“Briane was fabulous to work with. We had an unexpected family need requiring help with our dog and Briane was so helpful in making our complicated arrangements. Our pup seemed to have a wonderful stay and we received photo updates along the way. Will definitely use again!”
“Eric lived up to his very positive reviews: sensitive to our (very few) concerns, sending daily updates and photos, easy to communicate with--in short, everything one would hope for. His dog Snickers was an extra bonus.”
“Tomoe and her family took great care of our Max and sent lots of pics and videos of him enjoying himself and getting lots of cuddles! We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”
“Yulia was wonderful! Her daughter was there and she was great as well. My dog is usually straining to get out the door whenever I come to pick him up from a sitter. But with Yulia, he was very comfortable and relaxed both times. I was very happy and comfortable leaving him with her 😁❤️”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
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.
“Pamela and Yocheved were amazing with Susie. They provided excellent care, spoiled her, and provided notes and observations about her when I came to pick her up. They were amazing. 10/10.”
“We had to leave our dog for 17 days. We've never left him anywhere for more than a week. so, we looked very carefully for the right home, and we found it. When we finally picked him up, he looked happy and relaxed. Holly sent us photos and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy to have found a family we could trust with our pet. And now we have a place we can leave him when we need to go off on our own. Big win. Thanks, Holly & family & River.”
“Paige was a wonderful sitter for my Boston Terrier Mabel. She took Mabel for long walks each day, gave lots of cuddles, and sent lots of updates with photos. Would book her again! Thank you Paige for taking such good care of Mabel.”
“Sara was great. I had an emergency and needed a sitter earlier than we had planned. She readily agreed to take Abby for the extra days before and after the original booking. As usual, Abby was happy and treated like the princess she knows she is!”
“Yi was fabulous! She took great care of our ragdoll kitten, Pudding. She is incredibly responsive and sends multiple pictures and videos every day. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Arnav did a great job. Buck had a hot spot arise right before my travel. He came home after my trip with significant healing accomplished. He went to his stay a bit anxious, not quite himself, and when I picked him up from Arnav, he was at ease. Arnav communicated regularly and well. He sent pictures. He asked questions. We discussed how to treat Bucks hot spot, and made some decisions together from a distance that worked well. Highly recommend Arnav for your dog.”
“Alan & Ying were wonderful, attentive, and took such great care of Charli while we were away! ❤️ We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos, along with the extra attention they gave to cleaning her eyes. Charli seemed so happy, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands — we truly appreciate everything and would highly recommend Alan & Ying and plan on using them again!”
“For us, Paul is the gold standard of dog sitters. He is attentive, communicative, and experienced, which lets us really be at ease when we’re away from our dog. Dougie bonded with him so quickly over his short weekend stay! You can tell Paul is a dog lover through and through and your dog will be so happy to get to spend time with him while you’re away. We’ve had Paul dog sit for us for years now and he will continue to be the first person we reach out to when we need a sitter.”
“Thank you so much, Michiko and Cliff, for taking such incredible care of our Suki while we were away. Your love, patience, understanding, and daily updates made all the difference and gave us complete peace of mind. We are truly grateful for everything you did, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Upper 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!
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.
Kim is one of the kindest and sweetest people ever. She took excellent care of my pups, communicated well, and sent photos throughout the day. She has earned my trust, and I plan to use her as my dogs’ primary dog sitter. Thank you for taking care of Lucky and Petunia; they had such a great time and will miss you and your family!
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.

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 Upper 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 Upper 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 Upper 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 Upper 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.

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.
