“This is the second time Jennifer has watched our pup Tashi. She was also able to watch his buddy Murphy, a 13 year old Wheaten Terrier. Murphy is an older pup and needed additional care with more frequent potty outings, 3 different daily hand fed medication, and extra belly rubs! Jennifer did it all and more. She is great with the pups and reached out frequently with questions to ensure things were done correctly. She sends photos and updates through the day. It is so nice and relaxing to know your pup will be well taken care of when you have to be away from them.”
“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!”
“Kim treats my dog Ziggy with care and affection - and her 2 dogs are perfect companions/company for Ziggy to play with. She really understands the needs of dogs and I feel 100% comfortable with her care. I also look forward to receiving her cute, playful photos with colorful captioning..”
“Francois took care of our senior dog recently we would highly recommend him . He communicated with us every day with text & pictures. Our dog being on the elderly side is very set in his ways & Francois took all his special needs into account. We returned home to a happy and relaxed dog.”
“This was Brady’s 2nd time with Hong. When I dropped Brady off, he was so glad to see them again! Hong sent us daily reports and photos. Most of all, they really seem to love our dog. Thank you so much for the excellent care!!”
“Lee and family were amazing with our dog! Great communication and he was very comfortable with them. We already have our next stay scheduled! Highly recommend. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Wonderful first overnight with Kira - couldn't have been a better experience! She and her husband are lovely, very experienced and clearly know what they are doing. Their home is well set up to care for pups - ours loved to explore their fenced in yard. Communication was terrific, the pictures were great and reassuring to us as protective pet parents. Our boxer came home happy and seemed to enjoy his sleepover with his new friends. We're booking again right away.”
“We had such a great experience with Robert, Jen, and their lovely family! They took care of our King Charles Cavalier, Osler, for a week and treated him like one of their own. He was well-fed, taken out frequently for potty breaks, and we received thoughtful updates with photos 1–2 times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their two daughters were so sweet with Osler, and he got along really well with their two friendly dogs. It was clear he had a wonderful time and felt right at home. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave him — we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Thank you Barbara and Jenn for taking great care of Bonnie. We knew she was safe and having fun while we were away and are very thankful to have had that peace of mind!”
“Su is the absolute best! We had him care for our 10 year old Husky for 2 weeks and he was so great about updates, walks, food, treats, and play time. We also couldn’t pick him up on the scheduled date and Su was so helpful and flexible to keep him an extra night. We are so grateful and highly recommend Su. We look forward to the future stays!”
“Marissa took very good care of Conan, who is a bit anxious. He even did well with Marissa's dog, which she did in a controlled and easy way, which we loved because he needs some positive socialization. She took him for walks, and kept us informed, sending texts and pics. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Kathy was so accommodating and responsive! And she sent pictures of Frankie all day long to keep us posted. It was Frankie’s first experience in a house with cats so we were a bit worried, but everything worked out great and all the animals lived in harmony. We will definitely book 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!”
“Sean is worthy of the 5 Star rating. I was in a pinch and needed a sitter a few days before my trip. Sean came through and was able to accommodate my big boy, Finn. Upon attending the meet n’ greet between our dogs (Holly and Remington), Sean sensed I was little nervous. However, he demonstrated not only confidence and knowledge about canine behavioral traits, but also show my boyo love, affection, and care even while juggling his own dogs. Early during my trip, I checked in on Finn often.. But after a few days I felt very peaceful that Finn was in great hands and hand many friends to play with. It was a very comforting experience, for both Finn and myself.”
“Kristina is awesome. She has taken care of our dog multiple times over the past few months. She is communicative, responsible, and trustworthy, it's easy to see how much she loves animals, and we would recommend her to anyone.”
“Our 9 month old pup had a great stay with Julie! Julie was wonderful with her -- patient and kind and understanding of our pup's needs. Our dog loved playing in the backyard and snuggling in for the night. We enjoyed receiving photos and updates from Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Ismaelwas available on short notice. Tis was my first time booking with Rover and he helped me through the ptocess. I have an older dog and he was very happy to take care of her. I will certainly consder using Isamael again if i need to and would recommend hi, to others.”
“Pamela and her family took great care of our Mocha. It was good to see Mocha get along with Gennifer, her Labrador Retriever. Mocha stayed for 5 days and we felt relax during our vacation. Pamela has a fenced in back yard and also took Mocha out for walks. We would use Pamela again, when the needs requires it.”
“Whitney was great with Jellybean! I received daily updates and pictures. Whitney was a great communicator and took the time to do a virtual meet and greet before I dropped bean off for the first time, which I greatly appreciated!”

Junho might be the best sitter in the North Cambridge area. When it comes to caring for your dog, the most important aspect is genuine love and care. You can tell that your dog is having a blast by checking the constant photos and live updates from Junho. As you can see from those photos, it's easy to tell how much love my dog was given during this stay. Furthermore, Junho was really flexible in fitting my schedule, which was out of the ordinary due to having a baby. If you need someone to take care of your dog, it's Junho
We had such a wonderful experience with Yick-hong and his wife, what lovely people! Our senior girl hadn’t had a new dog sitter in many years and also had a recent injury so she needed some extra TLC. Within a day or two she was entirely at ease and living her best life! She even had a field trip to sample doggy ice cream. Yick-hong and his wife were very attentive, noticed her tummy seemed a little off related to her medication and communicated about how best to help her. Communication overall was just the right balance, keeping me in the loop without being overwhelming. Truest test of all, at pick up Maisy was happy to see me, but was so relaxed and comfortable she was not in a rush to leave at all!
Kim is fantastic! Salty had a wonderful time with Kim. Salty was well taken care of, enjoyed his overnights, and got along well with Kim’s two dogs. Kim’s fenced in yard is a real plus. Kim was able to help me with my last minute booking and was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times.
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!
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!
My dog stayed with Sam and his fiancée Morgane for a 2.5-week stay and I can't recommend or thank them enough. Right before the stay my dog had a Lyme's disease flare up which required rest and medication. I was nervous about leaving him for so long while sick, but felt at ease during drop-off when Sam assured me it was no big deal. They sent me lots of updates (including videos of how Ozzie was doing) and made sure I had the communication I needed/wanted, and that Ozzie got all his meds. They were both so easy to coordinate pickup/drop off with, and Ozzie had a great time with lots of play (once better) and attention! Thank you Sam and Morgane - Ozzie can't wait for the next "vacation"!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Newton on Rover is $66.6 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 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 July 2026, there are 4,251 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Newton. 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.
91% of West Newton 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 West Newton 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 West Newton 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 West Newton.
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 West Newton 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.
