and he was treated royally! I wasn't 100% sure he would want to come home. It was obvious that she catered to his needs and was more than tolerant of his shortcomings. She was the perfect companion for Teddy and I would definitely use her services again.”
“Mac & his dog Beaker were friendly & welcoming. Murphy was with them 2 nights before being picked up by my daughter-in-law. She reported an easy pickup & that Mac had everything ready to go. Mac had reported that Murphy fit right in.”

“I would definitely book with Cate again. She treated my cats like her own. She catered to their different personalities of what each cat needed whether it was playing or being held. She stayed the entirety of the scheduled time each day. She’s nice and very easy to work with. I trust her with my fur babies completely.”
“Brooke did a great job with my 2 cats. They seemed to get a lot of attention, and she administered meds. Loved getting all of the pics and thorough info from each drop-in. I'd be happy to hire Brooke 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.”
“Lexi did a wonderful job looking after my two ferrets on short notice! She sent great photos and updates, and was very accommodating with their schedule and their needs. I had peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of while I was out of town.”
“I have booked with Amanda for over 2 years. She is easy to communicate with and I feel incredibly comfortable leaving my pet in her care. If you need a petsitter, you should absolutely reach out. I hope to rebook for future petsitting.”
“Nidia was incredible!!! She went above and beyond to take care of my dogs. I didnt worry for a second while I was gone about them because of her communication, kindness, and thoroughness. Highly recommend Nidia!!!! The dogs loved her!”
About: What sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for cats at very different stages of life. I have two cats of my own, ages 2 and 14, so I’m comfortable caring for both younger, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. One of my cats also requires medication twice a day, which has given me experience with staying consistent with medication schedules and monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine closely, especially when their owner is away, and I make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care.
About: I have had the pleasure to take care of cats my whole life. I know some of them like to relax and others want to play their hearts out. I have some cats of my own while watching, taking care of, feeding, bathing, and loving my neighbors and families pets at the same time. Your kitties have a home with me.
About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.
About: I grew up with cats as a child and very familiar with feeding and litter handling. I have watched cats with various personality types so I feel confident if you have a temperamental cat, I can get the job done without stress to your pet.
“Lindsay is honest, communicative, reliable, and so wonderful with our two high energy dogs. Each weekend, she confirms with us which days she is able to let our dogs out, and has been so flexible with our chaotic schedule. Clearly Lindsay is great with dogs— even our shy pup quickly warmed up to her as we saw in her check-in photos. We are very grateful to have her as our walker and cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I started taking care of multiple cats since I was a young teen, and then dogs when I became a dog bather! I worked with Petsmart for about 6 years. I’ve watched countless animals for friends and family throughout the years! in addition to that we also have fish, an axolotl, and hermit crabs. I am a stay at home mom of a newborn! I am not currently working and I am looking for extra ways to make money and I love pets! So this just seems the obvious choice. I have a fenced in backyard, although I do not own a dog I have cared for them for friends or working as a dog bather off and on for years! I do have cats now who are basically my second children. They eat a varied diet, so I can handle any pet’s diet. I also am able to administer medicine to pets as I have to mine times before. aka pills, drops, ect. All my animals are up to date on vaccines and go to the vet for check ups regularly.
“I would give her 20 stars if I could!! I was in an emergency situation and needed help fast. She was at my house in 10 minutes!! I could not have asked for better care of my cats. She sent pictures and updates. I did not worry about them. She allowed me to come and visit also. My fur babies were played with and not stuck in a cage like at other boarding places. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again if needed. BEST CARE EVER!!!”

I understand how important it is to keep them on their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

While my backyard isn't fenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs will always be kept on a leash to ensure their safety.
About: I began volunteering at my local animal shelter at the age of 9 and have been caring for animals ever since. I have 20 years experience pet sitting for neighbors and I have my own 6 year old pitbull, Cleo, so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs. I’m a teacher, so my summers give me full flexibility to care for your animals! I love to walk dogs on local greenways and trails. SCHOOL YEAR UPDATE: I’m still happy to provide boarding, walking, and drop in visits outside of school hours. I am unable to be home or care for pets from 7am-3pm each day. If your dog can be left for 8 hours, boarding continues to be available during the school year. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can play. If they like to play with a buddy, my dog will be their best friend!
“Marah was awesome and so sweet! We sent her a request super late notice and she accepted right away! She was so flexible with us and our puppy had a GREAT time! He's still tired from a full day of play!”

“Both Taylor and Jessica are super nice people and very accommodating. We used their services for our dog and they kept her for us while we were out of town. We would definitely use them again!”
About: There have also been pets in my house and I have also made myself available to pet sit for friends and family. I am flexible in when and how to care for your smallest or largest family member. I am a runner so I would love to have a buddy join me on a run, jog, or even a walk. I can care for your pup at my house or your house which ever one you would be comfortable with.

