“We felt really comfortable leaving our skittish boy, Dingo, with Mike and Linda once we met them and saw that he was going to be doted on! We got almost daily pics and didn’t worry about a thing while we were on vacation. Dingo was reportedly loved by their grandchildren too over their Easter Sunday dinner so we weren’t too sure he’d even want to come back home with us but he did!! Highly recommend Mike & Linda! 🩷”
“I looked many hours for the right family to leave our Westie, Piper, with during a trip to Europe. When I met Donna and Roland at their home in Newbury, I felt so good about their experienced background with dogs. They advertised that they would allow a small dog to sleep in their bed which is what Piper is use to so this was another perk for Piper. Their home is very dog friendly and I loved the way they decorated it, inside and outside. Piper needed some extra meds while we were away and they followed all the instructions for her. When we picked her up, she was very relaxed and we knew she had a good vacation away from home. (Previously, we had people stay with her at our home.) She got to visit with another dog and a cat that lives with Donna and Roland, walked places that she had never walked before with Roland and was lovingly cared for by them. It was so good to see her so happy and content when we arrived to take her home. We will continue to book with Donna from now on and are so grateful for people like them who love her as we do. A+ to a wonderful care-free experience !!!”
“Felicia was great, she sent a lot of updates through the day and was very responsive. We felt very assured that Cappy would be well looked after and he was”
“Stella loved her stay with Denise. Denise sent me photos and updates on Stella. I would definitely recommend Denise to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby while away. It’s important to know they are being well cared for, and Stella was. We will use Denise again in the future for our pet sitting needs 🐶”
“Kathy really helped us over Thanksgiving as our dog had to start taking heart medicines . Kathy was awesome and cared for Oreo like she was her own dog! She even sent us videos of Oreo playing and having fun.”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“Bob was, as always, super accommodating to our schedule. Ruby gets so excited when I drop her off. I think she knows she's going on her own vacation and will get to spend a few days with one of her favorite humans, and his fun little pups.”
“Kristen was amazing, she gave me daily updates on my fur baby. Galaxy felt very comfortable in thier home and I will 100% reccommend their services. Grateful to find a local family that truely cares about dogs and thier well being.”
“Sylwia was wonderful, met Alice ahead of time. Alice loved the whole family, River and Deshi included! Had a blast and was reluctant to leave Sylwia. Cannot thank and recommend her enough, definitely will be rebooking!”
“Laura is an awesome host. We went for a vacation and with her experience and loving nature I blindly trusted her to take care of my two dogs. Moxxi and Chomsky seemed so happy in her house. Thanks Laura:)”
“We were very happy with Beatriz. Our dog came home happy and healthy, and Beatriz sent updates and pictures throughout the week. Her backyard space was huge and great for exercising our dog.”
“Rosalynn and Angel were absolutely wonderful with my old dog. They did a great job of communicating while I was away and my girl came home happy. I will definitely be using them again in the future! So nice to know a trusted sitter in the area.”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”
“Lindsay was amazing. Our dog had a great time with Lindsay, her family and her dog Tilly, who happened to match our dog's size and energy level perfectly. Lindsay sent us multiple photos during our dog's stay. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Rose cared for my Cairn terrier when my usual sitter was unavailable on short notice. She was attentive and responsive, sending updates and photos frequently during our long weekend away. You can tell she really enjoys dogs and makes an effort to make them feel comfortable in her home.”
“Our dog Mazy is 14 so we are nervous leaving her with someone new. We are so lucky to have found Elizabeth because she is kind, responsible and caring. She sent updates and made us feel so comfortable. Mazy loved staying with her! Thank you Elizabeth!!!!”
“Krystyna & Sara are AWESOME!! If you have a dog that needs to board somewhere, you don't have to second guess leaving it with these two great hosts!! My pup was EXHAUSTED after picking him up, the house dog Bernie, did a great job matching Whiskey's energy and wore him out. He's still catching up on his sleep the next day! LOL. We even found out that he's good with cats! I will be boarding my dog there again next month. A++++++. experience.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newburyport
Kathy took wonderful care of my dog, Blueberry, while I was traveling. I loved receiving videos of Blueberry playing and making new friends—it truly looked like she was having the best time at doggie camp! Kathy has a nice fenced yard where the dogs can play safely, and the cool indoor temperature was especially important for keeping a corgi comfortable. The drop-off and pick-up process was easy, and I really appreciated Kathy’s quick communication and fast response time. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that Blueberry was happy, well cared for, and genuinely loved her time at Kathy’s home. I would happily recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
So thankful to Donna and John for taking such excellent care of our dog while we were away. It can be very challenging to find boarding suitable for her due to her being dog-aggressive, but Donna and John willingly accepted her as their only client for the weekend and made us feel so comfortable knowing she was going to be in such good hands!
Rose did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Calvin! From the moment we dropped him off, she made us feel completely at ease. She sent regular updates, photos, and check ins to let us know how he was doing, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Calvin felt comfortable and loved in her care. He looked so happy in every picture!
I’m delighted to recommend Linda as a wonderful dog sitter. She cared for our dog with such genuine affection and responsibility that we were completely at ease while away. From the start, Linda took the time to get to know our dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks. She made sure our dog was not only well-fed and exercised but also loved and entertained. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear that Linda truly loves animals and treats them like family. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly bonded with her —the best sign of all! I would wholeheartedly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Newburyport sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Newburyport landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newburyport home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Newburyport.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Newburyport sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
