About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and picked out the cutest black Lab/ border Collie mix named Memphis. Growing up with dogs and living with dogs has been such an important part of my life. My Mom even says I love dogs more than her! Friends have trusted me to take their dogs on walks, house-sit and just go over for some play-time. I'm currently working part-time on my next venture and can work from anywhere! This means my time is very flexible and can help out during all hours of the week. I consider myself a very caring and detail oriented person. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, per your instructions. I also pride myself on being a very clean individual and will take great care of your home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life and feel more comfortable around them than I do most humans. I can handle big dogs—I’ve had midsized dogs my whole life, but I’m a big guy myself and have experience with bernese mountain dogs. I also have two dogs at the moment, and can handle zone coverage if necessary! I’m very loving of dogs with any conditions or special circumstances, and will be very respectful of any instructions or boundaries. I’m home from college for the summer. I work from home on my own schedule, so I can basically do whatever is easiest for the dog/family with enough notice. I keep my dogs really active! Walks, car rides, three meals a day, tug of war, fetch, treat training. I find it all very fun so none of it feels like a chore!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since having our first family dog when I was little. I trained our family dog to not only have discipline, but also do tricks! I recently trained my friend’s dog to do some fun tricks too. I love to give the pups all the attention and patience they deserve. I shared a cat all through college with my roommate and am familiar with cats needs. I currently have Friday-Sunday off so I’d love to board or do walks on the weekend. I’m also available in the mornings and evenings if walks are needed then. I live close to lots of walking paths and dog parks. It’s a great area to go on long walks or to the dog parks!
“Molly was great with Bella! Communication was on point (quick responses and always confirmed a day before), received cute photos of Bella playing in the backyard, seems like they had the best time! Would absolutely trust Molly again with my dog!”

About: Hi there! I’m a certified therapy dog handler with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. My lifelong passion for animals began when I was a little girl, and it’s grown into a fulfilling career centered on compassion, connection, and trust. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare known as Paws of Greenwich, volunteered with Adopt-A-Dog, and have hands-on experience with basic training—especially with rescue dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. Having cared for three amazing dogs of my own (two of them rescues), I know how important it is to find someone who treats your pup like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, your dog will always feel safe, loved, and cared for in my hands. 🐾 I’m currently a full-time dog sitter, dedicated to providing the highest level of care, attention, and love for your pets. Whether your pup enjoys outdoor adventures or cozy days at home, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. From scenic hikes and fun outings to quality playtime and cuddles, your dog will always feel happy, safe, and loved. Meet-and-greet fees: $25–$30 I will always follow any specific guidelines you have for your pet to ensure their routine and comfort are maintained. Typically, I take dogs outside at least three to four times a day, unless discussed otherwise or we’ve already enjoyed a long outdoor adventure that day. I’m happy to handle feeding, bathing, and any other needs for only $5-10 on top of the total cost, and will always making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and endlessly loved.

About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has had dogs since I was little.

I treat every dog as if they were my own and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’ve always had dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I work a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of attention throughout the day. On weekends, I’m typically outdoors, going for walks, spending time with family, or relaxing at home, which makes it easy to incorporate extra pet care. I love having dogs around and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I know many pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on keeping their schedule consistent, providing companionship, exercise, and lots of love while their owner is away.
About: Hi, I'm Denise and have worked in doggie daycare and pet sitting, including fostering for many years. My full time job pays my mortgage but caring for animals brings me joy. I am professional, polite, old school and give personalized attention to your pooch. I'm available super early weekday mornings, evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday. I currently work full time near home so I can easily get home for potty breaks. Pets will never be alone for more than 4 hours. I always am sure they are leashed before the door is open. While I do not have a fenced in yard, I'm an avid walker so your pets will surely get the steps in. I work a mile from home so mid day potty breaks are easy. I'm a big walker so pups get their exercise and lots of play time at home. I always keep the pups in my care away from other dogs and people for safety. I do not have a fenced in yard but have enough property for a late night quick pee and poop.

Animals are naturally drawn to my calm, compassionate energy, creating a safe and healing space where they thrive.

“LisaLeigh really helped us out when we were in a bind. She was communicative and took great care of our two pups for the night. I will absolutely be calling her again!”
About: I had a dog of my own growing up and was incredibly lucky to be highly involved in all stages of her life. I have also been blessed to watch many other dogs consistently over the years and was able to be with them as they grew old. From crazy energy and intense training, to medication and helping ones who aren't as able. I have experience with young pups and the senior dogs. I am fit and able to walk large dogs, also nurturing and able to soothe those shy ones out there. I appreciate your consideration and hope to meet you and your fur family soon! I am an early bird and willing to come early, typically 6-8am. My days can be flexible but typically on shorter notice. My evenings are usually open! Weekends vary. I am willing to make anything and everything work in advance and short notice! I am happy to care for your pet exactly as instructed by you. For walks and drop-ins I ask that any potential watch-outs are communicated as well as anything that your pet specifically loves! Whatever is best for you and your pet(s) is best for me.
“Natalia did a great job looking after my cats. They are shy but she did a good job finding them in their hiding spots, and she did a good job communicating with us while we were away.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Roxbury
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.

Nicole is wonderful with my Atlas. She is always on time, communicative, and sends lots of pics. I was concerned that he might develop separation anxiety when I returned to work, but Nicole’s drop-ins keep him happy and engaged (the only separation anxiety is mine 😊). Her consistency and experience is helping him learn his manners (leash and potty etiquette) very well.

Hanaya is perfect! I can only say good things! She helped us out in a terrible pinch. She was responsive and prompt about it, willing to commit to what I consider to be a challenging job, and she did it reliably and proved very flexible as well. I’m going to use her again the next time something comes up!
Evelina was absolutely amazing with my Marley while I was away on a week-long cruise. From the start, she was professional, kind, and very communicative, which gave me real peace of mind. She sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear Marley was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When I got back, Marley was relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved his time with her. Evelina truly treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Evelina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover helper.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Roxbury stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Roxbury choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
