“Judy took great care of my dog and kept me posted with regular updates. Communication was smooth and easy and she was flexible with timings, which really helped me!”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“Richard is kind and easy going. I felt my dog was in really good hands. He communicated with us during our dog’s stay and sent pics and that put us at ease.”
“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“This was my first experience with Rover, and I will admit I was nervous leaving my baby with a stranger. Thankfully, Karine’s glowing reviews were 100% true. Karine helped make me (and Laila) feel comfortable with the entire process. Karine provided frequent updates with pics throughout my pup’s stay. She showed Laila love and care as if she were her own. I highly recommend Karine to anyone and everyone!! I will be sure to rebook with her again. Thank you!! 💜”
“Carrigan was very easy to deal with and communicated clearly. My dog seemed to have had a good time at their sleep over. I would definitely have her take care of Selena again.”
“We are so blessed that we found Blanca to take care of our little doggy. She is wonderful with our Jack Russell Chihuahua mix. She knows just how to take care of him and make him happy. He had his first overnight stay with Blanca and we could tell that he was comfortable and happy. Thank you so much Blanca!”
“Monika was so so great! Roger (our pup) had the best time and came back super happy. I got lots of cute pics, and can’t wait to have Roger visit Monika and her family soon!!!!”
About: I am a doting dog-mom to an anxious, rescue shih-tzu mix, and I’ve had dogs my whole life! Whether your dog is big or small, great on a leash or not, I am happy to spend time with them and attend to their individual needs! I am currently between jobs and I have a car, so I can come to your home with flexibility and ease! I am available most days after 10am! I am happy to walk your dog, spend quality time with them in the home, or play with them in the yard! I can also feed them and give medication or treats as needed!
“Barbara is TRULY AMAZING with my dog Bentley . This was his 2nd stay and she’s made me more than comfortable this time around . She followed all the directions giving regarding my dog. He i truly didn’t have any worries concerns ...”
“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
“Andrea was WONDERFUL! Skye had such a lovely time at her home. It was our first time using her dog sitting in home service, I had an emergency and was unable to come pick her up, and Andrea accomodated a second day without hesitation. She truly gave me such peace of mind in an incredibly stressful situation— something that is very hard to find these days! 10/10 recommend using Andrea, her beautiful home and yard and stellar service!”
“Kevin and Ana are wonderful! We had our dog, Buddy, stay with them for in home boarding and he had a fantastic time playing with their dogs. Kevin provided frequent updates with photos and videos. Our dog had a minor injury right before our trip and required daily medication and a little extra TLC. We were so grateful for the great care he received during his stay.”
“Banksy was so happy at Juan's home. Juan did a wonderful job taking care of Banksy. He sent us photos of Banksy while we were away. Banksy was in good hands and had a fun time. Thank you Juan!”
“My dog Toby had a great time with Gwynne. She sent lots of pictures from his stay and he looked like a part of the family. Gwynne will be my first call to watch Toby the next time I go out of town!”
“I am very particular about care for my dog and everything about the experience with Danielle was 5 star+. She made time for a meet and great even though she wasn't available for the original dates I requested. She has a beautiful home perfect for dog boarding in a quite neighborhood with a fenced in yard. She and her husband are definitely dog lovers and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with them. I can tell my dog had a great time there. FWIW, I never write reviews, so just the fact I did will tell you how happy I am to find Danielle and recommend her to other dog lovers!”
“Lindsay was excellent when she took care of Frida. She always kept us informed and sent lots of pictures about how Frida was doing. Frida is usually anxious whenever she spends time away from me or my wife but Lindsay helped Frida feel comfortable and welcome. Also, having extra doggies around was perfect to help keep Frida company and have friends to play with. Would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their dog.”
“Katherine was so helpful taking our dog Ellie last minute on Thanksgiving. She was even kind enough to have her for one more day last minute, while we had guests in town! She sent pictures and was very responsive! Would absolutely use Katherine again in the future!”
“Irene was wonderfully communicative and took great care of our Chihuahua mix. It's such a relief having someone close by who can look after our dog like her own. I definitely plan to leave Pinky with Irene again in the future!”

Nandita was great while Gwen stayed at her home for a week! Gwen can be a very tentative dog, but Nandita made sure she was comfortable and taken care of. She was great at providing photos and videos during the stay and Gwen looked happy and comfortable throughout! Nandita is also extremely responsive, and she has a very friendly Labrador retriever who is great at interacting with all kinds of dog personalities. Highly recommend!
Melissa and Christian were fantastic with our two girls. Each day we received clever updates on what they were up to, how they were doing and what they have done. They were taken on multiple walks each day and were very comfortable with them. Will definitely be booking again with them!
Our small rescue dog Lucy stayed with Ashley 6 nights and the transformation was amazing! Ashley is a very talented and passionate trainer and I will certainly recommend her to anybody needing dog training and/or boarding. Lucy had strong reactivity to other dogs and during the boarding she gained her confidence and was able to relax. She is a much happier dog now and I was able to go to the dog park for the first time without a growl or attack on another dog! Of course it's important for the owner to learn what Ashley teaches so I recommend bringing a notepad to take notes since she had a lot to explain.
Steph did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She was very communicative and provided updates daily along with the cutest photos. She really cares about the dogs she takes care of. Definitely one of the top sitters we’ve found on Rover! We would happily book again and highly recommend her! I can tell our pup was in great hands.
Emma took amazing care of our 2.5 year old lab for one week while we went away on vacation. She took great care of our dog giving her plenty of exercise and care. She shared videos and photos on a regular basis which we were grateful for. Our dog came home safe and sound. We would definitely ask Emma to take care of our dog again!
Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
Kevin was enthusiastic & held the reins well, in acting as a surrogate for me, in the care of my lil Pup, who I adore! When I picked him up from his overnight stay… he returned happy, healthy & safe & sound! I also loved the pics he sent me. If needed again in the future, Kevin would be my “go to” caretaker for my Pup!
Judith and her family were wonderful with my Teddy. 🧸 They were responsive to his particular needs and invited him into their family with love. Their own dog Cali is very sweet, too, and I was happy that the two dogs got along right away. Their back yard is huge so Teddy got plenty of exercise running around. I would recommend Judith highly and I plan to book with her again.
I am very happy with Atilio & Silvia's family and how they care for and about my dogs. They are careful with their feeding and prescriptions - and have fun with the dogs. I got pictures and feedback daily and my dogs always looks very relaxed. I will defininately use them whenever I travel, with confidence and pleasure! Many thanks for your open hearts and caring home!
Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!
Darline took great care of our Mini Aussie (Bentley) while we were away. She provided regular updates and photos while also making sure he was safe and having fun during his stay! It looks like he had more fun than he even has at home! Look forward to booking with Darline again.
Sarah was super friendly and available on short notice, which we really appreciated. We recently moved to the U.S., so our dog is still adjusting to all the new surroundings and changes. Sarah kept me updated and let me know that he was quite restless, and she really tried to understand him and respond to his needs. I’m grateful for her patience and care!
Claire was wonderful hosting my little Yorkie for two full days while I was away. He was in great hands!! She was caring, loving and super patient with him. I received very detailed updates about his stay and he was super relaxed when getting back home. Thank you so much Claire! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Roxbury on Rover is $69.17 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,096 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Roxbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Roxbury sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Roxbury landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Roxbury home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Roxbury.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Roxbury sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
