Pet care experience
Please Read Before Sending Inquiries. I currently have a full time day job in Arlington (near North Marysville) I am on the work site 9 hours a day. My current days off are Sundays and Mondays. (That said, if you are north of Mount Vernon, such as Bellingham, it might be too far north for it to work with my job in Arlington.) If this will work for your needs I’d love to meet you and your fur babies. When pet sitting, I plan as little as possible outside my normal day job hours so I can spend evenings and nights with your babies. 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.
Reviews
This is the first time we have had Roxanne sit for our dog Minnie and we will definitely be asking her to sit for us in the future. Roxanne sent us daily updates, pictures and videos of Minnie. Knowing that Minnie was well cared for made it easier leaving her for our vacation. We highly recommend Roxanne as a pet sitter.
She’s just great.
Wow! Roxanne was terrific with my "particular princess" dog. She was on time, great with communication, extremely helpful and flexible (we were packing up things to go set up a party and she helped load, find things, keep the pup out of the way and tolerated all the ins and outs of people during the day). I had updates and pictures, which I love. Roxanne is a keeper! Much gratitude for making our day wonderful.
It is no exaggeration to say Roxanne is a superstar dogsitter. I have 3 skittish Chihuahua mixes and have been struggling to find a sitter. Roxanne won them over on the very first day! She kept me updated with pictures and stories of what was happening. When I got home, she had also treated my home with care and everything was tidy and cared for. I will definitely be using Roxanne again! (When I say Roxanne's name to my dogs, they wag their tails!)
About Roxanne R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure all gates to back yard are securely closed, I am good at getting into the house without letting your dog escape. I take special care to make sure you pet is secure.
Information Roxanne R. would like to know about your pet
Would love to know your pups’ preferences and loves, routines, medical concerns, allergies, comfort level with walks and running into other dogs, or safety concerns you may have.
A typical day
I usually ask about where you walk with them, and favorite toys, and what they love to do. When it’s really hot out I will take them out for quick short potty breaks and some fresh air, and maybe a little play in the shade, but if I see they are getting too hot I’ll bring them in to cool off. I enjoy snuggling with your pet when they’ve had enough playtime.
