“Daniel was awesome and my dog Dakota was excited to see him. He checked in with me and gave me updates on his stay with Dakota and was on time for everything. Will be booking next time I am away.”

“So nice to have the peace of mind that our girl would be shown some love and given company and a good walk while we were a couple hours away. Felicia was a great communicator and made us very comfortable leaving our pup with someone new for the first time. We would love to have her back to care for our girl again!”


“Hannah is responsible, dependable and very considerate and a pleasure to deal with. Contacting her is easy and she is very responsive. Most importantly she is a very affectionate towards our Chessie pack! We highly recommend her! Thank you Hannah and we'll see you again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of various ages, sizes and breeds since I was a kid. I grew up with always at least 1 dog (usually 2) and 2 cats. I have watched pets for neighbors, friends and family consistently throughout the years and have been relied upon to walk, feed, pet and play with their pets. I am also a fur mom for my sweet 9-year old kitten, Pancakes and my 2.5 year old golden retriever, Stella. I take time to make other pets comfortable and give them not only the basic needs but companionship and playtime that is just as important! I am currently taking time away from the corporate world and have lots of time to take care of pets! I’m flexible for daytime and evening visits. I will always take great care to make sure that pets are safe while under my care. When walking I’ll always be sure dogs are leashed and when at home I’ll make sure windows & doors are closed.
About: I currently work as a supervisor at a doggy daycare and have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I also have personal experience caring for special needs and mobility-impaired dogs, including medication administration and bladder expression. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every pet like family. I work mornings and spend a lot of time caring for my own rescue babies, so I currently offer pet care visits between 3 PM–9 PM to ensure every animal gets my full attention and care. I know how important trust is when it comes to someone caring for your pets, because my own babies are my entire world too. I believe building a bond with each pet is just as important as meeting their physical needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with patience, attention, and kindness while keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have my own fur baby and I know how important exercise is. My dog is my life, and I will treat yours with the same care! 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: I have lots of experiencing taking care of my little dog Roy, a Chihuahua and Boston terrier. I live together with my brother in a suburbia kind of neighborhood and work from home, we have a beautiful backyard and front yard space as well. We love hiking and usually go for a run no matter the weather. As I work primarily from home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to all their needs. I can be available at random times during emergencies or last minute planning. I live an active lifestyle and can run with the dog to ensure your pal is getting the exercise they need through out the day. I like a challenge and am willing to adhere to special circumstances with your pet.
“Samantha helped to drop visit our cats for a week. She was kind and easy to communicate, also was experienced for cat daily care. She even helped us to bring in the packages while we’re away. Appreciate her help and care!”

“Grace was amazing! My cat Samosa can be tough to love as she doesn't like people other than me but Samosa was in such good spirits when I got home. I got a photo every day, including where the key was left, and it was great knowing she was doing well while I was away. It made visiting Island stress free!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newton is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 8,390 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newton. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
