“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”
“Phillipa is an amazing dogsitter! She took Kona on so many long walks and sent tons of pics daily. Kona is a bit shy at first and sometimes nips at strangers out of distrust but Phillipa handled her with so much love and care. I can tell Kona trusted her and enjoyed being in her home. Would love to book with her again!”
“Kayla watched our dog for a long weekend, and was incredibly flexible and attentive to our needs. She took great care of our dog, who had a lovely time in her backyard all weekend. She was very communicative and gave us many updates. We had a few special requests, as our dog is dog reactive, and she really listened to us. I would recommend her to anyone! We'll definitely rebook again.”
“Michelle took great care of our high maintenance English bulldog while we were away for a week! Due to his breed, he requires quite a bit of extra attention and Michelle went above and beyond!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that Edna was with great people. Will certainly ask them to watch Edna again in future. Also enjoyed the daily updates.”
“Paige is wonderful! Our sweet, shy 11-year-old Shiba Inu took to her immediately and had a great time. We’re so happy to have found a place for Takara to stay when we travel.”
“Nicholas is always well cared for by Drew, and loves being with Nahla and Stella. Drew cares for Nicholas as if he were his own. Provides loving attention and nice long walks. Thank you, Drew.”
“Zoe was fabulous. I was in a jam last minute to find a sitter and she responded right away and was able to watch my dog for 4 days while I was away on vacation. I was nervous that my dog would not respond well to her larger dog, but her dog was so gentle with mine, they were able to be together in the yard and in the house, no problems.”
“Su is the absolute best! We had him care for our 10 year old Husky for 2 weeks and he was so great about updates, walks, food, treats, and play time. We also couldn’t pick him up on the scheduled date and Su was so helpful and flexible to keep him an extra night. We are so grateful and highly recommend Su. We look forward to the future stays!”
“Jing has great communication! She was great with my elderly dog and gave her her medicine when needed. My dog looked happy the entire time and was in a great mood afterwards!”
“Lyn was so kind to our two little dogs. It was the first time in 8 years that they were with a new sitter. We were moving so our dogs were already apprehensive with packing. Her calm, gentle and super competent demeanor was exactly what we were looking for. Lyn sent photos daily so we could see how our dogs were doing. Highly recommend her!”
“Mack and Alesia were outstanding! Our dog unexpectedly had some eye trouble and had to go to the Vet. They went above and beyond to make sure our dog got great care and kept us in the loop the whole time. You won't find better dog sitters then them!”
“I haven’t used Rover in awhile as I started traveling with my pug Captain...but for a recent quick trip I decided it was worth it. I saw Ben’s profile and thought he seemed like a great fit to watch Captain. Ben and his girlfriend loved watching Captain and raved about their time with him. I could tell Captain also enjoyed himself! Ben was also very responsive and accommodated my schedule for pick up/drop off. I’d definitely use Ben as our dog sitter for our next trip!”
About: Hi there! I’m Marilyn, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two pups of my own ♥️ Because my dogs struggle with separation anxiety, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for your pet while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and I genuinely believe pets deserve love, attention, and care. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence around, I’m happy to follow their routine and your preferences. I work from home most of the time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day and allows me to be responsive and reliable. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of communication so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away 🐾 I work from home 90% of the time and have lots of flexibility during the day. I can give advance notice on days I’m not physically available. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that’s familiar to them. When caring for pets in their home, I try to follow their established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention! 😊 As a pet owner myself, I understand how important communication is, so I am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Connie was great - communicative, accommodating and so sweet. Honey had a great time with her and her two pups. She loved the huge fenced in yard and we loved getting pictures and updates during her stay.”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“Joe is a grade A human being who did a great job watching my pooch. He was extremely responsive throughout the trip and sent me updates of JB over the course of his stay. His dog, Dodger is very accommodating as well. If you live in the Highlands area, you can feel completely confident in letting Joe watch over your 4-legged family member. Cheers!”
“Natasha created a home away from home for my rat terrier mix and I am so grateful for her grace filled kindness. I can trust that my pup will receive the most attentive care and will without doubt book with her again.”
“Lauren (+Matt) are incredible! Super warm, patient, and communicative, and helped me with an urgent request when my plans fell through. Remy had the best time, she can’t wait to go back!”
“It was great having Sirius stay with Winn again! Sirius was so excited when he got back to Winn's place. As always Winn is super easy to coordinate and communicate with, and Sirius looked like he had a great time hanging out!”

Ayanna was great! I needed a dogsitter on short notice and she replied very quickly and helped me out of a pinch. She's in a great location with a big park right near by! My pup was well cared for and very happy. She sent some pictures and updates even for a really short stay
Casey took excellent care of our dog Odin and is fantastic with communication! She’s quick to respond and flexible with scheduling. She’s very attentive and proactive about understanding Odin’s needs and personality. Odin loved Casey right away and he definitely made a new friend! I would absolutely recommend Casey to anyone looking for a sitter who is professional and will care for your dog like their own.
Sheila and her fiancé took great care of Winnie, we really appreciated the daily photos and videos of Winnie while we were away, it made us feel good knowing Winnie was in great hands and that she was not just taken care of but played with a lot- which she loves. Sheila met with us before a trip we planned earlier this year, and we had to cancel our plans- but later she also accommodated us on a short notice trip which was also so incredibly nice. We appreciate her flexibility and understanding and would love to have her watch Winnie again.
Zoe was fabulous. I was in a jam last minute to find a sitter and she responded right away and was able to watch my dog for 4 days while I was away on vacation. I was nervous that my dog would not respond well to her larger dog, but her dog was so gentle with mine, they were able to be together in the yard and in the house, no problems.
Our pup had a great stay and came home happy. Dana was easy to communicate with and was happy to have a meet and greet prior to boarding. Our pup can be hesitant with other dogs and Dana was able to facilitate her mixing with the other dogs without issue. We would recommend Dana to friends.
We could not be happier with our experience. She is an absolute gem of a dog sitter who took such incredible care of Coco—probably even better than we do! Her communication was exceptional throughout the stay, keeping us informed and reassured every step of the way. She constantly went above and beyond, and it is instantly clear just how much she truly loves animals. We feel so fortunate to have found her and will definitely be booking many more stays for Coco in the near future. You simply can't go wrong booking with her!
Emily was absolutely wonderful! Very responsive, reliable, and took such great care of my cat while I was away. She kept me updated throughout with lots of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter!
Sunil was quick to respond when we had another sitter suddenly cancel. She has taken very special care of our pup as she has recovered from a string inflamation. We were worried to leave her for a trip we could t cancel and we felt very relieved to leave her with Sunil. She sent us videos and photos everyday and you can clearly tell she is carefully taking care and listening to Escarcha. She went above and beyond.
I’d give Su 100 stars if I could! My two dogs stayed with him while I was visiting my sister, and he took such good care of them and provided detailed updates with information and photos about how they were doing. They loved utilizing his fully fenced backyard and going for walks with him. I had full peace of mind when they were with him, and couldn’t recommend him more!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in West Roxbury on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,333 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Roxbury. About 90% of West Roxbury sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.

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.
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 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.
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 .
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 MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
