Pet care experience

Family of animal lovers!

Hi there! I’ve owned dogs and/or cats most of my life and my kids and I adore animals. We have 3 cats and a very sweet Australian Retriever. We’ve been doing Rover for about three or four years now, and recently moved from Knoxville, Tennessee, though I am a Traverse city native. We treat our pets like one of the family, and we will treat yours the same way! Generally, we prefer to board just one dog at a time, but may occasionally have an overlap of another dog in care, if I feel they will be a good fit. We will care for one or two cats from the same family and can keep them separated from our cats if necessary. Currently, I’m available for care in your home as well and dog walking, etc.. Please, no dogs that are aggressive towards cats and new clients booking more than two overnights must book a daycare visit prior, to ensure everyone will be happy 😁. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Roxanne and family were great with our Jackson. He loves his time there and his new playmate, Bella! Elizabeth

Murphy loves his home away from home. He enjoys the runs on the beach and the love he gets from all members of the family. He is smiling in all of the pictures Roxanne sends during his time there. She is absolutely the best!!!

Murphy loved his time here. He felt right at home and Roxanne was very flexible when our flights were delayed. Couldn’t be happier!

There is almost always someone at home between myself, my husband and my two adult children. Your baby would get lots of attention and love with us.

Pets

A typical day

Our dog Bella is very sweet and would love a friend to play with. She has the best time and is very good with other dogs. We love to play ball, chase or tug of war. We often visit a nearby dog park or walk around our neighborhood.

0 to 15 lbs

Roxanne can host up to 1 pet per night
I would love to know the words/commands your dog is familiar with so we can communicate best, as well as anything that may make them more comfortable with us during their stay.
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.
