“Doris is a super nice and responsible person. Very helpful and so caring. I’m so grateful to her for taking care so well of my baby. She always updates with photos and videos and I definitely know that my baby is in good hands.”
“We love Erica! Highly recommend. She’s amazing and loving and patient. We drive from Deerfield Beach to Aventura to drop off our puppy and I wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️”
“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”
“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Janis took great care of Freya and kept me updated through the day. She was able to sit for me on short notice and was awesome throughout the whole process. Thank you!”

“Ziwei was great! Mochi enjoyed his first daycare, and I appreciated her care. Leaving Mochi was nerve-wracking, but she made it smooth. She sent videos and pictures, easing my worries. I plan to use her services again.”
“Britt was absolutely wonderful with Tiny. She and her partner helped me out on short notice and Tiny clearly had a great time and was so well cared for (e.g., letting me know when Tiny didn’t seem to be drinking enough water, checking in after playtime, etc.). Highly highly recommend!”
“Erica is fantastic with Boston. She’s incredibly attentive and warm, and it puts me totally at ease seeing how calm and happy he is around her. I love the way she just takes care of the dogs. Thank you!”
“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”
“My pup didn’t skip a beat when she had to leave with Megan. I had full confidence she would be able to handle a large dog since they already own one. It was very reassuring sitting experience, and I got the updates I needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. Thanks guys!”
“She was really responsive and sent updates throughout the day. I felt really secure leaving my new puppy in her very capable hands. She’s also very kind and warm with them, which is super helpful.”

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 that’s where we’ll be walking! 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.
“My dog Daisy loves daycare with Rachel and her sweet pup Teddy. Very reliable and trustworthy. Home is super animal friendly with a spacious backyard”
“Absolutely stellar dog sitting experience! Shen, not only adheres to the pet's routine but goes above and beyond with meticulous attention to detail. From feeding schedules to playtime and walking preferences, every aspect is carefully accounted for. Highly impressed that she even has the whole schedule I provided listed on a sheet of paper. Felt at easing knowing my pup is staying in such exceptional care. Grateful for Shen and his husband who are both wonderful and loving people.”
About: Hi! NYC local here with a HUGE passion for animals. My family and I have been lucky enough to care for two Yorkies, two Pugs, a German Shepherd, a cat, a chinchilla, a guinea pig, a cockatoo, two parakeets, a turtle, a ball python, and finally, saltwater and freshwater aquariums with beautiful fishies and crayfish combined. With years of pet-loving experience, I love meeting, interacting, and playing with animals of all shapes and sizes. Having lived with so many different animals, I truly believe that each pet is its own individual with specialized needs. In nurturing my since passed nearly 18-year-old blind and deaf Lolita independently from just six years old, my huge soft spot for dogs was inevitable. From being around so many different breeds through my uncle's veterinarian business, I am also familiar with specific breed habits and the right approach to each one. I can assure you that I will always be patient and aware of their behavioral communication cues. I understand how difficult it is for you and your pup to be away from each other, so I always strive to meet your pet's every need. Working from home full-time, I have lots of flexibility for long walks and outdoor play which I thoroughly enjoy anyway. Your pet will feel right at home and you will get loads of pupdates with insta-worthy candids while you're away! I ensure your pet is treated just at home and very comfortable with any last-minute plans. Before confirming any jobs, I am also happy to meet with you and your pet if needed; just reach out c:

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Roxbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 11,246 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Roxbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Roxbury commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,246 sitters in Roxbury, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
