“Erica is a fantastic sitter!! She made my senior pup Ruby feel comfortable and happy and sent me awesome detailed updates with adorable pics along the way :) Very grateful to have such a reliable, kind and responsible sitter in the area and can’t wait for Ruby to stay with her again soon! Thank you again!!”
“This is my 2nd time having my baby Bandit stay in her home. Sam is very helpful and she sends me a daily update. I always feel her love and care for my baby Bandit. Highly recommended!”
“Emerald was amazing with my Benji! I could tell that he really enjoyed spending time with her and I will definitely book again. I also loved that she kept me involved with Benji and what he was doing throughout the day. 10/10”
“Ziwei was so great with my puppy! I booked her last minute when I was in a bind and she jumped to the occasion. She constantly shared videos and pictures to let me know my baby was happy and safe.”
“Tiffany took excellent care of Cannoli during this past long weekend! Cannoli seemed to like and trust her right away and came back happy and relaxed. Tiffany was communicative and reliable throughout the experience from meet and greet to pickup. I would definitely ask her to care for Cannoli again and recommend her services!”
“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”
“This is my first time booking with Samantha and I definitely believe this is the start to a great relationship! I've been shopping around for a sitter that my pup feels truly comfortable with and not anxious to get away from, and Samantha provided a warm, welcoming, and fun environment. My Nala was so calm and at ease by the time I picked her up and that warmed my heart. Samantha was flexible and accommodating to some last minute changes to the schedule and even bought dog food because I had ran out right before my trip! What a doll! If you book with her, trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
“Anky is one of a kind, she's the best dog walker and sitter I've had the pleasure to work with by far. She has great attention to detail, puntuality, diligence and kindness. Most importantly you can tell immediatly she does love animals and truly enjoys taking care of dogs. The moment I left little Trufa with her I knew she would be in good hands. Couldn't recommend more!!”
“Thai is great- as always! He’s attentive, kind, patient, easy to communicate with, and very experienced with dogs. I trust him and feel very at ease knowing my dog is with him and being well looked after!”
“Megan is amazing! She took all three of my babies and treated them as her own. Her family babied my babies and she sent me daily updates and took them on walks. I picked up my babies and they were calm and happy. I have found my sitter for life!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! She was kind, reliable, and treated him like one of her own. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
“Ariella saved the day!!! She took such great care of my pup for the day when I needed some last minute dog boarding. So grateful for her help and would definitely book again!”
“Gavriel took amazing care of my dog for 5 days, and I couldn’t be happier. From the start, communication was clear and reassuring. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Gavriel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Shen is the best dog sitter we’ve ever booked. She communicated effectively and treated our pup as if he were her own child. We did not have to worry about anything. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Daniel is reliable, friendly, patient with our dog, and has helped us with last minute walks and boarding many times. Our dog is a rescue and is very anxious at baseline; he is very attentive to her mood and comfort level and we know she is safe on walks with Daniel. Highly recommend.”
“The very very BEST! Meilin was so helpful for us when we got stuck abroad during a snowstorm and kept our pup calm and snuggly for several extra days. A true life saver!”
“Hiroko and her daughter were great! Their communication, care, and understanding for Rolo’s needs was reassuring. Hiroko is organized as well & I appreciated the informative daily updates. I will be using her services again in the future & highly recommend.”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Roxbury
Erica is the Best. Sitter. Ever! She took amazing care of our ball obsessed one year old Lab puppy Junie over the holidays. Truly went above and beyond expectations and had a great understanding of our dog. Loved the amazing updates and incredible videos and photos of Junie playing with her new fur friends. We are planning to rebook in February when we are away next.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Roxbury home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Roxbury.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Roxbury sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
