“Absolutely fabulous! Robert and his family took the best possible care of my dog, and provided lots of love and belly rubs. He sent pictures twice a day which we looked forward to. Couldn’t not have been a better experience for my dog and for us. ❤️🐕🦺❤️”
“Francois is everything you could want in a pet sitter. He’s very obviously a true animal lover — kind and caring — and he’s very responsible. We left our 4 month old Airedale puppy with him for 4 nights while we went overseas, and it was such a comfort to have Francois send us regular updates and photos showing what a lovely time he and Biggles were having. If you are looking for a loving home-away-from-home for your pet, you have found it. Thank you, Francois!!”
“Hong made me feel really comfortable leaving my pup with him. He was super organized about my dog's needs at the meet and greet, provided plenty of updates and pics during the stay, and was overall a pleasure. I knew my dog was in good hands while I was away!”
“Excellent experience across the board. Steve and Kira treat the pups like family and create an environment where they can play and rest and get all the TLC they need. They are easy to communicate with, provide photo updates, and don’t mind giving special diets and meds. The dogs are well screened to make sure the crew is all friendly, so they have a really positive social experience.”
“Kristina was amazing with my pups! She was so warm, friendly and welcoming when I had my pups stay with her and her cute little puppy! They had plenty of backyard to run around in and played the entire time. She was fantastic about sending pics throughout the stay and keeping me updated on how they were doing. I would absolutely have her take care of my little ones any day!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Dusty had a great time with Julie, and she was terrific. Warm and caring, really great communication throughout Dusty’s stay, which is always much appreciated. Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”
“This is the second time we have Monet at Marissa’s place. She took a great care of Monet. And from Marissa’s photos, we could tell that Monet was enjoying the stay so much! Thank you!”
“Aspen was so well cared for! We loved the pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Aspen was cared for as if we left her with family. So grateful for Tomoe and her family.”
“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”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Newton
Zach was great with my dog Poppy. She is a bouncy, high energy and somewhat anxious dog. She does not always take to people but she loved Zach right away! Zach stayed overnight, fed her and let her out the first evening and then took her for a long walk/jog the next day. He left the house in perfect shape. He is very personable and easy to communicate with. I recommend him highly.
This was our first time using Rover, and Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. Mochi takes a while to warm up to new people and situations, and Holly was so experienced and patient with her that we never had to worry. She was also a great communicator and sent us regular updates and photos while we were away. Mochi was in wonderful hands! We would absolutely recommend Holly and will definitely use her again.
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!
We had such a wonderful experience with Sana! Since we were traveling abroad, she went above and beyond by driving to pick up our Floofy from another sitter and caring for her for the remainder of our trip. She sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, we could tell how loved and well cared for Floofy was by how happy and comfortable she seemed when we picked her up! We’re so grateful to Sana and would absolutely recommend her! ❤️🐾
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!
We could not have asked for a better sitter for Sofi than Samuel. Caring for our "dog-ter" comes with unique needs and extra responsibilities as she’s gotten older, but Samuel handled every single detail with incredible grace, patience, and warmth. From managing her special diet to administering her Adequan shots seamlessly, Samuel took care of her health and routine with complete precision and confidence. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was in such capable hands. Beyond the technical care, Samuel was exceptionally flexible and accommodating with our schedule, making the entire experience completely stress free. Throughout his time with her, the updates and photos Samuel sent meant the world to us. It was clear from every picture just how loved, comfortable, and pampered Sofi was. Samuel treated our dog-ter with the deep affection and gentle kindness that every senior dog deserves. What touched us most of all was watching Samuel say goodbye to Sofi at the end of her stay. Seeing him make a point to give her one last heartfelt hug before leaving was so moving and meant a lot, and showed his deep care for our pup. That level of genuine heart and care is rare, and we cannot recommend Samuel highly enough!
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!
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.

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 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.
