“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.”
“What a lovely family. It was hard to leave our wonderful dog, but we were so happy to see the fabulous care, attention, exercise, and fun lavished on him. We received plenty of photos and salient communication about meals, walks, human and canine interaction. It was as much his vacation as it was ours. We enthusiastically recommend Tara and her fantastic family to care for your pet.”
“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”
“Sara went above and beyond in caring for my Abby for more than a week. Abby has severe separation anxiety but she really enjoyed her stay with Sara and was a happy, calm dog when I picked her up today. Sara is great!”
“Ismael is great with all kinds of dogs. He took very good care of coco while we were out for a week. He shared lot of pictures daily and made sure coco gets very good attention especially with his food habits and allergies. Coco had a lot of fun all the dogs and bonded very well with Ismael Justin a week. We are very thankful and would surely use Ismaels help in future.”
“Katherine was amazing! We got to set up a meeting beforehand and she was very open to everything and responsive! Our dog, Lena, is a very shy girl around new people, but she warmed up to Katherine super quick! We got plenty of pictures/updates during the stay and will definitely be going back!”
“One more time Robert and his family took great care of our dog during our vacation week. Always responsive, regularly posting pictures of her having fun and very flexible with pickup schedules.”
“Sean was very flexible on drop off and pick up times. He provided daily updates and even videos of the dogs having a great time playing. Mimsy was disappointed to go home!”
“We moved here from Italy a few months ago with Severus, our corgi puppy. We needed to leave him for a few days and we were so relieved when we met Emily and Rob. They are the sweetest couple, trustable and deeply caring about any dog’s wellbeing. They even learnt some Italian words to be able to communicate with our puppy (he was trained in Italian!). Emily sent pictures over the days and Rob took care of the walking and feeding. As a first experience, Severus had a great time. They have definitely become our most trusted dog sitter. Will book again!”
“Absolutely, here's a sample review: "Mary was an absolute delight! I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. She was incredibly attentive, ensuring my Hina was not just cared for but also loved and entertained. Mary's affection for animals truly shines through in the way she interacts with them. Her reliability and commitment made me feel at ease while I was away. I highly recommend Mary to anyone seeking a caring and responsible sitter for their beloved pets!"”
“Marissa was amazing with my playful adolescent pup! This was my first time using Rover, and she met with me ahead of time and answered all my questions to help me feel comfortable. She was flexible and a good communicator, and sent lots of photos. My dog came home tired and happy!”
“Alan was so helpful in accommodating our last minute drop-off and pick-up schedule changes. We were provided updates with accompanying pictures of Murphy throughout our entire trip and felt he was in good hands. We would love to have Murphy be a repeat client. Thank you for all your help and for taking such good care of our guy.”
“This was at least the 4th time (I lost count) Melissa has taken care of our beloved attention seeking, affectionate, squirrel chasing beautiful dog. Melissa is kind and thoughtful. She proactively offered extra days when our flight was cancelled due to snow! She takes extraordinarily good care of our dog. I can’t praise her enough!”
“Gomer had a great time staying with Holly and having River as a play/house mate! Gomer was exhausted when we got home and I could tell he had fun staying for one night at Holly's. I so appreciated how Holly kept me updated on Gomer, was extremely responsive and overall, a pleasure to meet. I definitely plan to call Holly again for Gomercare!”
“Michael and Ali are simply amazing, I am so grateful to have found them. Whenever we have to leave our pup, knowing he'll have a blast with them, makes it easier. Heck, sometimes he even has more fun than we do! I hope you'll stay around forever. ☺️”
“I never have to worry when my dog is with Phillipa and that peace of mind is priceless! I always know she will give him all the love and care he deserves.”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”

Sana is the best. So trustworthy, loves animals and extremely conscientious. She was very flexible, provided pictures and when I forgot to give some instruction around food, she kindly and respectfully asked about what I had left out. She is also very resourceful! I 100% recommend her!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Newton on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,235 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.
