“This was our first time leaving Zoey with Emily. We were very pleased with the wonderful photos we received during our trip . Zoey was very well cared for while we were away. We will definitely use Emily’s service moving forward during our travels. I think Zoey was very happy there too?”
“Shannon did such an amazing job taking care of our pups while we were away on vacation. They got lots of play time and got along really well with their dogs as well. Our dogs got such great care and looked so happy in all the photos we received each day!”
“I contacted Marah very last minute to watch my dogs for me for the weekend and she responded almost instantly. When i took my dogs over for a quick meet and greet they immediately made friends with the other dogs there and Marah treated them like they were her own. I received picture and text updates about how they were doing daily. They got to play with other dogs at her house and at the dog park over the weekend which I'm sure they loved. When i picked then up on Sunday they were both thoroughly exhausted. I will definitely be bringing them back”

“My Shitzhu twins spent their first stay with John. I could not have asked for a better caregiver. John gave regular updates, spent quality time with the dogs, and provided absolutely first-class care, as good or better than if they were at home. They will definitely be visiting John again.”
About: The house my parents moved into when I was only 4 weeks old was unfortunately a dumping ground for unwanted animals. Before I could even walk, I was cuddling with any animal that showed up at our door. This instilled a passion within me that I can finally turn into a profession. From Rescue and fostering to training dogs and showing horses, animals have always been a huge part of my life. In addition to my Management degree, I have an Associate of Science Degree with a major in Animal Science and a specialization in Agriculture. I completed an AKC handlers’ course which focused on reading your dog’s body language to understand their needs. Being so heavily involved in rescue, I have history and experience in dealing with reactive and/or selective dogs. I have many safety features depending on the animals needs including crates, double hung baby gates and 6 ft chain link fence that is separated into two yards. I also offer pet waste removal services. Feel free to send me a note if you have any questions. After a successful 25year business management career, I am now turning my lifetime passion of animal care into a profession. This year I started up my own business, "G'MA DOES". I offer a range of services from dog walking and pet sitting to animal waste removal. I like to stay active! While I have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from multiple trainers, what I hold most dear is the ongoing information I take in from animal behaviorists such as Cesar Millan. Remember, when you first meet a strange dog practice NO TOUCH, NO TALK, NO EYE CONTACT! *LICENSED AND INSURED* In my house we call it "FURniture" for a reason. I use the "crate and rotate" regimen as needed and for feeding. I also have baby gates at every doorway. My entire backyard is a 6 ft chain length fence and I have it separated into two secured areas for exercise. Inside, one room is a dedicated cat room for litterboxes toys etc. The other two bedrooms will be dedicated safe spaces used for play, overnight stays, or whatever the situation calls for.
“Kimberly was amazing! She really makes your fur babies feel at home and loved. I constantly got showered with pictures of my babies and how they were doing. They will definitely be going back!”
“Sailor liked Donna immediately! We could tell he enjoyed his stay with her because he licks his paws incessantly when left alone, but they were bone dry when we picked him up from Donna. She is a kind and gentle dog-lover. We will definitely rebook soon!”
“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
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. 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!
“Elise was amazing! She took my booking at the last minute and cared for my dog, Mix, as if he were her own. While I was away, she sent plenty of updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Mix felt loved and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking Elise again in the future. Highly recommend her services!”
“Selena was an 11th hour request and she accommodated me and my little ones with no issues at all. Selena kept all 3 of my dogs for 3.5 days and they enjoyed their time with her. She kept me posted with pictures and an update. She asked questions if she saw something odd and she let me know how they were doing. I would not have gone on vacation had I not felt comfortable with our first conversation where she told me that she allows the dogs to roam the house and be part of the family. ❤️ if you book with Selena, you can have peace of mind! I'll be booking with her again, no doubt!”
“I came home to a happy dog! I know having my energetic lab for a rainy weekend was not easy. I appreciate the flexibility with drop-off and pickup times and I love her way with animals. I'll be a lot less uneasy about leaving my pup after this good experience.”
“Our dog Gatsby just got home from another wonderful experience with Samantha and Olivia. Gatsby had such an amazing time getting to cuddle and play with Olivia again. We can already tell that Gatsby will be excited to visit her favorite dog sitter again in the future! -Stacie, Chris and Gatsby”
“Michelle is the most wonderful babysitter for our sweet Lola. I can’t express how grateful I am to have found such a kind, communicative, and trustworthy person to watch our pup! Thank you, Michelle!”
“They were absolutely wonderful and super nice. They took Reggie on short notice but gave him all sorts of love and cuddles. Their dogs upon first meeting did not react negatively with our dog and was not territorial at all. We got text notifications from them and they sent photos before bed to let us know how he’s doing. We felt super comfortable leaving our pup with them. If I lived in the Roanoke area they would absolutely be my number one choice every time! I cannot express how grateful I am for them.”

