Meet Michelle...

Greetings! My name is Michelle and in the picture is my best friend of 15 years who is no longer with me. I live in Roanoke with my partner and new companion, Belle. Belle is a basset/lab mix, very sweet gentle dog.

I have two adult children and two grandchildren who live in Vermont.  I work full time as a school-based therapist. I have a part time business as Life Coach, Yoga & Reiki practitioner. I have always loved animals and believe they deserve the best in life. I am very excited to be able to work with Pet Pals.

Meet Tracey...

Hello! My name is Tracey and I am a Roanoke native who has had a pet family since I was a little girl. I can't imagine a daily life without the unconditional love of a pet. My fabulous K9 Kayla and I have been together since 2004 when I found her at the RVSPCA at six months old. I'm familiar with and have owned cats, dogs, fish, chickens, and horses. I always wanted to add hamsters to the list but my parents never gave in. One day I hope to have enough room for a few more dogs and some pygmy goats.

I'm a barista at a local cafe, graduate of Hollins University, and professional pet lover of Pet Pals. I love to read, travel, relax, spend time with friends and off-road in my 4x4, Kayla as the co-pilot. Of course, in addition to giving all my love to the pets in my life!

Meet Channing...

I have lived in Roanoke my whole life. I graduated from Hidden Valley High school in 2004. I then went to Roanoke College for two years, then transferred to Concord University. I graduated from Concord University in December 2009 with a Bachelors of Science in Health and Physical Education. I have had pets my entire life. I have five cats and two Great Danes.

Meet Lynsey...

Hello! My name is Lynsey. I have lived the Roanoke the majority of my life and love it here. I am married and have a 4 -year-old son, Phoenix. As part of our family we also have Gus, a 3-year-old German/Australian Shepherd mix, and two kitties (sisters) Baloo and Chessie, or as my son would say, Chessie Kitten for short. He named her after a famous train.

I recently graduated from Roanoke College and am currently working on obtaining my Masters in Education to teach special education. I love animals, and I love kids, no naturally I love what I do. I work at two church nurseries along with working for Pet Pals. I have worked for Jessica (with Pet Pals) going on three years now, and I have loved every bit of it. I love meeting and building new relationships with pets all over the city! I thank you for sharing a little bit of your families with me.
