“My Bonny took to her right away, and my anxious girl can sometimes be selective. Avary did so well with my velcro dog (doesn't like to leave mama) and took her on a great walk! Will def be booking again!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my entire life, providing feeding, playtime, and companionship. Friends and family trust me to care for their pets while they travel. Growing up in a village, I developed a natural bond with animals. I also received training on large dog breeds during my studies. I have a flexible schedule since I work from home and run my own business. I attend school two days a week and work part-time, but I can adjust my availability to fit your pet’s needs. Just reach out, and we can find a suitable arrangement! I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment in my apartment, ensuring comfort and care for your pet. I offer home sitting and daycare, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and a stress-free experience. While I don’t stay at clients’ homes, I prioritize safety and trust, keeping your pet happy and well-cared for in my home.
“Katie was wonderful with my dog, Wednesday! She arrived right on time, kept me updated throughout the walk, and let me know about anything she encountered along the way. I really appreciated the photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind and showed that Wednesday was happy and well cared for. Katie was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about providing great service. I was extremely happy with the care she provided and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've quantitatively proven that dog is Mans' best friend. My pet sitting experiences have taught me how to care for senior dogs with illnesses, how to care for untrained dogs, as well as how to take care of the coats of double coated dogs(Siberian Huskies). I'm currently working part time from home, with flexible hours, which gives me the opportunity to take care of your loved ones! I'm currently staying in a suburban/residential area which provides quiet sidewalks and parks for enrichment. And for those pooches who love a good walk and the great outdoors, there are beaches and nature trails only 30 minutes away, where I'd be happy to take them, on leash of course! Flexible schedule makes me available to board and care for the dogs of your family whenever. I am located in a suburban area of Brooklyn, with options for on leash trail and beach walks for pooches that walk for multiple hours. I have a fenced yard with a auto closer. Also have a smart collar, which your dog could borrow for walks, to add an extra degree of security.
“Ketevan was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my pup, was very understanding of my preferences and really went above and beyond with her service. She also sent updates and responded to my messages promptly. I truly appreciate a sitter like her while I am away from my baby. Would definitely pick her again.”
“Ariella calmed my anxiety whether she knows it or not! Took care of my nearly 7 month old pup, Alf with confidence and care. Very much look forward for Ariella and Alf to hang out again!”
“Kadeisha is a lifesaver! We needed help last minute with our babies and usually have them in boarding, but never again - Kadeisha is our go-to from now on. She not only braved extreme cold weather without complaint, but our dogs loved her immediately. Our dogs are skittish of humans because of their past, but they felt comfortable with her right away. AND the pictures she takes are another level - our dogs look like models! 🤣 We can't wait to use her for boarding and daycare going forward.”
About: I have experience caring for my 10 year old german shepherd lab, who has a sensitive tummy. I've had him since he was 2 months old, so I am familiar with every stage of doghood! He's also a barker, so I know how to respond to lots of energy. I am currently pursuing pet-care as a full time gig, so I am generally available! I can take on animals that need more consistent care. Though I cannot bring pets home (my kitty isn't fond of new animal faces), I am prepared to take care of your baby however they need me! I am great at following feeding schedules and specific instructions of needed.
“It’s been amazing experience with Shannakae as a first time user of Rover. She is very caring and patient with our Cane Corso. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. Great with communication! Wow! We love that she looks out for our dog’s best interest by giving us any recommendations that make him feel more comfortable and safe. Our dogs fell in love with her right away. She takes care of Hachi as her own :) At first, I was a bit worried because we’ve never hired a dog walker through the app, but Shannakae gives us piece of mind. I would recommend hiring her anytime, hands down! We are extremely pleased and thankful for how well she takes care of Hachi. Your pet will be in good hands! She is very reliable, quick responsive and extremely friendly. Hachi adores her! We look forward to continuing working with you! :)”
About: Hey! When it comes to loving animals and letting them chill, I’m your person. I’ve taken care of my neighbor, coworker, family and friends’ pets! I love them all and they’ll love my apartment. I cannot wait to take care of yours. I’m a professional writer working from home so I’m in my apt during the day and can spend time looking after your pet and giving them attention if they wish! I have the bay right across the street from my home so if you’re in the area we might go on a walk around there! If the weather permits, we might even take a stroll to Manhattan Beach! I have a one bedroom apartment with an outdoor balcony and a high fence around it. There is lots of space indoors and out and no other pets live with me.
“Robert is very attentive and communicative. The setup and walking process with Robert was seamless and stress free and my dog is more relaxed on the days he gets walked by Robert. Thank you!”
“As a first time user of rover I was a little worried at first not knowing what to expect from the service. However, Brittany blew away all of my expectations! She did an outstanding job walking my dog while I was out of town for a funeral and quite last minute as well! I cannot say enough about how great the experience was. I highly recommend her and she will be my go-to from now on!!!”
“Erika G has become part of my pups extended family! She is very committed to the dogs and treats them so beautifully! I never worry when she is there in my place! You will not be disappointed with her in your pups life.”

I love being of real assistance to those in my community and getting to spend time with pets is always such a wonderful experience!

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
