Sitters already know Freedom Dog Park, Chadwick Farms Park, Cannon Parkway Park, and the Oak Street restaurants.

Looking for a Trusted Pet Sitter in Roanoke?
Roanoke may be small — officially named the “Unique Dining Capital of Texas” by the Texas House of Representatives — but it punches well above its weight when it comes to community, quality of life, and pet ownership. From the 17 lakes of the Seventeen Lakes master-planned community to the family-friendly streets of Chadwick Farms and the historic charm of Oak Street downtown, Roanoke is full of pet-loving families who need reliable local care. The challenge? Most pet sitting apps barely register Roanoke as its own city. You’ll get matched with sitters from Keller, Southlake, or even Fort Worth who’ve never been to your neighborhood.
DFW Pet Sitting has had sitters in the Roanoke area since 2003. Every pet sitter and dog walker we assign is a W-2 employee of our company — not an independent contractor, not a gig worker, and not someone who signed up on an app last week. They live in and around Roanoke, usually within five miles of your home, so they know your community, your parks, and your streets.
We’re not an app. We’re not a marketplace. When you book with us, you’ll meet your assigned pet sitter in person before your first service. That person becomes your sitter — the same face every time, someone your pets will recognize and trust.
Our owner and manager are available 24/7 by phone or text. We monitor every single visit through our pet sitting software. Phones are answered 6:00am–11:00pm Central. If something comes up, we have a full emergency backup protocol with 250+ employees across DFW ready to step in.
Why Roanoke Pet Owners Choose DFW Pet Sitting
We’re not an app — we’re an employer. Every pet sitter you’ll meet from DFW Pet Sitting is a W-2 employee. That means we handle hiring, screening, background checks, training, insurance, bonding, and ongoing management. You’re not trusting a stranger’s self-written profile — you’re trusting a company that has completed over one million pet care visits since 2003 and carries full commercial liability coverage on every single one. We have 250+ W-2 sitters across DFW.
Your sitter lives near Roanoke. We assign pet sitters who live within a five-mile radius of your home. Whether you’re in Seventeen Lakes off Byron Nelson Boulevard, Chadwick Farms near Cleveland-Gibbs Road, Fairway Ranch, the Highlands Glen area, or closer to historic downtown Roanoke, your sitter is local. Less drive time means more time with your pets — and faster response if anything changes. Nearby Trophy Club, Keller, Southlake, Justin, Northlake, and Argyle have their own pages rather than neighborhood lists dumped here. Westlake is coverage from this same Roanoke-area team.
One sitter, one key, one relationship. The person you meet at your free consultation is the only person who will ever enter your home. We don’t rotate sitters, we don’t send substitutes without your approval, and we don’t share your key or access code with anyone else. If your sitter has a true emergency, we follow our published Pet Sitting Emergency Protocol and contact you before making any changes.
We monitor every visit. Our management team tracks every scheduled visit in real time. If a sitter hasn’t checked in, we know within hours — not days. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Real insurance and bonding. Every sitter is covered under our company’s liability insurance and bonding. This isn’t a $1 million “guarantee” from an app — it’s actual commercial coverage.
Emergency backup that works. Life happens. If your sitter has an emergency, we don’t leave you scrambling. Our manager activates our emergency replacement protocol, notifies you immediately, and sends a qualified backup sitter. Nearby Trophy Club, Keller, Southlake, Justin, Northlake, and Argyle sitters provide additional backup coverage. With 250+ employees across DFW, your pets’ care is never interrupted.
Our Roanoke Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Services
Daily Dog Walking — Roanoke’s location along I-35W and SH-114 makes it a commuter hub — many residents work at Alliance, DFW Airport, or corporate offices in Southlake and Fort Worth. If your workday leaves your dog home alone for eight-plus hours, our midday dog walking service fills the gap. We visit on your schedule, provide a walk and bathroom break, refresh water, and give your dog the exercise and companionship they need to stay happy. Visits are 25 minutes. Dog walking plans start at $23.
Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting — Heading out of town? Your pets stay in their own home, in their own routine, with a sitter who already knows them. We handle feeding, medication, playtime, mail and package retrieval, light rotation, and daily photo updates. Roanoke families who take weekend trips or longer vacations love this service — no kennels, no boarding stress, just your pet at home with someone they trust. A standard drop-in is $25 for 25 minutes, one pet. Extra pet is $3.
Cat Sitting — Cats do best in their own territory — no carriers, no car rides, no unfamiliar smells. Your sitter visits on your schedule to feed, clean the litter box, provide fresh water, and spend quality one-on-one time. Many Roanoke cat owners tell us their cats are noticeably calmer with in-home care compared to boarding. See how a 25-minute Roanoke cat visit works.
