Rachel has been with Pet Pals since April of 2023, and she loves visiting all the animals, especially cats!  She is a recent graduate from Virginia Tech with a bachelor’s in animal science, where she studied dogs, cats, and horses.  When she isn’t playing with pets, she’s teaching preschool, reading, or snuggling with her own cats, Oscar and Midnight.

Hi!  My name is Brittany. I’ve been an animal lover all of my life and knew that any career I wanted would involve animals. I have been working in veterinary medicine for over a decade now, but my true passion lies in pet sitting, rescue work and rehabilitation. I love being immersed in nature, hiking, paddle boarding, working out and I really enjoy listening to live music. My favorite way to spend my time is exploring with my husband and our dogs. I appreciate your trust with your furry family member and look forward to meeting you and your pets.

Hi, I am Sarah!  I have been with Pet Pals for 11 years!  I am the proud pet Mom to 2 dogs and 5 cats!  I love spending time outdoors with my dogs.  We like to hike, swim and go out for pup cups.  I also love spending time inside with my dogs and cats watching tv and looking out at our bird, squirrel and chipmunk feeders.  I love being a pet sitter because I get to meet so many different pets and I enjoy the opportunity to allow others to enjoy time away from home with the knowledge that their pet is being well cared for.

Hi, I’m Amy!  I have lived in Roanoke for 42 years.  I am married and have one daughter. We currently have 2 dogs, 1 cat and some chickens.  In my spare time I  like gardening and just being outside.  I have worked for Pet Pals for almost 3 years and really enjoy getting to meet all the animals!

Hi!  I’m Mackenzie and I joined the Pet Pals team in August of 2024.  I’m super excited to be a part of this team.  Caring for animals is something I have always loved.  Growing up I’ve been around all types of animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, and more!  I have lived in Roanoke my whole life and I just love the community here.  I am excited to continue providing pet-care to our area.

Hi, I’m Erin! I joined the Pet Pals team in June 2024. I consider myself very lucky – I get to work with animals in most aspects of my life! In addition to Pet Pals, I work at a local animal shelter (started in 2021) and foster kittens in my free time (over 50 foster pets since 2018). I specialize in fostering animals with specific needs – whether those needs are daily medications, incontinence, recovering from illness or surgery, or simply a very shy temperament.

I live in Roanoke with my spouse, our two pets: a dog named Tito and a cat named Thomas, and a parade of fostered friends. In my free time, I love hiking, reading, and embroidery. I look forward to meeting your pets!

Hi!  I’m Barb, I have been with Pet Pals since 2015!  My husband and I came to live in Roanoke for our retirement where we love our 2 rescue dogs, Greta the German Wirehair Pointer and Wyatt the German Shorthair Pointer.  When I am not snuggling my dogs, I enjoy making stained glass, walking with friends and visiting local breweries.
