Pet care experience
I love dogs and welcome them into my home as a member of my family. They have complete run of the house and secure, fenced backyard. I enjoy going for walks and playing ball. I provide 24/7 care and my guests can choose to sleep in the comfortable provided dog bed or join me in my bed. I have 20+ years working with dogs and have trained for two years with a nationally known trainer specializing in obedience, agility and protection. I can administer oral and injectable medications, perform canine CPR and have experience with special needs dogs. I would welcome the opportunity to provide your best friend with a fun and secure vacation while offering you the peace of mind knowing that your dog will be loved and cared for while you are away. About this sitter: I am a true dog lover with extensive experience caring for all breeds of dogs. As I work at home I am able to provide 24/7 care for my doggy guests in my private home which offers at will access to a large fully secure backyard. Why I love dog sitting I have always been really into dogs and got my first puppy, Poochie, when I was one. I have always had a dog until last year when I lost my beloved German Shepherd Dog. I do not yet feel ready to get another dog of my own but am really enjoying spending time with all of my dog guests. This provides me with the opportunity to have all kinds of dogs! I could never own all of the dogs I want because I want them all. (So many cuties, so little time.) Meet my pets I currently have no other dogs or cats living with me but do have two birds which are kept in a separate area. I have a large, fully fenced, secure backyard with trees, grass and lots of toys. About my yard I have a large, fully fenced backyard with a gate that locks with a key. I also employ a baby gate system so access to external doors is not a factor. When someone comes to the door I put up the gate to prevent any possible dog exit. My experience administering medication Yes I can administer oral and injectable medications. Please be advised that I am not currently excepting any dogs over 50 pounds that have not stayed with me previously. Thank you for your understanding. I look forward to spending time with you and your pup.
Reviews
We will definitely be using Roxanne again. Our dog is very shy and cautious around other people and dogs, especially since he lost his housemate 6 months ago. We did a meet and greet and he did well. He stayed with Roxanne for 2 nights and did great. We were wondering if he would have some separation anxiety when he got back, but he was fine. He even got excited about his blanket that we left with him there and was tugging it around and wagging his tail. Probably because it still smelled like her dog Blueberry and he really had fun playing with him. Roxanne kept us informed on how he was doing so that we didn’t have to worry and could enjoy our getaway. Very pleased!
Roxanne is kind and gentle with my dog. Always takes very good care of her. Best dog sitter I’ve used
So glad I found Roxanne. She took care of my Jessie for almost a week. Great care!
Our Chikki was so happy for two weeks. She got ample exercise and got along very well with her dogs. Roxanne is very friendly and was going. I recommend her to any dog owner. I also loved the daily pictures!

Information Roxanne M. would like to know about your pet
I often arrange a meeting prior to the actual stay. This lets both the dog, owner and myself meet and get comfortable with everything. This is not mandatory but certainly available to anyone desire.

My husband and I are both retired so spending time with our dog guests is pretty much the highlight of our day. It is very seldom that we leave the pets alone even for an hour. Someone is almost always with them.