Puppy & Senior Pet Care — Roanoke’s newer neighborhoods — Seventeen Lakes, Chadwick Farms, The Ranches — are full of young families with brand-new puppies who need extra visits for housebreaking, socialization, and energy management. Senior pets may need medication administration, gentle mobility support, or more frequent check-ins. We customize every care plan to your pet’s life stage.
Multiple Pet Households — Many Roanoke families have dogs, cats, and sometimes backyard chickens or small animals — especially on the larger lots in The Ranches and along the outskirts near Justin. We handle multi-pet households in a single visit with no surprise upcharges. Extra pet is $3.
Short-Notice & Holiday Coverage — Because our sitters live locally, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Holiday availability is managed well in advance to make sure Roanoke families are always covered. Thanksgiving and Christmas fill first. Call if you already have travel dates.
What Sets DFW Pet Sitting Apart from Apps Like Rover
Roanoke gate codes, Oak Street patio nights, and the weekday commute along I-35W and SH-114 are not a job for a stranger with a profile. You are hiring a managed W-2 employee of a company that has sat pets here since 2003. Most pet sitting apps barely register Roanoke as its own city. Side by side:
| Rover / Wag / Apps | DFW Pet Sitting | |
|---|---|---|
| Staff type | Independent contractors | W-2 employees |
| Background checks | Self-reported | Company-verified |
| Insurance | Limited or none | Full commercial liability |
| Management | No oversight | 24/7 on-call manager |
| Sitter assignment | Whoever accepts the job | Local, within 5 miles |
| Visit monitoring | Honor system | GPS-tracked, time-verified |
| Meet-and-greet | Optional | Always free, in-person |
| Emergency protocol | You’re on your own | Published, company-managed — backup from 250+ DFW staff |
Cat sitting in Roanoke
Cats do best in their own territory — no carriers, no car rides, no unfamiliar smells. Your sitter visits on your schedule to feed, clean the litter box, provide fresh water, and spend quality one-on-one time. Many Roanoke cat owners tell us their cats are noticeably calmer with in-home care compared to boarding. A visit is 25 minutes: fresh water, food the way you portion it, a scooped box, play, and a look at how your cat is actually doing. You get a photo.
Sitters handle pills, insulin, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and inhalers. If a cat hides in a Seventeen Lakes spare bedroom, a Chadwick Farms laundry room, or an Oak Street closet they have never fully mapped, they sit on the floor and wait. They do not leave without seeing the cat.
Once a day is the minimum for a healthy adult. Kittens, seniors, and medical cats need two. We will not leave a pile of food and a full box over a long holiday weekend.
Your Home’s Security Is Our Priority
We take a different approach from most pet sitting companies. Our sitters don’t wear branded uniforms or drive marked vehicles. There are no signs in your yard announcing that you’re away.
Your pet sitter looks like they could be a family member or neighbor stopping by. Nobody in your neighborhood will know you’re traveling. We don’t want to advertise at your expense — we want your house to look like someone is home.
This matters in Roanoke, where homes sit behind Seventeen Lakes gates, on family streets in Chadwick Farms and Fairway Ranch, and on larger lots in The Ranches. Historic downtown Oak Street is walkable and dog-friendly — a familiar, low-key presence at your home fits right in. Discretion isn’t a perk — it’s standard.
Meet our sitters
You meet your assigned Roanoke-area sitter in your home before the first paid visit. They are a W-2 employee, not a rotating contractor. Ashley and Laura in the office handle scheduling. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs a backup sitter from our 250+ staff. No photos on this page — you meet them in person.
Our Roanoke sitters work only within a 5-mile radius of where they live, covering Seventeen Lakes, Chadwick Farms, Fairway Ranch, The Ranches, Highlands Glen, Marshall Creek, Bluffview, and downtown Oak Street. The person you meet is the only person entering your home.
What clients say
Roanoke families review us on the same Google listing as the rest of DFW — 4.9 stars from 500+ reviews. That is the company listing, not a Roanoke storefront. We do not have a Roanoke office. Read the reviews, then meet your sitter in person.

Pet-Friendly Spots Our Roanoke Sitters Love
Roanoke’s small-town vibe makes it one of the most dog-friendly communities in the mid-cities. Here are a few favorites our local sitters recommend:
Freedom Dog Park — Roanoke’s dedicated off-leash dog park, located near Trophy Club. Separate areas for large and small dogs, water stations, shaded pavilions, and waste stations. A favorite gathering spot for Roanoke and Trophy Club dog owners — and the closest dedicated dog park to most Roanoke neighborhoods. Trophy Club trail notes live on our Trophy Club page rather than here.
Chadwick Farms Park — A neighborhood park off Cleveland-Gibbs Road with open green space, a playground, and walking paths. Leashed dogs welcome. Great for a quick after-work walk with your pup.
Cannon Parkway Park — Features a skatepark, basketball and tennis courts, sand volleyball, and open space for leashed dog walks. Located centrally in Roanoke with easy access from most neighborhoods.
