“We greatly appreciated the time and attention Carrie took in caring for our 5 month old puppy! She stopped in twice a day and feed, walked, and played with our pup while we were away at work! Would recommend Carrie to anyone! She was punctual, professional, and did exactly what we asked her to do!”
About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”
About: I've been watching dogs for over 10 years, caring for pets belonging to friends and family. At home, I share my life with 2 dogs and 4 cats, so I understand the different personalities, needs, and quirks that come with each animal. Whether it's playtime, feeding schedules, or just extra cuddles, I treat every pet I watch like my own. Pet care fits easily into my day since I have a flexible schedule. I'm available for walks, feedings, and check-ins with dogs throughout the day, and I'm also happy to handle litter box care, feeding, and quiet companionship for cats. In a client's home, I follow their existing routine as closely as possible — same food, same schedule, same favorite spots — so the pet's day feels as normal as possible while their owner is away.
“Trusting someone to come into your home and care for your animals is never easy… unless you get the chance to book Melissa. She sent photos and messages and went above and beyond. 10/10 totally recommend.”
“Bethany was the BEST! She was great with my two Doodles, very kind and patient. I loved the detailed updates and photos from her visits. I would highly recommend Bethany to sit for your pets. I will definitely be hiring her again.”
About: I am training my own dog as a psychiatric service animal and have learned much going through this process. I am not a licensed trainer, but I do have experience in that area, which I enthusiastically bring to each walk. I'm flexible with scheduling and do my best to make things as simple and convenient as possible even if that means scheduling outside of my availability schedule when possible. Additionally, if I have any upcoming dates that I am unavailable this will be communicated well in advance. Availability schedule: Monday= 8am-10am Tuesday= 8am-6pm Wednesday= 8am-6pm Thursdays= 8am-11am (craft fair season), 8am-6pm (rest of year) F= 8am-10am Sat= 2pm-6pm (craft fair season), 8am-6pm (rest of year) My general motto is always leave the space looking better upon leaving then when you first arrived. This applies to animals too. Always leave a pet happier, more content, calmer, etc. after being with them. Have multiple pets? No problem. The more the merrier.
“Olivia did a great job providing cat care for our five furry children. She gave medication to three of them and spent extra time working to get know each one. We would definitely hire Olivia again and highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I've fed them, given them the necessary medication, gave them baths, play with them and of course love them. I'm currently working a part time job, the days I work are random. Thursdays and Fridays I have off but any day off I can communicate with the pet owner to pet sit on those days as well :) My cat remains an indoor cat for safety reasons. I want to ensure he is safe from any danger presented in the outside world there is.
About: I owned a dog for over a decade, and babysat dogs/ cats many times. I worked with animals at a zoo so I’m good at reading them and respecting their boundaries! I work second shift (3-11pm) M-F so check ins would work best for those days. I can still dog/cat sit during the weekdays if you’re are okay with your pets being alone for a full shift, or being watched by my parents (while pets are boarded at our house). My weekends are completely open! I have a large backyard and tennis court. I also live near a very nice bike trail for long walks. I have no other animals in the house. I have ramps for small/old dogs.
About: I am specialized in training all types of dogs! I make sure that the dog is taken care of and is having a blast while the parents are gone! I am very outgoing, active, and good at communicating. I currently work part time as a server so I am available whenever just may have to step away for a couple hours to waitress. I have tons of grass area at my house, and have a ton of room as well for the dog to move around and play when needed!
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
About: I have taken care of multiple friends pets for days , if not weeks straight. I've worked at multiple shelters helping out with dog walking and cleaning , and I've also volunteered at functions to raise funds for shelters. The joke is with my faculty I am the resident dog guru. I am a teacher so i'm able to do very early walks starting at 5:30am. I have to be at work by 7:30 am. I am done with school by 4:30, except January- March when I have to be back to director musical practice. If you need someone to how sit your pet. I guarantee that I will try my best to be at the house and not running errands, except to go to work. I'm a big believer in if I'm taking care of an animal in their own home that I need to be at that house as long as I possibly can because that pet deserves the companionship and the freedom to be let out to play. I love taking long walks.I enjoy nature and so taking longer walks with animals does not bother me.
“Kenze was great with our pups! Our one dog was a little nervous at first, but he warmed up very quickly. Kenze seems to be a natural with dogs. Based on the pictures sent we know our dogs had fun when they were with Kenze.”
“My dog Betty is big, enthusiastic and full of energy. She is a lot of dog. Betty loved Mckenna from the moment she met her and I knew she would be well cared for. Mckenna took Betty out, walked her, fed her and hugged her. I’ve had Betty for four years and this in the first time I have tried something like this. It worked way better than I thought it would and I hope to work with Mckenna again in the future. She is an excellent caregiver.”
“Our normally well-behaved dogs decided to ransack their room while we were gone for an afternoon. Upon her arrival at our house, not only did Amanda straighten up their mess but she also fed them, spent plenty of time with them outside, sent me pics of her visit, and even left them treats for Christmas. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter who goes the extra mile for her clients.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and many different types of dogs.

Also I been a breeder of my beloved breed, French Bulldog's for over 20 years. Along with breeding, I have shown dogs at AKC recognized shows for over 20 years.

I will follow you instructions and be able to recognize if something isn't quite right with your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 168 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
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.
