“John is amazing! He is so caring and thoughtful with our dog, Sadie. She loves him! He provided updates and pictures throughout the day and never missed a beat! I would recommend him to anyone looking for peace of mind about the care of your dog while you are away.”
“Donna always lavishes Sailor with love. He was excited to see her and loved every moment of his stay! He even got some doggy massages in her care! Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Best decision ever! Going out of town for 2 weeks, I knew I didn’t want my sweet dog to be housed at a kennel. Found Shannon’s reviews , she welcomed a visit from Spider & me and I knew this would be a perfect place for him . Great environment, lots of hugs , walks and play. Shannon sent pics & updates!”
“Penny and Evan are amazing!! I was so impressed with how much love and care they gave to Sushi and Sasha. They walked, played with and petted my two dogs, as well as sending photos and videos. The best part is that the dogs really loved them and felt home!! I highly recommend and definitely will come back.”
“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!”
“Marah was amazing! They treated my fur babies so great and her communication throughout the stay was awesome! Will definitely be using her services from here on out. Highly recommend ?”
“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.”
“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.”
“Ashley and her family were great! My pup has endless energy and I was concerned about leaving her for an extended stay. They are very gentle and sweet with all their guests, both human and canine! Their pup Delilah gets along with pretty much any dog, it would appear. I'll definitely be recommending them and using their services when the time comes again.”
“Kimberly and Jayden did an excellent job taking care of our older dog. He is definitely a dog who doesn't like change, and they were very kind and patient with him. They kept us updated with multiple texts and photos each day and were very responsive to any of our suggestions. We felt like our pup was in great hands. So sweet of them to send him home with a goody bag.”
“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!”
“It was our first time leaving Bucky with someone, but after seeing the place and meeting Richard and Kelly, we felt at ease knowing Bucky would be in great hands. They took GREAT care of him, and sent us pictures as well which we really enjoyed!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”

“Nicole was SO wonderful and did an excellent job of taking care of our cats. They are usually very nervous with new people, but they warmed up to Nicole super fast! She sent lots of pictures during the drop in visits and also made sure our cat took his medicine. We were so comfortable while being on an out of state trip knowing Nicole was stopping by and taking care of them! 10/10 would recommend and will rebook in the future :)”
About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.
“We couldn’t be any happier with the love and care Erica gave to our two dogs today. She sent lots of pictures, reviewed her visits, left a sweet card and brought them a toy each. We had no worries that they were looking bed and well cared for! I would highly recommend her!”
About: Bringing a wealth of experience, I offer personalized care that understands and respects the unique needs of your feline companion.

“Siara was great! Very communicative, and went above and beyond taking out the kitty trash and sweeping around the litter boxes at the last drop in. Our kitties were happy and healthy on our return. We will definitely use Siara again!”
“Once again, Briana came through! I wasn’t feeling well again and she came at the last minute. She went to Petsmart because I couldn’t get what I needed for Ozy and even got him a little gift. She is officially Ozy’s auntie now!”
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.
“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.”
“Amber was wonderful. She made sure our cats were taken care of when we were out of town and even went above and beyond when the bear got into our trash. Highly recommend.”

“Sage looked after and took the best care one could possibly take of a couple of older cats. Meanwhile her photos and updates of everything happening back at home were more than comforting and reassuring for a couple of anxious cat parents. She is a super nice person and made this so easy for both my partner and me as well as our cats Dave and Tiger!”
“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!”

“My Great Pyrenees stayed with Emily for daycare while we were in town visiting family! Emily was Amazing! She was quick to respond, sent LOTS of pictures, and kept us updated on our pup! Our pup seemed to have a great time and we would Recommend Emily anytime!”
“Candace was an amazing dog sitter. She took very good care of my fur baby! She took pictures of her, text me throughout the day, took her on walks, snuggled with her, played and more ♡ Couldn't ask for anything more ♡ Thank you Candace!!!!”
“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!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Leslie was fantastic and we have plans to use her in the future as well. She was willing to meet up before hand to see if her dog would get a long with mine as well as meet her. It was an instant hit. She took some pictures and sent them to us and her dog is lovely and gets along great with mine. I have already recommended her to others. Thank you for your understanding and great communication. I look forward to using your services again and knowing my pup is taken care of and treated great!!”
“Our previous sitter told me they are moving, which prompted me to search for a new sitter. I decided to try Rebecca, and am I glad I did! I was happy with our first sitter, but LuLu spent her time there just sniffing their yard and snuggling up on the couch with the sitter. She barely ate and wouldn't play with their dog. It was such a delight to see how happy LuLu was at Rebecca's place. She ran around the yard like I haven't seen her do since she was a puppy. When Rebecca thought LuLu needed a rest and brought her inside, LuLu whined to go back out, so out she went for more running around! Finally, she took a nap on the couch, then got up and ate all of her dinner. Then she settled down chewing on her toy until we came back for her. She was happy to see us, but gave Rebecca a tail wag when they said goodbye. I'm so glad LuLu found a place where she can thrive when we're gone. Now I won't hesitate to book a vacation! Rebecca was very attentive to the history I gave her about LuLu and my instructions about her routine and fears. We did a Meet & Greet on short notice, and Rebecca showed LuLu and me her back yard and inside her house. She assured me that she would never give LuLu an opportunity to run away. The way Rebecca gave me updates all day long assured me that LuLu was being well cared for and was having a great time. Rebecca is definitely Lulu's new sitter. I couldn't be happier with her care.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Shelby kindly accepted our last-minute request for a half-day daycare and took great care of Sancho. He seemed to have a wonderful time, and Shelby kept us updated with a photo. Thank you so much, Shelby!”