“Rebecca was just amazing and wonderful with our dogs. She took them on several walks and played with them. She sent lots of happy pictures and we knew they were in good hands!! We would highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Kaleb took great care of Presley while I went away for the day! I received pictures and videos throughout his stay, which was greatly appreciated! Presley had so much fun playing with Kaleb’s pups, he is worn out! Thank you for taking great care of my baby!!! We will be coming back!”
“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: Updated March 2026 : As of now, I have a year old mutt I adopted. She gets along great with other dogs, but I have gates to keep animals separate if they’d prefer. I have kept up to 6 dogs at a time. My love for animals began at 8 years old with my two aquatic dwarf frogs named Rocky and Elvis and my hamster, Josie. In college, I fostered sick kittens from a local shelter. My first few years of living on my own allowed me to adopt my two cats, Piper and Blue. But it wasn’t until I moved into my first house with a yard that I knew I could provide a loving home for dogs, as well. I love all shapes and sizes, but big dogs have my heart. Currently my parents own an English Lab and a Chow Chow/ German Shepherd mix. Our first dog, Molly, inspired the paw tattoo on my inner wrist. I miss her every day. As for my cats: They have a separate space- but they’ve made friends with many of my repeat clients: Belle, Butters, Nova, Larry, Leroy, Doris, and many more! I am home Sat& Sun & after work (3pm) on Monday-Friday. I have a crate here in case your pup needs one while I am at work. I have a large, fenced in yard that dogs love to run and play fetch in. My home is comfy and dogs are allowed on / in any space in my home (we share furniture in these parts). I am very responsible and have pet sat in others homes multiple times. I have always appreciated the opportunity others have given me to make friends with their pet and care for them like they are my own.

“Zoe was great! She was always on-schedule and was very patient with my weird little girl. She does things like hiding when it's time to go out and then pulling a LOT once you finally get her out. But Zoe never complained and always hung around with the baby for a few minutes of love and play after the walk. My schedule has changed and no longer need a dog-walker, but if I ever need one again, will definitely look for her!”

About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, i’m an animal lover as they say. We have had 3 dogs growing up: 2 boxers and a great dane; and now i have a dane of of my very own. I have excellent experience in animal care. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care in any way possible for their animals. I work from home and my job is INSANELY flexible. I come and go as i please for work; and make my own schedule/hours. So attending to your pet all day is no issue what so ever. I am a die hard animal lover, so I would care for your pet the way I care for mine. The only “downside” to my in house dog sitting, in your home; is that my pup would need to come with me. He is large but very gentle and gets along with anything you can think of. He is house trained, and EXTREMELY well mannered. He has been around dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, alpacas, llamas, and yes; a camel. He is my barn pup so he’s very easy going and a gentle giant. I have experience in giving oral meds by hand, and adding meds onto food etc. I have a picky eater, so if you have a picky eater and need someone who can manage, i am your girl! I would rather hand feed your dog than them just not eat due to stress/anxiety. I am a picture guru, so you will receive pics even if you don’t ask for them. I only ask that you are honest with me when it comes to the needs your pet has and the needs you as an individual expect. I have been in the customer service industry for a very very long time; and communication is key, ALWAYS. Now that i’ve written a novel, i am easy to get ahold of with any questions, comments, or concerns! I look forward to caring for your critters! I am a full time work from home employee.

I am able to care for your pets by providing multiple updates throughout your pets stay, as well as plenty of pictures. I am able to follow specific guidelines given to me by clients to ensure their pet has a safe stay at my home

I know how important peace of mind is when you're away, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you connected with your furry - or scaly - friend. I will also maintain any home-related needs while you're away. All mail and packages will be brought in daily, trash/recycling bins will be on the curb on pickup day, and dust/fur will be vacuumed regularly. I will thoroughly clean your kitchen and bathrooms before I leave, and I will launder any bedding/towels I use so there will be no clean-up on your arrival home. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently working a part time research job at FBRI in downtown Roanoke, so I have plenty of flexibility with my schedule. When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking, gardening, all things tea, and exploring the beautiful state of VA with my husband. I currently offer services at my client's homes. From house-sitting to drop-ins, I cater to specific needs and requests for each individual and their companions. If you have multiple cats, I will only charge for 1 cat. Please list all pets, and I will manually remove the charges for the extra cats before booking.
About: I have helped train and care for my own dogs since I was 8 years old. I have house sat, done drop in visits and walked dogs for neighbors and friends. Dogs always make me smile and I have done a lot of reading/research on how to train/care for your dog. I work part time so there is a lot of time in my day to care for dogs. I usually have a lot of time in the afternoon and the evening to feed them or walk them. I love to play with dogs and walk them. I am very active so I can do long walks with the dogs or just play some fetch. All dogs are different and need different types of attention and love.
About: Over the years, I have fostered, loved and cared for many different pets. Dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and crabs, rabbits & etc. I have a passion for dogs, especially! I am a strong believer in treating our pets as well as our kids!! It is very easy for me to connect with animals- that is where most of my passion comes from. I have also fed, bathed, kennel/potty trained and provided medication dogs of many different breeds, sizes, ages & temperaments. I can be extremely flexible. I am conveniently located near Downtown Roanoke, which helps me stay easily and readily available. Typically available for 2-3 check-ins/walks per day. My number one priority will be your pets safety! I will send updates and photos during every visit to reassure you that your pet is well taken care of.
“Hannah walked my boy every day for 9 days when I was out of town. They walked for an hour every day and it was great! He really enjoys his long walks and Hannah made sure he had a great time. She is reliable and sent me great notes and pics every day.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my household ever since I was 5 years old and would love to meet and help you with your fur baby! I work as a hairstylist at a salon Tuesday through Friday and also work occasional weekends at an Italian restaurant. Outside of work, I enjoy spending my free time doing different crafts and DIY projects, reading on my Kindle, or relaxing with one of my pups while watching a good movie. I also love getting outside for evening walks with my dogs and spending time playing fetch and throwing the ball around. I enjoy staying busy, being creative, and making the most of my time both at work and at home. I love my pets like they are family and will treat yours like they’re my own. Your pets safety and the safety of your home is a top priority!

