Pet care experience
Kennel free- Attended 24 hours/7
Message me for a free meet and greet and space is limited. The process can take up to 2-4 weeks to get set up for boarding and regular day care. Dogs love to come and stay. The proof is in the wag. I require a meet and greet, which helps with anxiety. I offer care for dogs that live in Anacortes and the Greater Skagit County area that are 2 years and up only. I am dog-intuitive. I see beyond what most people see as cute and note actual dog behaviors that are sometimes precursors to unwanted interactions. The dogs know I am the pack leader. I peacefully direct the pack in activities. I respect that dogs are instinctual and need balance. I will not put an unbalanced dog into the pack. I am calm and assertive, and lead your dog to be part of our pack. Two or more dogs are a pack. Beyond that, I am an old-fashioned lover of dogs, I cherish their companionship and know how special they are to their people. Sitting with dogs allows me to have all the dog love I can enjoy. I hope we get to meet soon and see if your dog is ideal for our little pack, whether daycare while you are at an appointment or overnight while you go out of town. It is my goal to return your dog to you balanced and relaxed, allowing you to be guilt-free knowing your dog was loved and well taken care of while you are away.

Ratings and reviews
Roxanne B is fabulous with all the dogs in her care. Our Sara is shy with dogs she doesn't know. Roxanne allowed her the time to say hello to each of the dogs & Sara had a wonderful day. She came home happy & tired.
We give Roxy 5 stars for her dog daycare. Our Basset Hound Stella needed somewhere to go while we had an appointment that was going to take us away from home for most of the day. We reached out to Roxy and set up a meet and greet. Stella was introduced to one of her current dogs in her care. All went well and then Stella met the other dogs spending the day with her. Roxy has a wonderful way about her with dogs. She is wonderful at ensuring that a new potential client is compatible with her existing clients before she will bring you into her care. The process was extremely professional and detailed. We were fortunate that Stella integrated well into her care. Roxy provided photo updates on how Stella was doing and we couldn't be more thrilled to now have a place for Stella to go when we need to be gone for the day. If you are looking for a doggy day care I would highly recommend you reach out to Roxy.
Excellent experience. She took great care of my senior Labradoodle, who seemed very comfortable to be there. She goes to great effort to make sure each dog she cares for has a good experience
Oh my gosh, Roxy is absolutely great. Being a first time boarder I felt confident that my fur baby was going to be very well taken care of. It was such a relief. I will definitely be booking again and can't recommend her enough.
Roxanne was very communicative and accommodating. She takes great care to ensure all the dogs she watches get along prior to agreeing which shows her amazing attention to each dog’a needs!
Roxanne took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town for a weekend. Ruby felt right at home. We were grateful knowing she was in good hands. Thanks so much!!

Schedule
I watch dogs full-time. It’s my job. Not my side job. I do ask pet parents to be mindful of my hours for pick-up and drop-off. I am available 6:30 am - 6 pm weekdays and 10 am - 4 pm on weekends. Boarding is 7 days a week. Daycare on weekdays only. This gives us time for ourselves on the weekend without pick-ups or drop-offs. At this time, I do not offer drop-in daycare. All care must be scheduled, as there are limited spaces.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are treated as if they were our own. Inside, there are dog beds with clean covers and plenty of space to either join the pack or have privacy. A secure, fenced yard with double-door entry at both front and back, so everyone is secure when coming and going. Meals are served separately as we recognize every dog eats differently.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs are not left unattended. Dogs are not kenneled. I use an open-range pack method. Early arrivals are given potty time in the early morning hours. Meals are served to all dogs that arrive with meals. After 8:00 am, we go outside to sniff, wander, and play in the yard. I am with them the entire time. We come in for a mid-morning group treat of a single ingredient, such as freeze-dried liver. Dogs generally settle in for a short nap while I attend to dog-related duties, such as answering calls and emails. They are usually lying under my desk and around my chair. We head back outside for some outdoor fun. By 3-4 pm, most dogs are finished for the day and start watching for their humans. Dinner for boarding dogs is at 4-4:30 pm. This way they have time to digest before bedtime. Everyone sleeps where they are comfortable. Our room has enough sleeping space and beds for everyone to enjoy pack sleeping. We get up early and we go to bed early. I am always nearby in case someone needs to go outside. They have a full run of the house. Dogs are fed the meals you provide. I have the bowls for water and food. The dogs are never alone. Your dog will get a balance of stimulation.
