“Ye and family were excellent with my senior dog Jake. They sent me updates every day and catered to Jake’s needs as an older pup (eating habits, meds, frequent potty breaks). Jake also met a few other pup friends on his visit. Would love to have Jake stay again in the future.”
“Kim treats my dog Ziggy with care and affection - and her 2 dogs are perfect companions/company for Ziggy to play with. She really understands the needs of dogs and I feel 100% comfortable with her care. I also look forward to receiving her cute, playful photos with colorful captioning..”
“Sul was fantastic. Before I boarded Zoey, he offered to get on a quick phone and video call so I could see the space and feel comfortable. After I dropped Zoey off, he kept me updated every few hours with messages and photos. I’d highly recommend him!”
“Lee and family were amazing with our dog! Great communication and he was very comfortable with them. We already have our next stay scheduled! Highly recommend. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Greta was very kind, patient, communicative and accommodating! Lots of updates and pics throughout my dogs stay. Plenty of walks and park time. He seemed genuinely happy to be there!”
“Thank you Barb (and Chiquita) for taking great care of Andy the other day! Very much looking forward to having someone dependable nearby that I can entrust with my little man.”
“Jennifer did an excellent job in taking care of Chip! She was flexible in adjusting to my booking needs and very prompt in her responses. While caring for Chip she sent me lots of photos and updates. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Jing took incredible care of our dog and kept us updated through texts and photos on how he was doing throughout his stay. Weasley seemed like he was part of the family for the weekend, and we would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Kathy was so accommodating and responsive! And she sent pictures of Frankie all day long to keep us posted. It was Frankie’s first experience in a house with cats so we were a bit worried, but everything worked out great and all the animals lived in harmony. We will definitely book again!”
“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”
“Kira and Steve are terrific to work with, very easy going. They screen the pups to make sure they will play well with others and do what it takes to help the dogs feel at home. Their space is also amazing.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Robert and family while they cared for our dog for six days. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. They sent us lots of updates and photos every day, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Bruno looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every picture—and he seemed to have a really good time during his stay. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would absolutely book with them again!”
“This is the second time we have Monet at Marissa’s place. She took a great care of Monet. And from Marissa’s photos, we could tell that Monet was enjoying the stay so much! Thank you!”
“Whitney was so understanding and flexible when a large snowstorm impacted travel extending my pet’s stay. Her wonderful care for my pup means so much and let me concentrate on getting home safely. Thank you!”
“François is an absolutely amazing individual with dogs. He has a really big yard, a patio and the woods nearby which kept my pupper happy. More so than that - this was the second time I’ve boarded him with François, and around this time my dog was too eager to go with him. He’ll emotionally invest into your dog, ask important questions and your dog will have fun! 10/10 recommend, and will come back.”
“This was Brady’s 2nd time with Hong. When I dropped Brady off, he was so glad to see them again! Hong sent us daily reports and photos. Most of all, they really seem to love our dog. Thank you so much for the excellent care!!”
“Loveliest couple and some real dog pros. They were so good with my pup and shared tons of photos while we were away. We absolutely use them again and 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.”
“Ismael was great. Sent photos, was able to be flexible with dates which was much appreciated! Our bull/boxer seems to have had a great and stimulating time with other dogs etc,.”

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
Cali had such a great experience! She has some medical needs and required a topical lotion and medicine to be given and that was taken care of. She looked extremely happy in all the photos sent. I felt like I was fully in the loop and any stress I had about leaving her when she wasn’t feeling her best was completely put at ease when seeing how happy she was. 100% would recommend for anyone who needs a “dog sleep away camp”. It also was great to not have to worry about pickup/drop off.
Leah and Lex were wonderful! They coordinated with my other dog sitter for the drop-off because I had to hire 2 dog sitters during my long stay for scheduling reasons. I was stressed about it but they made sure the transition was seamless. Ladoo had a great time at both places.
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.
Katya was great! We had very specific requests and needs for our pup and were worried about leaving him. She was very detailed and made sure to ask many questions so she could understand what was required. She made us feel at ease and promised to take good care of him. She is supper friendly and clearly loves dogs. We got a few pictures and updates. As parents it’s never enough but if we had communicated she would have been happy to send more I am sure. He was healthy and very happy when we picked him up so a great stay. We would book again.
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!
Natasha and Josh were great with Dino! They were very thorough when we met them during our meet-and-greet and immediately put us at ease. They sent lots of updates and even did extra indoor enrichment activities with Dino during a crazy heatwave. He had his own vacation while we were away!!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newton Center on Rover is $83.25 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,211 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Newton Center sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Newton Center landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newton Center home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
