Foster Dog Mama That Dog Sits!
Hi! I've been fostering dogs from a local shelter for a little over 2 years. In that time, I've helped about 20 dogs find their forever families. There's been dogs in our home ranging in age from 9 months to 9 years, all with a different story. Abused, neglected, owner surrender, stray, court case holds, seniors, puppies, overweight, super skinny and anything else you can think of! I treated them all with empathy and showered them affection to earn their trust and love. Many of my former fosters come for visits while their owners are on vacation. Any pup that comes through my doors will be cared for and treated with respect, just like my fosters!

Ratings and reviews
Roxann was great with my last-minute request & Pepper was very happy when I came to pick her up. We'd definitely choose Roxann again.

Roxann and her family were so kind and loving to our dogs. They had a blast at their house! We were updated with lots of photos and videos daily. They played with lots of toys, went for walks, and had snuggle time. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were away. Thank you so much!!


I met Roxann when my husband & I adopted a dog that Roxann & her family was fostering. It was clear from the first time we met that Roxann has such a love for animals. Her calm and gentle demeanor puts all the dogs she fosters at ease & they are showered with love in her care. When we go on vacation our Nelly goes and stays with Roxann & family…we are so appreciative & we know Nelly is safe and happy while we’re away. It’s a true calling for Roxann to take care of these pups while they’re waiting for their forever family. Any family would be lucky to have her take care of their pets!! You can trust her to give them all the love & care they deserve!
Hi! Until I met Roxann, I didn’t know many people that would welcome foster dogs into their home and love them as if they were their own. Through the years I’ve seen firsthand how committed she is to her family while also helping dogs get adopted. I don’t trust just anyone, but Roxanne is absolutely someone that I would trust with my own dogs!
I have known Roxann for quite some time, and while she hasn't personally cared for my dog yet, I would trust her without hesitation. She has extensive experience working with dogs through her fostering with a local animal shelter, where she has cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. She is patient, responsible, compassionate, and genuinely understands dog behavior. I've seen firsthand the dedication and care she gives to every dog she helps, whether they need structure, reassurance, or just lots of love and attention. When a dog needs her, Roxann shows up! Any pet owner looking for someone dependable can feel confident leaving their pet in her care. I would absolutely entrust my own dog to her and recommend her without reservation.
Roxann is a long-time, valued foster/ animal caregiver for Associated Humane Society. She takes time out of her demanding day to day life to come and pick up, care for, enrich and help train and decompress our shelter dogs. No time limit is too long for Roxann or her family and she always is sure to showcase the dog thriving in her care in a way that helps them find their forever homes. I have watched shut-down shelter dogs crash on her couch, take shopping sprees, be pampered at grooming appointments, and get all the treats and cuddles a dog could love. Her patient and calm demeanor helps any animal feel at ease. Any animal owner would benefit from Roxann being involved in their pet's life.

Schedule
I work at a school, so I'm currently on summer break. When school is in session, I work Monday to Friday 9-1, and I'm off evenings, weekends and holidays. I also work in the town in which I reside, so my commute is less than 5 minutes, meaning I'm close by!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in yard, crates and dog beds in various sizes, bowls, blankets and mounds of toys. I'm also comfortable administering medication if needed.
A typical day
I like to take walks in the neighborhood, where there's lakes and parks to explore. My front porch is always a popular hang out spot for my furry friends as well. I also have plenty of toys!