Historic Downtown Oak Street — Roanoke’s charming downtown is officially one of the most dog-friendly small-town centers in DFW. Over 60 restaurants — many with dog-friendly patios — plus shops that welcome leashed dogs. Baja Cantina, The Brass Tap, Inzo Italian Kitchen, and Meat U Anywhere BBQ are all local favorites with outdoor seating where your dog is welcome.
Seventeen Lakes Trails — The Seventeen Lakes community has its own internal trail system winding around the community’s lakes, perfect for evening walks with your dog. Scenic, quiet, and well-maintained.
Roanoke Neighborhoods We Serve
Our Roanoke sitters cover the full city, including:
Seventeen Lakes — Roanoke’s signature master-planned community with 17 lakes, resort-style amenities, trails, pools, and a strong family-oriented culture. Northwest ISD schools. One of our most active service areas in the Roanoke zip code.
Chadwick Farms — A popular family neighborhood off Cleveland-Gibbs Road with its own park, strong community feel, and newer construction homes. High pet ownership.
Fairway Ranch — Established homes near Cox Elementary with a suburban feel and quick access to SH-114 and downtown Roanoke.
The Ranches / Ranches East — Larger lot properties on Roanoke’s outskirts with a more rural feel. Great for multi-pet households and families with dogs who love space.
Highlands Glen / Marshall Creek / Bluffview — Growing neighborhoods adding new families — and new pets — to the Roanoke community.
Downtown Roanoke / Oak Street corridor — The historic heart of the city. Mix of older homes, new luxury builds, and apartment communities. Walkable, charming, and very dog-friendly.
We also serve the surrounding communities of Trophy Club, Keller, Southlake, Westlake, Justin, Northlake, and Argyle from our Roanoke-area team. Those towns have their own pages — we do not dump their neighborhood lists here. Call and we’ll match you with the closest sitter regardless of the city line.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Sitting in Roanoke
How much does pet sitting in Roanoke cost?
A standard drop-in visit is $25 for 25 minutes, one pet. Extra pet is $3. Dog walking plans start at $23. We’re transparent about pricing — unlike apps that add service fees on top, our price is your price. See the rates page or call (214) 574-7387. The meet-and-greet is always free.
How do I know my Roanoke pet sitter is trustworthy?
Every sitter is a W-2 employee of DFW Pet Sitting Services. We run background checks, verify references, and carry full commercial liability insurance and bonding on every employee. The person you meet at your free consultation is the only person who will enter your home.
Do your pet sitters actually live near Roanoke?
Yes. We assign sitters who live within five miles of your home. Whether you’re in Seventeen Lakes, Chadwick Farms, Fairway Ranch, The Ranches, or near downtown Oak Street, your sitter is local to the Roanoke area.
Can I take my dog to the restaurants on Oak Street?
Many of Roanoke’s 60+ restaurants have dog-friendly patios — it’s part of what makes the city the “Unique Dining Capital of Texas.” Your sitter can share their favorites, and we’re always happy to recommend dog-friendly spots to our clients.
Do you have a Roanoke office I can walk into?
No. Roanoke is a city we serve, not a storefront. There is no Roanoke street address, no lobby, and no map pin for a branch. Your assigned sitter comes to your home in Seventeen Lakes, Chadwick Farms, Fairway Ranch, The Ranches, Highlands Glen, or downtown Oak Street. Phones are answered 6:00am–11:00pm Central. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs backup.
What if my pet sitter gets sick or has an emergency?
We follow our published Pet Sitting Emergency Protocol. You’ll be contacted before any changes are made, and a backup sitter from our local team will step in — never a random replacement. Nearby Trophy Club, Keller, Southlake, Justin, Northlake, and Argyle sitters provide additional backup. With 250+ employees across DFW, your pets’ care is never interrupted.
How is DFW Pet Sitting different from Rover or Wag?
We are a licensed business with W-2 employees, not a marketplace of independent contractors. We carry our own commercial insurance, monitor every visit, and have an on-call manager available 24/7. Apps connect you with strangers — we introduce you to a vetted, local professional.
Do you administer medication?
Yes. Many of our Roanoke clients have pets that require daily medication, insulin injections, or supplements. Your sitter will be trained on your pet’s specific needs during the meet-and-greet.
I have a larger lot with multiple pets — is that a problem?
Not at all. Many of our Roanoke clients — especially in The Ranches and the areas near Justin — have dogs, cats, chickens, and other animals on larger properties. We customize every care plan and don’t charge surprise fees for multi-pet households. Extra pet is $3.
What areas near Roanoke do you also serve?
Our Roanoke-area team covers Trophy Club, Keller, Southlake, Westlake, Justin, Northlake, and Argyle. We also serve the full DFW metroplex through our other branches. Those towns have their own pages — we do not dump their neighborhood lists here.
