“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!”

About: My family and I have owned multiple dogs and I have dog sat for others dozens of times. I have been told that I am very good with Dogs. I am a former human resources administrator, I am not working currently. I suffer from chronic migraines and I need an opportunity with a flexible schedule and I love dogs and have been told that I am very good with Dogs. Recently I had to care for my nieces dog and he is very friendly with most humans but is reactive to other dogs. Taking him for walks around the house required patience and attention if another dog presented themselves.
“Nicole is an exceptional dog sitter and provide individualized care to my dog who’s quite anxious. Very grateful for her and rely on her when we have unexpected trips.”

“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!”

“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!”

“We have been fortunate to have Alexandra as our dog walker, and we couldn't be happier with her services. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to her work. Our dog absolutely adores Alexandra, and it's easy to see why. She has a natural way with pets, and Winnie is always excited to see her. Alexandra is consistently punctual, which we greatly appreciate given our busy schedules. Her reliability gives us peace of mind, knowing that our dog is in good hands. What sets Alexandra apart is her attention to detail and the thoughtful updates she provides after each walk. We receive detailed notes about the walk, including any interesting encounters or observations about our dog's behavior. This level of communication is invaluable and reassures us that our pet is well cared for. Above all, Alexandra is incredibly trustworthy. We feel completely comfortable having her in our home, and it's clear that she treats our dog with the same care and respect as she would her own. If you're looking for a dedicated, professional, and caring dog walker, we wholeheartedly recommend Alexandra. She has truly become an important part of our pet's life, and we are grateful for her exceptional service.”

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.
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 always loved animals. In Ukraine, my family had a farm where we nursed all types of animals, from kittens and dogs, to cows and chickens. In America, I have two cats and a dog who I grew up with and have taken care of for years. All the times I’ve pet-sit in the past, my clients, myself — and of course, the pets — were all satisfied. My medical experience has bred a pragmatic, thorough and alert mindset, offering a set of skills that I could carry over to pet care. Overall, I love spending time with animals, and I couldn’t imagine a more ideal job than pet-sitting! Currently, I work part-time and fit volunteering in wherever my schedule allows. I’m free on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, with an open schedule on Tuesdays after 6:30 PM and on Thursdays and Fridays after 2:30 PM. As such, I’m capable of providing plenty of attention to your pets, with a relatively flexible schedule. After years of bathing my cats and dog despite their reluctance, I’ve learned plenty about safety when it comes to handling animals. Giving medications, handling collars and leashes, and stimulating pets is simple for me. I’ve encountered many different situations and I’m equipped to deal with the vast majority. At the end of the day, the pets are my main priority, and my empathy and concern for animals makes me eager to work in any situation.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Growing up with two dogs of my own, I've always been surrounded by animals whether it's through family, friends, and dog sitting during the holidays. As an avid walker, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, and I'm excited to share that passion with your pet. I take pride in being reliable, professional and always putting the safety and well-being of your dog as my top priority. If there's anyway I can assist with your pet's needs, I'd love the opportunity to help them stay happy and healthy! I work from home Monday through Friday, 9AM - 5PM, with a flexible schedule. I take short or extended breaks every 2-3 hours, giving me plenty of opportunities to step outside and care for your pet. I live in a two-bedroom, non-smoking apartment with no children, offering a quiet and safe environment for your pet. The apartment complex features a fenced-in dog park.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!
“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!”

Roxbury dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Arianne. She was our regular dog walker for Boosh and Graham, and we are genuinely heartbroken that she’s moving away. From day one, Arianne was incredibly reliable — always prompt, on time, and extremely communicative. We never once had to worry when the dogs were in her care. What truly set Arianne apart was the way she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand their personalities and needs. Boosh and Graham absolutely adored her, and it was obvious how comfortable and happy they were with her. Arianne consistently went above and beyond, whether through detailed updates, photos, or simply the peace of mind she gave us knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and well cared for. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her — we would continue using her forever if we could. We give Arianne our highest possible recommendation without hesitation!

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!
