“Candace was a great sitter! Her parents were helpful as well. Cassie was in good hands and was well taken care of. We were so thankful they accommodated us picking up Cassie after our evening flight.”
“We were in Callaway, VA for a wedding and we left our pup with Maribel and her family for the day while we attended the event. Leading up to our trip, Maribel put me at ease with fast and professional communication and flexibility when our drop-off time changed. During the visit, Maribel shared awesome pictures of our pooch in action. Upon pickup, pup was all smiles and tail wags. It is evident that Maribel and her family treat your pet like their own during boarding. We were able to attend the wedding worry-free, knowing that Dante was in great hands. I HIGHLY recommend Maribel for your pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Jody took wonderful care of our pup! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter. Our puppy had an amazing time on her farm, especially enjoying the chance to play and socialize with the other dogs. Jody made sure he felt loved and well cared for every step of the way. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Samantha and her family were incredibly kind, helpful, and flexible with our move to Roanoke. Our cats and dog seemed to do great with them for a few days. We will definitely have them stay with her next time we need help!”
“Taco had such a great time playing with his new friends at Shannon’s house! Shannon was always very quick to respond and shared pictures. Taco was very well cared for!”
“First visit! I really appreciated the communication and coordination, so easy to work with. Hops (the dog) came home happy and healthy. Theresa took great care of her; I would book again and refer her!”
“Natalie did a great job taking care of Bodo! He loved all the walks she took him on and she did a great job of dealing with his anxiety. She kept me updated with pictures the whole time and I knew he was in good hands!”
“McKenanne took great care of my dog and was good about communicating before and during my dog's stay. Her two dogs were very friendly which helped to make my dog more comfortable and happy.”
“Angela is absolutely amazing. She goes above and beyond to care for your fur babies. Simba was well taken care of and enjoyed his 8 day stay. Will most definitely use Angela again in the future.”
“We are so happy with Lupin's first stay with Emily! We had to go out of town for a funeral only a week after adopting Lupin so we were nervous about his reaction to a new environment so soon after bringing him home, but Emily was great and put us at ease right from the start. She kept us apprised of all his activities, including his interactions with other pets, and sent updates and pictures which let us know he was in good hands. Lupin had a great time and we are very happy with our first experience with Rover. Thank you Emily!”
“My dogs' kennel was huge with lots of space for both. This place is tucked away and is truly a "mountain retreat". We received pictures of them enjoying their walks. Richard was very helpful checking them in. Obviously they missed us, but seem to have had a good time. We will book with Richard and Kelly 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!”
“I am always hesitant to leave my dogs at a kennel because of the thought of having them locked up in a kennel all day or getting sick from other dogs. I am so happy to have found Pam. Roscoe, my boxer, stayed with Pam during our beach vacation. I felt much more at ease on vacation knowing Roscoe was well taken care of and having a blast at her gorgeous home. I received updates with pictures each night. I would highly recommend her services for your dogs while you are away. From the adorable pictures of Roscoe taken by Pam while we were away, he made himself right at home. Thank you so much Pam!!”

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. At the moment I can be open anytime of the week, and visiting houses multiple times in the day to ensure that your furry friend feelings loved and cared for throughout the day. Whether that's a potty break, a snack, or a big ole tummy rub. I’m a teacher on summer break though I do have a part time evening job that starts at 430 my husband comes home at 4 and probably loves dogs even more than me. I have a large fenced backyard and plenty of room in my house for exploring. We do have a small rescue Chihuahua, but she is friendly and very kind.
“Lawdy was very kind and professional and took great of our dog! We even reached out on just a days notice and it wasn't a problem whatsoever! Would recommend her for sure!”
“Olivia always has been so wonderful to Gatsby. Always making sure Gatsby gets her exercise. The whole family has been so understanding and so delightful to see. We always trust Olivia and Samantha to keep Gatsby as she feels comfortable & so happy to stay with them. We all are so excited to visit her favorite dog sitter again! Thank you all!! -Stacie, Chris and Gatsby”

“Jessica took great care of our two cats while we were away on vacation. She was attentive and responsive to our requests; including going the extra mile like getting our mail, and watering our plants. We will be using her again for sure! :)”
About: In addition to my Vet Tech training and work in vet clinics, I've been the proud "Mom" to many feline companions over the years. Until about 2 years ago, we had 5 adopted cats that grew up together until the last one passed at 21 years old in 2024! We have since adopted 2 senior cats who have brought a whole new dynamic into our lives. (Friends tell me they want to return in the next life as one of my cats because of the high priority and extraordinary love I give to each and every one.) One of the things I appreciate most about cats is their sense of independence and unique personalities. If I'm asked to care for your felines, I promise to treat them as I would my very own.

