“John is an excellent sitter! I can’t say enough good things about him. He took such good care of our dog, sent twice daily updates, and provided lots of walks and enrichment activities for him while we were out of town. We know our boy Lu enjoyed his stay!”
“Theresa took excellent care of Lucy. Very happy with our experience and would totally have our dog stay there again. She was enthusiastic of a meet in greet, wanted to learn about our dog, accommodated refrigerated food, very communicative throughout the stay, and Lucy seemed very happy there! Thanks so much, Theresa!”
“I’m a little offended but very impressed. 😂 When we came to pick up our pup he was visibly bummed that we were there to take him away from Samantha. He clearly had an absolute blast and immediately passed out in the car on the drive home. This was his first night away from us but we received lots of pictures and updates and felt very at peace knowing he was having fun and well cared for. Thank you for putting my dog mom mind at ease!”
“I can tell my dog really enjoyed her time at Shannon’s house. She was a little nervous at first, but Shannon went the extra mile and slept on the couch with her to make her feel more comfortable. I will absolutely reach out to her again.”
“It is my first time leaving my fur babies with Marah, but I never had any doubts about leaving them in her care. I will use her in the future. My dogs were well-cared for and my puppy’s social skills are improved. A+ recommendation from me.”
“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!”
“Shawn did an awesome job with my doodle. She sent a couple pictures each day while we were out of town. When we got home my doodle slept all day, I think she was exhausted from playing with Shawn’s 2 dogs. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!”
“Nikko loves it here, Ashley is so attentive and loving my boy loves her home and family. She makes leaving my fur baby much easier when we have to ! We have used her twice now and wouldn’t send him anywhere else!”
“All of Jody’s reviews live up to the hype! I was so worried about someone new watching my dog with separation anxiety, but he didn’t even want to leave! My dogs love Jody, and I see why. She truly cares about the quality of their stay. Thank you so much Jody!”
“Highly recommend!! Kimberly was flexible with our last minute needs and is great with communicating. We felt completely safe leaving our pup and had a great pickup too. I recommend supporting her business 100%.”
“Absolutely amazing. So great with pick up and drop off and I got lots of pictures of my happy dog. 100% will be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“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!”
“She's definitely easy to communicate with. Left my kitty cat with her last Thanksgiving and she welcomed with open arms. I'm sure my baby had fun with her. Thanks for having her!”
“Katie is my go to trusted dog sitter, she has taken awesome care of my 2yr old lab for the last two years. She has been a life saver with putting our minds at ease that our lab is being well cared for while on vacation. Thanks Katie!!”
“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.”
“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!”

“This was our first time using Rover. Cate made us feel at ease and less anxious leaving our kitties for the week. She sent pictures everyday and was easy to communicate with. We will be asking for her again for sure!”
“Updates from Brooke helped ease my mind of leaving Silva for my trip. Loved seeing pictures and getting updates that he was doing amazing. Was so thrilled to come home to a happy, healthy cat after my time away.”
“Ashley was super communicative about my cat and sent photos every time she visited. She was reliable, friendly, and seemed to take a genuine interest in my not very friendly cat. I would definitely ask her to look after my pet again!”
“Kim was fantastic watching my two cats! I was gone for a little under a week and she was attentive to them and played with them when they wanted during her drop-ins. They both were happy when I came back and one who doesn't eat a lot when I'm gone had eaten more food than typical, so that was fantastic! I will definitely consider Kim in the future.”
“Samantha was wonderful with our cat and we felt totally at ease from initial visit to meet us and Gracie, throughout the days that she came to care for her. We will definitely request Samantha's time with us again and highly recommend her!”
About: Even though I haven't had a cat of my own recently, I still love being able to care for them as well! I actually just recently watched over my best friend's cats while she was away for a multiple day trip, so being able to take care of your's should go just as smoothly!
“This is my first time using rover and I had a great experience. Katie is trustworthy and super professional. I wasn’t nervous about leaving my babies or home with her. I will definitely use her every time.”
“Booked Amanda last second while going out of town for 4 days. Amanda replied immediately everytime I reached out and offered daily updates with pictures/videos. I would absolutely recommend Amanda and will be reaching out again in the future.”
“Jessika is so great with Beau! He's always entertained, loved and spoiled with her. She gives him little massages which puts him right to sleep! Definitely would recommend her for your pet needs.”
“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.”
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.
“Cindy did a super job of taking care of our two cats! She arrived promptly every day and managed all the food, litter box and medication needs. She also provided great photos. We will definitely want Cindy again whenever we travel.”
“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 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.
“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!!!”

