“Brianne took wonderful care of our minipoodle, Percy. She was very easy to reach and flexible when the snow storm through off our schedule, which was helpful. We will definitely reach out again!”
“Tomoe was so great! She is very thorough in her updates to know your pup is well taken care of. I’m always very nervous about having someone watch my dog because of his reactivity but it is very clear she knows what she is doing and follows the instructions provided! So glad I found a sitter I can trust!”
“Thankyou Jen and Robert for hosting Ginger twice in December. When we leave her with you, we can always count on her being safe and loved, while having a great time with your family. Thanks again.”
“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.
“Hanna and her Mom were great with our pugs. They sent pictures and updates when requested. Our dogs seemed happy and healthy when we picked them up. Thank you so much!”
“Thank you Alex so much for taking care of Moab during July 4th weekend. Alex accommodated short notice boarding and very flexible with pickup/drop off time. 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!”
“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!”
“Dino had a great stay! We got so many updates, and it was obvious that Dino was very relaxed immediately. Yick-hong was also very flexible when our flight was delayed and we needed to extend Dino’s stay. Definitely will be back!”
“Betsy is wonderful! Penny had such a good time that it was hard to get her to come home with me. Betsy is a great communicator, has a lovely home and yard for the dogs, and clearly dedicated to ensuring the dogs in her care are happy and loved.”
“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!”
“Arnav was a great sitter for Snoopy. Snoopy loved staying with Arnav and his family. They even took Snoopy to Starbucks to get him a pup cup. Arnav sent me pictures of Snoopy every day while I was away, and I could tell from the pictures that Snoopy was super happy at Arnav's house. If I decide to leave Snoopy in someone's care again, I won't hesitate to contact Arnav.”
“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!”
“Our dog Gus has stayed with Sue many times and he absolutely adores her! Almost as much as we do :) She is amazing with him and we always know he’s in great hands when he spends time at her house.”
About: Hello! We’re Emma and Evan. We have dog sat and dog walked consistently for 6+ years. We are new to the Newton area, and are eager to recreate the dog sitting/walking community we built in our last community (DC). Big dogs, small dogs, puppies, senior dogs, energetic dogs, lazy dogs, we love all dogs! When you hire us, you get two dog lovers ready to care for your pup. We are highly responsible and happy to follow your directions carefully to ensure your pup has an enjoyable & safe time. We have a dog of our own - Sicily, a 3-year-old, 30-lb, Border Collie/Shiba Inu mix. Sicily loves dogs and humans. If your dog likes other dogs, they’re more than welcome at our house! If your dog prefers being away from other dogs, we’re happy to walk him/her without Sicily. Whatever works for you, works for us! We are available full time for boarding/walking. Evan is a PhD student at Boston College, and Emma works from home full time. We each have cars and are very active. We live in a 3 bedroom home with a private backyard, and we live around the corner from a fully fenced in park. We are very energetic people, which is why we chose a high-energy dog for ourselves. We love playing with dogs, taking dogs with us in the car and on adventures, and building activities that are dog friendly into our social calendar. We’ve consistently dog sat/walked dogs with all types of personalities, behavioral quirks, fears, and health needs. We are comfortable learning your dog’s rhythm and making sure they can thrive under our care!
“Lyn is fantastic, she has watched our greyhound Arrow multiple times and we will definitely trust her again in the future. Our first night away, Arrow was up all night throwing up. She did a great job taking care of him, feeding him boiled chicken and rice and keeping us updated on how he was doing. She is great and we highly recommend her.”
“Dana and Nia took great care of my pup - I appreciated how ready they were for drop off and pick up, and I liked the photos/videos they shared as well. I recommend booking with Dana!”
“This was at least the 4th time (I lost count) Melissa has taken care of our beloved attention seeking, affectionate, squirrel chasing beautiful dog. Melissa is kind and thoughtful. She proactively offered extra days when our flight was cancelled due to snow! She takes extraordinarily good care of our dog. I can’t praise her enough!”
“Casey was amazing with our dogs, Cloe (7) and Luna (12)! It was our first time leaving them with someone outside the family, and she made us feel completely at ease. She even invited us to her home before the stay to help them transition smoothly. We got regular updates during our trip, and when she brought them home, they were clearly happy and well cared for. We’re so thankful and will absolutely book with Casey again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Lower Falls
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.

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.

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.
