“My dog had a great time with Jen, Robert, and Marcelline. His daily pictures showed me he was so happy. He loves making doggy friends. They were very flexible and picked up and dropped off my dog and let me extend a day when I got stranded. I'm so glad I was able to board him in a safe and happy home.”

“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”

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.

Tons of update pictures he sent throughout the days. No issues with the stay whatsoever. I trust Alex caring for my senior dog. I will definitely use Alex next time when I’m out of town. No doubt!”

“We were abroad when we suddenly needed doggie care, so I reached out to Maddy, and she responded immediately! She did a fantastic job caring for our sweet 6 year old lab. She sent plenty of amazing photos and updates, which made us feel completely at ease, especially since this was our first time using Rover. Maddy was communicative, friendly, and made sure our dog got plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. It was clear he was incredibly well cared for and absolutely loved his time with her! I would highly recommend Maddy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We will absolutely be boarding our dog with her again!”

About: I used to volunteer at a hursing home, pet-sit for friends and extended family, as well as neighbors and former classmates throughout the years since high school. Have flexibility for pet-sitting for up to week or two stretches at a time throughout certain parts of the year when I have the house alone to myself. At our house, pets and furry critters are warm, dry, safe, and secure with nutritious, whole-foods available, not just ultra-processed kibble from a cardboard box.

Brianne took such great care of our dog Kona! This was the first time Kona had ever stayed with a non-family member. Kona is a bit anxious and shy so I wasn’t sure how she would adapt. But Brianne is well experienced and clearly loves animals. She made Kona feel right at home. I appreciated the frequent updates (with photos!) and constant communication. I know Kona had a great stay because when I picked her up she seemed completely at ease in Brianne’s home. I will definitely use her again!

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!

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.

We had such a wonderful experience with Sana! Since we were traveling abroad, she went above and beyond by driving to pick up our Floofy from another sitter and caring for her for the remainder of our trip. She sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, we could tell how loved and well cared for Floofy was by how happy and comfortable she seemed when we picked her up! We’re so grateful to Sana and would absolutely recommend her! ❤️🐾

She took good care of Minnie while I was away for over a week. Everything went smoothly, and I had no issues during her stay. Communication was fine overall, although I would have appreciated more regular updates and photos without having to ask. Overall, she was reliable and I would consider using her again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Newton Lower Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Newton Lower Falls is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $85 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 4,276 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newton Lower Falls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Lower Falls 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 Lower Falls 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 Lower Falls.

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 Lower Falls. 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 Lower Falls 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.
