“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”
“Thank you Alex so much for taking care of Moab during July 4th weekend. Alex accommodated short notice boarding and very flexible with pickup/drop off time. Tons of update pictures he sent throughout the days. No issues with the stay whatsoever. I trust Alex caring for my senior dog. I will definitely use Alex next time when I’m out of town. No doubt!”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“I can't even count the number of times we left Marvel with Jing! Jing truly loves our dog and treats her as her own. It is such a comfort to have Jing as our go-to dog sitter - we wholeheartedly recommend!”
“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.”
““Excellent”experience with Su. He gave daily updates with photos. Really cared about Koda and reached out when things came out. Highly recommended him to family and friends. Definitely use him again !! Thanks for taking good care of our dog.”
“This is the second time Cindy has watched our dog, Callie. She sends pictures every day and we can see for ourselves see how calm and happy Callie is. Highly recommend.”
“My first time on Rover and first time on an extended break w/o my pup, and I was not anxious, but very relieved to know that he was in such great care at Robert's family home. I received daily status updates with photos that made me glad to know that my pup felt comfortable being away from home. Robert & his family made this a 5-star experience and I 1000% recommend their services.”
“We've used Rover sitters many times, and Yick-hong is one of the best! He clearly loves dogs and was great with our four-year old beagle Ruthie. He took her for a variety of walks, gave her doggie puzzles to solve, and snuggled with her on the couch. He sent us photos and videos two or three times a day. Will definitely call on him again to take care of our pooch.”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”
“Even though I have never left my dog with a pet sitter before and was nervous about leaving him, Yulia put my mind at ease when I met her. I would definitely leave him with her again.”
“We had to leave our dog for 17 days. We've never left him anywhere for more than a week. so, we looked very carefully for the right home, and we found it. When we finally picked him up, he looked happy and relaxed. Holly sent us photos and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy to have found a family we could trust with our pet. And now we have a place we can leave him when we need to go off on our own. Big win. Thanks, Holly & family & River.”
“Can’t begin to explain how amazing Liz and the rest of her family were with my two boys ❤️. I knew as soon as we met the boys were going to love her. Liz is very cheerful, loving and attentive. She did an amazing job at keeping me up to date and most importantly making sure my boys felt at home and safe. I received daily pictures which included dj and beans taking car rides, walks, sleeping and just hanging with the family. If you love your furry companions as much as I do, book with Liz, you won’t be disappointed ❤️”
“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!”
“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.”
“Shout out to Steven for the love and care he gave to my English Springer Spaniel, Benny, while I was out of town. I know Benny had a fabulous time because of the wonderful photos Steven sent of Benny smiling widely. Thank you Steven. Benny looks forward to vacationing at your house again when I’m traveling.”
“Yi was fabulous! She took great care of our ragdoll kitten, Pudding. She is incredibly responsive and sends multiple pictures and videos every day. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Center
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.
Su took such fantastic care of Fiona. From the start, we could tell that she felt at ease. Throughout her stay, her body language in the pictures showed that how comfortable and happy she was. Su kept us well informed, was very attentive to her needs and was very flexible with us. We'd love to have Fiona stay with Su again, thank you for taking such good care of her and giving us peace of mind!
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!
Kim is one of the kindest and sweetest people ever. She took excellent care of my pups, communicated well, and sent photos throughout the day. She has earned my trust, and I plan to use her as my dogs’ primary dog sitter. Thank you for taking care of Lucky and Petunia; they had such a great time and will miss you and your family!
Jun Ho and Hanna always make Petunia feel at home. She spent a full day with them and their dog, Boki, and was so comfy she had to be called multiple times before she came out to go home (it was late and she had already settled onto the couch to snooze). That's how comfy, cozy, and safe she felt!
Amazing boarding service! So genuinely loving and caring sitters. My dog, Luke (10), had his own vacation in their home while we were away for 8 nights - lounging around in their bed (!) and chasing after the bunnies in their yard. They are very attentive and responsive, sending us lots of photos and messages about his "vacation". We will definitely return!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newton Center on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,132 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.
92% 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.
