About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, medication support, or simply lots of attention and companionship, I treat every dog like family. I strive to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind when they’re away. Since I was little I have always had a dog of my own who has always been well cared for! I am looking to help care for your animals, I am home all summer and looking to care for animals. I love going on walks with dogs, playing fetch with them or even keeping them company and feeding them. I can come to your house but also offer well trained dogs to spend time in my home as well if needed/wanted. I ask for clients to give/write clear detailed instructions for what they expect and want from me for there animal. I always pay attention to all the details asked of me while with the animal. I am always making sure the animal is safe.

Stephanie has become our trusted caretaker for Pepper when we are out of town. She is great at sending daily updates and goes above and beyond to take good care of Pepper, who is usually one to keep to herself but comes out from hiding to see Stephanie when she comes over!

About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, I have an interest in caring for animals, I’ve been working at a dog daycare and enjoy it very much. It’s definitely helped me gain a lot of experience and confidence in working with animals. I currently work part-time five days a week with weekends off, I’ll definitely be able to get in some beloved pup play time and care any weekend day and a day during the week could work as well. A time in the morning or mid afternoon would fit well. I currently have 3 cats and they are strictly indoors but during spring, summer, and fall they go outside for a brief time monitored. I can take your dog or cat outdoors whenever they need and if needed I can crate your pup, as well as take them outdoors when needed and/or for playtime and fresh air. I am comfortable taking dogs for walks down the street or just simply playing in the backyard which ever is preferred by the client.

About: Michael (or Briar as they prefer to be called) have had cats and dogs (of all shapes and sizes) for most of their life, raising many from kittens or puppies to well into their twilight years as a part of their family. This has allowed Briar have experience with all manner of friend, whether they be bundles of energy, trembling balls of anxious fluff, or friends that need way more belly rubs than a hand can give. Regardless your pet, they will always be showered with love and gentle touch when taken care of by Briar! I'm currently working part time, so I am definitely able to stop in, do a check up, give some attention, belly rubs, and love, and be on my way! All Briar wishes for our furry friend(s) is their safety and comfortability, especially when you're away! I want to keep an environment that is familiar and nonintrusive as possible, allowing your ease of mind to match theirs. Quick hello and some extra love will always be given

I work from home with flexible hours, and love to get out side for my lunch breaks as much as possible! I am having my first (human) baby in July and will be on maternity for 4 months. I want to stay active and walk as much as I can! Clients home would be best for pet care, walking in your neighborhood or letting dogs out to play and use the bathroom in your yard!

About: Hello everyone, I’m new here! I’ve grown up and have taken care of pets my entire life, I have a dog of my own and have fostered many breeds and ages of dogs through Last Hope K9 as well since 2017 (more than 100 dogs saved). I treat all animals as if they are my children and give them as much love and attention as possible! I believe pets are a big part of your family. As a school counselor, my day job is to take care of families, and that’s what I’m looking to do here too! I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs and look forward to taking care of your furry friend! I’m a school counselor, so I’m available after work/at night time typically after 3pm for any of your pet needs. I’m available most weekends. I also have all school vacations, summers off and available for holiday sitting. Me and my husband have a fully fenced in yard in a safe, and quiet neighborhood on the Haverhill, MA/Plaistow, NH line. I have a very friendly and low/medium energy dog of my own who loves other pets and will definitely keep yours company! I always want to try to copy and paste what they are familiar with while you're away, so that they are as comfortable as possible. This looks different for every dog, and we are flexible to that. Safety is a huge priority at our house. Dogs are never left unattended in our fenced in back yard, me or my husband will always be outside watching them. We also never let the dogs off leash if we take them to the public park/walking trail across the street from our house.

Sharon was fantastic! She did drop in visits for our dog Izzie and we couldn't have been happier. Sharon kept us updated with photos and text messages each visit. Sharon is clearly an animal lover and treated Izzie like one of her own. We highly recommend Sharon and we can’t wait to use her again.

Emily is an absolute gem! She’s incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for. Our doggy was so happy and well cared for while we were away — and Emily kept us updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. She's reliable, responsive, and clearly goes above and beyond. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Emily!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Newton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 8,391 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
