Reliable Sitter in Roscoe Village

Pet care experience

[Update: I’m currently taking new clients within Roscoe Village and North Center only!] Hi, I’m Roxy! I offer attentive, reliable care for cats & dogs of all ages and personalities, from high-energy puppies to seniors needing extra support. I tailor visits based on each pet’s temperament, whether that means playtime or just peaceful company. I take safety seriously and treat every visit like a professional commitment. Whether it’s a short walk or a longer stay, I make sure your pets are mentally and physically stimulated, and your home is respected. I’m happy to include extras like plant care or mail pickup for longer trips. My service area is intentionally small (Roscoe Village and nearby North Center) so I can focus on quality and reliability. Happy to pop by for a meet & greet!

Roxy was on time, communicated throughout, loving to my pet and my foster. Will definitely be using her as my go to dog sitter/walker.

Roxanne was great and patient with our kitties! They can be a little shy but she made sure they were taken care of and we had great updates! Glad we found her in the Roscoe area!

Henri had another great stay with Roxy. Daily updates and pictures kept us aware of his stay and the fun he was having.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