“Marsh is great! I needed a last minute sitter and she was able to accommodate. Very friendly and loving atmosphere. All the animals looked healthy and happy and responded great towards her. Thank you Marah.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities. 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. I also have experience dog sitting three dogs for an entire month, which taught me how to manage multiple pets at once while keeping up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving each dog the attention they needed. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they're my own. I'll provide plenty of love, exercise, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident that they're in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and because I have a very flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can easily adapt to your pet's routine. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I have two friendly, loving dogs who enjoy being around other pets, as well as a cat who mostly keeps to himself. My home has plenty of space for pets to relax and play. While my backyard isn't fenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs will always be kept on a leash to ensure their safety.
“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: 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!
“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: 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. 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.
About: We enjoy having a dog. We do walks, sniff games, chicken broth ice cubes for happy hour in our fenced in yard. We want your dog to feel like they are on vacation when they are with us. They might be spoiled when we give them back. Sorry about that. My husband is fully retired and I have a hybrid position. At least one person will be home to attend to your fur babies needs. We enjoy taking care of a dog. There are no children or pets in our non smoking home. We have a fenced in yard and a nice neighborhood for taking walks. We also have an Apple air tag to put on your dogs collar. We enjoy being outside with your dog in the yard.
About: I have had the pleasure to take care of animals my whole life. After going to boot camp I realized how much animals actually give you peace of mind on a daily basis and I have taken care of neighbors animals and family ever since. I have plenty of space for animals of all sizes and a fenced in yard for dogs who need to run. I love to go on walks as I am very active and have to keep my 2 mile up always. I am also very patient for kitties who just want to lay around and sleep. If given the opportunity I would love to spend my time with the animals you love. I am in the national guard so I work 1 weekend a month and the rest is free! I am currently trying to make animal sitting an everyday thing so I can work out any times needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space inside as well. I have a doggy door for smaller dogs but I can let the bigger ones out just as easily. I do have a cat that is very friendly but she can go in my room if needed. There is room in my house to play and room for an animal to be alone if they wanted or needed
“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!”
“Loved having Cindy watch my new rescue pup ! Gave me updates and pictures throughout the day. Was super flexible with my work schedule . Very responsive . Will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: You can trust your pup with me! My love for dogs and animals started when I was a child and has grown into a deep bond and genuine care for every dog I meet. I truly go above and beyond when it comes to pet care — and in my book, a little spoiling is always included. ;) I’ve had decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs since 2004, from training my first Mini Schnauzer, Ally, as a puppy to providing specialized senior care as she got older. In 2009, my husband and I rescued our first senior Schnauzer, Smokey, and cared for him through several medical issues including seizures, gastroenteritis, and inner ear infections. I’m extremely attentive to a dog’s needs, personality, comfort, and safety, and I always stay alert to make sure they’re happy, secure, and out of trouble. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I would care for your dog like one of my own. *Please note: I can only accommodate dogs up to 15 lbs. Requests above this size will be declined. Please do not request bookings for larger dogs. I’m a stay-at-home pet parent, which allows me to give my full attention and care to both my own dog and the pets staying with me. At our home, pets are treated like family and will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, but dogs will always be supervised while outside. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, routines, and needs to help them feel safe and relaxed while away from home. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness, especially for senior dogs or pets with special needs.
“Chloe was really great to work with our big dog. He has separation anxiety and can be a nervous and shy dog. She did a meet and greet beforehand, listened and asked questions about him. She also sent lots of photos and updates on his first day to make sure we knew he had settled and was doing okay. Really great experience to have for our 80lbs sensitive boy. Thank you!”

