“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Brianne watched our dog for six days. She was very communicative and her dogs played well with our dog. Laika enjoyed playing with her daughters and the her dogs. She came back home very happy. We would want to board Laika again with Brianne if she is available.”
“Holden was amazing with Astro! He kept me updated and informed. He sent photos as well. Astro loved his stay so much that he whined and stayed at the front door for a few minutes after returning home! We will definitely be using his services again in the future!”
“Hanna was so understanding and sweet. There were several hiccups on my end that caused me to need her to watch Tilly an additional night and she was very accommodating. She sent tons of photos and videos, more than any sitter I’ve ever used before, and it looks like Tilly had a fantastic time! I was an anxious mess from the very beginning but Hanna eased my worries with her calm and kind responses to all my concerns. We will definitely be back!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and started walking neighborhood pups when I was just 8. All through high school I dog sat for friends, feeding, walking, and playing with their pets while they were away. I've also spent lots of time with cats over the years, even though I've never had one myself. I have two close friends in vet med, and I've helped one of them care for puppies being raised as future service dogs, so I've got a little extra experience with the little ones too! Whether it's a big goofy dog or a chill cat, I love spending time with animals and treating them like family. I'm on a hybrid co-op schedule right now, so I'm working from home most days except Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and I'm home most weekends too. That means lots of availability for walks, playtime, and drop ins throughout the week. If I ever need to step out while watching your pup, I'll either bring them along with me or have my vet tech roommate keep an eye on them so they're never alone. I don't have any pets of my own in my current apartment (my pets are back home while I'm away at college), so your pet would get my full attention. I have a front yard and backyard with easy access, plus I'm only 2 minutes away from a huge park with a fenced in dog park inside, so there's tons of room to run around and play safely. Whether it's playtime outside, a trip to the park, or relaxing indoors, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for the whole time.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of owning a pug, multiple chihuahuas, and an Italian greyhound. I absolutely adore dogs and cats and I am eager to provide first class service for your pets so that you can take a break and enjoy life! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for overnight stays as well. I work from home and make my own schedule so I am always there for your pets! I work from home and make my own schedule so I am able to provide 24/7 watch / care for your pets either at your home or in mine (minimal amount of furniture, dog bed, studio - lots of space).
“Dana and Nia took great care of my pup - I appreciated how ready they were for drop off and pick up, and I liked the photos/videos they shared as well. I recommend booking with Dana!”
“Yasmine was great to work with. She was in communication. Pick up and drop off were easy and straight forward. Cocoa seemed very happy and well taken care of.”
“Claudia and Jason are truly amazing dog sitters. They took excellent care of our large Aussiedoodle , who never likes to be separated from me. They took him on many varied walks and on one of them even got him a pup ice cream, had cuddle time, time for play and rest. He returned home calm, confident and tired. I fully trust Claudia and Jason and am so grateful to them.”
“Jen and Robert were amazing with our lab Abby! She was nervous to stay at a new place, and they were so incredibly patient and cooperative. Abby had a wonderful time and we would absolutely leave her with Jen and Robert again.”
“Kristina is an absolutely exceptional dog sitter and human being. We were able to go out of the country with complete peace of mind. From the moment she met Coco, I sensed he was in loving and competent hands. She then exceeded all expectations. Tons of updates and cute pics everyday. Taking him to work on occasion, and even gifting him an adorable little polar fleece outfit. This woman is unreal—she’s an angel. We’ve already booked her for our next trip away.”
“Jeehye and her husband, Gasper, are truly wonderful sitters. They take such great care of our dog and always make sure he feels comfortable and happy. They even take him out for walks twice a day, which we really appreciate. Our dog absolutely loves them! They are also very considerate and flexible with our schedule and circumstances, which gives us great peace of mind. We always feel at ease knowing our dog is in such caring and reliable hands.”
“Highly recommend Miriam! She was able to watch Pretzel with only a few days notice and was more than willing to accommodate his separation anxiety. All this to say that Pretzel had a great time and we would definitely book with her again.”
“Paula and her family took great care of my baby. She was very responsive and understanding of his quirks. Took him to the park and for a hike which he clearly enjoyed judging from the pictures she sent. Definitely recommend Paula and would have my pup stay there again anytime.”
“Joe and the family were great hosts to my dog! She had a fun and busy week and came home happy and tired. Joe provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. We would definitely stay with Joe again!”
About: I grew up with a house full of dogs and cats. As an adult, I have cared for several dogs long term and had a couple of cats of my own. I love animals and appreciate what they can add to our lives! I currently don't have pets of my own, but I know there are plenty of pets out there who need extra care, exercise, and attention! If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know anytime! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. Aside from virtual meetings at specified times, I am available throughout the week for various pet care services. I live in three bedroom house with a fenced in backyard. It is a suitable environment for small to medium pets and could be ok for large pets for a reasonably short period (i.e. few days). At your house, you make the rules and I will make sure to follow them.
“Exceptional service!!!!This is my first time leaving a young puppy while I was traveling for the weekend. Lots of great picture updates, really thoughtful and takes care of anything that comes up.”
“Monica had our dogs for over a week and did an amazing job caring for them and giving us photos and updates. They came home happy and tired- a win! We were very happy with the communication and flexibility with Monica’s schedule. Would use her again!”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”

Connor and Juliana were absolutely amazing with our dog! They took her out many times to play at her favorite park, they sent me picture updates daily in which she looked very happy and relaxed, and I know that they kept her safe and very well loved. I am grateful we found them to take care of our dog!
Miriam and her husband took good care of our older Shih Tzu for five nights. They sent messages and photos to reassure us that he was doing fine. We liked the fact that they only take one dog at a time, so he could get all their attention. We would board our dog with Miriam again.
Emma was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, Bobby. Even though it was my first time using Rover, she immediately made me feel comfortable that Bobby was in good hands. Emma was very organized with scheduling and logistics, attentive to Bobby’s schedule and habits, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Bobby had a great weekend with Emma and already misses her!
This was our first time using Rover, and Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. Mochi takes a while to warm up to new people and situations, and Holly was so experienced and patient with her that we never had to worry. She was also a great communicator and sent us regular updates and photos while we were away. Mochi was in wonderful hands! We would absolutely recommend Holly and will definitely use her again.
Danielle took exceptionally good care of our Cavapoo Chaco while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us regular updates with photos and it was clear that our dog was in good hands. Danielle is easy to communicate with, is an extremely competent and dedicated pet sitter, and will certainly be our choice going forward for caring for our dog. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for excellent care for their furry friend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Newton Center is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $100 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 4,175 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newton Center. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Newton Center can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newton Center home-away-from-home, 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 Center.
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 Center 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 , 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 .
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.
