“Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!”

“Our beloved pet sitter/dog walker of 10 years moved, so finding a new person to trust to come into our home and care for our dog and cat was a daunting process filled with much anxiety. Leanne exceeded all of our expectations. She so lovingly cared for Zoe & Athena we honestly felt they probably were a little sad when we came home and she could no longer visit them, twice a day. She communicated with us at least twice daily, with reports on how they were doing and so many pictures. It was a wonderful, comforting experience and we cannot wait to have her watch our two furry friends, again. Thank you, Leanne!”

About: I’m not just a dog lover—I’m a proud dog mom of 9 years! I know how much your pup means to you because I feel the same way about mine. I bring the same care, attention, and love to every walk and drop-in as I do with my own dog, Dobby. I currently have a hybrid work schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays. So Mondays and Fridays are pretty open. Tuesdays and Thursdays I would be available after 6pm so please feel free to message me if interested. Weekends I am available! When I drop in to care for your pet, I treat your home and your furry friend with the same respect and love I give my own. I always follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I keep things calm and comforting for your pup, so they feel safe and happy.

When there was a medical situation, she informed me which made me feel like my pets were in good hands. Will definitely be using Deirdre for my pet care needs in the future!”

About: I have had pets my entire life - from dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, gerbils - and as a user of Rover for my own doggies, I would love to offer my services to those who entrust this app with their loved ones as I do. I currently am in between jobs and have much availability. I am available mornings, afternoons, and some evenings. I can do visits and give lots of love, or take long walks. I have a grown son who is thriving in the world and am very responsible and trustworthy. I also had a cat growing up names Sweetie - current pup is a Frenchie named Thor! I am new to Rover and look forward to caring for your pet/s. With only a little bit of notice, I can be available. I also have caretakers on this site that I use for my own guy who is a French bulldog. I also used to have a miniature schnauzer most recently who sitters on this site used to walk too. I am most willing to care for your pets as you wish and can share photos and videos or whatever would make you comfortable. Our pets are part of our family, so I understand the serious responsibility that comes with the seemingly light type of role. I look forward to engaging with you and your pets.

About: I am a full-time working professional. I have previous experience caring for dogs and would love to take care of yours! I am planning to get a Pomeranian within the near future and grew up with an Afghan hound. I have experience dog sitting as many as three dogs at a time. I currently can not accommodate for pets to stay with me, but I am more than willing to dog sit at the dog’s home. Please feel free to reach out to me! Thank you. :) I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability on my work-from-home days, as well as throughout the weekends. This allows me to be accommodating with scheduling and dedicate quality time and attention to your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to help ensure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I make sure to follow the instructions for caretaking and I am attentive to the pet’s needs at all times. I try my best to stick to the schedule that the pet is used to for predictability.

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.

About: I have been animal sitting and dog walking since it was my middle school job, and I pride myself on caring for others’ pets as though they were my own. I volunteered with a Vermont humane society for 7 months this year, performing morning kennel maintenance, feeding, socializing, and turnout of the shelter dogs. I work full time, but in a hybrid position. I’ll be able to stop by on my breaks, and if they like cats, they can come hang in the “home office” for a bit! I meet pets where they’re at and try to understand their personality and body language before going anywhere with them. As I get to know your pet, I’ll be able to more accurately assess things like their mood or if they’re in any pain. My priority is the safety and happiness of your furry friend, just like yours!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Newton Upper Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newton Upper Falls is $39 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $50 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 11,097 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newton Upper 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 Upper 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.
