Colleen Hart

Owner/Operator

I am a Roanoke native who originally went to college to be an elementary school teacher.  I have two kids, a love for animals, and I am a natural caregiver. I also love music, outdoors, movies, naps, family and food. I don't have a favorite animal and love learning about all types. While most of my experience is with dogs and cats, I've cared for snakes,  pigs, birds, rabbits, rats, chickens,  fish,  a monkey and more! 

I am the primary pet sitter at I Hart Your Pets & Home! I'm a super silly people pleaser and a natural caregiver and I decided to make a career out of it. Whether that be walking your dog twice a week or helping with some custom needs in your home,  I'm here to make your life easier.  I'm here to be you, when you need a hand. 

Besides running a pet sitting business and spending time with my family, I also bartend part-time at The Grandin Theatre.  It's a gem in every way in this town. 

Fletcher Hart

Owner/Operator

Tied with one other for the coolest kid I know. Loves animals, playing outside, video games,  legos, crafts.  and making ginormous messes.

Fletcher is currently homeschooling, unlike his older sibling. He does attend Valley Forest school and is a part of siblings local groups. He is a huge animal fan and has been fantastic with every animal he's ever met. I won't ask to bring him on pet/house sitting jobs,  but feel free to offer if you want your dogs to get some extra energy out!

Lynsey O'Dell is James Madison Middle School 2024-2025 teacher of the year! She is kind, selfless, and has been caring for pets for longer than I have. She's been a foster parent off and on for years. Lynsey is also a mom to two awesome kids. I have known Lynsey for over 20 years and consider her family.
