“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn I provide dedicated pet care specializing in house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I have a completely open and flexible schedule right now, meaning your pets will get my undivided attention and companionship throughout the day. My background is as a Physical Therapist Aide, so I bring a natural level of care, patience, and physical attentiveness to every animal I watch. I am highly comfortable managing the physical mobility needs of senior dogs or pets recovering from injury. My professional pet-sitting journey started right here in Chelsea, where I spent three years caring for a wonderful pair of resident cats. Since then, I’ve expanded my experience to include multi-pet households, most recently spending just under a year caring for a unique duo: an adorable kitten and a sweet senior dog. Between long-term clients, I regularly step in to watch dogs for close friends, making me highly adaptable to different routines and energy levels. Whether your pet is a high-energy walker, a playful kitten, or a senior dog needing gentle companionship, I know how to keep them safe and happy. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. You can expect frequent photo updates and peace of mind while you are away ! As a full-time pet care provider with a completely open schedule, your pets are my top priority. I recently left a demanding healthcare role to focus entirely on my passion for animal care and personal wellness. My only daily commitments are my own workouts at the gym, which I easily schedule around your pet's needs. Since I do not have a traditional 9-to-5 job, I can offer total flexibility for midday walks, specific medication times, and extended companionship during overnight stays. Your pet will never be an afterthought, they will be the central focus of my day. I provide pet care exclusively in the comfort of your own home, where your pets already feel safe and secure. My care philosophy is entirely client-centered and pet-led. I take the time to learn your furry friend's exact likes, dislikes, and unique quirks right away. Rather than forcing a new routine, I seamlessly blend myself into their established schedule. By letting your pet take the lead and set the pace, I build trust naturally and ensure they feel completely comfortable and stress-free while you are away.

Tori was a wonderful cat sitter!! Our cat Kenji felt comfortable with her immediately and she regularly kept us updated on how he was doing, which we appreciated since we are super attached to him!! We are glad Tori stayed with him because he is quite clingy and we know she gave him all the love he needed, Would definitely recommend Tori to watch your cat!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Roxbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 18,592 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roxbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Roxbury walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Roxbury maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Roxbury choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roxbury. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
