Availability
My husband and I are both self employed working predominantly from home. We make our own schedules, so between the two of us there is nearly always someone home. Meet and greets, pickups, and drop offs are super flexible. On the weekends, we are either working on some project around around the house or exploring NOLA. Our favorite spots are dog friendly and we often have a few in tow.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a well fenced yard and a dog door, so your pup will have potty access all the time. If the dog door is scary or there is a mobility issue, we are happy to be the butler and let everyone in and out as needed. We are casual about pups on furniture etc., and will respect your training if you prefer they don’t form that habit. Same goes for sleep routine: they can pile in the bed with us or use their own bed or crate -we’ll accommodate your routine. Feel free to bring whatever they need to be comfortable including giant dog beds. We don’t ever crate animals without being asked and follow your instructions when we do. We have a large crate we can set up if needed.

Information Roxanne M. would like to know about your pet
Our main rule is non-violence. Our son and dog is too important to us to accommodate dogs with any history of aggressive behavior. We know how important your fur baby is and take this very seriously. We also ask that guests are potty trained and free of destructive habits. They need to be trained on a leash (or gentle leader, harness, whatever you use) and be comfortable riding in the car. If you have a puppy who is still learning, we’ll make a plan to support. They must wear a collar at all times and have a tag with contact information. I request permission to bathe them if they roll in something smelly, so they cannot have a history of biting groomers. Guests must be current on all vaccinations and pet owners must provide emergency contact and vet information. Pet owners provide everything their pet needs to be comfortable in our home: Food, toys, a leash, a bed, and any medications or grooming products. Please let us know your pet’s routine. We will do our best to accomodate.
A typical day
We walk everyday in our neighborhood or in City Park. We also like Lakeshore Drive, the Greenway or on the weekends head to Chalmette Battlefield, Bayou Savage, or the secret dog beach. Dogs are always leashed unless we have specific permission from you to be off leash AND we feel confident in their recall.

Pet care experience
Hello! My household- Including myself, husband (Reese), our toddler son and my brother (Isaac) welcomes friendly dogs of all sizes. We all predominately work from home and have an active lifestyle. We have a large, fully-fenced backyard and love to go to City Park. We live with our goofy super-senior Weirmardoodle. I grew up on a farm, so it feels very natural to be around animals. As a city-ish adult, I really enjoy hosting dogs. It keeps me from adopting all the fur babies I definitely would left to my own devices ; ) My pup and I have done almost everything together. In our nearly 14 years together, we’ve enjoyed running, hiking, camping, and road trips -We've even traveled 5,000 through Mexico together. She's been on boats, trains, and airplanes. These days she has slowed down quite a bit, and I’m grateful everyday for her good health. If appropriate for their speed, your pup will get at least one walk, lots of fetch, and play. They will have potty access nearly all the time. If their speed is more hanging out in a bed or lap in the air conditioning, we provide that too. Our dog is a big gentle soul, and great to practice social skills, but please no aggressive animals. We very much believe that calm, happy pups understand boundaries and thrive with consistency. Let us know if there is anything you are working on. Thanks for checking us out! Roxanne, Reese & Laika Why I love dog sitting My earliest memory is sitting in a highchair eating Cheerios, while Smokey the family Australian Shepard, snatched the tiny socks from my feet. This was one of his favorite games. Smokey went on to sire many more spotted, blue-eyed pups, which my mother sold as working dogs. At any time we had 3-10 dogs and puppies herding around anything that moved. The first dog I "raised" was a spunky little Yorky named Gambit, whom passed away after 16 years of a hearty life. I took him everywhere, including several backpacking excursions and a road trip through Mexico. I didn't know heartbreak until the day I buried him in-between the roots of an old tree. After several years of foster-parenting housemate and family dogs, I was ready to adopt. About 10 years ago, I found Laika. She is everything I wanted in a dog. Sporty and playful, but incredibly gentle; she gets along with everyone, human and canine alike. It's hard to believe that someone didn't want her, but I feel blessed by the way things turned out. Meet my pets We have a super sweet older Weimardoodle. About my yard I have a good-sized, fully-fenced, secure back yard.
Reviews
Thank you Roxanne for taking such great care of Milo duing our vacation. Sometimes Milo can be anxious when we pick him up which means he was nervous during the stay, however, he was happy and calm when we got him. So I know he enjoyed being with you and your family. Again, thank you!
Roxanne was great! Very responsive and Ruby had a great time.
Wonderful stay for T, with the loveliest family, I felt completely at ease with him being under their care. Great setup and her pup, is the kindest gentlest pup. I couldn’t have asked for a better situation for T. 💕
I was away for two weeks, which is the longest my dog, Max, and I have ever been apart. Leaving him with Roxanne and her family was the best decision ever. He was definitely well cared for, and the next time I travel, I hope they will take Max again. I highly recommend Roxanne. I know how important it is to be able to trust your dog sitter and I absolutely trust Roxanne and her family.
