Adoring animal-lover

Pet care experience

I’m a 31 year old Londoner and I’m utterly besotted with animals. Spending time with them brings me real joy and I love getting to know their unique personalties and individual quirks. My passion and experience has developed really organically and over the years I have become a trusted pet-sitter all over London and beyond, looking after many cats and dogs (plus tortoises and hamsters!) ranging in age from 5 weeks to 15 years. I also volunteer at Friend Farm Animal Sanctuary in Kent which is incredibly rewarding and has given me the opportunity to look after cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats and more. I’m proud to say that animals tend to warm to me quickly, and I treat all those in my care with the love that I would give my own. My way with animals has previously been described as ‘Roxie-style attention’ which entails a great deal of fawning, praising, playing, cuddling and affection. I‘m happy to either pop in to check on your pets during the day, or to do overnight stays. I have experience administering medication, whether it’s regular flea and worm treatment or prescribed medicines. I will always ensure your furry friend has access to fresh water, the specific amount of food for their particular diet, and a clean litter tray. I’m a treat-giver (when it’s allowed!) and will engage with their favourite toys even if it’s just a simple piece of string or rope toy. I’m self-employed as a Personal Assistant and working part-time, which allows me freedom to schedule in animal care as and when clients require my assistance. My home has a fully enclosed back garden to ensure your dog can run around safely and explore all the sights, smells and sounds of a new outdoor space. If there are areas in your home where pets are not allowed this will be fully respected and maintained in your absence. You can feel assured that any animals in my care will have their safety, health and happiness prioritised as utmost importance!

Roxie recently looked after our whippet cross Skye when we left her with a stranger for the first time! Skye instantly was happy and relaxed around Roxie. Throughout the evening Roxie sent us photos and updates of our very happy looking dog. We will definitely be using Roxie again

Roxie was fantastic with my cat, Matilda, on a recent stay. It was the first time since pre-Covid times so I had been a little nervous and had also recently moved house. But Roxie put me completely at ease with her professionalism and communication. She is obviously very experienced and Matilda was cuddling on her lap within hours!

Roxie is awesome! Our pup immediately felt comfortable around her. She is friendly, understanding, accommodating and really good with animals. We were nervous to leave our baby for the first time but she did everything she could to make him happy and distract him. We can’t wait to have her back!

Information Roxie P. would like to know about your pet

I’d always love to know about an animal’s likes and dislikes so that I know how to keep them happy during their time with me. I love all breeds, though Staffordshire Bull Terriers do have a special place in my heart as I have previously adopted 2 from Battersea as my own dogs.

A typical day

There are a few great parks near me, one of which has an enclosed dog area full of lovely neighbourhood pups. I love going out for morning walks and making sure dogs have a great long run around and play. If your dog is comfortable in cars and/or trains I’ll gladly bop around town with them to exciting places
