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
Roxy is the best pet sitter EVER. She is phenomenal. I trust her completely and my fur babies love her ❤️
We’ve had such a great experience with Roxy as our dog walker. She is always reliable caring and clearly loves what she does. We especially appreciate the thoughtful updates and the great pictures she sends after each walk. It is so nice to see our pup happy and well taken care of while we are away. Even our cat who usually does not like anyone absolutely adores her which says a lot. Roxy has truly earned our trust and we feel completely at ease knowing our pets are in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely kind with animals.
We absolutely love Roxy! Our puppy adores her, and even our cat can’t get enough of her, lol. She always sends updates and photos, which makes us feel at ease while we’re away. Highly recommend!
Roxy has been a great dog walker for us. She’s always reliable and easy to communicate with, and I feel comfortable knowing my puppy is in good hands. My puppy loves her and gets excited every time she comes by. After their walks, she comes back happy and tired with all that extra energy out, which makes a big difference. Really appreciate how consistent and caring Roxy is. Would definitely recommend.
