“Hanna did great with our dog. We had an emergency situation and had to fly out of town. She was flexible with our flights/ times. She sent us updates often(we were worried because we didn’t have time for a meet and greet) with pictures which gave us peace of mind. She didn’t mind his need to sleep in the bed. When my husband went to pick him up he was excited to see him but then ran back in the house ! So I would say that was a happy dog! Will use Hanna next time We have to travel”
“Shuhua is very caring and takes good care of my dog. She is responsive and considerate- she always sent the photos of my dog to keep me updated. I recommend her.”
“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.”

“All went well with Buttercup’s stay with Michelle while we were away for 5 days, and Buttercup came home contented and well cared for.

Buttercup was beyond thrilled to see her show up at her house which tells me that she was well cared for. We would definitely use Michelle again!”

“We left our 1.5-year-old Sheltie with Betsy for a long weekend and she was fantastic! Betsy responded quickly to questions, took our notes/suggestions into account during the visit, and sent us updates/pictures throughout the visit. Our dog came home happy, sleepy, and of course healthy!”

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paula to my friend’s and we are already planning on using Paula for a two week we have coming up soon.”

“Paul was an excellent host/sitter for my 13 year old Jack Russell. He spent time with me and Benny upon drop off. I instantly sensed his expertise and comfort with her. I was at ease leaving her with him. Paul understood my concerns for my dog while in his care. I liked his confidence and handling Benny during this meet and greet on this first 24 hour stay. Paul sent a couple of texts and a pic of how things were going and I appreciated his matter of fact information sharing. I was totally pleased with this first experience of leaving Benny with an unfamiliar person and home. Couldn’t have gone better for all involved. Definitely will try for Paul for any future needs and I highly recommend Paul to others.”

About: I’ve been an animal caretaker since I was 12 years old (a decade of experience!). I’ve worked with a variety of animals from different backgrounds and age groups including dogs and cats but also birds and reptiles. I have experience both working in doggy day care and shelter environments in addition to a more classic animal caretaker role like walking and boarding. I’m currently in college so my schedule is pretty open with lots of time to spend caring for your fuzzy friends. I’m currently a college student taking classes so I’ll have plenty of time to be at hone with your pet. I can begin boardings on Thursday afternoon and do pick ups Sunday evening. Happy to work out a longer stay if necessary. I have a park across from my house to take your furry friends to play. If I’m not at home my roomates usually are so your dog won’t be alone for very long.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Newton Centre is $65
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Centre
Elaine is awesome! We recently went overseas and were honestly pretty nervous about leaving Gavin for that long, but she completely put our minds at ease. She’s super responsive, responsible, professional, sent consistent and amazing pictures throughout the stay, and is just overall friendly and easy to work with. We also really appreciated her flexibility in coming to pick him up so we could focus on getting ready for the trip. Very happy with the stay—and so was Gavin. We’ve been looking for a go-to sitter for a while now, and Elaine is definitely at the top of that list!
Michelle was wonderful. She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. As a nervous first-time puppy owner, I asked if we could arrange a meet-and-greet so I could meet her, her son, and see the space where Bailey would be staying. Michelle was completely open to that, and spending a little time there beforehand made me feel very comfortable. On the day of the stay, I initially planned to leave Bailey for just a short time, but Michelle was completely flexible when I needed to extend it. Bailey came home very happy, which made me feel great about the experience. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and look forward to having Bailey stay with her 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!

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.

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.
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 Centre 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 Centre 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 Centre.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newton Centre. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Newton Centre 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
