“We had a wonderful experience! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos—they kept us informed and reassured that our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear our dog received lots of attention and affection throughout the stay. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Yasmine was great to work with. She was in communication. Pick up and drop off were easy and straight forward. Cocoa seemed very happy and well taken care of.”
About: I have one dog and have fostered over a dozen others, including various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience working with super energetic dogs and reactive dogs and love training! I am home for the summer, and I am available all day, because I am working from home! My schedule is very flexible so let me know what works best for you :). Safety is always my number one priority. I have lots of experience reading animal behavior. Please tell me what I should know about your pets or before coming to your home, and if there are any precautions you would like me to take in order to keep your pets happy and healthy! I will always keep dogs on leash, and keep water and treats with me. Will send updates and picture/videos too!
About: I’m a proud dog parent to my 4-year-old dog, Simba, so I have firsthand experience with the daily care, attention, and love that dogs need. Caring for Simba has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, regular walks, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for your pet with the same love, attention, and responsibility that I give Simba. 🐾❤️ I stay at home mom so I can give full attention, follow routines and take out for walks. we also have a yard where dogs can play I have a fenced yard, and a friendly goldendoodle who can give your dog company. My goal is to help every pet feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while their family is away.
“Vanessa was great - our first time leaving our 8 year old terrier mix with her and we felt totally comfortable and at peace the whole time. From meeting Vanessa you can tell she’s extremely processional, knowledgeable, and compassionate; asking all the right questions to ensure the best stay for your pet and the easiest time away for you. She sent plenty of pictures and provided updates over the course of her stay. Our dog even shamelessly got right into bed and snuggled with Vanessa all night 😂 We will definitely reach out to Vanessa again!”
“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”
“We recently left our Cavapoo, Elsa, with Oscar and Gaelle for almost a month, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! This was our first time leaving Elsa with someone else, and they made us feel so at ease. Oscar and Gaelle absolutely spoiled Elsa with toys, attention, and care. They kept us updated with regular videos, and it was clear Elsa was having a great time with plenty of walks and playtime. Elsa also loved the company of their dog, Caline, and it was heartwarming to see them bond. The care and attention they gave Elsa went above and beyond—her fur was beautifully brushed, and they even gave her a shower! We felt completely at peace knowing Elsa was in such loving hands. We would 100% trust them with Elsa again and highly recommend them to any pet parent looking for a reliable and caring boarder. Thank you, Oscar and Gaelle!”
“Shuhua is very caring and takes good care of my dog. She is responsive and considerate- she always sent the photos of my dog to keep me updated. I recommend her.”
“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”
“Lorena was great with our little puppy! She gave lots of updates and was very patient when he had a few accidents indoors! Would absolutely trust her again!”
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
“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 dog had THE BEST weekend at Kira's house! Kona fell in love with the humans and the other dogs that were there, and Kira sent us great photo updates along the way. After we picked Kona up from Kira's house, she was clearly happy and exhausted from so much play time. At 7pm, she had turned in for the night. A tired dog is a happy dog!”
“Erin sent incredible photos and took great care of our dog! They had so much fun walking, playing, and eating treats that it was like a vacation for our dog too. I would absolutely rebook with her in the future.”
“Kermit stayed for 4 nights and 5 days, and the experience was completely stress-free! Stephen kept in touch with us every day, sending updates and adorable pictures of Kermit. Whenever my kids asked about him, I could show them exactly what he was doing, which really helped ease their worries. It gave all of us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup, Reese, absolutely adored Maggie and had a great stay! Maggie was amazing with Reese, so patient with her picky eating style and getting dirty at the park. She also paired our pup with another sweet dog who was staying with her, so they had a nice doggy hangout all weekend. Highly recommend!”
“Tyler is a terrific person to leave your dog with. He communicates during the stay, is east to get in touch with, and of course has a very positive relationship with your dog. He enjoys them. I would leave my dog with him and feel very secure he would be in a friendly, safe place.”

Zarah is very attentive to my dog Wolfie. He’s got some real separation anxiety, and that in turn gives me anxiety when I have to find a new sitter. Zarah wanted to learn about all the little things she could do to make Wolfie feel safe and at home while staying with her. She even set up a Google form to fill out to learn more detail about wolfie’s behavior and preferences before we did our meet and greet, where I quickly felt great about booking with her. Her dog honey is very sweet! Highly recommend.
Meg was so amazing caring for my cat Dumpling!! I was in between apartments moving from NYC to Boston over Labor Day weekend, and I am so thankful to have found Meg to house Dumpling for a few weeks. She was so communicative and sent me lots of pictures! Super flexible for pickup and drop off and provided the best care for Dumpling during a stressful time! I will absolutely be using her again in the future!!
Jing was communicative and so friendly. I received regular updates and was not concerned about Lola at all making our time away very relaxing. She even made accommodations for alternate drop off and pick up sites due to road closures caused by construction. I would absolutely book again.
Our dog Breezy seemed to enjoy her stay and we’d book with Tauryn again! She was a good communicator, followed our instructions, and she sent photos each day. From the initial visit, Breezy seemed comfortable with her and her house, which doesn’t happen with all new people.
Natalie was absolutely amazing with Leo and Nala! From the very beginning, she was so intentional during our meet and greet and took the time to really get to know both of them, their personalities, and what they needed before we even handed them over to her. That meant so much to us and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Throughout their stay, Natalie sent plenty of updates and kept me in the loop, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of, and she is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. We truly have nothing but great things to say about Natalie. Leo and Nala were so well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. We will absolutely be rebooking with her!
ARIANNA ROCKS!!!! Not only did she renewed my faith in Rover again after having two bad experiences with sitters who confirmed and then ghosted me, but the way she and her family cared for my Pepper was PRICELESS!!! Pepper IMMEDIATELY gravitated to her and the family! THANK YOU for making Pepper feel like family! She even misses her son, who cried as Pepper left which made me get emotional! Don’t worry, Pepper will be back VERY SOON!! 5 STARS AND A MILLION THUMBS UP!!!
Aly is wonderful as always. She and her adorable daughter took great care of our cat while we traveled for over three weeks. Knowing that our cat is in caring hands gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. Plus, Aly always goes above and beyond. She even made extra trips to our house and when she discovered that our refrigerator had broken, she emptied it and prevented a bigger mess. We can’t thank her enough.
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

There are 4,265 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.

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.
