“We had two elderly sick kitties. We lost our boy kitty a few days before the reservation. The reservation for drop ins changed a few times. It worked out in the end. It was just three days, but was important to have someone there for our girl kitty after she lost her littermate of 16 + years. Sage was very understanding of our situation.”
“Danielle was excellent for checking in and feeding, scooping litter, etc. My Bucky boy. She sent me messages when she was there to feed him and a pic each time. I was relaxed and calm knowing he was in good hands.”
“Annetta did an amazing job! I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for our little fur family! She went above and beyond and I will gladly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
About: I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned about my pets to others. Every pet has their own personality I want to get to know them. Pet car fits perfectly into my schedule as I complete college online and am home majority of the day they always have my undivided attention. I have a semi fenced yard but so much for them to run in the back. I have a fur baby of my own who loves to play, he’s gentle and sweet. He treats other dogs with respect and knows to set a boundary if they want to play or not.
“Terri was so great with our two dogs, especially our very energetic puppy Boxer who thinks he’s the same size as our Malti-poo! He gets so excited and wants to play and jump but doesn’t realize how big he is! ?♀️ Thanks to Terri’s patience and understanding, he was actually able to calm down and show what a sweet boy he is!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care for each dog. I have extensive experience in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits early on. Additionally, I specialize in senior dog care, offering gentle and attentive support for older pets. My approach is all about understanding each dog's unique needs and making sure they feel coming and loved while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure to set aside time every day for feeding, walking, and playing with my furry friends. It's essential to me to prioritize their well-being and happiness, so I always make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether it's a quick walk in the morning or some playtime in the evening, I love being there for them and making sure they feel loved and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a safe and comfy environment. I have designated spaces for them to sleep, play, and eat. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. At a client's home, I stick to the pet's regular routine as much as possible. I follow any specific instructions the owner gives me to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys, I make sure to keep everything consistent so the pet feels right at home.
About: I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was around eight years old and have extensive experience pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and relatives. Currently, I am the proud owner of one cat, which has deepened my understanding of feline behavior and needs. Additionally, I have a bit of experience caring for senior dogs, allowing me to provide the specialized attention they require. My lifelong passion for animal care, combined with hands-on experience, ensures that your pets receive the highest level of attention and care. I'm currently only studying and testing for my GED so I have a pretty flexible schedule! The rest of my time is spent with my own pets and with family! I'll use the tools provided by you to provide upstanding care for your furry friends. Walking, feeding, play and enrichment, even bathing if requested! It's a pleasure to work with these animals and make them happy and comfortable!
“My cats are normally shy but loved Amber & greeter her during meet and greet & even let her pet them during the visit. They obviously love her & give all the paws up for excellent service.”
“Lynde was very prompt in responses and helped us with last minute needs. She took great care of our dog and sent pictures with each visit. She gave detailed descriptions of their visits and how he was doing while we were away. Thank you!”
“Lil Bit was well taken care of. Thank you Savannah for the pictures each day and all communications! I felt very confident leaving Lil Bit in your hands while on a very long vacation! I will use you again.”
About: Hi! My name is Ella. I currently graduated from UNG with a bachelors and I am a full time realtor. I have been dog sitting/walking/caring for 10+ years now. It all started with our neighbors, and then trickled down to friends. Since I thoroughly enjoy spending time with dogs, I thought it would only be appropriate to gain more friends/neighbors to help. My schedule is flexible for the most part, and I don’t mind making the drive since my real estate clients are in all areas! I wouldn’t even mind carrying your pups with me for work. Especially since COVID, I stay at home and work from home majority of the time if I’m not out showing or have appointments or errands set up! I’m excited to not only meet new friends, but to also meet your furry friends.
About: When people say dogs are humans best friends I completely agree. I love dogs any size. I have had dogs my whole life and currently have a 3 years old GSD who is light of my life. I am very familiar with different kinds of dogs from young pups to senior dogs. I am available to walk, play, feed and keep your four legged best friend entertained while you are busy. Available everyday. Either my husband or I are at home everyday. We have a small backyard that your pup can enjoy. We would have to do a meet and greet with our pup who loves to play and still thinks he is a puppy. We want to make sure we can go above and beyond for your furry friend and making sure he/she is comfortable is our top priority We have a small backyard where your pup can enjoy running around and playing. If your pup is older and like to lay around, we have a great back deck for them to sunbathe and relax. We will make sure your pup is not bored. We have baskets of toys that your pup can play with and beds they can snooze on.
About: I have a dog of my own currently. He is a full blood German Shorthair Pointer. I owned my first dog 8 years ago and have loved animals since a child. I do have experience In the Veterinary assistant field. I’m in online college for grooming and veterinary tech.

“Mandi was a wonderful pet sitter for my two cats! She made sure they had everything they needed while I was away and also gave them extra love and pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 149 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
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.