I also have experience with senior animals. My parents chihuahua is 20 years old and is also blind/deaf and I am always their first call for a sitter! I have two dogs of my own and they are my babies! I can’t wait to meet yours! I currently work at a Taco Bell as a General Manager. I make my own schedule so I will be able to squeeze in clients last minute! I work 8-10hrs a day so it will be no problem for me to be able to visit with your pups before and after my shifts! I am a master at following directions! I can follow any list of directions you would like followed while i am house sitting/pet sitting! I have experience crating animals & also walking on a leash!
“Valerie has watched my kitty, Sammy, three times now. She shows up as promised and sends me photos of my sweet boy. She doesn’t hesitate to contact me with questions or to reassure that Sammy is fine. I’d recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I’ve never had a cat until I was grown, my mom and grandma have always been scared of them and more of dog people. I went to the shelter and was determined to get over my generational fear of cats. Learning to care for a cat while being timid made me also learn how specific cats are some like to be brushed and some you can’t even look at the wrong way. Any cat I meet I always try to feel them out and see what they enjoy most !
“Mandy is wonderful with my almost 5 year old Sheltie and 16 month old Golden Retriever. She is very dependable and takes great care of my girls. I would recommend her for drop in visits!”
About: Although I don't have a my cats of my own, I love animals of all kinds. I have experience in feeding and caring after cats from when I was a teenager. I would be honored to carr for your pets while you're away, imagine if they were my own
“This was the second time we used Sage and she was once again great. She took great care of our cat and was also willing to do some watering. She is very thorough, reliable, kind and considerate. Very easy to work with. I have no hesitation recommending her to others.”
“Adrianna was great to work with and quick to respond to any communication. She had a calm presence that immediately soothed our dogs, including an anxious older dog. We were very comfortable leaving them in her hands for the weekend. Will book again!”
About: I grew up taking care of my family dog and cats, and have cared for my own dogs and cats for the past 7 years. I have owned chickens since the beginning of 2022. Pets are part of the family, and if they stay with me, they will be treated as such! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to take breaks throughout the day, which I use to take my dogs outside. I am also able to spend all day with my animals and any animals I would board. After getting off work, I love taking walks outside with my dogs. I have a fenced in park 2 minutes down the road from my house where I take my dogs to run unleashed. I have a upstairs and a downstairs that would allow for me to spend one-on-one time with a boarded pet and keep them separated from my own animals.

“My dog Max appeared to have a wonderful time at Richard and Kelly’s. It’s awesome to have found a place close to work and home to take him for daycare :) 100% going again !!”
“Emily and Bunker are what everyone hopes to find for your pet. She is truly compassionate about your pet as soon as they meet. Our puppy felt right at home. It was evident after day one he was in good hands and had the best time! He looks forward to his next visit as well as us!”
“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!”

“Jessica has been a wonderful caretaker & companion to our sweet, old dogs. I would definitely recommend her to my family, friends, & co-workers for their pet care needs. Jessica was so nice to meet us prior to booking her services & sent pictures of her visit, as well as bring our sweet boys a treat or two. Our dogs usually have terrible separation anxiety & stop eating, yet with Jessica's help they didn't miss a meal, a belly rub, a treat, or a walk. Thank you so much Jessica for taking such good care of our furry family members! We appreciate you.”

About: When you're away, your pets deserve more than a quick visit—they deserve knowledgeable, compassionate care from someone who understands their health, comfort, and unique personalities. My journey in animal care began long before I became a registered nurse. I worked as a kennel manager and completed most of a veterinary technician program before a family illness led me to pursue "human" nursing. That unique combination of veterinary training and healthcare experience allows me to provide attentive, responsible care for your beloved pets. What Sets Me Apart: - Former Kennel Manager with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments - Extensive experience with cats, including shy, senior, and special-needs pets - Registered Nurse accustomed to careful observation, medication management, and responding calmly to unexpected situations - Formal Veterinary Technician Training with education in animal health, behavior, and basic medical care - Experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, and other small pets Services Available Dog sitting Cat sitting Daily visits and companionship Walks and exercise Feeding and medication administration Puppy and senior pet care Vacation and weekend coverage Photo and text updates for pet parents I understand that pets are family. My goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you confidence and peace of mind. Professional. Experienced. Compassionate. Contact me to schedule a meet-and-greet and learn how I can help care for your furry family members. I am currently semi-retired, so I have flexibility in my schedule to hopefully meet your needs. I like to try to keep pets in their regular routine while their owners are away, so I will do my best to work with you on that. Although we have space to care for your pets in our home/land, we don't have a fenced in property and I wouldn't want to stress my own pets with "strangers" in the house. (I also feel that keeping a pet in their home environment is much less stressful for them than relocating them.) I'd be happy to come to your home to and provide quality care to your four-legged (or less) family members. I have owned my own home my entire adult life, so I will honor yours as if it were my own.

