“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! 🤩”
“Aaron is great. He truly cares about animals and their well being. I trust him to come in my home and care for my dog. He understands Sarge's needs. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a dog walker. He always responds immediately when booking, is punctual and keeps me informed.”
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.
“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!”
“Thanks to Ashley and Mauricio's amazing dog walking services, Spence had a great July 4th weekend! We were a little worried about leaving Spence alone during the holiday chaos, but Ashley and Mauricio completely put our minds at ease. From the initial meet and greet, we realized that Spence was very comfortable with them, so we knew that we didn't have anything to worry about. Ashley and Mauricio are very reliable and trustworthy and great with communicating and keep us updated as to how things are progressing. We received adorable pictures and updates after every walk, letting us know how much fun Spence was having. It was such a relief to see Spence enjoying the holiday weekend just as much as we were. If you're looking for a dog walker who goes above and beyond, look no further than Ashley and Mauricio! We can't thank them enough for making sure Spence had a fantastic July 4th weekend. We highly recommend Ashley and Mauricio to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and fun dog walker!”
“Nicole was great with our dog, Odey, on his first walk! She was patient, communicative, and shared lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Especially helpful given his separation anxiety. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”
“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”
“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!”
“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! 💕”
“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’m a caring, reliable dog lover with hands on experience raising my own Maltese and Yorkie. I understand the attention, patience, and consistency dogs need, especially smaller breeds. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they’ve been away, handling feeding, walks, and daily routines. It’s helped me build trust and confidence in caring for dogs in others’ homes. I enjoy long walks around Harbor Point and always prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m available on weekdays after 3:30 PM due to a school schedule, with increased flexibility during school breaks and throughout the summer. Occasional weekend availability. I always prioritize safety, trust, and your dog’s routine when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions closely, make sure your dog is safely leashed before walks, and stay attentive to our surroundings at all times. I also take care when entering and leaving your home by checking doors and gates, and I always treat your space with respect. Every dog is cared for with the same compassion and reliability I give my own.
“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!”
“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!”
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 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 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.
“Katharine is absolutely wonderful! She’s reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”

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!!

Ashley is the best! Ashley is extremely reliable. She comes when she says she will come and when walking will send you pictures and updates of how the walk is going. She is extremely friendly, personable, and a pleasure to work with. Ashley is wonderful with my dog and I can go away and know with 100% confidence that my dog will be well taken care of. The only problem is my dog is so disappointed when Ashley leaves! Hire Ashley and then just relax!

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.
