“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”
“Miley had a great time, was well fed, and beloved by Andrea and her family. I will be using her again and already recommended her to a friend! Thanks Andrea!”
“I haven’t used Rover in awhile as I started traveling with my pug Captain...but for a recent quick trip I decided it was worth it. I saw Ben’s profile and thought he seemed like a great fit to watch Captain. Ben and his girlfriend loved watching Captain and raved about their time with him. I could tell Captain also enjoyed himself! Ben was also very responsive and accommodated my schedule for pick up/drop off. I’d definitely use Ben as our dog sitter for our next trip!”
“Best ever!!!!! We just came back from our first trip away from Stella. It was traumatic for us and we were worried before we left. But Lyn made everything ok! We got regular picture and videos. Lyn loved Stella and took care of her like she was her own puppy. Not only that. The day before we left, we had a trip to the animal ER, so Lyn got a dog with bandaged paws. Lyn was gentle and kind and in spite of the surprise, was ready to care for Stella. We came home to a happy and healthy puppy! I can’t say enough about how grateful we are.”
“Sara was great. I had an emergency and needed a sitter earlier than we had planned. She readily agreed to take Abby for the extra days before and after the original booking. As usual, Abby was happy and treated like the princess she knows she is!”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“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!”
“Tomoe and her entire family were amazing, and my dog quickly adopted them as his second family! Tomoe loves dogs and totally understands how important a caring dog sitter needs to be. She kept me aprised of my dog Muskies daily routine, with daily written descriptions and photos and videos. She cared for my dog for 10 days and treated him as her own, following all my instructions to the letter. I have used two other sitters(not from Rover but though recommendations) and neither even came close to the care and bond that my dog received with Tomoe. She played with him, took him for walks and to the dog park where my dog could meet and play with other dogs . In addition to her care, the rest of her family were also fantastic and played with my dog until he was played out! She is highly educated in the ways of dogdom, and truly has a passion for her work as a dog sitter. If I could give her 10 stars I would....I only hope she has availability the next time I need her services since once you have experienced the best there is no going anywhere else!”
“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.”
“We are so grateful for Kira!! Bailey is so excited the second we pull into her driveway. He is completely exhausted from all the running and playing with other dogs in her big backyard. It is such a relief to know he is loved and well cared for while we are away.”
“Natasha is a wonderful person, so calm and organized. Our meet & greet with her went so well, and I was at ease leaving our dog with her while we traveled! While we were out, she provided regular updates and photos, which was so nice. Our dog was happy and relaxed during her stay with Natasha, even though it was her first time away from home! Thank you so much, Natasha! ❤️”
“She always takes such wonderful care of my dog Eloise. To the point where she doesn’t even seem sad when she has to leave me 😂 because she knows she is going to have so much fun with Yesika. My go-to!”
“Fancy had a great time with Yulia & her kids! He came back happy, happy, and tired!! His coat was also very soft and fluffy, so he definitely got some good brush outs! Yulia and her kids are very sweet and I will definitely trust them to watch fancy for me again!”
“Loveliest couple and some real dog pros. They were so good with my pup and shared tons of photos while we were away. We absolutely use them again and again.”
“Carlos and Nina were awesome! Super communicative and friendly. Great hosts for our little dude. Will certainly return to them when in the are”
“Matias was so great watching my beagle Casey! She had a great time running and playing in the field by his house, and Matias kept me updated daily with her status! I could tell she was even sad to leave and can’t wait to use Matias again!”
“When our normal boarding spot filled up for the holidays, we were rushing to figure out a sitting situation for Bella. Bella can be aggressive towards other dogs, so we were hesitant to leave her with someone new, however Winn seemed like the best sitter we could have asked for. Winn responded promptly, and we set up a time to meet beforehand; the whole thing effortless. Within seconds, Bella found a tennis ball and was sitting by Winn's side for pets. Winn sent us several photos during his time watching Bella, and it was clear that she was having a great doggie vacation! We'll be sure to reach out if we ever need a sitter again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in West Newton is $65
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Newton
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!
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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Newton on Rover is $81.7 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 4,164 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.
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.