I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, including large breeds, and am comfortable administering oral medications, providing bathing and basic grooming care, and handling dogs with different temperaments and needs.

About: I have been raising and caring for a variety of animals for over 25 years! Having experience with all kinds of animals, I know the importance of meeting the needs of each animal and giving it the love and care it deserves and desires. I have several families that reach out to me when they are planning a trip so that I can care for their pets while they are away. I understand the importance of maintaining the pet owners routine, commands, and affection with their pets to help reduce anxiety and stress while they are away. My goal is to love their pets as if they are my own. I have cared for our own dogs as seniors and have experience with failing body functions and know how to administer medications and assist the animal with getting up and moving around. I also have much experience with puppies since I breed Australian Shepherds and care for the puppies from the time they are born until they are at an appropriate age and health standard to go to their new families. I am so excited to meet many other pet families in our area and love on your pet so you can feel comfortable and at peace any time you need to travel and your pet has to stay behind. It’s hard enough to say good-bye, so having peace of mind on how they will be cared for while you are away can make a good trip a GREAT one!! I am available most days of the week for 24/7 care since we are a homeschooling family and I am a stay at home mom. Pets are allowed in our home as long as they get along well with other pets and children. I do have an in-ground fence and collars that I can use to teach your pet to stay in our yard. I also have two nice size kennels that give dogs plenty of room to wander inside and outside the kennel walls.
About: As a devoted & experienced SAHM, I have proudly cared for a variety of animals for over 15 years. Dogs, cats, rabbits - you name it! Families entrust their furry companions to my care, often rebooking my services due to their satisfaction & peace of mind. From feeding and exercise to cozy snuggles and playtime, I will create a joyful, nurturing environment where your pets thrive & your family feels confident in my care. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my routines because my schedule is flexible. I ensure all of your pets needs are met with consistency & love. My home will provide a welcoming environment for pets to feel comfortable and safe. They will be able to safely roam the house (unless otherwise stated), get on the furniture, and will be able to adjust calmly. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, or pet daycare, my services suit the specific needs of each pet and client. For dog walking, I take pups on enjoyable strolls in the neighborhood or nearby parks, providing them with exercise and fresh air. If house sitting is required, I ensure the pets receive round-the-clock care, maintaining their routines, and offering companionship in the comfort of their own home. In the case of pet daycare, I create an engaging atmosphere filled with toys, interactive play, and socialization opportunities, allowing pets to have a fun-filled day while their owners are away. Regardless of the service provided, I prioritize safety, hygiene, and regular communication with pet owners, ensuring they are informed and at ease throughout the entire process.
About: Animals are my passion! I have experience with giving medication to animals, dealing with anxious animals, and other maintenance concerns regarding your furry friend(s). I will treat your pets and animals as if they were my own, so there is no need to look any further! :) I am currently going to school, but I am able to commute on days other than Monday and Wednesday during the fall 2025 semester. I would appreciate listing any medications that you animals may need and when those ought to be given to them. While I cannot provide my own home for your animals getaway, I would love to make your animals feel like they are not far from home while you're away. If you leave explicit instructions regarding what you would like me to do while in your residence, you can trust that they will be followed and respected.

“Candace was a great sitter! Her parents were helpful as well. Cassie was in good hands and was well taken care of. We were so thankful they accommodated us picking up Cassie after our evening flight.”
“We were in Callaway, VA for a wedding and we left our pup with Maribel and her family for the day while we attended the event. Leading up to our trip, Maribel put me at ease with fast and professional communication and flexibility when our drop-off time changed. During the visit, Maribel shared awesome pictures of our pooch in action. Upon pickup, pup was all smiles and tail wags. It is evident that Maribel and her family treat your pet like their own during boarding. We were able to attend the wedding worry-free, knowing that Dante was in great hands. I HIGHLY recommend Maribel for your pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Jody took wonderful care of our pup! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter. Our puppy had an amazing time on her farm, especially enjoying the chance to play and socialize with the other dogs. Jody made sure he felt loved and well cared for every step of the way. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“We are so happy with Lupin's first stay with Emily! We had to go out of town for a funeral only a week after adopting Lupin so we were nervous about his reaction to a new environment so soon after bringing him home, but Emily was great and put us at ease right from the start. She kept us apprised of all his activities, including his interactions with other pets, and sent updates and pictures which let us know he was in good hands. Lupin had a great time and we are very happy with our first experience with Rover. Thank you Emily!”
“My dogs' kennel was huge with lots of space for both. This place is tucked away and is truly a "mountain retreat". We received pictures of them enjoying their walks. Richard was very helpful checking them in. Obviously they missed us, but seem to have had a good time. We will book with Richard and Kelly 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!”
“Lawdy was very kind and professional and took great of our dog! We even reached out on just a days notice and it wasn't a problem whatsoever! Would recommend her for sure!”

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!!”
