“Claudia is our routine sitter once a week but truly came through this week when we had extra needs. Claudia is prompt, organized, thoughtful and kind. Our boys love when she comes to walk them. She goes above and beyond for our boys.”
“Scout had a great first week with Aaron - she seemed happy with the walks and very comfortable with him. From the human side, he's a good and responsive communicator, and responsible around scheduling and closing up the house. He clearly loves dogs and has a good way with them. Thumbs up!”
About: I grew up with goldendoodles. My first was a full sized, about 80 pounds. I’m used to handling big or small dogs. Now I am a cat dad for a senior cat (over 20 years old). I am seeking part time employment. I am available throughout the workday for walks, check-ins and anything else your pet might need. I am also available on weekends. I am able to provide services in your home. I cannot board without disturbing my own cat. I am gentle with animals and attentive to their needs. I am detailed oriented and happy to give your pet the special attention it needs.
About: I'm a musician & nonprofit administrator (WFH) with flexibility in my schedule and a lot of love and care to give! My late dog was reactive and I constantly had to be attuned to her emotional state, so I understand the nuances of dog personalities, though every dog teaches me something new. I have previously fostered dogs as well. I grew up with horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and hamsters, and aspired to be an equine vet once upon a time! I am a freelancing musician and also have an admin job - if I am not away traveling, I am almost always home and flexible with my schedule. My home is very quiet, no other pets, and no kids. There are great walking routes nearby including the river, and we can discuss taking your dog for runs or trail outings depending on your dog's training.
About: I absolutely love animals. I grew up with a cat before my family adopted a senior dog and got a puppy. I’m able to administer medication to pets, as we did that with our senior dog, but have also cared for our (no longer) puppy his entire life. I helped train him and helped him understand fetch, which he now loves. Additionally, I often cared for my grandma’s cat both when she couldn’t and just because I love her cat. I’m currently in grad school and intern a few days a week so my schedule is a bit weird, but I am always happy to work something out! I’m generally available for walks/drop ins Monday and Friday at 5pm, Tuesday after 6pm, Wednesday before 5:30pm, Thursday both between 11am and 1pm as well as after 6:30pm, and all day on the weekends. Please just message me and I’d be happy to find a time that works! In someone’s home, I’m always respectful of their limits with their pets. If at a friend’s, I always make sure to ask whether it’s okay if their pet can be on the couch, given a treat, etc.
About: I have taken care of my relatives' dogs for as long as I can remember, I have a ton of experience with dogs and have grown up with them my whole life. I would love to be able to do the same for other families as a college student while at Boston College! My parents take care of my dog while I am at school but when I am home I love to take my dog for walks, play with her, and frequently give her baths for my parents. I have a fenced in yard with a pool but I would be going to clients homes, not keeping any pets at mine as I am at school.
“Over the last month Jana has been walking Pitzi when we need it and has been very accommodating and reliable. We’re very happy to have Jana there for Pitzi ☺️”
“Sunny is fabulous with animals. Our Austrailian Cattle Dog is not the easiest of breeds and he formed a rappore with her very quickly. Sunny is also responsive, responsibile, and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend her!”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
“Five stars doesn’t feel like enough- I highly recommend Charlie! My dog’s excitement level goes through the roof when I say Charlie’s name. Charlie’s responsible, caring, fun, and shows a genuine love in caring for animals. I feel a real sense of comfort having such a kind and attentive sitter for my dog! I’m truly grateful!”
“Leanne stopped by twice a day during a busy weekend to take care of my dog Freddie. She showed such warmth and love to him from the very start! She took him on walks and spent extra time playing with him in my apartment before leaving without my even asking. I am so grateful to know I could trust her with Freddie while I was busy! Thank you, Leanne!”
“Traci is truly amazing and takes such wonderful care of Sandy while we're away. We can always count on Traci -- including during a major snowstorm (20+ inches)! Sandy absolutely loves her, and we know Sandy is in great hands with Traci.”
“Diane is always attentive to our dog’s needs and is good at communicating how our dog has behaved during the walk. It’s so nice to know how my dog is when I’m not around. I highly recommend Diane.”

Alexander has been wonderful with Pocket! He’s reliable, punctual, and has been so great about keeping him comfortable and happy. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks, and I’ve really appreciated how dependable he’s been. I highly recommend him!
Sue has helped us with our big boy Hugo on several occasions, coming into our house and taking him out for a long walk around our neighborhood, then feeding and playing with him for a bit. She is reliable, trustworthy, prompt and great with our boy. I highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for some help with their fur baby.
Alina has been really thoughtful about adjusting her walks to help Tango continue maturing. The care she provided Tango gave us a lot of peace of mind. We want to express our deepest gratitude to Alina for the excellent dedication and love she provided to Tango We are really going to miss her.
We love Bryana, she’s very responsive and flexible with scheduling Cali’s weekly walks. Cali is a senior girl and Bryana gives her the extra love and care she needs! She makes sure Cali gets all of the sniffs in during their walk as well as walking at whatever pace Cali needs that day. I HIGHLY recommend Bryana for any pet care needs!!
Amy is truly a dog-lover and takes the utmost care when walking or sitting my dog, Lucy. It’s apparent by just how excited Lucy is to see her! I’ve been lucky to have Amy as a neighbor, she’s very accommodating when i need to arrange a last minute walk. She always takes the cutest photos and sends updates - very thoughtful and considerate. I cannot recommend Amy enough.
Wendy’s great with Bebe! I love that she can always accommodate my last-minute requests. She has walked Bebe a few times, and Bebe always has a great time with her. Wendy always makes sure she’s okay after the walk and feeds her if needed. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newton Center on Rover is $32.19 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 11,036 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Newton Center. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Newton Center. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Newton Center.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newton Center. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