“Michael took great care of Daisy (at an especially tough time for her: right after we made a big move). Great, professional, and super reasonable rates. Thanks, Michael!”
“Becca is a fantastic pet sitter to have for all your pet needs. She was very professional in her preparation and detailed in her visit summaries- I knew my kitties were in great hands while gone and her love for animals is evident! Thanks so much, Becca!”
“Eve was FANTASTIC and went above and beyond during her visits with our cat, Spooky. Unfortunately I had to find a sitter last minute, but Eve responded immediately. She was communicative, accommodating, and so kind to us and our kitty. Could not have asked for a better sitter!!”
“Jade always takes excellent care of my pets! She is attentive to detail and always leaves my place the same (or better) than how I left it. My cat was congested this past stay and she even ran a hot shower to give him some time in a steam room to help him out. She consistently goes above and beyond!”
“Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.”
“Rebecca did a fabulous job with our Leo. She even added on taking car of the stray kitty and our neighbor’s free range chickens. Very responsive and very caring. We highly recommend. We will be repeat customers!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats ranging in ages my entire life. I would love to treat your pets like my own. I have experience with separation anxiety in dogs, mischievous chewers, puppy training, and severe food allergies. I am confident in giving medicines to your fur babies as my own often find themselves taking medications. I also know how important maintaining your pups daily routine can be while you are gone. I am a teacher on summer break, therefore I am available all day to work with your pet babies! Would love to hang out with your pet on the greenway or just in the yard and fill my days with some puppy smiles. I currently have two dogs of my own Biscuit and Rusty with very unique needs. Rusty has been my companion for the last 9 years. He’s been through many moves and adjustments with me. Currently Rusty is beginning to show signs of arthritis so we are adjusting our care to best fit our little old man. More recently, my husband and I adopted a 1 1/2 year old Pit Bull named Biscuit. Biscuit has allowed me to gain experience caring for a dog with extreme allergies. She is the most playful of the two and is always keeping us laughing. I have experience giving daily medicine as well as dealing with an upset doggy stomach. We love our two fur babies and treat them as part of our family and I will extend this love and care to your fur babes too!
“Katlin was awesome! She stopped by and checked ok my cat. She was great at communicating with me. She sent me so many photos and videos! I will definitely be hiring her again ☺️”
“Amanda did everything I needed her to do. To my surprise one of them actually let her pet them and the other one came out of hiding. They don’t usually come out of hiding when people come to our house.”
“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.”
“Will is awesome! This was our first time using Will and he did a great job. I was gone for 9 days and was updated constantly. One of my cats gets spicy and temperamental. Will handled it with ease and got her back to feeling comfortable within a few days. When I came home my cats were happy and my house was clean. Everything was just as I left it. Thanks will!”

“Emily did such a great job helping us feel more comfortable with leaving our dog Gamora at daycare. She has never stayed with a stranger before just close family. I think Gamora really enjoyed her stay with Emily, she got to play with some new friends and came home tired and content. We are very grateful to find someone we can trust to watch our baby (Gamora🐶).”
“Samantha was great!! I left my two miniature Aussies with her for the first time and she took great care of them. Sent photos and updates throughout the day which was so reassuring to me! I will definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
“We could not have asked for a better experience with Kimberly! She’s communicative and flexible, and Wilson is happy and tired after a fun day of playing! We look forward to many more fun days for Wilson with her!”
“Very accommodating and took great care of our dogs! Lots of communication throughout the day, which made us feel extra comfortable and assured us that our dogs were having a great time. Would absolutely book again!”

“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.”
“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!”
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.

About: I am a lover of animals! As someone who travels as well I know how it can feel to leave your fur babies so it is important that there is communication and love for them while you are gone!

“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!”

“Kiera was awesome and super reliable! She came on time everyday that we had scheduled and gave my pup lots of love and attention. She was quick to respond, flexible, and followed directions to a T. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to spoil their pup with a nice midday walk.”
About: Aside from having a dog in my family my whole life, I've taken care of many dogs over the years. From my neighbor's golden retriever in high school (who I would sneak over to play with when she was out in the yard) to a few dogs in my neighborhood now, I love to get to know the dogs that I help take care of. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting, both in my home and visiting the dog's home. I'm also happy to provide baths and other special care as needed. As a stay at home dad, I have a flexible schedule and can provide a lot of attention for dogs visiting our home, as well as work in a daily walk if that's part of their normal routine. We have a large fenced yard that your dog can enjoy. We've had a variety of dogs stay with us either with or without crates and we can create separate areas with gates if necessary. If your dog stays with us, I have a flexible schedule to provide a lot of attention and with a family of 5 there's always someone around to play with, pet, or sit with your dog. Our friendly beagle is always happy to have a new friend to play with and he's more than willing to share our daily walks around the neighborhood with another friend.
About: I have assisted with dogs my entire life and they have always been in the best care and never needed for anything while with me. I have unlimited time to devote to pet-sitting especially during the day and any dog will be my sole responsibility while my son is in school. I will always give them my undivided attention and interact and care for them as if they were my own and make them the focus.
“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!”

