Cert-Dog Trainer HUGE Secure Yard
Full-Time, Premium Professional Care for you precious Family Member! This is my full-time profession, not a side gig. I operate a licensed and fully insured home dog care business built on an unblemished record: in all my years of operation, I have had zero safety incidents. Safety and immaculate care are my absolute priorities. To maintain this standard, a brief meet-and-greet is mandatory for all new clients. I want you to see firsthand the clean, exceptional, and secure environment your dog will enjoy. Our Clean, Safe, & Premium Environment Secure Grounds: A huge, clean, and highly secure yard for well-vetted, friendly dogs. Climate & Air Quality: Equipped with central air conditioning and three high-efficiency air purifiers. Immaculate Standards: Professional house cleaning and weekly gardening services ensure a pristine environment for both the dogs and myself. Health Requirements: All guests must be fully up-to-date on all vaccinations. Expertise & Specialized Background Animal care runs deeply in my family line. My grandmother was the owner and trainer of the chimpanzees in the 1950s Tarzan films, and my aunt and uncle were renowned MGM Studio trainers for both wild and domesticated animals in the '50s and '60s. Carrying on that legacy, I have spent a lifetime working with animals, including: Rescue Experience: 10 years volunteering with New Hope for Animals in Los Angeles. Behavioral Familiarity: Work with Vanderpump Rescue has given me deep experience with unique dog quirks, specific issues, and behavioral needs. Booking Policies & Transparency To keep my business running smoothly and fairly for all pet parents, I enforce the following operational guidelines: What to Pack: Please pack your dog’s standard food (plus a 2-day surplus in case of travel delays) and a food measuring cup in a travel bag. Do not bring bowls—I provide clean, premium glass bowls. If your dog runs out of food and a specialty store run is required to purchase your specific brand, a $25 time-and-travel fee plus the cost of food will apply (unused food is always returned). Vetting: I ask several safety filtering questions upon request. Please answer these promptly so we can adhere to safety guidelines. 24-Hour Hold: If I do not hear back from you within 24 to 36 hours of my response, your request will be archived to free up space for other parents. Breed Restrictions: Due to strict home insurance liability clauses, I cannot host Pit Bulls, Pit Bull mixes, or dogs with any history of aggression. Contagious Illnesses: I strictly do not accept dogs with active contagious diseases. Custom Rates & Holiday Billing Holiday Pricing: Rover automatically applies holiday rates to entire bookings. Because I believe holiday rates should only apply to the actual holiday weekend, I manually adjust your bill to reflect a $10/night holiday increase only for the specific holiday dates. Specialized Care: Advanced senior or medical special-needs care is priced at $150-$200 a night depending on the circumstances. Medication Fees: Simple once-a-day medication administration is free. Complex regimens (2-4 times daily) incur a standard custom charge of $5–$10/day depending on complexity.

Ratings and reviews
Roxanne was easy to coordinate with and very responsive. She took great care of Loki. Highly recommend!

I know with absolute certainty that every time my dog stays with Roxanne, she will be so cared for. Roxanne is extremely responsible, attentive and communicative - a true pup professional!

Prompt responses and caring treatment.

we are so thankful for roxanne! she always keeps us updated with lots of pictures and ponyo loves staying with her!

Roxanne was amazing! She accepted our last-minute holiday booking, which was such a huge help. Bella came home happy, well cared for, and completely tired out from all the fun she had. It was clear Bella received lots of love and attention during her stay. We would absolutely book with Roxanne again whenever we’re in the Los Angeles area. Highly recommend!

Roxanne is the only pet sitter I trust to watch my Pomeranian, Perry. She’s watched him many times over the years and is always great!

Schedule
Mon-Sun: 8AM-9-9:30 PM. No late night drop off or pick ups! This is my full-time professional career, not a temporary gig.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my absolute number one priority. I take this responsibility incredibly seriously because our dogs are our closest companions. Every dog is meticulously vetted and evaluated before joining me and the pack. My facility of a home environment is full licensed, insured, and features an exceptionally secure yard. I actively encourage pet parents to walk the property during our mandatory Meet & Greet for total peace of mind. Inside, I maintain a clean home with central air conditioning and 3 air purifiers in a premium sanctuary designed entirely for their comfort and protection.

A typical day
Everything here is designed around structured, harmonious pack environment. By establishing myself as a strong, reliable pack leader from day one, your dog will enjoy a balanced routine of social fun and relaxation. Dogs enjoy socialization and massive over-the-top secure yard for total safety and control. I DO NOT WALK DOGS ON THE STREET. This keeps them 100% safe on my property and completely eliminates risks from unpredictable neighborhood dogs being walked by clueless walkers.*A structured 2 hour afternoon nap is enforced in comfortable crates with calming meditation music. This keeps the dogs balanced and provides a safe block for occasional necessary errands. Overnight guests sleep safely inside their individual crates. Non-crate trained dogs naturally follow the pack's lead, but older dogs who cannot be crated sleep comfortably on premium dog beds besides the pack. Dogs thrive under this clear structure and love being around a well-vetted pack. They come home thoroughly exercised, happy, and balanced.
