About: As a pet owner and part-time sitter, I have plenty of experience with dogs, cats, and reptiles alike! I’m familiar with and comfortable caring for a variety of breeds, big and small. I currently work part-time mornings, leaving me available most afternoons to do pet care! I tend to be available past 2pm throughout the week. I tailor my drop-in visits to each pet’s individual needs, ensuring every animal is cared for to the fullest. This can include feeding and watering, administering certain medications, potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, or playtime!
About: Hi! I’m Dusty — full-time dog lover, part-time treat dispenser, and your pup’s next favorite human. I share my home (and heart) with two Australian Cattle Dogs: Leia the bossy big sister and Griff the chaotic little brother. They keep me on my toes and have trained me quite well in the art of fetch, belly rubs, and spotting squirrels from 300 yards. Whether your dog needs a cozy place to stay, a midday stroll, or just someone who understands that “zoomies” are a way of life — I’ve got you covered. I’m experienced, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my pack (yes, baby talk included). Let’s make some tails wag! Growing up, I fostered senior dogs, walked pups for elderly neighbors, and even cared for a retired military K9 until he was reunited with his handler — so your dog is in good hands, and likely good company too. I’m currently working full-time 40 hours during the week. I have time after 6 PM during the week and all day during the weekend. Preferably early mornings. I want to make sure every animal I care for is comfortable And get to know their personality and what they enjoy so it can be an enriching experience for them and not stressful.
About: I love my pets so much and I love to see them with other pets (my spouse won’t let me get anymore) so yes this is the meeting ground for that :). Your kids are my kids and I will love them so much like my own :)) I keep my pets on a schedule and know how to treat them if they give signs of any sickness I have gone through it and know all the remedies to help. I love playing with my fur babies and having them fur baby friends. I also like to take my fur babies on walks even my cats in a cat backpack so they can see the world. My home has a pet room near a window so they can see outside (they love this) and they can sleep by the window on a comfortable bed (SPOILED). I keep toys in their room and I also have a cat tree for my catsss
About: As an experienced pet sitter trusted by family and friends, I provide attentive care for cats and dogs. With a natural bond that animals love, I bring the same affection to my two pets at home. I have plenty of time. Available 3 to 4 days a week and weekends. Opportunities for overnight, evening and mornings are open. Walking and play time. I can come to your home for your loved ones can feel comfortable and safe. I do have a dog that’s very friendly and loves visitors if that works for you too.
“So glad we found Hailey! Hailey is communicative, thoughtful, and conscientious, and she took amazing care of our kitties while we were gone. She was a natural interacting with our shy cats. Hailey provided charming updates and photos that made us smile every day we were away. Our cats and our home were in wonderful hands with Hailey and we'll be booking with her for future trips! Thanks so much, Hailey!”

“Tori has been such a pleasure to work with and took great care of our cats! She sent pictures everyday and updated us on anything we needed to know with them and our house while we were out of town. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have cared for animals of all sorts. I grew up having dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and even a hermit crab. I love getting to know them and seeing the ways in which they’re all so different and have their own personalities. I love nature, so taking them on walks will never be a rushed task. I would love the opportunity to get to know yours! I am available 7 days a week at anytime. I can be very flexible and have the availability for something regular. I would love to establish a relationship with you and your pet(s)! When it comes to my way of caring for pets, I will handle feeding, providing fresh water, exercise, grooming if needed, and giving them lots of love and attention. I make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment and monitor their health regularly, informing owners of anything out of the ordinary.
About: I have fostered cats and dogs of all ages (newborn to geriatric), I have been a vet assistant for over 6 years in small, large, and exotic animal care, worked with farm animals, and own 2 dogs and 3 cats. (And quail :) ) I have assistant shelter staff with dog meet and greets and helped train nervous pets for rehoming potential. I currently work from home so I do not have a strict schedule and can be flexible for your pets needs! I would prefer to not sleep in my clients home as I have my own pets that will miss me too! I have plenty of enrichment toys and puzzles for cats and dogs that can help reduce stress and increase mental stimulation, I will gladly administer medications as needed, and walk for exercise to what makes your pet most comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life- dogs, cats, fish, turtles- I love them all! I know how important our pets are and I want you to be completely comfortable leaving them in my care! I am available pretty much any time day or night right now as I’m in summer break from my full time job. This could change over the next few weeks and then it will go back to early mornings and evenings. I am comfortable with whatever your required routine is for your pet! I cannot care for them in my own home at this time but will be happy to come to yours to discuss what they need.
