“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.”
“Abigail is wonderful. She is kind, considerate and definitely dog approved, our fluff ball Leo loves her! She is very communicative so you can be at ease while away from your fur child and an excellent dog photographer! At least the pictures she sends make it look like she is. I would very highly recommend her.”
“10000000/5! This was a phenomenal experience for both me and my pet to the point that she didn’t wanna come home lol! Linyan went above and beyond to make sure pebbles was well taken care of and sent PLENTY of pictures and videos. She was phenomenal and I didn’t have to worry about pebbles comfort ability or safety once throughout the day. she also knows that pebble is a high energy dog and walked her the appropriate amount of time even in this cold out of control!!!.”
“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.”
“Camey was a lifesaver for us when it came to puppy care. I needed someone to watch our 7-month-old puppy post-spay operation, as she could not attend daycare for two weeks. I had a sitter lined up, but the morning I went to drop off Bella, the sitter never showed up to get her or did not pick up calls. I had to go call out of work, take Bella home, and begin a new search. Camey was responsive, flexible, and willing to watch Bella starting that day! She was attentive to Bella's care, and her kindness was apparent from the first meeting. We were so lucky to have found her, and I highly recommend Camey!”
“Patricia took great care of Rosco, our 1 year-old Boston Terrier! He was treated well, had so much fun, was able to run and play in the backyard - and we have plenty of pics to document it all! :) Thanks Patricia!”
“Thai was great and able to step in when our sitter canceled last minute. Thai was thorough and asked great questions to make sure this was a good fit for my dog Max. Max had a great time; would def have Thai watch him again!”
“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!”

“Jane was awesome and Bento loved his stay. Jane was a great communicator and sent lots of photo and video updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend.”
“Melissa is amazing! I know I can always count on her. She is attentive and puts her heart taking care of Cooper. When he stays with her he is always well taken care.”
“Michelle saved us in a pinch and we're so glad we found her! We just moved to the area and needed someone to watch our 2 dogs while movers brought our stuff into our new home. Michelle graciously agreed to take them for the day. Her great communication skills via text while we coordinated for our dogs' care gave me a lot of confidence that she knew what she was doing and was very detail oriented. We were not disappointed! She gave us frequent updates and photos throughout the day and kept our mind at ease that our dogs were having a fun day while we dealt with the craziness of our move. This is the first time we've agreed to book so quickly with a new sitter and without first doing a meet and greet, and we're so happy we found Michelle in our new neighborhood. We've lived in multiple cities and have had a lot of dog sitters over the years (our dogs are almost 12 and 13). Michelle is definitely one of the best we've had in terms of communication and attention to detail. I highly recommend her!”
“Iyana is so great! She's super friendly and communicative and our Mel took to her so quickly! She's a great host for doggy day care as her place is quiet and she works from home. Will definitely be using her more in the future!”

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.
