“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“I had the pleasure of having Siqin take care of my dog, Jack, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, so I always knew Jack was in good hands. It was clear that Jack was comfortable and happy, and I loved seeing how well he got along with her. Siqin also made sure to take Jack on regular walks, which he absolutely loved. It was such a relief knowing that Jack was getting the care and attention he needed while I was away. I can't recommend her enough—she’s professional, caring, and truly passionate about pets. If you're looking for a dog sitter, Siqin is the one!”
“Nina and Tony are amazing! They were so good with our sweet Pebbles while we went away for over a week. We can tell Pebbles had a blast, they took care of her like she was their own. They are also just very nice people, great updates and easy going. Pebbles made a couple of new best friends and she will absolutely be going back some time!”
“Cookie's second time with Cecilia and Ethan! And she had a blast! She got to go to the beach and multiple long walks, both of which she absolutely adores! And a video update that made my day and one that I'll cherish forever! And multiple photos and updates throughout her stay as usual :). Thank you so much! We might've travelled, but Cookie had the better vacation!”
“I am happy we found Xiaokun. Our foster fail puppy who is a 6 month German Shepherd went to him for multiple doggy day care days and one boarding visit. She came back each time happy and tired. I really appreciated how Xiaokun followed our instructions and had great communication, especially when we boarded our pup shortly after her spay surgery. Also loved that on the doggy day care days he took our pup on awesome hikes/walks and sent pics for our peace of mind. Xiaokun has great calm energy and that definitely translated to making my pups stay a great one. Definitely recommend!”
“We initially knew Namita early in June when my dog sitter changed her plan so we needed an urgent help, Namita was so nice about it. We didn’t end up using her until this time in August, Namita took such good care of our dog Sugar and she kept sending us updates and photos of her as well. We definitely will use their help in the future!”
“Really good experience! My dog, Toasty, stayed with Marina and Anwar for 4 days. They sent many frequent updates throughout the day and I always felt as thought my dog was in good hands. My dog also has a bit of a sensitive tummy, and they made him some boiled chicken and rice to soothe his tummy when it did start acting up. They also provided some for us to take home, which was totally not necessary but very much appreciated. I highly recommend Marina and Anwar for your dog sitting needs!”
“Sriram is a fantastic sitter! I’ve had mixed luck in the past, but he exceeded all expectations. My dog was treated like family, enjoying tons of walks and play in a safe, spotless home. Sriram’s constant updates and photos gave me total peace of mind. I picked up a happy, relaxed pup who clearly enjoyed his 'vacation’ lol. We will absolutely be booking with Sriram and his awesome family again!”
“I would definitely have Lihuan take care of my shiba again next time! She took great care of her, consistently provided updates throughout the day and everyday! I felt at ease and grateful!”
“We had the pleasure of having Judi sit for our two boxers - Max and Doja recently. She was absolutely amazing and wonderful with our two girls. I can’t say this enough! From the very beginning when we first met Judi, she was patient and very knowledgeable about the Boxer breed, which gave us a comforting feeling that our two girls would be in great hands. She listened to our concerns regarding our dog’s health conditions and was very mindful when it came to their care. We appreciated all the updates and pictures that we received daily from Judi. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her and will most definitely be utilizing her services again in the future.”
“Shruti and Gautham are very kind and are very accommodating dog sitters. They already have a large breed at theirs so it was very relieving and didn’t have a worry much about running them through big dog details. We are very glad we found them on rover and although Leo is nervous at new place he did great for the first time with them and I am pretty sure he’ll only get comfortable and be excited to go to them in no time. Thanks for taking care of Leo guys”
“Once again, Lavanya took great care of our dog, and she kept us updated with photos. She was also very accommodating of our change in plans, and was very kind, even though it was a lot of extra effort for her.”
“Su is a very nice person..she updates us every now with pictures and videos.. so patience walking our dog.you can see her passion taking good care of our baby furr..so happy to meet her here in rover..you will have a peace of mind leaving your dog to her while you’re away from vacay..she’s more than a 5 stars rating❤️She’s the best!!”
“Nancy have excellent communication. She sent us photos during our dog's stay as well as updates. We had some daycare stays prior to our long trip and Nancy was very flexible and helpful in planning these and helping our dog be comfortable away from home. We have a high energy dog and Nancy took him for daily walks to keep up with his routine. We are so thankful that he has a home away from home with Nancy and her family. Highly recommend!”
