“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!!”
“Emily was so great with my cat! She paid a lot of attention to his behaviors and I could see he was having a good time when she sent update photos. We booked her for housesitting, and she did a perfect job. Would recommend her!”
“Hannah was absolutely wonderful with Oliver! From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented, even offering to do a meet and greet ahead of time so we could make sure it was a good fit and walk through all of Oliver’s needs and routines. While we were gone, she sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. She gave him tons of love and cuddles and even took the time to brush him out! Our travel plans were unfortunately a little all over the place, and Hannah navigated more than one schedule change with so much grace and flexibility, which we really appreciated. She also took wonderful care of our home. Everything looked great when we returned, and she even stripped the bed before leaving. Most importantly, it was obvious that Oliver was comfortable, happy, and very loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take amazing care of their furry family member!”
“Lindsay was very thoughtfully and an exceptional communicator while taking care of my dog! I came home to a happy pup and well cared for home and I’m so grateful!”
“Alexander was amazing! He was very caring towards our dogs and our apartment. He followed our instructions and was very good at keeping us updated with messages and pictures. One of our dogs had a medical emergency right before our trip and he was quick to adapt to her needs and willing to administer medication. He was on top of reaching out for any issues and we felt like our dogs were in very good hands. We’d love to book with him again for our next trip!”
About: Hello! I grew up with dogs and cats, and now I live with two dogs and three cats. My house is a little chaotic, but I love it. I’ve been walking dogs in Newton and all over NYC for the past few years, and it’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the day. Dogs get hyped about the simplest stuff, and I’m usually just as into it as they are. I also speak fluent cat, so I can tell when they want snuggles and when they just want to be left alone. I do drop-in visits and evening care, and I like learning what makes each pet unique: their routine, their favorite toys, their weird quirks. I’ll follow your instructions, send photos and updates, and treat your pet like one of my own. Message me and we can set up a meet-and-greet. I’d love to meet your pet! I’m a student with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I can work around your pet’s needs, whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or an evening check-in. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions carefully and supervise pets at all times, making sure their needs are met. I also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while away. With experience caring for cats, dogs, and small pets, I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and wellbeing.
“Melissa was great! She watched our beagle last minute for an entire day, who is often shy and scared of strangers and she warmed right up to her. We felt good knowing our girl was in such great care. We would definitely recommend and book Melissa again!”
“We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!”
“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!”
“Jackie was amazing. She gets on very well with our dog and Jackie was extremely flexible and helpful when we had to extend her dog sitting when we got stuck in a snow storm. Would absolutely recommend.”
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.
“Arshneel was amazing. She kept our pup calm and happy the whole time we were away, even giving her medication without any issues (which is huge since she’s pretty anxious). We came home to a clean house and a very content dog. Couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“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.”
“Hannah was amazing! She showed so much care for my senior pup, who’s a very anxious puppers! Hannah sent pictures everyday and was responsive to messages quicker than expected. I will be booking Hannah again!”

morgan was so incredible with my pups! i have an anxious dog and a high energy dog and she handled both their temperaments so well. i got frequent photos and my house was left so neatly which was great to come home to. will be using morgan again asap + would recommend her to anyone!

J is such a great cat sitter!! Highly recommend!! She clearly has a lot of experience with cats and I could tell my cats were happy and relaxed with her in every pic (and there were so many pics!!!). I will definitely reach out to J for more cat sitting in the future!
Julia was absolutely amazing! She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she kept our house spotless while we were away. She was incredibly friendly and loving with our dogs and cat, and both Julia and her sister Elizabeth were wonderful with all of our pets. They followed all of our instructions carefully and even stayed later than planned when our flight was delayed, which we appreciated so much. You are truly in great hands leaving your babies with them. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were being so well cared for. 10/10 recommend Julia and Elizabeth, and we would absolutely book with them again!
Olivia was wonderful! My cat is a very social, affectionate guy - he really needs companionship when I have to travel as he can sometimes get ibd flair ups when he is stressed, and I can tell she kept him in excellent company. He was perfectly calm and happy when I got back. I really appreciated Olivia taking the time to do an intro visit; she is friendly and professional, and struck an immediate friendship with my cat - it's always a little scary to leave your pet with a new sitter, but it was easy to trust Olivia with him upon first meeting her. She sent check in texts and photos. We look forward to booking with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Newton Upper Falls is $100 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $59 and $128 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 Upper 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 Upper 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 Upper 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.