“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!”

“Kim was awesome! Ms. Binky is recovering from CCL surgery so she is a bit of a special needs case as she works on getting her ROM back. After each visit I got a super-cute pic of Binky and I could tell she was happy with the visit because she was playing with a toy in one picture and carrying her favorite ball in the other. I will definitely book Kim again and I know that Binky will give two paws up for the next visit.”
“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.”
“Elise was amazing with my 2 dogs! She was super flexible with my timing requests and even offered to let them out a second time if i needed. She showed up right on time for the 30 minute walk i booked and walked them for a full 31 minutes. Elise was responsive, tracked the walk in Rover and sent me photos of them. Prior to the walk she also came over to meet the dogs and myself so I could show her how to get in and where everything was. She went above and beyond and I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Cindy has been amazing with my pup Raleigh. She has been flexible for me, sweet to him, and gives him a walk and snuggles. I get great pictures and updates! I absolutely recommend her!”

About: The house my parents moved into when I was only 4 weeks old was unfortunately a dumping ground for unwanted animals.

I have many safety features depending on the animals needs including crates, double hung baby gates and 6 ft chain link fence that is separated into two yards. I also offer pet waste removal services. Feel free to send me a note if you have any questions. After a successful 25year business management career, I am now turning my lifetime passion of animal care into a profession. This year I started up my own business, "G'MA DOES". I offer a range of services from dog walking and pet sitting to animal waste removal. I like to stay active! While I have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from multiple trainers, what I hold most dear is the ongoing information I take in from animal behaviorists such as Cesar Millan. Remember, when you first meet a strange dog practice NO TOUCH, NO TALK, NO EYE CONTACT! *LICENSED AND INSURED* In my house we call it "FURniture" for a reason. I use the "crate and rotate" regimen as needed and for feeding. I also have baby gates at every doorway. My entire backyard is a 6 ft chain length fence and I have it separated into two secured areas for exercise. Inside, one room is a dedicated cat room for litterboxes toys etc. The other two bedrooms will be dedicated safe spaces used for play, overnight stays, or whatever the situation calls for.
“Kimberly was amazing! She really makes your fur babies feel at home and loved. I constantly got showered with pictures of my babies and how they were doing. They will definitely be going back!”
“Sailor liked Donna immediately! We could tell he enjoyed his stay with her because he licks his paws incessantly when left alone, but they were bone dry when we picked him up from Donna. She is a kind and gentle dog-lover. We will definitely rebook soon!”
“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”
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. 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!
“Elise was amazing! She took my booking at the last minute and cared for my dog, Mix, as if he were her own. While I was away, she sent plenty of updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Mix felt loved and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking Elise again in the future. Highly recommend her services!”
“Selena was an 11th hour request and she accommodated me and my little ones with no issues at all. Selena kept all 3 of my dogs for 3.5 days and they enjoyed their time with her. She kept me posted with pictures and an update. She asked questions if she saw something odd and she let me know how they were doing. I would not have gone on vacation had I not felt comfortable with our first conversation where she told me that she allows the dogs to roam the house and be part of the family. ❤️ if you book with Selena, you can have peace of mind! I'll be booking with her again, no doubt!”
“I came home to a happy dog! I know having my energetic lab for a rainy weekend was not easy. I appreciate the flexibility with drop-off and pickup times and I love her way with animals. I'll be a lot less uneasy about leaving my pup after this good experience.”
“They were absolutely wonderful and super nice. They took Reggie on short notice but gave him all sorts of love and cuddles. Their dogs upon first meeting did not react negatively with our dog and was not territorial at all. We got text notifications from them and they sent photos before bed to let us know how he’s doing. We felt super comfortable leaving our pup with them. If I lived in the Roanoke area they would absolutely be my number one choice every time! I cannot express how grateful I am for them.”
“They loved my strong dog! He doesn't pull for me but he pulls for everyone else! Second time using these kind people and this time they helped me last min! So thankful!”
“David was awesome with our very high energy, sometimes challenging, yet sweet Calvin. David sent us reports and pictures every day which made our trip that much more relaxing and put our minds at ease. We couldn't be more grateful to David and his excellent care of our boy while we were on the road. We recommend David 100% and hope to call on him again. Thank you, David!”
“Ashley and her family were great! She sent us pictures and videos of our pups throughout the weekend. I don’t think my lab wanted to leave when I picked them up. We will definitely use her again.”
“She is someone who is incredibly devoted to animals; her dedication and love are boundless. I had the absolute best experience knowing that Mia was staying in a home filled with plenty of attention, patience, and love. Karlie is always in constant communication, too. She has dogs of her own, and they truly made Mia's stay much more fun, as Mia is super friendly. Mia returned home ready to sleep and rest after days filled with fun and endless running around—in fact, she didn't even want to leave, given how wonderfully she had been treated at Karlie's house!”
