“Ralphie had a great time with Brianne! She was super responsive and sent many cute photos! I had a great peace of mind while traveling abroad. We are excited for Ralphie to stay there again soon!!”
“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”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. My experience includes helping with dog deliveries, caring for dogs at shows, basic training, and looking after cats, rabbits, sugar gliders, and other small pets. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, keeping pets active, maintaining clean spaces, and adjusting to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also believe in keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m generally available Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 6 PM, with some flexibility depending on the service. I welcome both regular and occasional bookings and am happy to discuss your pet’s schedule to make sure I can provide the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn about each pet’s personality, habits, health needs, and daily routine before caring for them. I carefully check doors and gates, keep dogs safely leashed outdoors, and never leave pets unattended in an unsecured yard. I follow feeding instructions, respect household rules, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, welcoming environment with supervised outdoor time. I also make sure pets from different households are a good match before allowing them to interact. Regular photo updates are always part of my care, so you’ll know how your pet is doing.
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“Holly was wonderful! Milo had a great stay with Holly and her family, and loved the company of her adorable doodle River. She sent daily photos and was very easy to communicate with. I felt at ease knowing that Milo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“After having to cancel twice due to illness in the family, we were finally able to leave our puppy with Kira for the weekend. We had a fantastic experience. Kira was very proactive in sharing updates and pictures, and our dog seemed to have a wonderful time. Kira was also very understanding with the multiple reschedules; all in all, a great experience. Highly recommend.”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”
“Natasha is a wonderful person, so calm and organized. Our meet & greet with her went so well, and I was at ease leaving our dog with her while we traveled! While we were out, she provided regular updates and photos, which was so nice. Our dog was happy and relaxed during her stay with Natasha, even though it was her first time away from home! Thank you so much, Natasha! ❤️”

“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!”
“Nalix is amazing with our dog Charcoal, who is usually very sensitive and has separation anxiety. We trust her completely and Nalix sends regular photos and videos in which Charcoal is having the best time. Nalix is always communicative and willing to be flexible if we are running late from delayed flights or traffic. We recommend Nalix wholeheartedly!”

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!

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.
