“Elizabeth is a wonderful Dogwalker. She is prompt and informative so that I have Mo 🐶 ready to go. Elizabeth made sure that Mo was comfortable as he is a senior citizen. There were water stops along the way, which was important due to extraordinarily hot & humid 🥵 week. Elizabeth even showed up in the rain ☔️ on our last day. 💫 I received 2 to 3 📸 on each walk for 7 full days☺️. Elizabeth is truly a professional delight. Very highly recommended; 10 out of 10. This a service I enjoy part of vacation as I travel. One good long walk first thing daily supported by a good Dogwalker and then I can fill in with smaller walks, especially while we are busy visiting family and friends. Thank you so much, Elizabeth! 🤩”
About: I have cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I am dependable, attentive, and passionate about animal care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work from home so I have a lot of free time. Why not spend time with furry friends! It’s also a great opportunity to take a breather and get fresh air during daily dog walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure that their daily routines are maintained to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also make sure the home remains clean and secure while providing pets with plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environment while their owners are away.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Stefanie! She has been a true life-saver, especially after we had our baby and needed extra help. Knowing we could count on her to take care of our dog, Astro, gave us such peace of mind during a busy and exhausting time. Astro absolutely loves his walks with her, and it’s clear Stefanie treats him like her own. She’s always on time, incredibly professional, and so caring. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Astro. Stefanie truly goes above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Ashley and Mauricio were great to work with! So kind and communicative. They treated my dog like their own and were so good to him. They were very reliable and I would 100% book them again.”
“Absolutely awesome! Michelle walked our dog on short notice while we were in the hospital for our newborn. She provided so much relief by playing with him and loving on him so much. 10/10”
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luigi! We really appreciate your help and the love you gave while we were away. It means a lot knowing our dog was in such good hands”
“Alexandra is absolutely lovely!! She has been so patient with my 11 month old puppy, Kinley, who can be quite shy. Kinley has really warmed up to her in such a short period of time and now loves her! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and grew up with three cats, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. During college, I was hired by local families to pet sit while they traveled, often caring for their pets for extended periods. Today, I continue to pet sit for friends and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, and I always take the time to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet is different, whether they love to play, go for walks, or just want a calm companion. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I have plenty of flexibility for daytime drop-in visits. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available in the evenings. I love fitting pet care into my routine and enjoy spending time with animals throughout the week. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates so you know your pet is in good hands. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions carefully, make sure doors and windows are secure, refresh food and water, clean up after your pet, and give them the attention they need. Whether your pet is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll respect their routine and personality while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Aaron is great! He is a great communicator, always on time and understands the needs of my dog. Mia received the care and attention she needed while Aaron was with her!”
About: I have taken care of several dogs in the past of different ages. This care has included walks, dog sitting overnight and drop in’s. Some of the dogs have required medication and specialized diets. I am currently in a masters program for Occupational Therapy. I am available Monday-Thursday in the morning, Friday nights and Saturday-Sunday all day. I am near some parks with lots of grassy areas and am in a good neighborhood. I will make sure to be attentive to their needs, give them affection and keep them safe during our outings. I will abide by food restrictions and will adjust locations of walks depending on if the dogs are dog friendly/aggressive.
About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures. I do not do boarding in my own home. 100% in the comfort of your own home please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions! I am very flexible for any pet care for any questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.
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.
“Chris is the absolute best!! He has walked Baxter so many times and taken care of him overnight at our house. I always know Baxter is in great hands, in the photos he sends Baxter is literally being his happiest self! I would highly recommend Chris for both walks and overnight stays! 💕”
“Daniela was reliable and on time for all of our walks. Her communication was fantastic letting me know when she was on her way and sent pics of the walks. I would hire her again.”

Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with Liquorice! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Liquorice came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly appreciated the extra attention and care she provided. I would definitely book with Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Aaron was great with my pitbull! After 5 years of weekly walks with my dog, I never had one problem with him and he always took great care of my dog on the walks. He’s very reliable, and very caring. Always would go above and beyond. Highly recommend!! Thank you Aaron!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Roxbury on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 11,009 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Roxbury.

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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roxbury. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
