“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”
“I was a bit nervous, this is our first time trying day care for my shelter dog. Ismael has such a calming manner that put both of us at ease. I plan on calling on him again!”
“Ling and Ye were great with my puppy! I had to work a very, very long day and they were very accommodating with an early drop off and late pick up. They also made me feel comfortable by sending pictures throughout the day to reassure me that she was having a great day. I will definitely hire them again!”
“Daisy had a great day with Stef! Stef met with us in advance to meet Daisy and learn about her daily routine and requirements. She made it very easy to drop Daisy off and pick her up and also sent a few pictures during the day. Stef took her out for three walks, one of them was a car ride away from Stef's home which was an adventure for Daisy. It was almost hard to get Daisy into the car as she didn't want to leave. Daisy was so tired that night and into the next day, but was very happy. We are looking forward to having Stef take care of her again!”
“David and Betsy are thoughtful and caring dog lovers. Their house and yard are set up perfectly so that dogs to feel right at home. They get to know the quirks of every dog in their care. And, they make sure that the dogs all get along and spend a day with a mix of activities and relaxation. We appreciate that they went out of their way to accommodate our special request when we needed daycare for our dog so that we could go to some medical appointments. We highly recommend David and Betsy to anyone (and any dog) looking for a great petsitting experience.”
“Sean is very attentive to our dog's needs and Bailey loves staying in his home. We have always used Sean for daycare when visiting the Boston area and he gives us great peace of mind knowing Bailey is having a fun day too. We highly recommend Sean as your sitter!”
About: I have had dogs almost my entire life. I have been pet sitting on dog vacay and rover for the last several years , before my dog Dora passed away two years when she was 14 years of age. I stopped pet sitting , and was grieving for a while. I am now ready to get back to dog sitting , and want to experience joy of pets again, even if on a temporary basis. I have two children , 8 and 4, and they have been exposed to dogs and cats until recently . We want to have a chance to play with doggies again, and love them! At the moment I am unemployed, and home with my 4 year old. A dog would easily fit in our daily routine, as the dog parents require. I live in a condo association, on the third floor. I do not have a yard, but I will be able to walk your doggie.
“Yi W. Was very responsive and took great care of Duke. She was also very open to my guidance about Duke’s needs and routine. She sent regular updates and photos. I recommend her and will take Duke back to her.”
“Adrienne took great care of Quin for daycare. Many walks throughout the day as well as updates and pictures. Followed care instructions closely. Will have her care for him again!”
“Don’t hesitate for a second. Arman knows dogs! My dog Rosie fell in love with Arman and we are forever changed by his kindness. Rosie spend Wednesdays with Arman and family for 15 weeks and became a more well-rounded confident dog after suffering abuse as a pup. We are so thankful to me you! ❤️ 🐕”
“Michelle was amazing with my dog. She sent lots of updates, has tons of treats and toys at her place and clearly took very good care of my pup.”
“she is very kind and compassionate. Great person. She is taking care of my dog with hip problems. I can leave my dog with no hesitations. Thank you Sue.”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
About: I'd love to welcome your dog into our family (with 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) for daytime visits or overnight stays. I am working primarily from home, my calm Beagle-Mini Pin mix Sarah—affectionately called "the meagle"—enjoys having canine companions! With a lifetime of dog ownership experience, I'll ensure your pet receives expert care and plenty of entertainment, including regular walks in our nearby park. Whether you need daytime hosting, walking services, or overnight care, I'm happy to help. I am working primarily from my home office, so I will be available to walk, play with, and keep your dog company throughout the day. I provide at least three daily walks on a nearby walking path, plus additional indoor and supervised backyard play time (on leash, as our yard is unfenced).

My girl Petunia always has a great time at Jun Ho's!! He takes wonderful care of her, and treats her like he treats his own dog, Boki (including giving her some fresh chicken at mealtime). I would recommend Jun Ho to anyone - we're lucky to have such a wonderful dog sitter we trust and count on.
We had to book someone to watch our dog last minute while we had an appointment nearby and Eri was available. Our dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and she sent photos and updates that reassured us that our dog was in good hands. If we’re in the area again and in need of a sitter, we’d definitely reach out to Eri again. Thank you for watching Koda last minute and I’m glad he had a good time! 😊
Jie and her son Ethan were amazing! Snoopy loved both of them and enjoyed going there. He met them once for the meet and greet, and when we went back to leave him there, he ran to the house and ran right in. He made himself at home. When we came to pick him up, he was very happy and well taken care of!
Brianna was great! She dog-sat for Juno, our 8 year-old Bernedoodle, in our home for 10 days. She came by for a meet and greet a few days beforehand to get the lay of the land and meet Juno. Bri is a great communicator , which gave us comfort, as we were leaving our dog and house with someone we only recently met (albeit with excellent references). We got lots of pics and updates, and our home was immaculate upon our return. Very professional. Will hire again. Highly recommend!
Charlie has been an exceptional dog sitter. He is reliable and genuinely cares for my dog, who is always happy and relaxed after spending time with him. Charlie follows instructions carefully, communicates clearly, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is well cared for! I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in West Newton on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your West Newton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