“John is always sending great updates of our dogs with pictures. He keeps them busy with walks and play mats. The dogs are always excited when we get to John’s house like it’s their home away from home!”
“Enzo always has the best time at Samantha's house, he's always so tuckered out when he gets home 😄 Samantha always takes lots of pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your doggo is in good hands. So happy to have found someone I can trust to watch him!”
“Karlie was wonderful. I have an anxious little poodle, and Karlie gave me daily updates and pictures. Apparently Max fell right in with her family pack after a couple of days and was just fine. She even let him sleep in bed with her like he does at home. I know that settled his heart for sure. Big thank you to Karlie and her family for loving Max!”
“Jody is so good with dogs. She has her hands full between her own animals plus those she helps, but she does it so gracefully. She took the time to introduce all the dogs with me being able to watch which eased my worries. The dogs all listen to her. Shes a dog whisperer. She sent photos of Maci and I enjoyed getting to watch my girl socialize in the videos. My pup was so tired when I got her home. A tired pup is a good pup. Thank you for keeping her happy and safe!”
“This was the first time we used Rover.com for our 1 year old pup. We were anxious to leave town without her, but Ashley and her family took such great care of Sadie for 5 days. She sent pictures and updates while we were away. We were so relieved that this was such a great experience and can't wait to use her serves again for our next trip.”
“Candace boarded our Cane Corso 7/11- 7/12. She was so gracious to take him at the last minute even though it was her birthday and she had plans. It was our first time boarding him so my husband and I were anxious and Candace was wonderful, she didn’t mind me calling several times to check on Boss. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Candace you were wonderful.”
“By far the best dog-sitting experience I've ever enjoyed. Marah and her husband were both incredibly personable, warm, and engaged even at the meet and greet. They were relaxed and reassuring with my rambunctious pup and accommodating with the day/times. During the stay, I got tons of pictures and video of Kaine, playing and having fun. And they returned him to me happier and healthier than I left him!! :)”
“Super friendly, & worked with us when we were in a bind, to watch our dog at the last minute. Everything went really well! She even sent us a pic! We highly recommend Katie, & hopefully she will always be our go-to sitter, from now on. :)”
“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”
“Kim was great! My dog happily ate and played in her care. He came home absolutely worn out. They were super friendly and sent pictures and updates! Will definitely be using them again!”
“We highly recommend David! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous about leaving our dog, Olive, for a whole week with someone we didn't know. After meeting David, our fears dissipated and we felt pretty confident that Olive would enjoy her stay. David has a calm, gentle demeanor, and Olive seemed relaxed around him from the beginning. We enjoyed the daily pictures of Olive that he texted to us. We will definitely ask David again if we need someone to watch our dog!”
“Donna took care of my little old Maltese for a month and he was treated royally! I wasn't 100% sure he would want to come home. It was obvious that she catered to his needs and was more than tolerant of his shortcomings. She was the perfect companion for Teddy and I would definitely use her services again.”
“Mac & his dog Beaker were friendly & welcoming. Murphy was with them 2 nights before being picked up by my daughter-in-law. She reported an easy pickup & that Mac had everything ready to go. Mac had reported that Murphy fit right in.”
“Kevin is very knowledgeable about dogs and was very patient with my American bulldog “Goose”. It was his first time being away from home and was scared and was being aggressive. Kevin worked with him and made him feel comfortable and part of the family. I feel 1000% comfortable leaving my dog in his care.”
“Sidney did an incredible job with my German Shepherd! She sent pictures and checked in regularly to put me at ease. If you’re in Roanoke, Sidney as your pet sitter is the best choice you can make!!”
“Erin and Matthew were absolutely amazing! Our small dog takes a while to warm up to people but by the end of the trip they were best friends!! They sent constant picture updates and even snapped a beautiful Christmas photo of our babies! 1000% will rebook thank you for taking such good care of our pups!!”
