“This is the first time we've had to leave our dog with a sitter when we went out of town. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Roxanne is great! We received many email updates with pictures letting us know how our dog was doing. We had a few cancelled flights on our way home keeping us from getting back in time but Roxanne was very accommodating in extending our dog's stay with her. Definitely recommend her! Will be using her again!”

I take walks dogs on walks at least two times a day and as needed for potty breaks. We have always had a dog in the house until two years ago.

About: I love taking care of animals! I have a cat, 2 Australian Shepherds, and I raise sheep for shows) Please reach out with any needs! I work throughout the week so weekends are best! I can also pop in early mornings or in the evenings anytime after 5 pm ! If you crate your dog, I have no problem with that. I have crate trained both of my dogs! If your pet is dog friendly and up to date on shots, my mini Australian shepherds love a good play date. We love going on long walks or trips to the creek!
About: I've been around animals my entire life. The only thing I don't really want to keep is snakes.i currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat and 3 rabbits. Some of these are rescues. I'm used to pets with anxiety doesn't bother me. I feel animals are better than humans. I work from home and only time I leave is when I have medical appointments. I'm available pretty much all the time maybe to available. We got fenced in yard my house is pretty puppy proof. Actually it's more their house not ours haha. If it's not a fenced area I will not let them out of my sight.
About: For the past 14 years I have worked at a veterinary hospital as a vet tech and a pet groomer. I have experience handling and training all types of pet temperaments. I genuinely care about the well-being of an animal and have always enjoyed my time helping them. I love to find ways to better their health both mentally and fiscally and help them be the happiest confident fur babies they can be. Both socially and in the comfort of their own home. I have groomed pets with over 12 years experience. I love nothing better than making your dog feel amazing. I have a very reliable vehicle and am very trustworthy. I have a long list of references that would gladly reassure you of my love for animals and superior care.
“She was awesome! Made sure he took his Juice Plus each morning. Sent me pictures everyday of my Pom. Which I enjoy tons! Beau seemed to have liked it there. Would def recommend. Beau will be back.”
About: I have owned & cared for working dogs my entire life. Constant enjoyment comes from challenging your dog with short, kind training and immediate reward. I have been retired since 2020 and enjoy outdoor activities. A laid back fun day is scheduled everyday. Your pet will be in constant companionship. Crate training is absolutely fine, otherwise all activity will be hosted on a leash. My home is free of harsh chemicals as well as small children.

Ashley C.
“I’ve been Ashley Clark’s friends for about 4 years now. We have grown in friendship with our love for animals. She has been in the veterinary assistant field for over 10 years now and is currently a qualified and long time pet groomer. She has groomed and or assisted in the care of everything from bunny rabbits, to cats, dogs and exotic animals such as lions and tigers. She has 5 little chihuahuas of her own and two big, goofy, loving German Shepherds. She has a little hobby farm on her 7 acres and has almost every farm animal there is and absolutely loves and adores every one of them. (They all have names). She is one of the most animal loving people I’ve ever known and has been since a young age. I would trust her with any of my 3 puppies and not worry a bit. Besides being with her kiddos, being with and loving on animals is when she is her absolute happiest. God has truly given her a love and joy for his beautiful creatures. I know you wouldn’t be one bit disappointed in choosing her to care for your furry family members and I hope you’ll consider giving her a chance to love on them and care for them.”
