“Kevin and Ana came exactly when they said, walked my dogs and dried them off from the rain, and were very communicative. When my new address was not updated in the system and they ended up at my old address, they contacted me right away and without hesitation went to my new address 20 minutes away. I will definitely get in touch again when I need a dog walker and sitter!”

I have experience looking after dogs and other pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or require extra care. I’m also comfortable following specific routines and instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings.

About: I have several years of experience caring for both pets and children. While working as a nanny for multiple families, I was also responsible for their dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and happy. This gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. At home, I am a proud cat owner, so I also understand the unique needs of cats and how to provide them with the right care and attention. I am patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s walking a dog, keeping a pet company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. have a very flexible schedule. Sunday Mondays and Tuesdays I am super available. Most mornings before 10 am I’m free and I sometimes work from home. My schedule is adjustable, I can often adapt to different needs during the week. The care I provide always depends on each pet parent’s instructions, since every animal has unique needs and routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them regular walks, fresh food and water, playtime, and lots of attention. Safety is always my first priority whether that means keeping doors secured, watching carefully on walks, or following special feeding instructions. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, so pet parents can feel fully at ease while they are away.

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 cared for all kinds of dogs and cats: big or small. I’m super active and love hiking and walking. I own a lovely Cockapoo, a Siberian cat and have two kids. I’m reliable, communicative and responsible. I’ve been working from home and I’m up early to take my dog for a run and feed my Siberian. Early mornings and weekend requests are no problem. I have a super flexible schedule and in case of conflicts, I can also reach out and offer my college-aged daughter, to cover so you don’t have to worry about finding another provider when I’m away. I provide updates on your pet care for your ease of mind. I do this work with my daughters simply because we love pets. We had many clients in Westchester, and just moved to CT.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Campbell! 🐾 I know how important it is to find someone who cares for your pets the way you do. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I bring patience, reliability, and plenty of love to every visit. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I pride myself on making sure tails wag, paws stay happy, and owners feel at ease. Think of me as your pet’s new best friend (with a pocket full of treats). Right now I’m lucky enough to have a very flexible schedule, which means pet care can be my top priority. I’m currently between jobs and excited to dedicate my time full-time to caring for pets. Whether it’s weekday walks, weekend drop-ins, or last-minute needs, I have the availability (and energy!) to give your pets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my first priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure — from feeding times to favorite toys and walking routes. I always double-check leashes, doors, and gates to keep them safe, and I’ll send plenty of updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while keeping your pet happy, loved, and cared for. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your furry family member will feel welcome. I make sure they have a cozy, comfortable environment and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, and snuggles are all part of the routine, and I keep their feeding and care schedule consistent with what they’re used to at home. I treat every pet like my own, so you can relax knowing they’re in a safe, loving environment. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 social and lovable dogs that they will become instant besties with and can keep each other company!

Reach out when you’re in need of trusted care(: I care for dogs in my clients’ homes by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine.

For house sitting or drop-in visits, I respect your home and make sure your dog feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I follow feeding schedules, administer any medications if needed, and give them quality time and affection. During walks, I ensure your dog gets physical exercise and mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I pay attention to leash manners, local weather, and your dog’s pace and preferences. No matter the service, I treat every dog like they’re my own—keeping you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: Having grown up in a household bustling with three dogs and three cats, I've been immersed in pet care from a very young age! My hands on experience ranges from raising a German Shepherd to managing the boundless energy of a Husky and the loyal companionship of a Lab—each breed presenting its unique challenges. As a college student, I continue this passion with my beloved dog, Dewey, who is a constant companion. My specialties include embracing long walks (hiking is a favorite), potty training, and dedicating quality time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. As a recent college student with a vast amount of flexibility, I find more time to dedicate to my passion for pet care. Though I work part-time nannying , my free moments are often spent on long walks with my dog, Dewey, or those of my friends. These outings range from early morning walks to peaceful nighttime walks, seamlessly integrating into my daily routine. In my home, I create a welcoming environment for pets by ensuring they have a safe, comfortable space for their little vacation! I prioritize routine, from feeding and exercise to play and rest in my acred fenced backyard, adapting to the individual needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their familiar routines to minimize stress. Since each pet is different, I have to adapt to what they are used to at home to make them comfortable. I also keep thorough communication with owners, providing updates and seeking guidance to tailor my approach according to the pet’s habits and preferences. Whether in my home or theirs, I am committed to providing a nurturing and attentive care environment that meets each pets unique personality!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Roxbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Roxbury is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 10,320 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Roxbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.

To find sitters in Roxbury with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roxbury. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
