“I was a little nervous using a dog walker for the first time, but she made the whole experience so easy. She was great with Summer, communicated really well, and sent me updates, which I really appreciated. It was nice knowing Summer was being taken care of. I’m definitely happy with the experience and would use her again!”

“Victoria is absolutely AMAZING! I feel so lucky to have found her. Gus is an older guy and means the absolute world to me, so I’m incredibly particular about who I trust with him. Victoria is kind, reliable, communicative, and so genuinely caring with him. I have complete peace of mind knowing Gus is in such wonderful hands. He absolutely adores her — and so do I! Could not recommend Victoria more highly! ❤️🐾”

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!

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 her 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.

About: Growing up with a dog taught me how to care for them naturally, and now my fiancé and I are putting our love for dogs into raising our own puppy, a 7-month-old Cockapoo named Kenai! What sets me apart is that I provide the same meticulous, loving routine at home that I would bring to your pet. From daily care to managing his vaccines and vet visits, I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy, safe, and happy. Your pup will get my undivided attention, supervision, and plenty of love! Best Regards, Daniel Pet care is seamlessly woven into my everyday life. As a business owner, I have wonderfully flexible availability throughout the week and also weekends to ensure your dog receives constant attention. I maintain a safe, secure environment by actively supervising pets at all times, keeping hazards away, and following your exact routine. When I am watching your pet, I am as concerned for their safety as I would be for my own dog.

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 had dogs growing up. As an adult I have had cats and dogs, many of whom had special needs. I have had two blind cats and cats and dogs with various chronic medical conditions. I also have a veterinary assistant certificate from Norwalk Community College and I have worked as a vet assistant. I am retired for now. This leaves me time to focus on your animals. I can do sleepovers as well as daily walks and home visits for cats. I cannot take pets in my home but can do walks and sleepovers in a clients home. If an owner has a fenced in yard and the dog likes going out in the yard I would go with the dog and not leave the dog unattended. If the dog is used to walks we would walk.

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: Dogs have always been much more than pets to me they’re genuinely one of my biggest interests. Along with caring for my own dog, I have professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, routines, and energy levels. I’m especially interested in canine wellness, enrichment, and nutrition. With my own dog, I enjoy making homemade treats, preparing enrichment activities, and finding creative ways to keep him happy, active, and engaged. I bring that same level of attention to the dogs I care for. Whether I’m walking your dog, checking in, or staying with them, I want their time with me to actually add something positive to their day not just meet the bare minimum. * Extended stays: Additional charges apply when pickup extends the start time on the first night of the stay. 2–8 extra hours: $22.50 (50% of my $45 rate) More than 8 extra hours: $45 (100% of my rate) * Additional Care Requirements: My standard boarding rate covers routine feeding, walks, companionship, and everyday supervision. Dogs requiring substantial additional care, including frequent indoor accidents, repeated diaper changes, extensive cleaning or laundry, or other time intensive assistance, may incur an additional care fee starting at $10 per day. The final rate will depend on the level of care required and will be discussed and agreed upon before the booking is confirmed. Please disclose all relevant care requirements in advance so I can determine whether I’m able to accommodate your dog safely and comfortably. Mild additional cleanup or supervision +$10/day Frequent accidents, diaper changes, and additional laundry +$15–$20/day Extensive cleanup and unusually demanding care +$25/day or a custom quote * Last-Minute Bookings: Bookings requested less than 48 hours before drop-off will be subject to an additional fee based on availability and the arrangements required. Any additional fee will be communicated and agreed upon before the booking is confirmed. 20% of $45 = $9 extra per night My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins. I can also discuss specific times and availability depending on what you and your pet need. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I’ll always follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, boundaries, or routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

I am so grateful to Stefanie for taking care of my 6-month old puppy. Between walks, cuddles, playing in the grass, he received the best care. She also went above and beyond to keep an eye on my cat and make fast friends with her. Beautiful messages and photos kept my mind at ease, while giving a glimpse into how happy and content my kiddos are with her.

Josh is everything you want in a dog walker. He is 100% reliable and he communicates often and promptly. And of course he loves pets and he will make sure that your pet is extremely well cared for. If you have any special instructions Josh will adhere to them perfectly. So if you hire Josh you will know that your pet is in excellent hands and you can have total peace of mind.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Roxbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Roxbury is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 10,913 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Roxbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Roxbury. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Roxbury after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