“Kim was amazing for my dog, Ginny! She came by to meet Ginny, played with her, and walked through the care she provides. She notifies when arriving and leaving, and she made my dog’s day much better by getting her out of the crate to play. Thanks, Kim!”
“Cindy made my pupper's first time with a Rover Professional easy and enjoyable. He's a gluten for attention and she was more than happy to provide him with all the attention and affection that he could take. A spectacular first impression for the services provided. 10/10 Would recommend.”

“Jessika was easily the best I’ve found in the app by far. I work long hours and require someone to stop by for a walk and food/water break. She was great with my puppy and even left a little surprise for her. My little girl seemed much less stressed after her visits and it completely removed the stress of worrying about her while working. I would absolutely recommend Jessika!”
“Gussie did a wonderful job taking care of Simba, our geriatric Lionhead bunny. She was on time, followed instructions and was excellent in helping us during a stressful time.”
About: I've had pets my whole life and love taking care of dogs and cats.

I treat every pet like they are my own! Aside from my own cats and dogs, I've cared for numerous foster animals through RCACP gaining valuable experience over the years.
“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!”

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!

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.
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 an excellent sitter! I can’t say enough good things about him. He took such good care of our dog, sent twice daily updates, and provided lots of walks and enrichment activities for him while we were out of town. We know our boy Lu enjoyed his stay!”
“Theresa took excellent care of Lucy. Very happy with our experience and would totally have our dog stay there again. She was enthusiastic of a meet in greet, wanted to learn about our dog, accommodated refrigerated food, very communicative throughout the stay, and Lucy seemed very happy there! Thanks so much, Theresa!”
“I’m a little offended but very impressed. 😂 When we came to pick up our pup he was visibly bummed that we were there to take him away from Samantha. He clearly had an absolute blast and immediately passed out in the car on the drive home. This was his first night away from us but we received lots of pictures and updates and felt very at peace knowing he was having fun and well cared for. Thank you for putting my dog mom mind at ease!”
“I can tell my dog really enjoyed her time at Shannon’s house. She was a little nervous at first, but Shannon went the extra mile and slept on the couch with her to make her feel more comfortable. I will absolutely reach out to her again.”
“It is my first time leaving my fur babies with Marah, but I never had any doubts about leaving them in her care. I will use her in the future. My dogs were well-cared for and my puppy’s social skills are improved. A+ recommendation from me.”
“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!”
“Nikko loves it here, Ashley is so attentive and loving my boy loves her home and family. She makes leaving my fur baby much easier when we have to ! We have used her twice now and wouldn’t send him anywhere else!”
“All of Jody’s reviews live up to the hype! I was so worried about someone new watching my dog with separation anxiety, but he didn’t even want to leave! My dogs love Jody, and I see why. She truly cares about the quality of their stay. Thank you so much Jody!”
“Highly recommend!! Kimberly was flexible with our last minute needs and is great with communicating. We felt completely safe leaving our pup and had a great pickup too. I recommend supporting her business 100%.”
“Absolutely amazing. So great with pick up and drop off and I got lots of pictures of my happy dog. 100% will be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“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!”
“She's definitely easy to communicate with. Left my kitty cat with her last Thanksgiving and she welcomed with open arms. I'm sure my baby had fun with her. Thanks for having her!”
“Katie is my go to trusted dog sitter, she has taken awesome care of my 2yr old lab for the last two years. She has been a life saver with putting our minds at ease that our lab is being well cared for while on vacation. Thanks Katie!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Erin and Matthew are the best! They are reliable and have great communication. I know my pup is safe and happy when he stays with them, and it’s such a relief to not have to worry!”
“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.”
