“I know my dog has found a home away from home! Maisha was consistently sending me updates and pictures. Made sure my dog was well taken care of and having fun. I was happy to see pictures of him with other poo dogs! I would definitely recommend”
“Caroline was amazing at keeping me up to date with photos and videos of my dog’s stay. Her family made Harper feel welcomed, loved and super comfortable. I highly recommend her !!”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our little boy!! He was so comfortable with you!! We will definitely have you care for him again when we are in the area! Also, we are very appreciative that you agreed to watch him on such short notice!!”
“Our dog Happy had a great stay with Brianna. It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were nervous at first, but Brianna was very welcoming and our dog warmed up to her quickly. This was our quick test to make sure our dog (and we) could handle the separation for a short period of time, as a bridge to boarding her for a longer stretch of time. Our dog passed due to Brianna's hospitality, so we are much more comfortable boarding her for a longer stay with Brianna very soon! Thanks so much, Brianna and family!”
“Diamond was excellent! This was the first time we had someone dogsit our doggie over night. She kept us in the loop of how she was doing through out the day and sent many pictures. She was always quick to respond if we were checking in on her z. And would text with enthusiasm confirming the drop off time to begin sitting. If she had any questions she would simply reach out to us. She was very sweet and so was her husband who played with our dog a lot. I will surely book with her again.”
“Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“Rochelle was wonderful for my kitty Zeno. He seemed sad to leave ?. She sent photos and gave him his daily vitamins, and even bought new food for him when he started turning down his own food. The environment seemed calm and quiet for my very timid old cat. She cleaned out his litter and food dish and packed up his things when it was time to go. I would definitely trust her with my kitty again!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our puppy with Ayush. From the start, communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our puppy in his care. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Ayush genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treated our puppy like part of the family. We especially appreciated our puppy having new friends to play with (Ayush’s dogs). We would absolutely book with Ayush again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to board with.”
“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”

“We can’t imagine a better human to care for our pup than Meiqi. She is so kind, professional, and communicative. She sent us daily updates and photos to help us miss our pup less and to give us the peace of mind that he was having a great time on walks, taking naps, and eating healthy meals. We are so grateful to Meiqi.”
“Yizi took fantastic care of Teddy while we were away! She was extremely communicative both before boarding and during, and sent many updates throughout Teddy’s stay. It was clear that he was very comfortable and well cared for while there. Yizi was willing to go above and beyond to accommodate us, and even let Teddy sleep in bed with her! We will certainly be contacting Yizi again next time we travel!”
“Christina was so communicative and Neptune seemed very well looked after while I was away for a week. When I described Neptunes potential reactivity she took it all in stride and he did very well while he was there, which I’m so grateful for. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Jo is AMAZING! My Wheatie Belle had such a great time hanging out with her, Callie and Presley…I’ve vowed to make sure they hang out once a month…LoL…that’s how GREAT she is!!!!”
“Thank you for taking care of Ocean. Natalia is one of the best boarders we met. She has her own dog who was a great company to ours. Before day of dropping our dog for boarding, he started with Diarrhea. Natalia took a great care of him by providing optimal meal portions and medication. Ocean recovered during his stay and I can tell he very much enjoyed staying there. We would definitely recommend and book with Natalia in future as well.”

Andrew took great care of Nuomi. He was communicative, followed my care instructions, and I really appreciated his flexibility on drop off and pick up times.

Thanks again, Andrew!
Alex was great with Tahlia. He loved her like his own. Tahlia was well cared for. Tahlia was very comfortable and happy the minute she met him.

Maisha was amazing with Bentley! She kept him for five days while I was on vacation and sent me lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. Bentley is always so excited to see her and the pups, and he always seems to make new friends while he’s in her care, which I love! I’d choose her each and every time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!
Ahlaunah was so attentive to Dallas while I was away! She sent regular updates with photos of him and their adventures that day!

Thank you again for taking such good care of him and for the sweetest gift for Brooklyn! Now he’ll have to come on a tropical trip with us so he can wear his new Hawaiian shirt 😂🌺🐶🌞
Jamin is always a fantastic sitter. He follows instructions, communicates well, and is flexible with our schedule. For this trip, our flight had a few delays and was expected to land late. Jamin was kind enough to drive and drop off Diamond back at our home, which was hugely helpful. As always, couldn’t recommend Jamin enough.

My dog Luna was definitely in great hands! Thank you Yan! Luna really enjoyed her stay and she will definitely be seeing you soon!
Kenny took great care of our two standard golden doodles during their 10-day stay. He was responsive throughout the booking and periodically sent us updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both of our dogs seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we picked them up. We truly appreciated knowing they were in capable hands and would gladly recommend Kenny to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in East Newark can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their East Newark home-away-from-home, 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 East Newark.
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 East Newark 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 , 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 .
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 NJ 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.
