Roxy can care for
Availability
Rover is my main focus, so I’m available for pet care most of the time. The only exception is when I need a bit of flexibility to check in on my own dog while my husband is away at work. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your needs!

About Roxy D.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe in moving at each pet's pace to earn their trust, never pushing them to do anything that makes them uncomfortable. With a skittish, anxious dog of my own, I understand the importance of patience and gentleness. I once spent over an hour reassuring a nervous pup during a meet-and-greet before we became the best of friends! For walks, I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. On hot days, I keep walks on grass or in shaded areas as much as possible. I also ask that walks be scheduled in the mornings (before 10 am) or kept short during the hot summer hours for your pup's safety. If the weather is too hot, I’ll keep the pups engaged with indoor playtime to tire them out safely.
Information Roxy D. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know if your pet has any special needs, food restrictions, or any behavior that I should be aware of before caring for them. I'd also like to know if your pet is up to date on their shots.
A typical day
I love taking a fun, energizing walk where we can get plenty of exercise. I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, so I’ll never push them beyond their capabilities. We’ll move at their pace and make sure they’re enjoying the walk. If there's a park nearby, we’ll definitely stop by to explore, smell the flowers, and watch all the fun activities happening if that's what your pet says they want to do. In addition to walks, I make sure to include plenty of playtime sessions to keep your pet engaged and entertained. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or just some good ol' fashioned cuddles, I’ll ensure they get the mental and physical stimulation they need. It’s all about keeping your pet happy and safe throughout the day!

Pet care experience
Use my code on your first booking for $20 off: ROXYD86347 Hi! I’m a Navy veteran and have been living in Austin with my husband since 2020. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and honestly can’t imagine life without them! I’ve cared for larger breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Labs throughout my life, and I also have experience with small and medium-sized dogs through volunteer work with PAW Rescue in Maryland. Currently, we have a 7-year-old lab-pit mix who I’ve raised since she was a puppy. We also previously cared for our sweet senior girl (14 y/o) who recently passed after a long battle with cancer. During that time, I became experienced in post-surgical wound care and comfortable administering chemo medication and daily meds. Though I’ve never had cats of my own, I absolutely love caring for them. I’ve looked after cats while their owners were away, and I’ve also participated in Austin Humane Society’s TNR program — trapping my local community cats and helping with recovery care post-surgery. Before caring for your pet, I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure safety and that we’re all a good fit. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and your pets feel safe and loved. I’ll care for them like they’re my own.

Reviews
I can’t recommend Roxy enough! She has truly been a lifesaver whenever I end up working late and need someone I can trust to care for my pets. Knowing that my puppy, Iris, is in such loving hands gives me complete peace of mind. Roxy is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and always goes above and beyond. One of my favorite things is how excited she gets every time she sees Iris—it’s obvious she genuinely loves the animals she cares for, and they absolutely adore her in return. Iris is always so excited to greet her, and my cat loves her too, which speaks volumes. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, and treats your pets like they’re her own, Roxy is the one. I’m so grateful to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Roxy has been absolutely wonderful with our 16-pound dog Iris! On a hot day, she carried her across the hot pavement to protect her paws, and we really appreciated that extra level of care and thoughtfulness. It’s clear that Roxy genuinely loves the dogs she works with and consistently goes above and beyond to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. We always have complete peace of mind knowing our pup is in such kind, capable hands. We highly recommend Roxy to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker!
We absolutely love having Roxy walk our puppy! Our puppy adores her, and even our cat is a fan. She always sends the best photos and provides great updates, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She’s fantastic at making sure our puppy gets plenty of exercise and comes home happy and tired. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she works with. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker! 🐾💕
Roxy is the best pet sitter EVER. She is phenomenal. I trust her completely and my fur babies love her ❤️
