Holly and her family treated Copley like a member of their family while we were away. I felt so relieved knowing that he was loved the whole weekend ❤️

Kim was great! Super responsive and gave good updates. Sent photos (although our guy is an old man and mostly sleeps so not a lot of action). He came home happy!

This is the second time Jennifer has watched our pup Tashi. She was also able to watch his buddy Murphy, a 13 year old Wheaten Terrier. Murphy is an older pup and needed additional care with more frequent potty outings, 3 different daily hand fed medication, and extra belly rubs! Jennifer did it all and more. She is great with the pups and reached out frequently with questions to ensure things were done correctly. She sends photos and updates through the day. It is so nice and relaxing to know your pup will be well taken care of when you have to be away from them.

We have a Berner that is almost 3 years old and she has been staying with Kira and her family since she was a puppy. I can't give anything but the highest rating for Kira and her family. It is always hard leaving a beloved pet with someone else, but we never worry with Kira. Winnie has a great big back yard to play in with other dogs and the personal attention she receives to be part of the family is second to none. Daily updates with photos of how well our pup is doing puts our mind at ease while we are away. We always know that Winnie is being treated as part of the family and gets tons of attention and play time. Logistically, Kira is always flexible and amenable with drop offs and pick ups and their home and space for the dogs is set up wonderfully. Our dog has more room to roam and play than she does at her own home! We have been repeat customers with Kira multiple times over and will continue to plan to be for years to come!

When we picked up our pup, you could tell her really enjoyed his time with Yulia and her family. He was happy to see us, but I'm pretty sure he would have been equally happy to stay with them. We will certainly be using Yulia's services again in the future.

Amazing experience boarding my dog. My senior dog is blind/deaf and was given wonderful attention. He had a huge fenced-in yard to explore at his own pace and I had regular updates with great pictures. I will book again if I need boarding, and highly recommend their services. Thank you for taking such good care of my little guy!

We had such a great experience with Robert, Jen, and their lovely family! They took care of our King Charles Cavalier, Osler, for a week and treated him like one of their own. He was well-fed, taken out frequently for potty breaks, and we received thoughtful updates with photos 1–2 times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their two daughters were so sweet with Osler, and he got along really well with their two friendly dogs. It was clear he had a wonderful time and felt right at home. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave him — we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!

Sean is the best! I was boarding my 1 year old dog for the first time, and Sean made me feel so comfortable leaving her with him. He updated me the whole weekend with photos and videos of her having so much fun with the other dogs. My dog came down with an ear infection a few days before her stay with Sean, and she required ear drops during her stay, and he had no problem providing her with extra care and attention. I am so grateful to have found Sean, and I will definitely be using him in the future for both daycare and boarding!

Eddy and his team did a great job taking care of my 9 lb chihuahua mix, Tiberius! I received multiple updates every day of Tiberius enjoying himself outside and even getting along with other dogs--not something he usually likes to do. He was fed regularly and got lots of attention and treats. He was returned to me happy and healthy. Highly recommend for attention to detail, great caretaking, and genuine passion and love of dogs.

Holly took great care of my dog Koda! She was very sweet, understanding, and patient. I could tell she has experience catering the different dogs needs and personalities, and has the ability to accommodate them and make them comfortable. Koda is a little anxious, and I think she did great with him and made us both very comfortable! She was also very flexible when I realized I was arriving from my trip a little later than expected. Overall great experience, thank you Holly!

Su was amazing and so caring with our senior French bulldog, bulldog. He was very attentive to our dog’s needs and communicated on a regular basis about her well being and food and water consumption. We felt like we had a very good idea of how she was doing while we were away on vacation. We are very grateful for his thoughtfulness- they got into a good rhythm and I think Frances really enjoyed her time with Su!

We had such a great experience with Yick-Hong and Yueh! They were incredibly transparent and communicative throughout — always reachable and quick to respond. We really appreciated that they asked for our consent before taking Brie anywhere, which made us feel respected and at ease. They sent thorough updates with a great mix of photos and videos, including how she was eating and going to the bathroom, so we always knew exactly how she was doing. Would absolutely rebook — highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Newton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newton on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,227 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

91% of Newton 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 Newton 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 Newton 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 Newton.

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 Newton 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.
