“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”
“Brianne was great with my dog. She was conscientious and communicative, and I appreciated her location and timing flexibility when our flight was delayed. Would definitely book again.”
“Thank you! Cindy (Shuhua) took care of my dog, who has complex health needs and takes medication 3 times a day. She was responsible and patient as I went over all my dog's care instructions and vet information. She sent regular photos and updates, and was careful to monitor for changes in my dog's health/behavior and report back to me. I am a devoted dog mom, and it's very important for me to have a sitter I can trust to take care of my dog properly so I feel comfortable being away. Cindy was just as wonderful as I had anticipated! Plus, she's a great baker! I will reach out again in the future for my pet care needs :)”
“Su was amazing and so caring with our senior French bulldog, bulldog. He was very attentive to our dog’s needs and communicated on a regular basis about her well being and food and water consumption. We felt like we had a very good idea of how she was doing while we were away on vacation. We are very grateful for his thoughtfulness- they got into a good rhythm and I think Frances really enjoyed her time with Su!”
“Gina was great! Winston seemed to love her and she was super helpful taking him last second! Would definitely consider using again and would recommend to others!”
“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!”
“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”
“Princess was excellent! She kept us well informed while we were away with photos everyday. And when something came up, she was very accurate with her description and handled it very well and with care. We will absolutely have Saela stay with her again.”
“Kira was a great sitter. This was Loki's first ever long stay and second time with Kira after a test run. They took wonderful care of him. Loki had a great time, he seemed happy and enjoying the company of Kira's family and other dogs. We were happy to see him in good health :-)”
“Highly recommend Miriam! She was able to watch Pretzel with only a few days notice and was more than willing to accommodate his separation anxiety. All this to say that Pretzel had a great time and we would definitely book with her again.”
“Yi was fantastic. Had great communication and could tell she really cared for our dog. We have a very nervous high energy dog and Yi made him and us feel incredibly comfortable. Consistent pictures and our dog loved hers. Would 100% book with Yi again and recommend t anyone.”
“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!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“Deirdre is amazing! She took wonderful care of my elderly dog while I was away for an extended period of time. Would recommend to others and definitely plan on returning! Thanks so much, Deirdre!”
“They provided excellent care, and sent plenty of photos/updates of my special needs dog while I was away on an extended trip. They were also very accommodating when I needed to extend my trip due to a delay. I cannot recommend them enough.”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Our 5 month old puppy did really well with Jess and her family. He was very well cared for. We got lots of updates. Jess was very easy to work with and clearly knows and loves dogs. We will use her again.”
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. It is on the 2nd floor via stairs. 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.
“Lindsay was very responsible and considerate. I could totally trust her for my pup to stay with Lindsay for two nights. My pup also seems to have enjoyed time with Bentley and Archie. Highly recommended!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Centre
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!
This is the second time we had Su take our boy Benny for boarding and he took amazing care of him again. We really appreciate his thoughtful updates and pictures and knew Benny was having a great time. Benny was happy and tired when we picked him up! We definitely recommend Su!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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 .
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.
