Pet care experience

** Pricing on Rover is not comprehensive for every situation. Please verify pricing before booking. ** There has never been a time in my life without animals. I was raised around pet dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, birds, fish, horses, and even flying squirrels. I've learned the quirks of different breeds and species and I've become familiarized with a range of animal care knowledge. In my adult life I've had 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rats, a bearded dragon, and that's not including our ever growing list of fosters that pass through our home. I am well versed in senior animal care, as well as young/baby animal care. We lost our beloved senior boy, Darwin, to cancer in 2022 and we learned a lot from him in the few years we got to spend with him after finding him eating out of our alleyway trash. We learned how to use doggy diapers, assist with walking, gentle grooming, etc. I am also experienced with reactive and special needs dogs. My spouse and I foster animals through KC Pet Project, so I have regular animal handling and care training through the volunteer program as well.

I travel a lot for work and sometimes bring my 2 dogs with me. Roxanne was able to accommodate our needs perfectly by picking them up from the hotel while I was out and taking them on a nice midday hike in a nearby park. I can immediately tell by the photos that my kiddos were perfectly comfortable with her (even my nervous one!) and having a great time. Hope she’s available next time I’m in KC!

Roxanne is the most amazing human and Rover! She always goes above and beyond every time she watches our dogs. We always stress out when leaving our fur babies but since having Roxanne watch them, we have no more worries! We ended up having our baby early on vacation, she went out of her way to get the dogs bandannas, so they would look cute when meeting their new baby brother. Again she goes above and beyond. I can not rave about her enough! Recommend her 100%!!

Roxanne was so great with both of my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates 😊

Roxanne went above and beyond watching my (super clingy) cat. That and the frequent updates/photos gave me peace of mind while I was away. I got home and could tell he’d gotten lots of love. :)

Information Roxanne W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any behavioral issues such as fears, bad habits, anxiety, etc before booking.

A typical day

I like to create a balance of physical and mental stimulation for your fur babies! Puzzles and games are a great way to get their brain working and help to use up lots of energy! Physical exercises like walks, fetch, agility training, and tug are perfect for moving those muscles and keeping your pets in tip top shape! Combining physical and mental activities make for a happy and tired pet, and a happy tired pet is a well behaved pet.

I am a Cosmetic Tattoo apprentice that works by appointment only. This makes me available most hours of the day! My favorite activity is to take a hike with my dogs on one of the many trails in our area! Ask about my 60 minute walks for a REALLY good workout for your furry best friend!
