“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting Robert and his family to watch over my dog Simba, and I couldn't be more delighted with the care and attention he received. From start to finish, this dog sitting experience was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout my dog's stay, I received regular updates with photos from, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was in great hands. I could see from the pictures that my dog was enjoying himself during his stay. In addition to his exceptional care, Robert is an excellent communicator, and was always prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dog sitter. He provided a loving and safe environment for my dog, and I will not hesitate to book Rover services again in the future with him. Thank you so much Robert, for taking such wonderful care of Simba and making him feel at home.”
“Holly was wonderful! Milo had a great stay with Holly and her family, and loved the company of her adorable doodle River. She sent daily photos and was very easy to communicate with. I felt at ease knowing that Milo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“We are very happy to have found Jing, someone who genuinely cares and loves our dog, Nara. It was Nara's first time boarding and a long duration of over a week. We were quite nervous but Jing had done everything to ensure us that Nara would be OK. And indeed, Nara was happy and well taken care of. We received photos with short reports daily. We'd highly recommend Jing and yes, we will use her service again. Thank you once again, Jing :)”
“Copper seemed to enjoy his stay very much with Yulia and her family. Every picture she sent us showed a happy, well-cared for pup! Yulia was concerned with Copper being comfortable and happy during his stay, which we definitely think he was.”
“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!”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Thank you! Cindy (Shuhua) took care of my dog, who has complex health needs and takes medication 3 times a day. She was responsible and patient as I went over all my dog's care instructions and vet information. She sent regular photos and updates, and was careful to monitor for changes in my dog's health/behavior and report back to me. I am a devoted dog mom, and it's very important for me to have a sitter I can trust to take care of my dog properly so I feel comfortable being away. Cindy was just as wonderful as I had anticipated! Plus, she's a great baker! I will reach out again in the future for my pet care needs :)”
“Kristina was great with my 3 month old puppy. This was the first time I boarded her so I was nervous. But all my fears went away quickly. Her dog was great with my puppy and I received several photos and videos during her stay. Will be using again!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with my dog during his one-day stay! From the moment I dropped him off, she made both of us feel comfortable and welcomed. She was attentive, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she sent me updates and photos showing how happy and relaxed my pup was in her care. It was clear she gave him lots of attention, playtime, and affection, and he came home content and tired from such a fun day. I really appreciated how communicative and professional Elizabeth was—she made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely trust her to care for my dog again in the future!”
“Lorena and her boyfriend took great care of my boys. They were more than willing to provide the extra care and attention my 16 year old senior dog needs and extra exercise for my younger, more energetic dog. I would highly recommend Lorena for any of your dog care needs.”
“Coco had a great time with Su and enjoyed her vacation at his house. Su kept us updated daily and honestly I don’t think Coco wants to come home with us at the end of the week. Su is totally trust worthy and easy to work with. I won’t be looking for any other sitter to leave my daughter with but him! Thank you for being so loving and caring to Coco!”
“Michiko and Cliff were great. They sent me pictures and updates every day and took great care of Henry! They were very easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“Yick -hong is fantastic. My dog has some stranger danger, so I’m always nervous with new boarders, but he seemed to feel right at home. Lots of pics and updates, highly recommend.”
“Guillermo is the best. He took very good care of our dog during our 2 weeks trip. He is gentle and patient with our anxious dog. He also gives us photos and updates everyday. Would definitely recommend him to people for pet sit next time!”
“Kira and Steve were terrific looking after our dog. They are professional, very accommodating, with great communication and clearly love dogs. Will definitely be using again.”
“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!”

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!
Jun Ho and Hanna always make Petunia feel at home. She spent a full day with them and their dog, Boki, and was so comfy she had to be called multiple times before she came out to go home (it was late and she had already settled onto the couch to snooze). That's how comfy, cozy, and safe she felt!
Lee and her entire family are incredible dog sitters and treated Darla like their own! She warmed up to them right away and loved the fully fenced in yard. Lee was very responsive and provided daily updates and photos of her time with them. I cannot recommend them enough!
Amazing boarding service! So genuinely loving and caring sitters. My dog, Luke (10), had his own vacation in their home while we were away for 8 nights - lounging around in their bed (!) and chasing after the bunnies in their yard. They are very attentive and responsive, sending us lots of photos and messages about his "vacation". We will definitely return!
Mayra was very lovely to work with and was SUPER flexible and accommodating. I was kind of a pain in the butt given all my schedule changes 😂. But she was more than happy to accommodate with watching Kira. Took a load of stress off knowing my pup was in good hands and i didnt have to worry. She also provided tons of pictures and kept me up to date on how she was doing. Definitely recommend her to anyone!
Eddy was absolutely wonderful with our Birdie while we were away for a wedding! He sent us tons of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. Even more wonderfully, when our return flight was delayed, Eddy kindly and graciously kept Birdie for one extra night without hesitation. We were so grateful for his flexibility and understanding! The pickup and drop-off were also tremendous—everything was seamless, easy, and incredibly convenient. It’s clear that Eddy genuinely cares about the dogs in his care, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely trust him with Birdie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful, reliable, and caring sitter! I think we have found our go-to sitter!
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.
Danielle put me and my anxious dog Josey at ease right away when we met her and her dog Moose. It is clear that Danielle loves dogs and is a skilled communicator with them. Josey enjoyed her weekend stay very much. Danielle sent updates and photos each day, and the drop off and pickup arrangements were easy. She is a great find!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newtonville on Rover is $53.2 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newtonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Newtonville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Newtonville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newtonville 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 Newtonville.
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 Newtonville 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. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
