“Hanaya was great with our anxious mini-Golden doodle. She took great care of him, and was extremely flexible with dates and times. We will definitely use Hanaya again!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Cassidy, she is simply the best. She went far beyond expectations when one of my cats was being very difficult. I appreciate all her efforts and flexibility. You could not find a better sitter. Highly recommend”
“Ashley and Mauricio were polite, very easy to communicate with and extremely professional. They were so sweet with my dog and I would 100% recommend using them!”
“Aaron has been an amazing sitter for my pets. I have an older lab and he has worked with him on several behavior issues and I see such a dramatic change in my dog! I highly recommend Aaron not only for pet sitting but training as well.”
“Stefanie was absolutely wonderful taking care of my cats! She was very patient, caring, and attentive with them. Every day she kept me updated on how they were doing and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats felt very comfortable and relaxed around her, and that means a lot to me because I really care about who I trust with them. I could tell that she treated them with genuine love and care. I’m very grateful to Stefanie and would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, patient, and loving with their pets! ❤️🐾”
“Daniela is wonderful! I was apprehensive about leaving my 2 cats and she went above & beyond to make me feel comfortable. Very communicative, responsible, and diligent. We have worked with her twice now and would hire her for any future pet care needs!”
About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog his meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
“Bianca has amazing communication skills! I’m reassured my pet is well loved by her. She bonded with him right away! She’s considerate to his needs. She went above and beyond when my dog didn’t want to “make”.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have four cats and a big black lab myself. I’ve been taking care of their needs and my family’s pets for years! I’m a recent college graduate who’s currently searching for a job so I have plenty of time on my hands for your animals! As someone with many pets, I know every animal has different personalities and needs. I’m able to adjust to your environment and your animals comfort.
“Nicole was so great with our cat Pepper! She sent so many photos updates and was super communicative throughout the time watching her. Would highly recommend!”
“Poppy LOVES spending her hour with you! She is always so tired from her walk and the photos we get are amazing! You are so flexible and always so accommodating! We know Poppy is well taken care of when she’s with you”
“Chris was great with my puppy! Very attentive to both my needs and my puppy’s needs during his visits. Great communication and photos to ease my nerves. I’m would highly recommend him for any of your pets needs!!”
“Nina is wonderful. She made me feel so safe leaving my 7 month old puppy. I was able to enjoy my vacation and my dog loved her. She has great character and is an educated woman. I was blessed to find her . I wish she lived closer to me.”
“i never met elvia, only spoke on the phone, making arrangements for my dog. Having never met her, leaving my house keys was honestly a bit uncomfortable for me. however, given her excellent reviews, i decided to just trust and go for it. elvia came exactly on time, fed and played with my dog for a half hour and then left. everything went just as planned. her communication was great, which was essential, and put me at ease. i had a postive experience.”
“Alexandra did an amazing job with our two kitties while we went on vacation. They were loved and well cared for, and she played a LOT with them! We definitely would recommend her!”
“Annabel is an excellent sitter; she hit it off with our cats right away, and took great care of them while we were away for 3 nights. We would have her take care of our cats again!”
About: I have been caring for my clients dogs for over 10 years. I love walking and playing with all animals. I also have my own dog who can be a companion if your dog needs a playmate. I am a fulltime dog walker, have a very flexible schedule and can generally be available on short notice for drop-ins and walks or even on hikes! I am also available for overnight dog/house sitting! All services will be at my clients houses or in their neighborhoods for walks. This allows dogs to be in environments that they are already comfortable with while meeting somebody new.
“Ria went above and beyond making sure our two rescue cats were well-taken care of while we were away. She sent text and photo updates throughout and took care to play with and get to know our cats. Highly recommend, exactly what we hoped for from drop-in visits!”

Nina is absolutely fantastic! Her communication was excellent, and she provided detailed daily updates with pictures. My cat needs special care, and Nina was extremely responsible and paid close attention to detail of the care routine. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
Daniela took good care of the cats. Setting up are communications are smooth and easy. Ad hoc requests on unexpected incidents were well taken care of. The house is clean after the sessions. Overall it was a great experience. Will request their help again in the future.
Connor was great watching our cat Pepper while we were away! He sent photos and a detailed check in each day, making sure she had everything she needed. He went above and beyond cleaning around her little box and taking out the trash when he noticed it was full. Pepper can be quite shy, and he took the time to coax her out with toys and give her extra attention! Would highly recommend Connor for any pet sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Roxbury on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roxbury. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
