We had a wonderful experience! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos—they kept us informed and reassured that our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear our dog received lots of attention and affection throughout the stay. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!

Coco had a great time with Su and enjoyed her vacation at his house. Su kept us updated daily and honestly I don’t think Coco wants to come home with us at the end of the week. Su is totally trust worthy and easy to work with. I won’t be looking for any other sitter to leave my daughter with but him! Thank you for being so loving and caring to Coco!

Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!

I was so nervous at first and Jennifer made me feel so comfortable with all of the updates over the weekend! I highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her again in the future!

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!

Dana is Awesome! I have a purebred German Shepherd and within 24 hours my boy was eating out of his hand. Literally. My German Shepherd is very hesitant towards human men, but not when it comes to Dana. He really knows his stuff. I appreciate that he sends a quick pic or video of their little outings. My big boy always comes back home happy and loved.

Shuping is one of the best “nanas” Cookie has ever had, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her through Rover. From the moment Cookie stayed with her, it was clear how much warmth, kindness, and genuine love she gives to the pets in her care. She treated Cookie as if she were her own, and that gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite things was receiving her sweet updates. She would send us adorable photos and videos and share little stories about Cookie’s day. The way she affectionately referred to Cookie as a “little rascal” always made us smile and showed just how much she cared for her. As pet parents, being away from your beloved pet can be difficult. Finding someone who loves, cares for, and cherishes your pet almost as much as you do is truly a blessing. That’s exactly what we found in Shuping. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive caregiver for their pet. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. We would happily trust Cookie with her again anytime.

Eddy has been doing an incredible job taking care of our 5mo old Vizsla! He has been able to be flexible in working around our schedule for pickup/dropoff on daycare days and for overnight boarding. He sends plenty of pictures throughout the days he has her to reassure us that our puppy was having fun and getting what she needs - we were honestly getting worried that she wasn't going to have missed us! When we get her back it's clear that she has gotten plenty of time to play and is usually out for the count most of the rest of the day. Definitely recommend going with Eddy if you have a dog that loves to play with other dogs!

Cannot speak highly enough of Eddy and his team! We have an 11-month-old goldendoodle (Waffles) who we needed to board for a week. It was his first time away from home without us — a new experience for our dog and a slightly nerve-racking one for me as a first-time dog owner. However, Eddy’s incredible care and service made this a smooth experience for both of us. He was kind enough to let us do a trial daycare run in advance so Waffles could get comfortable, gave us free pickup and drop-off, and made sure we got regular updates on how Waffles was doing. The updates in particular were fantastic. We got photos, videos, and were able to ask questions about how he was doing. It was incredibly fun and meaningful to follow his journey over the week from shy first-day-of-school vibes to forming an inseparable three musketeers trio with a maltipoo and corgi!! Waffles is back home now, tired and happy in the best of ways. Thank you, Eddy and team, for everything!!

Santina was wonderful. We’d never left our 11-month-old puppy for more than a single night, and Santina cared for her so well for a little over a week. Winnie came home in good spirits, looking healthy and happy. She even smelled nice! My family is so happy to have met Santina. Great sitter, super nice person.

Holly took great care of my dog Koda! She was very sweet, understanding, and patient. I could tell she has experience catering the different dogs needs and personalities, and has the ability to accommodate them and make them comfortable. Koda is a little anxious, and I think she did great with him and made us both very comfortable! She was also very flexible when I realized I was arriving from my trip a little later than expected. Overall great experience, thank you Holly!

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Newton Highlands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newton Highlands on Rover is $92.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,217 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newton Highlands. 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.

91% of Newton Highlands 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 Highlands 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 Highlands 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 Highlands.

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 Highlands 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.
