“Everything went great with the drop-in! Tiffany was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dog by giving him a bathroom break, spending time with him, and making sure he was fed. I appreciated knowing he was in good hands and would definitely book with Tiffany again!”

“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Natalya took care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend. From my first interaction with Natalya, she was warm, responsive and responsible. Every interaction thereafter confirmed these impressions. Our cat took to her immediately when she first came in for an introduction - not something he does easily with most people (usually just hides). While we were away, Natalya sent photos and updates during her drop in visits. She definitely put our mind at ease that our cat was in good hands and being taken care of. I highly recommend Natalya and would not hesitate to use her services again.”

About: I grew up with dogs! I have experience with senior dogs and those that are sick or post-op. I also work well with high- (and low) energy dogs! I am also usually the go-to for boarding among my friends and family! 😎 Because I work an in-person 9-5 in the city, my availability are as follows: BOARDING: unfortunately only on weekends :( WALKS/DROP-INS: after 6pm on weekdays but anytime on weekends HOUSE SITTING: always available :) For boarding, I have plenty of space in my home for your fur baby(s)! I can easily crate them if needed. As I recently moved, I had to leave my fur babies behind with my family back home so it won’t be a worry if your fur babies don’t get along with other dogs :) For house-sitting/drop-in visits, anything you and your fur baby’s needs!

“Rachel is a wonderful dogwalker! I have a shy rescue chihuahua mix named Benny. Despite typically being slow to open up to new people, he is clearly obsessed with Rachel and has gained a lot of confidence since walking with her and the other dogs. I would recommend Rachel to anyone and hope to continue to have her work with Benny in the future. Thanks Rachel!!”

“Blu is the best. She mainly does dogs, but also does cats - and her love for them is clear. She's responsible , caring, and positive... and has an incredible memory for details of things to do to look after them (last time we did key drop-off I met her outside and she recited our list of instructions from memory!). You will definitely want to work with her as a repeat customer. We love her!”

About: When I was a young boy, I was terrified of dogs due to a negative experience when one bit me in the face. However, everything changed when I met my partner, who had a large dog named Bentley. Bentley was gentle, caring, and loving. He helped me overcome my fear of dogs. In return for all the help he gave me, I took care of Bentley until his very difficult last days. I have experience in pet care, specializing in providing loving care for senior dogs and foster dogs with special needs. I have managed post-surgery care, rehabilitation, and medication administration, ensuring each pet's health and comfort. My skills include handling dogs with behavior issues, potty training, walking and crate training. I am dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I work from home, your dog will be supervised 24/7 while in my care. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable in my home. Your dog will be walked in a leash and supervised though the duration of the walk. Your doggo will receive plenty of play time and attention. Plenty of toys to play with and share. I always keep fresh water available. If going on walks, I always make sure leashes and harness are in good working condition. Let me know if your dog is reactive or needs any special behavioral help. I have a French Bulldog that will keep your dog company as well.

About: I usually work with shy, aggressive or fearful dogs or cats. It can take weeks, months or years to befriend them but when you do it's extremely rewarding, especially when an animal someone deems "dangerous" comes out to be the biggest sweetheart. I have tons of patience and I believe every species of animal deserves love and respect. As humans, it's our duty to be the voices and guardians of the animals in our care. They look to us for comfort, guidance, love and peace. That's why I do anything in my power to donate or volunteer at animal shelters because every animal should know that there's humans out there that actually care about their well being. Working with animals is a great career for me. Update; 8/2020 I’ve been volunteering and working with pets as a professional pet care provider for five years now. Through my journey I’ve learned pet CPR and gained dog training knowledge through Poochpals llc as well as worked as a dog handler at walterspetstyles. I’m currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and furthering my knowledge on Pet care. At Poochpals we believe in being a friend for life so I’m definitely bringing our motto into the field and looking to become a furever friend for your pets. If you’re ever in need of an actual PROFESSIONAL pet care provider, look no further! I also have basic training knowledge so don’t be surprised if your pup or cat comes back knowing a few new tricks 😂 I have open availability Monday-Sunday. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My dog, Odin, loves to make new friends of all species. Updates:4/7/2026 Hello friends! I would not be at 29 Hanford anymore due to instability, so I’m moving my business down to NYC before heading to PA. We have multiple fences in house and around the property. Pups are also supervised 24/7 and we have a designated dog room just for them. Back porch is also secured with gates. Dogs aren’t allowed on the lawn without human supervision and a 20ft leash. Lawn is fenced. We have strict safety procedures when it comes down to pets and children.

About: I've been surrounded by cats and dogs since childhood, fostering a deep love and understanding of these furry companions. Now I offer professional pet sitting and dog walking services, leveraging my lifelong connection with animals. Trustworthy, compassionate and attentive. I'm here to provide the best care for your beloved pets! Caring for pets in clients' homes fits well into my flexible daily or weekly routine since I'm currently not working a regular job and instead take on more day-to-day tasks. This flexibility allows me to provide pet care at times that suit the clients' needs, whether it's on specific days or at varying times throughout the week. With my current availability, I can easily accommodate clients' schedules and provide care for their pets whenever necessary. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I start with an initial consultation to learn about the pets' needs, habits, and preferences. Then, I provide regular feeding, grooming, and exercise at scheduled times. Additionally, I can assist with other household tasks to ensure everything is in order for when clients return home. Focusing on reliability, attention to detail, and care, I strive to provide the best service possible while caring for pets in clients' homes.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Roxbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Roxbury is $37 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 26,983 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Roxbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
