“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter and would absolutely book with her again! She took excellent care of my two dogs and was attentive, kind, gentle, and professional throughout the entire process. She followed all instructions carefully, kept me updated, and treated my dogs as if they were her own. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my pets were in such caring hands while I was away. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls! 🐾❤️”

About: I grew up with a dog for most of my life, and I have recently gotten a new puppy who is almost 1 years old now!

I recently began volunteering for walks at the Lucky Dog Refuge here in Stamford. I currently work full time 8-5 but available for anytime after 5. I am also available any time of day on most weekends as well! I will make sure your pup feels safe and happy when I enter your home. I will follow any and all instructions you may have for me!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. Our family shares our home with Kay, our friendly 40-pound Australian Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel mix. She is playful, social, and enjoys having other dogs around. Dogs in our care become part of our daily routine! We enjoy regular walks, trips to the park, and plenty of playtime. We typically take several walks throughout the day, including a morning walk, a longer afternoon outing, and an evening walk. We live in a dog-friendly building complex with access to a dog park, and we also have a spacious unfenced patio where dogs can relax and enjoy fresh air while supervised. We understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to make your pup feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We’d love to meet your dog and welcome them into our family! our routine is very dog friendly and consistent. We take our dog for 3-4 walk a day and would follow the same routine with your dog. Dogs are staying with us will be fed twice a day according to their usual schedule and will sleep in their own beds at night. On weekends we enjoy taking longer walks of up to an hour and go to our dog park at the community. Safety is our priority. Dogs are always supervised and kept securely leashed when outside, and we never allow dogs off leash outside the home. We keep potentially unsafe items out of reach and make sure the environment is comfortable

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.

About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages through walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’ve cared for my own two family dogs as well as pets for multiple families, so I’m comfortable stepping into different routines and environments. I also worked in an emergency veterinary clinic in an administrative role, where I was around a wide range of pet personalities and situations. That experience helped me better understand animal behavior, stress signals, and the importance of clear routines and communication between owners and caregivers. I’m reliable with following instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and administering medications when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. My approach is to match each pet’s energy—whether that means calm companionship or active play—while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel at ease until you return. My schedule is built around a full-time job, working Monday through Friday from 7–4. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and have the most flexibility on weekends. I can occasionally do midday check-ins depending on my workday, and I’m open to walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m reliable and do my best to accommodate requests with some advance notice. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care that fits smoothly into both my schedule and your pet’s routine. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in the client’s home. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care guidelines to keep pets consistent and comfortable. I’m respectful of the home and make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and as I found it. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and leashes during walks and visits to ensure pets are always safe. My approach is calm and attentive so pets feel at ease while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a baby and have cared for friends dogs as well. I love them so much! All breeds and sizes My schedule changes from time to time since I am currently waitressing as I look for my next full-time position. This is helpful as I have open afternoons and mornings quite often. I live and take care of my grandmother in a gated community. Great for walks and is very clean and quiet. There are plenty of owners who walk their dogs around. Can be avoided if your dog doesn’t like others!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, with experience caring for breeds of all sizes. I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs and have been comfortable handling and caring for them from a young age. Additionally, I have experience house-sitting and providing care for dogs belonging to coworkers, friends, and family members. My lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs allow me to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every dog I look after. I am currently playing junior hockey, with practices scheduled Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I am fully available to provide attentive and reliable care for your dogs. My availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays varies depending on my hockey schedule, but I am happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while giving each dog plenty of attention, affection, and exercise suited to their needs. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated on how their pets are doing for added peace of mind.

About: Dogs are my world! I care for five of my own, groom, train, and teach tricks. I love dog sitting for friends and family, making sure every pup gets playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love. From wiggly puppies to wise seniors, I keep tails wagging and spirits high! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I care for my own dogs every day through feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and basic training. I also regularly dog sit for family , so I’m used to planning my schedule around pets and making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care. The pups I watch will have their own cozy space in my room with a fun playpen and lots of toys! They’ll get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. My own dogs stay downstairs, but if the owner is okay, their pup can safely hang out and play with my friendly fur babies. Every dog gets a happy, safe, and tail-wagging environment while in my care!

Alexandra did a wonderful job of taking care of our furry family of three cats (one elder, one 2-year-old, and one kitten) while we were away for two weeks. She sent us lots of great pictures every day, and when we got back the cats were more playful than before our trip, because of all of the playing they got with Alexandra.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Roxbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Roxbury is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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.

As of October 2026, there are 10,732 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Roxbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
