“Stephanie went above and beyond for my cats and house while we were away during a storm. She made sure all our patio furniture was safe from the wind without needing to ask. She also always brings in any mail we have without having to ask. She’s so thoughtful and we are so happy to have connected with her. My cats are so comfortable with her!”
About: I've cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments since childhood. I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and behavioral needs. Neighbors and friends trust me with their most beloved companions. I provide attentive, personalized care and regular photo updates to keep owners connected. I work from home, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have flexibility throughout the day for dog walks, feeding sessions, and playtime. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon play, I can accommodate your schedule and your dog's needs. My work from home setup means consistent, reliable care without gap. My home is a safe, welcoming space for dogs. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely. I'm experienced managing multiple dogs with different personalities and energy levels. All dogs in my care are supervised closely, with access to water, rest areas, and outdoor time. I maintain a calm, secure environment and follow each owner's specific instructions for feeding, medication, and behavior. Your dog will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own pets.
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!
About: Plenty of experience caring for pets. I'm a responsible and dependable person and have been a pet owner for most of life. Currently pet sitting to save some money for graduate school applications. - 18 years of growing up with 3 dogs, helping walk, feed, and play with them. Helping raise a half a dozen litters born in that time. - 8 years of dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and roommates. Including small dogs, large dogs, and puppies - Can go on long walks, do frequent potty and play breaks, and anything else a dog needs. I currently do research at Harvard Medical School as well act as a research coordinator for Mass General as I prepare for medical school and the MCAT. Most of my work and studying is remote, leaving me with plenty of time to interact with pets and go on walks in the gaps. I can provide a range of services for clients including house visits or house stays, providing frequent attention if needed. I do study and research for a lot of my time, and enjoy taking hourly breaks for 10-15 minutes in which case I can play with, walk, clean, or feed pets.
“Thank you for taking such good care of baby Leo. I missed him so much while I was away but knew he was in good hands. Leo hopes you’ll take care of him again next time I’m away. ❤️?⬛?”
About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day!

I currently work part time and am able to provide walks or board animals 7 days a week. I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week.

“Claudia is an amazing pet sitter. She's incredibly considerate of our skittish kitty. Giving her plenty of time and space to get comfortable. Thanks to her, Smokie, our adult cat, is in wonderful hands when we're away. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!”
“Charlene once again proved why she’s the only person we trust to care for our cat while we travel. During our recent trip to California to visit our son, she made sure our cat had consistent companionship, attention, and care throughout our time away. After years of using her services, we’ve come to rely on her not just for the essentials like food, water, and litter box maintenance, but for the genuine warmth and attentiveness she brings to every visit. Knowing our cat is in such loving hands makes it so much easier to be away and fully enjoy time with family. We can’t recommend Charlene highly enough.”

Had a fantastic experience with Olivia once again! She’s very reliable and I always appreciate her detailed write ups. My kitties have really warmed to her and trust her, showing how great of a sitter Olivia is. Will definitely book her again for any future trips!
Sue is a wonderful pet sitter! Sue has been looking after our cat, Sasha, for several years now. Sue is pleasant and professional. She is very flexible with her availability and is great at communicating. She always sends an update and photos after every check in. We plan to continue to use her services for as long as she is offering them and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.
Caroline is our go-to pet sitter on Rover. She takes wonderful care of our cats and is always giving us updates with pictures each visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newton Lower Falls is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $86 per visit. 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 11,202 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newton Lower Falls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newton Lower Falls. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
