Pet care experience

Dogs love me. I love all dogs!

I would treat your dog or cat like my own. I love animals, especially dogs and cats. In fact, it breaks my heart when I see that a dog or cat has been abused or abandoned. I am very responsible and observant. I have had experience with having my own dogs and cats all of my life. I have been doing Rover for seven years now. The dogs been small and big, pure bred and mixed. I have also watched cats. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Topeka while I was in high school. My job was to walk the dogs, play with them and clean their kennels. I have taken care of my neighbors' and friend’s pets. I also worked part time with senior adults and took care of their dogs. I would feed their dogs and take them for walks. In addition, I would play with their dogs, take them to be groomed and administer medicine to them. I also noticed when one dog was not healthy and reported it. I am retired from my full time job so I am available to stay nights with your dog or cat. Walking your dog would be great exercise for me and your dog. We could also go in my car to a dog park. Some of my friends call me the "dog whisperer" because dogs can sense that I am very comfortable around them. I am patient and kind. You can trust me to care for your dog and it will be a great experience!

Roxanne was amazing! I felt very comfortable with her in our home and both of my dogs were very happy and cared for. She's very responsive and communicative by sending daily pictures of our dogs.

I can’t thank Roxanne enough for taking care of my fur-babies while I was out of the country! I have one grumpy cat and anxious dog and he made easy friends with them so easily. She handled my anxious baby amazingly and even went to the vet to get more medicine when there were more storms than I was prepared for with her medicine. The daily photos and updates were so reassuring. I had no worries while on vacation, and I couldn’t ask for more! I will certainly be looking for her again on any following trips.

Roxanne was wonderful with our little Oliver! I received several updates per day along with photos. Our home was as clean (or cleaner!) than when we left. I will absolutely contact Roxanne the next time we travel. I highly recommend her!

Roxanne took excellent care of our 2 dogs when we went on vacation for a week. We loved the daily updates and pictures she sent us as well.

Roxanne was great! We were on a vacation with very little internet access and she held down the fort wonderfully.
