“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”

“Stefanie was great with our little pup! He absolutely adored his walks and is looking forward to his next time with Stefanie! She was always prompt and sent us updates that we always laughed at!”


“Chase is great. He always sends a report card after each walk and several pictures of our dogs on their walk. The dogs always seem happy after their walks with him. One weekend we had an issue with the boarder we had planned to have our dogs stay with. Chase was able to help out on short notice. It was such a relief to know he was taking care of our dogs. We would definitely recommend Chase.”

“Alexandra has been walking my dog, Lucy, on a regular basis for about 4 months so far and has consistently done a great job. She’s been incredibly reliable, very responsive, and great with Lucy in every way. I’ve had a lot of dog walkers from Rover over the years and have no reservations at all in recommending Alexandra.”
“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.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. I have done walks, drop-ins, overnights, and long term dog care for family, friends, and neighbors. I love all dogs, and have grown up around dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule. I have a lot of time for walks, playing, and spending time with your pets! I always keep dogs on their leash, or keep an eye on them when they are outside. I am comfortable walking any size dog, and always make sure gates are closed when dogs are in a fenced in area!
“Cassidy is fantastic! She takes great care of our dog Aspen and is patient, kind, and gentle with him. She also comes to walk Aspen regardless of how cold or crummy the weather is! We highly recommend her!”

About: I have always had a special love for animals and truly enjoy caring for them! I understand that pets are part of the family, and I believe they deserve the same love, attention, and care that they receive at home. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine passion for making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving each pet the individual attention they deserve.

About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.

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! As someone with many pets, I know every animal has different personalities and needs. I’m able to adjust to your environment and your animals comfort.

About: Over 12 years of dog sitting, watching, walking in my personal life and 2 years of experience training service dogs! I grew up with dogs in my home and have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once, any size, breed and age. My schedule is flexible with working remotely and I am able to accommodate your pet sitting schedule easily. I have my own transportation and am able to travel to your home for a quick morning puppy potty break, mid day walk, full day sitting or overnight board. I live in a calm, serine house with plenty of yard space also right next to a local beach and walking path. If your dog is senior or has any health issues- I have experience with giving oral medications, topical creams, bandaging, and adhering to physical restrictions of needed! I work full time remotely- my schedule is flexible with taking calls and meetings. Throughout the day I am available for quick walks, a longer day of pet sitting or overnights.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, especially senior pups who need a little extra love and support. I cared for my mini dachshund from childhood through her older years and have looked after many pets with medical conditions, so I’m confident giving medication, staying on top of routines, and tuning into what each pet needs. As a therapist, I bring a calm, loving, and attuned presence to every visit. I treat every pet with reliability, warmth, and lots of snuggles. Whether it’s playtime, a slow walk, or just company while you’re away, I’m here to care for your pet with heart. I work remotely and make my own schedule as a therapist, so I’m able to easily build pet care into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I’m used to structuring my schedule around care and consistency, so your pet would get reliable attention, supervision, and lots of affection throughout the week. I’m especially experienced with small dogs who are curious, clever, and love to squeeze into tight spaces, so I know firsthand how important it is to stay attentive. I make sure pets are always in my line of sight or that I know exactly where they are at all times. I also check in with clients about house rules, including which areas are pet-friendly or off-limits, and I work with them to create a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s keeping doors closed, watching for sneaky hiding spots, or just being extra mindful, I prioritize your pet’s safety and wellbeing like they’re my own.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and I’ve had the joy of caring for just about every kind of pet you can imagine- from puppies and cats to reptiles and horses! I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I have experience with obedience and potty training for puppies (lots of patience, consistency, and praise are key!), and I’ve also worked with senior and special needs dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s sticking to medication schedules or adjusting to their pace, I make sure they always feel comfortable and supported. From playtime and walks to cuddles and clean-up, I bring plenty of energy, compassion, and attention to detail. No matter the species, I have love to go around! I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fully integrate pet care into my daily and weekly schedule. This means I can adjust my routine to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, or any special needs a pet may have. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether it’s short check-ins, extended play sessions, or administering medications on a strict schedule. Being home allows me to be present and attentive, creating a stable and reassuring environment for pets, and ensuring that their needs are always met without feeling rushed or overlooked. My goal is always to keep pets as comfortable and secure as possible while their owners are away. I do my best to maintain their normal routines—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime—so they feel consistency and familiarity even in their owner’s absence. I understand that being cared for by someone new can sometimes bring on a bit of anxiety, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and giving them plenty of love and attention. This helps make the transition smooth, and ensures each pet feels safe, cared for, and right at home.
“These 2 ladies are excellent with their care and walks for my dog Frankie. They take the time to get to know her and what she likes. They communicate before they come and when they are walking her. They are timely and caring. They let me know when they are back from the walk. I will definitely use them again!”

If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm space where they can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether at my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Roxbury
We're so excited to share our experience with Alexandra! She's been incredibly patient and we can't express enough how wonderful she is. Finding her through Rover has truly made us happy. We definitely want to keep using her services! She's always on time and follows all the instructions we've given her perfectly. Seriously, we can't thank you enough, Alex!

I couldn’t recommend Shayla enough! My elderly dog needed extra care and attention. Shayla was very understanding and had great knowledge for meeting Lucy’s needs. Lucy came back to me with her tail wagging and very happy. I will look forward to using Shayla again next time I need her!

Elizabeth has been absolutely wonderful walking Liquorice! She is extremely professional, punctual, and reliable, and took fantastic care of her every single day. Liquorice always looked forward to her visits, and having someone so trustworthy gave me complete peace of mind while away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!

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!

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. I can't say enough good things about Stefanie -- I recommend her highly and am so glad we found her!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Roxbury is $18 per walk as of November 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.

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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 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.

- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
