“Chrissy will definitely stay with Melissa and Christian again. They sent lots of updates and pictures, we knew she was in good hands her entire stay. Thank you both!”

About: I am a trusted dog walker with years of experience. I have experience with big and small dogs, disabled and rescued. My goal is to provide the best care to your pet and to ensure that they are safe happy and comfortable. I prioritize sticking to your pets routines to make sure he/she feels comfortable. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Depending on the hours I can start same day! I’m available for walks after 7:30am until 5pm Monday-Friday. Weekends I am available but would need to know in advance. Pets are allowed in my home for boarding, MUST be kid-friendly and house trained. If not kid friendly, I Kindly ask that you let me know In advance to make proper arrangements.

“We had a wonderful experience with Karen! She took such great care of our chocolate lab while we were away and gave us total peace of mind. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated—it was clear our girl was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Would recommend to anyone!”

About: Hi! I’m Ashley — a lifelong dog lover and trainer with over 23 years of experience in rescue, rehabilitation, fostering, and behavioral support. From puppies to seniors, anxious dogs to reactive ones, I’ve worked with them all. My beloved dog recently passed away, so right now it’s just me at home. That means your pup will receive my full attention, care, and plenty of one-on-one love during their stay. I’m based in a quiet suburban area of Stamford, set back from the road with plenty of open, secure outdoor space. Dogs enjoy safe freedom to run and play away from traffic, along with calm neighborhood walks and lots of fresh air and enrichment. I’m accepting: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting • Dog training • Doggy day care • Boarding Doggy Day Care with Training & Enrichment — starting at $85/day Unlike standard day care, my service combines structured training and full-day care. Your pup will enjoy a safe, attentive environment that may include leash, prong, and/or e-collar work (based on the dog’s needs and owner preference), foundational obedience such as heel, place, and down, and consistent reinforcement throughout the day — not just playtime. Day care covers 8+ hours (with extended care flexibility), so you don’t have to worry if your schedule runs long. With years of hands-on experience and proven results working with dogs of all temperaments, I focus on balance, mental stimulation, and clear communication, providing the kind of structure and enrichment that makes a real difference for both dogs and their owners. I take pride in creating a peaceful, supportive experience where dogs feel comfortable, understood, and confident. Dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time, weather permitting, along with structure and one-on-one attention, supported by the calm presence of my highly trained dog Jemma, who sets a steady, positive example. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I offer calm, structured care tailored to each dog’s temperament, with close supervision, respect for boundaries, and individualized attention.
“Irene was wonderfully communicative and took great care of our Chihuahua mix. It's such a relief having someone close by who can look after our dog like her own. I definitely plan to leave Pinky with Irene again in the future!”

“Denise watched my dog Paddy for over a week while he was recovering from Lyme’s. She was very friendly, kind and assuring during this period. She also communicated with me daily and sent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend.”

“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”

“Andrea was great. She was very communicative and responsive. She sent pictures of our pup during her stay. She also has a nice yard where the dogs can run around & play together. Thank you, Andrea!”

“Amy is the best! She not only kept him safe and happy but took him out on walks and played with him. She checked in daily and even sent pictures. We will definitely be using her again! Thanks again, Amy!”

“Hana was wonderful with Lucy and Oreo! She treated them like her own, giving them so much attention, keeping them so clean, and showing them so much love-not to mention I got so many pictures each day, making me so reassured!”

“Asia was awesome and watched my dog, Bambi, at the last minute. She responded quickly and was always available. Her dog is super cute too and was all smiles when Bambi arrived. Would definitely recommend!”

“Stephanie was so great I would recommend her to anyone! She sent pictures and updates everyday! She was super easy to contact and flexible with booking! Winston had a lovely time and I would definitely have her look after him again!”

“Justin appears to be an excellent pet caretaker. He is dependable and efficient. He was readily available to accommodate my schedule on short notice. His rates are reasonable for the services he provides. Thanks Justin!”

“I left my high energy dog, Marley with Kevin for one night. I can tell he definitely enjoyed his short stay. Kevin was very good with providing updates and pictures/videos. I've read some reviews about some sitters being rude if there's some issues. Kevin was very professional in handling and informing me about Marley's issues. This was only my third time using a sitter and Marley is still very new to it but this was by far the best experience I've had.”

“Jorge and his two dogs were fantastic with my Bernedoodle! Excellent communication and regular photo/video updates of all the fun. My dog got lots of exercise and play time, and Jorge even went above and beyond by giving him a bath. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!!”

“Kyle always provides the best experience for our active friendly pup! She loves spending time at his house and the it big backyard completely fenced in is a great place to run and let off steam! We are a very happy repeat client 😊😊”

About: Since I was ~12, my neighbors would always bring their dogs for me to watch/walk while they were on vacation. More recently, I have also walked friends and neighbors dogs while they are at work (I work remote). I work remote in a flexible job, so I’m able to give lots of attention to your dog. I can walk them 4+ times per day depending on your needs, I live right near grass if they only want to go out to pee, and I am a 1 min walk from a small dog park if they love to run off leash. I live in an apartment with my own dog, so I always make sure everything is pet friendly - no harmful cleaning chemicals, air filters, only dog treats. I even have a reverse osmosis water filter to give your doggo luxury water :)
“Lisa was a fantastic sitter for our dog while we were in town for a wedding! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos and is clearly very experienced with dogs. Our girl is shy around new people but seemed to settle in super easily with Lisa and her family. Highly recommend Lisa for all your pup-sitting needs!”

Roxbury pet parents share their Rover experiences
Claire was wonderful hosting my little Yorkie for two full days while I was away. He was in great hands!! She was caring, loving and super patient with him. I received very detailed updates about his stay and he was super relaxed when getting back home. Thank you so much Claire! 🐾

We are super happy with Katherine! She took care of our dog Maxi for a weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Maxi was well cared for and felt comfortable with her. Katherine is incredibly friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I can highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Nandita was amazing. She took great care of our Bex, and was very attentive to our pup's needs and personality. She was also very responsive to texts and sent many pictures and videos throughout the stay. We will definitely look to have her care for our pup in the future!

Annie our yellow lab just finished a wonderful stay with Judith while we were in Alaska over Christmas. We were so thrilled with the care and love from Judith and her family. We received lots of photos while we were away and they showed that Annie was thoroughly well looked after and really enjoying herself. We are so grateful. Many thanks Judith.

Jess was amazing! She made us feel comfortable right away and was extremely responsive over text. She sent us fun pictures throughout the day and overall was very professional and thoughtful. Will be using her services again for sure! Also her pup Winnie is adorable!

We were so worried to leave our kittens for the first time when we had to travel for an event. Darline was absolutely amazing. She took great care of them, provided regular updates and photos so we knew they were well cared for, and even gave us the flexibility and peace of mind when flight delays caused us to be over 6 hours late to pick them. Great experience and came home to two very happy kitties. Highly recommend Darline!
