“Elizabeth and Rodrigo took amazing care of our dog while we were away for 6 days. He’s getting older and can be a little anxious, but he was totally comfortable in their home. They sent us tons of photos too, which we loved since we missed him. I’d absolutely recommend them as dog sitters.”
“Even though I have never left my dog with a pet sitter before and was nervous about leaving him, Yulia put my mind at ease when I met her. I would definitely leave him with her again.”
“Helen and Ji are so good with boy. They gave me videos and pics throughout the day. Cornelius came back running and playful, all the signs of a happy dog. They are my only doggysitters from now on!”
“Deirdre is amazing! She took wonderful care of my elderly dog while I was away for an extended period of time. Would recommend to others and definitely plan on returning! Thanks so much, Deirdre!”
“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!
“Our dog Lincoln had an amazing time with Stefan and his family. I was very nervous to leave him, as we recently moved to Arlington. I shouldn’t have worried at all! Stefan eased my mind by sending me pictures and updating me on what he was doing. After a day, I started thinking that Lincoln was on a vacation! He got love, he played with other dogs, got exercise, and at night was snuggled in bed. His stay exceeded my expectations, and I would leave Lincoln with them anytime. He had a great time. Thank you Stefan and family! I hope Lincoln can come back! ?❤️ And thank you for his little doggie bag!”
“Gina did a wonderful job taking care of Theo! I appreciated her communication and updates! It made me so happy to so see that Theo was content and comfortable with her.”
“Ismael was wonderful. He sent us pictures of our dog every day. Our dog was clearly enjoying his time playing with the 3 other dogs Ismael was caring for. His home and large securely fenced yard is perfect for dogs. We will definitely bring our dog to Ismael again whenever we need our dog boarded.”
“Lyn is such a professional! She did a lovely job taking care of our little Yorkie for two nights. She even bought him a new toy for extra fun. Thank you so much, Lyn!!”
“Jess was an amazing pet-sitter. The walks and family time were just what our dog loves. He came home happy and well-rested and not exhausted like he usually does when boarded at a kennel-type facility. He enjoyed the love and attention he received, as well as the interaction with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Jess again!”
“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. 🙏🐾”
“Kevin took terrific care of Snow during a business trip. He was super-responsive and sensitive to her needs. Snow loved the company of his puppy Skye, whose name just happens to coincide with that of her deceased sister (who was a corgi not a husky)!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Michelle and her son extended to Clare. Michelle exuded confidence right off the bat as a pet lover. And when our flight was delayed, she was non-pulsed when we needed her to keep Clare for an extra, unplanned overnight. We look forward to calling on Michelle again!”
“Amazing experience boarding my dog. My senior dog is blind/deaf and was given wonderful attention. He had a huge fenced-in yard to explore at his own pace and I had regular updates with great pictures. I will book again if I need boarding, and highly recommend their services. Thank you for taking such good care of my little guy!”
“Thank you Alex so much for taking care of Moab during July 4th weekend. Alex accommodated short notice boarding and very flexible with pickup/drop off time. Tons of update pictures he sent throughout the days. No issues with the stay whatsoever. I trust Alex caring for my senior dog. I will definitely use Alex next time when I’m out of town. No doubt!”
“Kathryn and her husband took awesome care of my two dogs. Taking them on plenty of fun walks and runs. You can tell they really love dogs. We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Archer was in great hands with Eric! Excellent communication and trustworthy. He had a great time, got lots of exercise, and we would totally book with Eric again. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newtonville
Katya was great! We had very specific requests and needs for our pup and were worried about leaving him. She was very detailed and made sure to ask many questions so she could understand what was required. She made us feel at ease and promised to take good care of him. She is supper friendly and clearly loves dogs. We got a few pictures and updates. As parents it’s never enough but if we had communicated she would have been happy to send more I am sure. He was healthy and very happy when we picked him up so a great stay. We would book again.
Sean is wonderful! He is a true dog lover and provides a safe and loving home for visiting dogs. Our young rescue dog can be nervous in new situations, but Sean was so kind and patient with her. With his help, she was able to adjust to her new surroundings and have a great time with Sean and the other dogs. Great experience!
Eddy and team made this one of the best boarding experiences we've ever had. From the very first meet, it was obvious he genuinely loves what he does. He took the time to properly get to know Xena, our Doberman, understanding her personality and needs. Agreeing to a trial night first meant so much to us, it showed he wanted Xena to be comfortable, not just booked in. He picked her up and dropped her off himself, and throughout the day we were spoiled with photos and updates that had us smiling every time our phones buzzed. You could just tell Xena was happy and having the time of her life. Then our flight got delayed, and without missing a beat, Eddy offered to keep her an extra night, no fuss, no stress, just genuine care. That kind of flexibility and warmth is rare. We left feeling so grateful to have found him. Eddy isn't just a sitter, he's someone who treats your dog like family. We'll be booking with him every time, and we can't recommend him enough!

Adrienne is a wonderful dog sitter!! My dog Petey stayed with Adrienne for boarding and he was well taken care of and given lots of love! Adrienne is kind, caring, professional, and communicative! She shared updates and pictures all throughout his stay. I highly recommend Adrienne for pet care!
Kathy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was very accommodating timing wise for a meet and greet with her pup. Throughout my dog’s stay with her, she sent lots of photos and updates. My dog seemed so happy to be there and seemed like she had an awesome time. I plan on using Kathy again in the future!! Thank you Kathy!
Natasha and Josh were great with Dino! They were very thorough when we met them during our meet-and-greet and immediately put us at ease. They sent lots of updates and even did extra indoor enrichment activities with Dino during a crazy heatwave. He had his own vacation while we were away!!
We had a wonderful experience! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos—they kept us informed and reassured that our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear our dog received lots of attention and affection throughout the stay. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!
Holly took great care of my dog Koda! She was very sweet, understanding, and patient. I could tell she has experience catering the different dogs needs and personalities, and has the ability to accommodate them and make them comfortable. Koda is a little anxious, and I think she did great with him and made us both very comfortable! She was also very flexible when I realized I was arriving from my trip a little later than expected. Overall great experience, thank you Holly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Newtonville on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,344 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newtonville. About 91% of Newtonville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
