Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Roxy. I am a journalist, home full-time, with a very flexible schedule. I have a passion for taking care of pets! And tons of repeat clients. :) I have had 5 doses of the COVID vaccine. Growing up, I had in-home, daily experience with five different dogs: 1. an energetic yellow lab; 2. a nervous Maltese; 3. a slow, sweet bichon frise; 4. a high-strung Australian shepherd; and 5. a cuddly chiweenie.... many different sizes and personalities! I currently own 2 dogs: 1. Max, a 10-pound long haired chihuahua mix. He was a former Rover client whose owner had to re-home him. He has experience with every kind of dog and is the kindest dog I’ve ever met. He is a pack dog for sure and loves to share our home. 2. Bernie - another chihuahua mix from AAC. He is more of your classic chihuahua personality … a little barky at first but he loves to play, then very quickly needs a nap. :) He sleeps in his crate. A very sweet happy boy. I also have a flame point Himalayan cat named Princeton, aka Prince. He is a sweet cat who is very used to company and mostly keeps to himself. I love to take long walks, or just snuggle with your pet, or somewhere in between—depending on what he or she needs. I’m also experienced in administering a variety of medicine, both pills and shots. *First time Rover users* - use promo code ROXYSZAL 5 28 1991 20 (no spaces) to save $20 on your first booking! I will follow all directions that you leave and also use my dog intuition. People tell me I am a dog whisperer :) I am extremely cognizant of allergies and health issues. I am plugged into your dog’s needs.
Reviews
Roxanne was great and she provided so many updates throughout the day. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Incredible sitter, super flexible and communicative and my puppy loves visiting her! will definitely continue to come to roxanne :)
Roxy was great! She was very accommodating to meet before I left town and make me feel at ease with who was taking care of my baby. She sent regular updates and pictures and was very compassionate when my dog was stressed when I was gone. She went above and beyond to hang around when my dog needed some extra love. I will definitely keep her number for future use!
Roxanne was an amazing sitter for my 3 yr old Frenchie!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two-story condo and have a small fenced in yard. I have a screen door so your pet will have constant access to the yard while I am home. The yard is brick pavers with packed dirt and rocks w/ some grass. The fence is very secure and your pet will be unable to escape, but of course I will keep a diligent eye!
Home
Information Roxanne S. would like to know about your pet
How is their health? Any allergies? What’s their energy level like? Where do they sleep? Favorite toy? How do they do with other pets? How is their eating routine?
A typical day
I tailor my days based on my clients. I had a client who needed to run four miles a day, which was no problem. I also have had clients who are elderly and need help walking to their food, which is also not a problem. It all depends on the personality, needs and wants of your individual pet.
