Pet care experience
I moved to Colorado in August (2015) from Texas, where I was an adoption counselor and Adoption/Volunteer Coordinator at a no-kill animal shelter for three years. When I first moved out to Colorado, I worked at a service dog organization for a year, then a dog friendly architecture firm in RiNo (near downtown Denver) for 4 years, and I recently started a job working fully remote at a tech company. The ability to be fully remote while living so close to Cheeseman Park has been amazing especially when pet sitting! I have worked with dogs at groomers, animal shelters, doggie daycares, and dog boarding facilities. I have also pet sat and fostered dogs of all ages since 2012 and I currently foster on and off when I am not pet sitting or traveling. When I moved out to Colorado, I "Foster-failed" with my first Colorado foster dog named Shenzie and she is now part of my furry family. I also have a cat who thinks she's a dog. No dog size is too much or too small for me! I love meeting any new furry friends that come my way. My job is fully remote so I am almost always home with the dogs during the weekdays and I am more than able to keep dogs overnight. On weekends, my friends and I typically take our dogs hiking with us or go to dog-friendly places. About my yard I live in a large house with a huge fenced in backyard only two blocks away from Cheeseman, so there are plenty of great walks that I can take the pups on. My experience administering medication: From all of my experience both with pets of my own as well as working with animals, I know how to vaccinate animals, as well as take out sutures and take blood if needed. I also know how to check to see if an animal is hydrated or not and can administer medication orally or any way needed.
Reviews
We love Roxy! Emerson came home tired and happy. Roxy sent us pictures and kept us up to date on everything that was happening with him. We highly recommend her. Her love of dogs is genuine.
Boba loves hanging out with Roxy and her pups. She is flexible and easy to communicate with. My pupper always comes back tired and happy 😃
Roxy was incredible with Captain Jack. She saved us in a last minute pinch for daycare. She was extremely responsive and accommodating for an early morning drop off. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Captain Jack was completely wore out but in a great mood when we got home. Highly recommend!
We LOVE Roxy! She was great with the dogs and with us. Very flexible and friendly, made the dogs and us very confortable. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Roxy!

Information Roxy R. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences whatsoever. I love dogs and cats of all colors, breeds, sizes, and temperaments! If the dog has any aggression or is not good with cats, then this is something I would need to know ahead of time.
A typical day
Since cheeseman park is so close to me, we can take walks around that and on weekends, we typically enjoy going on hikes! Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Hopefully in my bed with me and my dog! Unless you prefer that he/she sleep in a crate, then I can make that happen as well. Time I'll spend with your dog: As much as possible :)

Since I work fully remote, it is easy for me to be here with the pets all day! I am able to keep an eye on the pups as well as entertain them since I can take several breaks throughout my days.
