“With a weekend trip upcoming, on short notice I reached out to Eddy to watch my dog Jessie for a weekend. Without hesitation he said yes! After a quick meet and greet the week before, Jessie was set to stay with Eddy for the following weekend. I’m very glad I booked with Eddy!! All weekend long I got consistent picture updates, and had no worries when Eddy assured me he’d be able to keep Jessie on a regular medication schedule when she unexpectedly had some anti-inflammatory meds to take during her stay. With pickup and drop off I didn’t have to worry about a frantic departure or arrival for myself. Highly recommended Eddy for boarding, would definitely book again!”
“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”
“Shuhua helped us out in a pinch last minute to board our dog same night, and we are so happy with the attentiveness shown - it doesn't get much better for our shy and sleepy greyhound girlie than an elevator to avoid the scary stairs, a soft couch, lovingly-shared boiled chicken and peeled apples, and a fresh new green space she gets to sniff around. We've already booked a second day due to our needs, and will absolutely reach out again in the future if needed! So glad to establish a connection to a nearby sitter that is so comfortable for our pet.”
“Ismael was fantastic! You could see at arrival that he likes dogs very much. During Mel and Luna’s stay at his place we got many pictures with very happy dogs. It made us very comfortable to see our dogs so well taken care. We will certainly come back and leave Mel and Luna with him whenever is needed.”
“Michiko and Cliff are really great, very responsive and you can tell immediately that they love dogs and have a lot of experience taking in four legged guests. From the meet and greet we felt comfortable having Bella stay with them and Bella seemed calm and happy to explore the house. During the stay, we received daily updates and pictures and of Bella enjoying the stay, making our time away from Bella relaxing knowing she is in good hands.”
“Betsy and her family were wonderful hosts for our pup. Betsy sent pics and videos, and Ronja seemed to have a fantastic time. Great communication, we felt safe leaving our dog in Betsy's care.”
“Deirdre took wonderful care of my dog over the holiday weekend. I had no worries about him knowing she was with him. She made it very easy and is extremely reliable. I will most definitely book with her again for future needs.”
“Lorena and Jahn were very good to my dog. They sent me lots of pictures of him everyday. It made me feel better because I’ve never done this before. They were awsome. I definitely would recommend them. They are really nice people.”
“Thank you Alex so much for taking care of Moab during July 4th weekend. Alex accommodated short notice boarding and very flexible with pickup/drop off time. Tons of update pictures he sent throughout the days. No issues with the stay whatsoever. I trust Alex caring for my senior dog. I will definitely use Alex next time when I’m out of town. No doubt!”
“Gina was great! Winston seemed to love her and she was super helpful taking him last second! Would definitely consider using again and would recommend to others!”
“Sarah and her family went above and beyond durin our senior dog’s recent stay. From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We so appreciated the daily videos and pictures and the opportunity to meet with Sarah beforehand. And it was no problem when she had to refill one of our dogs medications. Truly heroic! Thank you, thank you, for everything! Buddy loved his stay with you!”
“Alyson is always amazing watching my cat! He’s had some medical issues lately and she was extremely attentive, followed all my instructions, and gave me constant updates on how he was doing. My trip out of town was much much less stressful thanks to her. I would recommend Alyson for anyone looking to have their cat stay with someone while they are away. Thanks Alyson!!”
“We were very happy with Stefan and Elvia taking care of our Labrador for 10 days. They sent lots of photos and our dog had lots of fun with them. It was easy to communicate with them and overall a very positive experience.”
“Eric was great! I was taking care of my nephew's dog and had to find him a place to board at the last minute due to a death in the family. My travel plans kept changing and Eric kindly accomodated the situation. He also sent daily photos which helps to assure your dog is being well cared for. I highly recommend Eric.”
“Yulia took great care of my Barron and always responded quickly to all messages. She was also so kind and flexible when my pickup time was delayed due to traffic! I would recommend Yulia to others. Thank you!”
“Our dog Gus has stayed with Sue many times and he absolutely adores her! Almost as much as we do :) She is amazing with him and we always know he’s in great hands when he spends time at her house.”
“Ozzi had a great time with their family. We loved to see the pictures of all the snuggling. Highly recommend them and Ozzi is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Nally for a week while we were away. She offered to meet us prior to the booking, which I took her up on since I don’t like to book blindly and we had never met. Her communications were always prompt and she sent pictures while we were away. She was very flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off. Both of my guys came back happy and tired! They were happy to have some other dogs to play with too. I would not hesitate to re-book with her.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Newton is $63

Eddy was fantastic! We knew from the initial meet and greet - one of our girls can be very hesitant to meet new people but he was patient and kind and spent time letting her get comfortable. Great communication, dependable, and tons of pics throughout their stay. Our girls came home happy and well cared for, and we appreciated the updates while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.
Katherine was amazing! We got to set up a meeting beforehand and she was very open to everything and responsive! Our dog, Lena, is a very shy girl around new people, but she warmed up to Katherine super quick! We got plenty of pictures/updates during the stay and will definitely be going back!
Arman and his partner made my dog feel right at home immediately. My dog has several behavioral and health issues, including separation anxiety, aggression, IBD and IVDD, but they were able to cater to all her needs, including changing their schedules around so that she wouldn’t have to be alone. They’re so compassionate and love dogs, and they’re intelligent, communicative, meticulous, and so thoughtful.
Junho might be the best sitter in the North Cambridge area. When it comes to caring for your dog, the most important aspect is genuine love and care. You can tell that your dog is having a blast by checking the constant photos and live updates from Junho. As you can see from those photos, it's easy to tell how much love my dog was given during this stay. Furthermore, Junho was really flexible in fitting my schedule, which was out of the ordinary due to having a baby. If you need someone to take care of your dog, it's Junho
We had such a wonderful experience with Yick-hong and his wife, what lovely people! Our senior girl hadn’t had a new dog sitter in many years and also had a recent injury so she needed some extra TLC. Within a day or two she was entirely at ease and living her best life! She even had a field trip to sample doggy ice cream. Yick-hong and his wife were very attentive, noticed her tummy seemed a little off related to her medication and communicated about how best to help her. Communication overall was just the right balance, keeping me in the loop without being overwhelming. Truest test of all, at pick up Maisy was happy to see me, but was so relaxed and comfortable she was not in a rush to leave at all!
Kim is fantastic! Salty had a wonderful time with Kim. Salty was well taken care of, enjoyed his overnights, and got along well with Kim’s two dogs. Kim’s fenced in yard is a real plus. Kim was able to help me with my last minute booking and was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times.
Adrienne is a wonderful dog sitter!! My dog Petey stayed with Adrienne for boarding and he was well taken care of and given lots of love! Adrienne is kind, caring, professional, and communicative! She shared updates and pictures all throughout his stay. I highly recommend Adrienne for pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,354 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newton. About 91% of Newton 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 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.
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.
