“Sage is the most amazing sitter we could have asked for. She is incredibly patient and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for. She was highly communicative and kind and we knew our pup was in good hands!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life of many breeds and sizes. I train my own dog on a daily basis with obedience training. He knows how to do a handful of tricks. I also have experience with caring for senior dogs and their particular needs of all kinds. I’m a dog mom to 1 and care for him on a daily basis as well as various other family members animals. I also have 4 exotic pets that I care for on a daily basis. I will make sure to respect my clients wishes about their animals needs and wants when it comes to their animals care in their home. As well as any special requests they may have.
“Susannah was amazing with my cat! She treated her like she was her own cat and followed my instructions to a T. My girl even came out to say “hi” to her (which is not typical). Thank you so much Susannah!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for years. I watched my sisters pitbull while she was deployed. I just have time to hang out with your furry friends. Time during the day to walk or the flexibility to watch your dogs at home where their happy. I prefer to stay in your house where your dog is accustom and comfortable so not much is changing once you leave and you come back. Dogs like routine too.
“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.”
“Court was phenomenal! She went out of her way to let me know if she was running late, always sent pictures and updates of the dogs! I felt like my dogs were taken care of by family; she made sure to pay fetch and play with them, tiring them out. She even checked in on my cat when she didn't have to. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Mak was amazing with our cat, Benji. She was very responsive and communicative from the start, which really helped ease our stress during the holidays. Benji is very shy, but by the end he was getting close to her—a great sign. We’re very happy to have found someone as attentive and responsible as Mak and will definitely reach out to her again. Thank you a lot!!”
“Sydney and he kids have been great with my cats. She sends great updates and has gone above and beyond my expectations. I 100% recommend her services if she is available.”
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: I’ve grown up with both big and small dogs. Neighbors and family friends have always trusted me to dog or cat sit. I also wouldn’t mind taking your dog for a run when requested. Currently waiting to start school in November, so I am free everyday weekday roughly after 9AM when I get done working out for the day. I would be honored to care for your pet with the utmost respect and care. I know I wouldn’t want someone carelessly taking care of my pet. I’d rather bore you with questions then mess anything up!
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’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: 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. Right now I’m unemployed and I have a son who goes to daycare so I’m naturally free during the weekdays. During the weekend I can manage a babysitter My dog is fed morning and evening.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 145 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