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.

Professionally, I have worked at a dog kennel where I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and supervising dogs in group play settings while ensuring safety and appropriate behavior.

I’m also available Monday-Wednesday at any time. :) I love spending time with furry friends, so I’m happy to fulfill whatever needs your pets may have! I love high energy walks and playing an intense game of fetch or tug of war, but I also love spending time with fur babies that may not be as energetic and may just want to relax or go on a slow paced stroll!

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.

About: I've taken care of my family's and neighbors' cats, dogs, horses, turtles, fish, ponies, chickens, and even a joey once! I have learned to administer transdermal medications, use cat inhalers, and give medications by mouth. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I love long walks and spending time outdoors, so if your dog has a lot of energy that’s fine with me! I also have gardening experience (my dad was an organic farmer and arborist) so your plants will be in good hands. I’m currently working part-time and mostly remotely, so I’ll have time to give your pet’s the attention and care they deserve. I freelance and have my own photography business so my schedule is flexible. I enjoy taking care of animals in their own home as I feel they take comfort and feel safe from a familiar setting which is important when there's a temporary change of caretaker.
“We've had an excellent experience with Ashlynn as our dog walker! She consistently let's us know when she's on her way, keeps us updated with pictures, and gives feedback on how the dogs did during their walk. Her communication is top-notch, and our dogs love her. We highly recommend Ashlynn to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
About: Hello fellow animal lovers! I'm here for all of your animal care needs! A little bit about me... I'm a mother to a 10 year old little boy, 1.5 year old French bulldog, 5 year old pug, 2 year old hound mix, 1 year old boxer, 3 kitty cats and a ball python. I have had chickens, ducks, and a couple of goats in the past and am comfortable with just about any critter. I am currently employed part time at a Veterinary clinic in Salem. I have also worked 5+ years at a boarding/grooming facility for dogs and cats. I am comfortable giving medications and bathing if needed. I've always loved any opportunity to work with animals and pet sitting and dog walking are a great opportunity for me to have a flexible schedule for my son and still make a living doing what I love. Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon! I am currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm usually able to accommodate whatever your needs may be.

About: I have a young black lab. Must like other dogs. I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up we had to bottle feed 3 kittens who lost their mother and I had an 80lb Retreiver/Sheppard mix and a Miniature Dachshund. I have never met an animal that didn't immediately trust me. I enjoy the company of animals and I feel I am very intune with them as well. I work but I can always make time for the needs of your pet because I understand that animals need certain things from me to be happy and satisfied. I currently don't have any pets in my home but I have a medium fenced in yard and I am located near the Greenway and my house has a sidewalk in the front and an alley in the back which is perfect for strolls around the neighborhood.
“Laiken has truly been wonderful for my dog and I. He is a puppy, and trying to learn a routine and schedule and she has gone above and beyond to help me. I work night shift and she helps make it work for me. I truly have found i can trust her in my home and with my dog. She updates me with everything she does with him. I will be continuing to have her hang out with my dog as long as she will be available to. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Best decision ever! Going out of town for 2 weeks, I knew I didn’t want my sweet dog to be housed at a kennel. Found Shannon’s reviews , she welcomed a visit from Spider & me and I knew this would be a perfect place for him . Great environment, lots of hugs , walks and play. Shannon sent pics & updates!”
“Penny and Evan are amazing!! I was so impressed with how much love and care they gave to Sushi and Sasha. They walked, played with and petted my two dogs, as well as sending photos and videos. The best part is that the dogs really loved them and felt home!! I highly recommend and definitely will come back.”
“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Ashley and her family were great! My pup has endless energy and I was concerned about leaving her for an extended stay. They are very gentle and sweet with all their guests, both human and canine! Their pup Delilah gets along with pretty much any dog, it would appear. I'll definitely be recommending them and using their services when the time comes again.”
“Kimberly and Jayden did an excellent job taking care of our older dog. He is definitely a dog who doesn't like change, and they were very kind and patient with him. They kept us updated with multiple texts and photos each day and were very responsive to any of our suggestions. We felt like our pup was in great hands. So sweet of them to send him home with a goody bag.”
“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!”
“It was our first time leaving Bucky with someone, but after seeing the place and meeting Richard and Kelly, we felt at ease knowing Bucky would be in great hands. They took GREAT care of him, and sent us pictures as well which we really enjoyed!”

“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”
“Our Maggie stayed with Taylor while we were gone for spring break. She had a great time and was well cared for. It’s important to me as a Dog Mom to know that my girl is well cared for while I am away and she came home wore out from all the playing with her new fur friends that she met.”
