“Sara took wonderful care of Charlie and I would certainly leave him with her again. Even though he can be shy, Charlie took to Sara the first time he met her which put me right at ease. It was easy to communicate with her and it was so nice to receive pictures of them together. When I returned it was obvious that Charlie was well taken care of and that my condo was left as clean and neat as I left it!!”
“Meghan did an excellent job pet sitting our dog and cat. They were well taken care of, she sent pictures of them regularly so we didn't worry and she left our home in great condition. Highly recommend!”
“Marcy was a terrific sitter for Jasper! She took great care of him as well as our house while we were away. Marcy was a good communicator with us, sending us daily pics and updates, and she matched Jasper's vibe perfectly. I'd be happy to have her sit with him again!”
“Laura was so attentive to the needs of our dog, who has some medical issues. Won't hesitate to book her again. Her services provided us with a worry-free time away from home, knowing that our dog was getting the best of care.”
“Kathleen was an amazing sitter! Both my dog and my cat absolutely loved her. She sent a lot of photos and updates, which is very appreciated as I got to see what they were up to throughout the day. When I got back the house was spotless and our pets were tuckered out from playing with her. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Ali did an excellent job house-sitting and caring for our dog for 10 days while we were on vacation. Our pup is reactive and we have fairly specific protocols for dealing with that, and Ali was able to handle those well. We got lots of cute videos and updates during the week. It seemed like our dog was very comfortable and happy around Ali. Overall doggo seems like herself and our apartment was well cared for. We’re grateful to Ali and would book again!”
“Charlene was wonderful with our senior, wimpy, dog. She was very careful to care for him in a way that was respectful of his handicap. He took awhile to warm up to her, a full day, but her care and tenderness won him over. Thank you Charlene.”
“Marilyn treated our house and pups like her own. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise and the house was exactly how we left it. She communicates with lots of pictures and our dogs seemed very happy. Would recommend Marilyn to others and we plan on having her back (if she’ll have us) next time we go away”
“Victoria (Rev) did a fantastic job and I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. She was easy to communicate with prior to & during her stay and sent frequent updates and pictures of the pups. She stayed in my home & left it very clean- She even took out the trash which I didn’t expect her to do annd appreciated. My pups are kind of high maintenance (2 Maltese) & Rev did a fantastic job taking care of them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Sarah was amazing staying with my dogs during a 3 day worn trip. I've had some exceptionally bad experiences with sitters on this platform in the past and Sarah did a great job understanding my unease and accommodating my anxiety around leaving my dogs. I can't recommend her enough, she's a top tier pet sitter.”
“Linh is fantastic! She house sat for our two pups while we were on vacation for a week. I'm usually nervous about leaving our pups with a new sitter, especially after we had a bad experience with one (not thru Rover) a few years back. But Linh's knowledge and calm, confident demeanor instilled confidence in me so I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She sent updates and frequent photos throughout the week. Not only did she leave our house the way we left it, but she washed all of the sheets and towels which was not expected but very much appreciated. We will be using her again for our next vacation and I know the pups will be excited to see her again!”
“Chris seems like a very sweet and reliable person- he was universally very fast to respond to messages, kept in contact with us while we were away, and all our critters seemed very happy when we got home!”
About: Have taken care of friends’ dog whether for some hours or overnight. Only accept 1-2 dogs at times so the place will not be crowded. Generous in time when walking neighbors dog. Currently working part-time, with 2 grown up kids still need drop off & pick up from their respective school & work. Flexible time for dog care. Live in a fenced yard, we have a 6 yr black Lab who is gentle & love couch. Trustworthy, dependable for drop in visit and walk.
About: While I don’t have my own pet, I have been around and taken care of dogs quite often. I regularly take care of all my loved ones’ cats and have had cat sitting jobs as well. I’m a responsible and reliable doctoral graduate who will do a good job, and be sure to keep solid communication with clients! I currently work and study full time from home. I am quite flexible with my schedule and can often help out on weeknights and weekends too! I have an unfenced large yard as well as a large house. I can go on runs, (I’m an avid runner who ran cross country and track in high school!) and I absolutely love playing with dogs. My neighborhood is very friendly for dog walks, with fellow dog walkers around! I don’t have a dog or other pets, so no interactions would disrupt dog-sitting. I have three roommates who can give the dogs extra love :)
“If we could give Bianca 10 shining stars, we would! Bianca took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper, in our home. Bianca arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Bianca sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Bianca has our highest recommendation, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Bianca!!!!!”
