Happy Pets, Happy You!

Hi, I’m Roxie! I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life from cats and dogs to birds, fish, and even rodents. I absolutely love animals and have extensive experience with grooming, walking, feeding, and giving them plenty of love and attention. As a former volunteer at the SPCA and caretaker at Tri County Humane Society, I’ve worked with all kinds of furry (and feathered) friends, so your pet will be in great hands. With a flexible schedule as a work from home mom, I can easily accommodate your needs and make sure your pets receive the best care possible. My two little helpers, ages 11 and 12, will also assist me and might join us on walks, adding extra fun to the experience. To ensure the smooth operation of my business and to respect the schedules of all my clients, I have an updated policy in place: • I will now be enforcing a late fee for pickups beyond the 10-minute grace period. If your pickup exceeds this time, a daycare fee will be applied. • If your pet is not picked up by 2:00 PM, the full boarding fee will be charged. Timely pickups allow me to provide the best care for every pet and keep my schedule running smoothly. • For the safety and well-being of all pets, owners will not be allowed inside the home during drop-off or pick-up. This helps maintain a calm environment, reduces stress for the pets, prevents the potential risk of pets running away and allows me to focus fully on their care. • Please bring all necessary items your pet will need, including food, medications, toys, and bedding. Any special instructions for food or medications should be discussed via Rover Chat and added to your pet’s profile prior to drop-off. • Pets, bedding, and blankets should be clean. This helps maintain a clean environment for all pets in my care. If your pet arrives with an unpleasant odor or in need of a bath, a bathing fee will be applied. Keeping pets clean ensures that everyone can enjoy a safe, healthy, and playful environment.

We had a wonderful experience with Roxie! She was thorough, attentive and professional. Our dog Penny had a wonderful stay and we will be using her for sitting again. I highly recommend Roxie C. for boarding.

Roxie took excellent care of my two dashchunds. I have an 8 year old and 3 month old. My 8 year old pup requires medication and Roxie had no problems administering her meds. My dogs felt right at home and she provided pictures and updates throughout our time away. Thank you, Roxie!!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I ensure that your pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a safe space, free of hazards, and providing plenty of fresh water and appropriate toys. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, I stick to your established routines and guidelines, ensuring they receive the same love and attention they’re used to. For in-home care, I provide a cozy and engaging atmosphere, keeping them active with playtime and walks while ensuring they feel loved and secure. You can trust that your furry family members are in great hands, and I can’t wait to provide them with the best care possible!

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with fun and engaging activities! In the morning, we start with a refreshing walk to stretch their legs and explore the neighborhood. Afterward, we’ll have some playtime with their favorite toys, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or just some good old-fashioned snuggling. Throughout the day, I make sure to incorporate mental stimulation, like puzzle toys or training exercises, to keep their minds sharp. If they enjoy it, we might have some outdoor adventures at a nearby park, where they can socialize with other pets and enjoy the fresh air. In the afternoon, it’s time for a cozy break—snuggles on the couch, some quiet time, or a nap in their favorite sunny spot. I always ensure they have plenty of fresh water and tasty treats throughout the day. Every pet is unique, so I tailor the activities to their preferences, making sure they have a fun and fulfilling experience while in my care!

Roxie can host up to 5 pets per night
To get started, I would love to ask a few questions: I have two little helpers at home (ages 11 and 9)! Is your pet comfortable around kids? What is your pet's daily routine, including feeding times and any specific activities they enjoy? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or allergies I should be aware of? How does your pet typically behave around other animals and new people? Are there any specific commands or cues your pet responds to that I should use? Does your pet have any favorite toys, games, or activities that help them feel comfortable and engaged? Are there any health concerns or special needs I should consider while caring for your pet? These insights will help me create a positive and enjoyable experience for your furry friend!