About: Hi, my name is Cat. I've been a lifelong Dog Mom and animal lover. I love how pets all have their own unique personalities. I know firsthand how much joy that they bring to our lives. I definitely consider mine to be part of the family. I have a Shiba Inu named Amaya who's 13. I'm comfortable with any breed/ages of dogs. I am competent in Puppy and Senior care. I can administer meds and reinforce training. I love taking long walks and engaging in play. I make organic dog treats for my pup and she loves them. I'll bring the treats. I'm looking to do this full-time. If you do something you love you'll never work a day in your life. I know as a working Mom how hard it is to find quality care for our dogs. I'm available M-F for all services and I'm available on the weekends to do at home care. So relax, book that vacation. I've got you. I was a Pet Sitter for my neighbors for over 10 years when they went out of town for events. I know this can be stressful for animals. I'll check on your pups, give fresh water and food per your instructions, clean up any accidents and give them some love and quality play time.
About: I have been around all different kinds of dogs my entire life. My parents were big animal lovers which had been passed on to me. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own. One is a smaller dog and our other 2 are bigger dogs (60-75 lbs). Our cat is a 3 year old cat who is not afraid of anything. He loves to play with our dogs like he is one of them! I have a heart for animals and love getting to spoil and play with all the dogs/ cats that I have the chance to meet. I currently am staying at home with my daughter! I was a teacher but now am staying at home full time. Whatever you need I am able to fit your animals schedule into my day! I am able to follow any schedule and rules that are needed to be followed. It is so important to know that your dog is in good hands and taken care of when you are away and I want to be sure that every client knows I will do that for them. I will be sure to love on, play and make sure the dogs needs are met and each client can have an eased mind when they are away.
“Always checked in with me which made me feel better about my dogs first time alone. She sent me pictures of him even tho she didn’t have to it really meant a lot! She’s sweet to my dog and even walked him!! She messaged back to watch him even tho it was the evening before I was asking for care. I would say she is 10/10 reliable!!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I've had German shepherds, border collies, black labs, golden retreaters, and beagles. I have a passion for dogs and would love to spend more time working with dogs. I have my bachelors degree in political science and I am currently working towards my masters degree in healthcare administration. I love animals and will treat your pets like family. We will take your pets along on our daily walks and make sure they get plenty of love. I work remotely from my home. I am home most of the day, your pet will not be left for more than 3 hour while they are in my care. I have a partially fenced yard, but will hand walk your dog for potty breaks if they are a runner. I have four dogs of my own who are very friendly and love to play. I will keep your pets separated during meal times for their safety and will crate pets if you desire.
About: Im patient, attentive and love your pet as tho they were my own. I’ve had pets most of my life and currently own 4 small dogs which are part of my family. Im a student which allows me to have free time outside of my studies. I have a flexible schedule and I’m available most of the time. I have a fenced yard with four dogs of my own. If your pet was to stay with me they are free to roam most of my home excluding bedroom. I work with whatever schedule the owner may like, or they can just flow into my own pets schedules.
“This was our first time using the drop-in visits feature of Rover and we’re so glad we decided to use Brittany! She was so great with our dog, Merribelle! She fed her, took her on short walks, and even gave her medicine and helped do some of Merribelle’s rehab needed for a current injury. Each time Brittany visited our home she sent us a detailed note of how Merribelle was doing and what all they did together. My favorite part was the pictures sent along with the notes. I was easily able to contact Brittany while we were gone to ask her about my dog and request special things for her. We will definitely be using Brittany again in the future!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Newton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newton. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