“Jainah was great with my pup! She was responsive and totally on top of his care, including meds. It was great getting updates while I was out of town and she made sure to keep me informed when she was heading out. Would definitely recommend and use Jainah in the futute!”
“Our experience with Valentina was great. She was very responsive and communicative throughout both the planning process and during the housesitting stay, and was attentive and detail oriented in understanding Kaito's typical routine. She sent daily updates with pictures, which my partner and I definitely appreciated. Kaito was well cared for, happy, and relaxed when we returned home. We would definitely book with Valentina again!”
“Paige took great care of Gracie and provided lots of updates. She carefully followed all directions and clearly cares deeply for animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for your dog sitting needs :)”
About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, and over the past five years, I’ve also volunteered at several animal shelters. Through my shelter experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both dogs and cats by feeding them, playing with them, cleaning up after them, and, most importantly, giving them the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I truly believe that pets are an important part of our families and hold such a special place in our lives. Every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need. My goal is to make your time away easier by giving you peace of mind that your pets are in loving and dependable hands. I would be so happy to meet you and your pets and have the opportunity to become someone you can trust to care for them! During the week, I’m available to care for your pets before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM. On weekends, I have full availability and can accommodate any time that works best for you and your pet! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I provide fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and a comfortable space for them to rest. I also understand the importance of respecting my clients’ homes and always make sure to leave everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it.

Sarah was amazing staying with my dogs during a 3 day worn trip. I've had some exceptionally bad experiences with sitters on this platform in the past and Sarah did a great job understanding my unease and accommodating my anxiety around leaving my dogs. I can't recommend her enough, she's a top tier pet sitter.
Meghan was incredible. She took such amazing care of my dogs during a 3-might trip, I think they were sad I came home! They are going to miss her for sure. She administered their medicine, fed them, took them for walks, and played with them. Meghan sent me daily photos and videos and even made a video montage! It was such a pleasure having her and I’ll definitely be booking her again. I’d highly recommend Meghan to anyone with pets.
We’re very pleased with Corinne, who cared for our dog Luna during Labor Day weekend. She arrived early to get to know Luna, our home, and our routines, then spent time with us beforehand to document food, bedtime, and house rules so Luna stayed consistent and safe. When Luna was nervous about walks, Corinne asked for advice and used our suggestion to take her in the car to a new spot, which worked well. We received constant updates with photos of walks, meals, and bedtime, plus a detailed notebook on the counter tracking everything. We felt completely comfortable trusting Corinne with such an important family member—she was more reliable than a relative or neighbor. We’d definitely recommend Corinne to anyone seeking a loving, kind companion for their pet.
Lyna is excellent! She stayed at my house for a week caring for my 2 dogs and taking care of things around the house. She even moved my heavy plants into the garage during a storm. I’ve hired a lot of pet sitters over the years and Lyna is the best! feel lucky when she’s available.
Isis was outstanding. We had a trip planned and needed someone reliable and loving to watch our two dogs. We found that in Isis. I was able to enjoy the weekend without worrying about our dogs. We received updates with pictures and came back to a spotless home. Greeted with excited happy pups with full bellies. They couldn't wait to tell us about their slumber party weekend. Would highly recommend Isis.
Julia took phenomenal care of our two dogs. She walked them, played with them, took them to the dog park several times during our week+ vacation. She provided excellent updates and helped with a few other things that popped like some deliveries, our neighbor needing a key when locked out of their house and watering some plants. The dogs were well taken care of and we plan to use Julia again. She was very responsive and the house was clean when we returned. We can't thank Julia enough for giving us peace of mind and taking great care of our dogs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Newton Lower Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Newton Lower Falls is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $111 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Newton Lower Falls walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newton Lower Falls maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newton Lower Falls choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
