“We are so grateful to have found Paul & Megan! From the meet & greet to Lilly's extensive 11 night stay, it was evident that Paul & Megan have a genuine care for dogs and treat them with love and individualized attention. The daily pictures and updates of Lilly's activites always brought a smile to our face and were reassuring that she was happy, safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend Paul & Megan and will definitely be using them whenever we need a sitter for Lilly.”
“Monica was great. We will be booking again! She is extremely communicative. We exchanged messages prior to dropping our dog off, she gave periodic updates during our dogs stay and she sent pictures.”
“Michelle was great! We dropped our pup off with her for a wedding night sleepover and before we knew it he was running around playing and didn’t even care that we left. She loves dogs and treated ours as if he was her own (feeding, walks, playtime, safety). She would’ve taken him to the beach the next morning but we had to pick him up early and drive back to NYC. We would 100% recommend her when you’re in the Kittery/Portsmouth area!”
“Michelle was great, boarding our large dog. Took care of him as family. Frequent walks, fenced yard. Photos throughout the day. Michelle demonstrates care and compassion for our pup.”
“Grogu so loved his stay with Suzanne. Had the best of walks in the woods nearby. Suzanne was so lovely and flexible to accommodate our last minutes request so we could enjoy a night out in Rockport.”
About: I have had my dog for over 9 years. She is very good with others. I have a fenced in backyard, and a doggy door of the screened porch. When we are home during the day in good temperatures, the door to the house will be open giving dogs the freedom of where they want to relax or play. I am currently a stay at home Mom to my wonderful twins therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule I can work around, especially if it avoids the kids naps. I have a fenced in backyard that is connected to the house via a screened in porch so there are many options of where to hang out. At night everyone is inside.
“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and cared for family and friends dogs for a very long time. Love having dogs in my life they bring so much joy. Everyday is an adventure in training, playing and lots of love and attention. Love to play fetch and taking long walks. Dog care is my number one priority everyday. I make sure I am available to provide consistency for your dog all day. I provide breaks, exercise, playtime and lots of love and attention. I have two labs of my own. They are very friendly and will love to play with your dog inside a roomy home and fenced in yard. My dogs are playful and love to make new friends and playmates.
“Carina was very easy to work with. She even had many of the items in her home already, like toys and food/water bowls. My dog came back super happy after his time with her. And the next time we booked her, he was even more excited to be back. She is very sweet, attentive and caring!”
About: Growing up, we always had a family cat or two and a dog, and I’ve always helped friends and family whenever they needed a pet sitter. I recently moved to the area with my husband and have a very flexible work-from-home schedule. I’m hoping to help out my neighbors by walking dogs who also live in the Siena apartment building! I have a very flexible schedule as I work from home full time. I can be available at most hours during the week and some weekends. I have no pets currently so my apartment is quiet! Perfect for a shy or older dog or cat. I’m comfortable also doing in home visits within the Siena apartments.
“Kat is a great doggo host. She is very knowledgeable about K9's and treated my pup like her own. She is very communicative, sends pictures while your pup is staying with her along with any updates on the shenanigans going on while staying with her. My dog assimilated well with her host pack and I would HIGHLY recommend her if you need daycare, training or boarding. Her energy is great & I enjoyed my time away knowing my dog was in EXCELLENT HANDS. Thanks again Kat!!!!!!!!”
“Chelsea was great with our 2 dogs! She listened and kept their schedules almost like home. She (and her partner) were great dog-sitters! She communicated quickly and kept us in the know on their stay. Ill use her again for sure!”
“Gabriel is excellent. My Leo is a Maltese, and Gabriel was very attentive to him. Gabriel kept me updated with photos and videos throughout Leo's stay. Furthermore, Gabriel was very reliable in responding to my texts, which gave me peace of mind. I recommend Gabriel 100%, and I would definitely book with him again.”
“Anne did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat. She sent photo updates about their activities and contacted me immediately when she had a concern. I would recommend Anne as a pet sitter. She is responsible and caring.”
About: My six-year-old bordoodle Harley is the love of my life, and caring for him has taught me so much about what dogs need to feel happy and secure. We trained him ourselves, taught him dozens of tricks and worked with him through service dog training. Our days together are full of long walks, playtime and plenty of hanging out, and I'd love to give your dog that same attention, patience and care while you're away. I work remotely, so I am available to give your pets lots of attention and love. I also walk my own dog three times a day so your pup could fit right into our routine. Pets in my home are treated with love and respect, with routines around meals, walks and play I make sure they have a great stay and fit right into the family. Also happy to do local walks, alongside my friendly boordoodle, Harley.
“Thank you Irene for taking such care of my dog Bentley! She was very responsive, sent updates, and my dog was immediately comfortable with her. She was very thoughtful and put me at complete ease while I had plans! Thank you so much and look forward to booking with Irene again.”
“Freddi took outstanding care of Penny!!! She has an idyllic setup for hosting and provided Penny a cozy and comfortable stay while we were out of town. We loved the photos Freddi sent every day - Penny was clearly right at home! Would definitely book again.”
“Joshua watched our two German Shepherds for a week while we went on vacation. It was the first time someone other than family watched our pets and we were very anxious about it. After our meet and greet at Joshua’s home we were immediately put at ease. While away Joshua sent us almost daily updates with photos so we could see how our dogs were doing. They were having the best time and enjoying a vacation of their own. One of our dogs required daily medications which was not a problem. We can’t thank Joshua enough for taking such great care of our pets and allowing us the ability to enjoy our vacation without worry. We highly recommend Joshua and will definitely have him watch our pets again in the future!”
“Andrea took great care of our beagle, Charlie, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I met Andrea and her husband Daniel, they gave off such a great vibe — genuinely kind, thoughtful, and clearly dog lovers through and through. Andrea treated Charlie like he was one of her own dogs, Cholo and Khloe, which gave me total peace of mind. She sent multiple photos throughout the day, including shots of Charlie snuggled up in a cozy blanket on the sofa and lounging in Daniel's lap while he watched football. It was obvious he felt safe, comfortable, and completely at home. You can just tell when people truly love dogs, and Andrea and her family absolutely do. Charlie was cared for with so much attention and affection, and we’re incredibly grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust Andrea with Charlie again — highly, highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newburyport
I appreciate the care Donna and Roland gave Toto during his stay. He’s a fussy eater and Donna took the time to work with him and researched his breed’s behavior around eating. Overall I’d say they are reliable and committed to giving small dogs a comfortable, entertaining stay.
We had a great experience with Donna and John! They took such great care of Riley while we were away in Spain, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. Donna kept us updated and sent us pictures/videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. Riley had an absolute blast! She got plenty of attention, walks, neck rubs, and even some fun play dates with the other dogs. It was so nice to hear how happy and comfortable she was during her stay. Donna and John were incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. Riley came home happy and clearly had a wonderful time. We would absolutely recommend Donna and John and will definitely reach out to them again the next time Riley needs a sitter. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️🐶
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Newburyport is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $68 per night. 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.
There are 2,351 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newburyport. About 89% of Newburyport 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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.
