Pet care experience

Experienced with special needs dogs

I have a day job as an Office Manager in Arlington Monday Through Friday. If being away days, and staying with your furries evenings and overnight will work for your pets’ needs, I’d love to meet with you. I’ve spent much of my life surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. I have significant experience with special needs and senior dogs—providing the extra care, love, and dignity they deserve. I care for your pup as if s/he’s my own! I care for your house as if it’s my own! I’m extremely responsible, timely, gentle, patient, and clean. I’m active and love daily walks with your canine. Whether it’s special instructions for feeding, meds, walks, or bedtime, I’m ready to follow your (and your dog’s) precise needs. I’ve been petsitting (dogs and cats) for the past 25 years and my clients regularly refer me to their friends. Your fur babies are in trusted hands when they are with me. I look forward to getting to know your little (or not so little) one.

Roxanne was attentive and gentle with our two senior dogs while we were away visiting family. We received regular check-ins and updates throughout her stay, and the dogs both seemed very content! Providing each dog with their medication was no problem either. One of our dogs can be a bit quirky and rude, but Roxanne took it all in stride and got along great with both pups. We would definitely use her services again.

Lydia (dog) and Carson (kitty) were very happy. When we returned they said “What? Your’re back? Where’s Roxanne?”