“Jie was incredibly responsive, sent plenty of pictures, and updated me consistently about Daisy's stay. Daisy had a great time, and she was very well cared for. I would definitely use Jie again.”
“Melody was great! She provided timely updates every day with lots of photos and videos. Our dog can be a picky eater and she handled that no problem. Melody also took our pup on long walks and play time. Thanks Melody!”
“Paula was absolutely fantastic with Tonka! From the moment we met, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals and a calming presence that put both me and Tonka at ease. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending frequent updates and adorable photos that showed Tonka was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Tonka loved sitting on her lap and she did not mind it. She has dogs in her house and Tonka was happy to have a play buddy. I couldn’t be happier with the care Tonka received and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Paula again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, look no further!”
“Love Marsha! She is so good with dogs- my dog loves to stay with her and her dog bippy. Thank you for taking care of sunny- and accommodating our late timings!”
“Xin is an excellent dog sitter—loving, caring, quick to respond, and easygoing! My dog Sona fell in love with her from the very first night. Xin’s genuine love for dogs truly shines through, especially in the thoughtful photos and videos she sends. We were able to enjoy our trip without a single worry, knowing Sona was in such good hands. When we faced some unexpected delays due to traffic, Xin was very understanding and accommodating. On top of that, her spacious front yard gave Sona plenty of room to run and play happily. I highly recommend Xin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you again, Xin!”

We had a great experience with Lily. Her communication from beginning to end was consistent, detailed, and truly appreciated. She was very caring to our dog and shared lots of updates with pictures during her stay. I highly recommend Lily and will be booking with her again!
Marina and Anwar took great care of our dog, Eva. We had to go away for a few days and our regular dog care providers (our adult children) were not available. So, this was the first time in her 7 1/2 years she was not with her human family. Marina and Anwar sent daily photo updates which gave us total peace of mind and Eva was happy when we picked her up. We would gladly book Marina and Anwar again!"
I boarded Sheru with Lavanya for over two weeks, and she took absolutely wonderful care of him! She was incredibly responsive and kept us reassured with regular communication. We received photos, videos, and updates twice a day, which we truly appreciated. Her pet, Coco, was the perfect companion for Sheru. Lavanya made sure he was happy, comfortable, and entertained, and he thoroughly enjoyed his playtime with Coco. I would recommend Lavanya to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. I’d definitely board Sheru with her again!
We had a great experience! They took such wonderful care of Scooby and kept us updated throughout his stay. Scooby can be a little difficult when it comes to eating his meals, and they went above and beyond to make sure he ate something and was comfortable. We really appreciated the extra effort, care, and regular updates. We felt like Scooby was in great hands!
Harveen took in my dog in as a last minute request and I cannot thank her enough for her flexibility. She has been so amazing from the beginning to the end of the stay with smooth communication all throughout. My dog loved the open space she provided-especially the cuddles & belly rubs! I absolutely love her kindness, care and attention to detail. My husband and I didn’t have to worry much while we were out for two days because we both knew that Potato was in great hands; she was very comfortable at her home. Many updates with photos and videos were the best and made us happy. We appreciate her so much and would definitely return for her services. Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful experience with Xiaokun and his wife! They were caring, responsible, and attentive to Chewie. They have a beautiful clean home. They kept us updated with cute pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Chewie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again! Thank you so much!
Nina and Tony were incredible with both of our dogs! They were very communicative, sent plenty of daily updates and pictures, and open to working with one of our more anxious ones. They were willing to go the extra mile to make her feel comfortable, set up a meet and greet to ease the transition, and work with us through the whole process. We really appreciated the time and effort they put in to get to know our dogs. We will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to others looking for reliable and experienced sitters!
We had such a great experience with Sriram watching Yogi! He sent us so many pictures and regular updates about how Yogi was doing, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. Yogi has a sensitive stomach and very strict feeding instructions, and Sriram reassured me that he fully understood and would follow everything carefully. That gave me so much relief and allowed me to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Yogi was happy and well cared for, and we would absolutely book with Sriram again!
Thank you, Tianyu and Frank, for taking such great care of Bella. She had a wonderful time playing with their dog, Pipi. My biggest concern when leaving Bella with someone is cleanliness, and they exceeded my expectations. Their home was very clean, and it was clear that Bella was well cared for. They responded to our messages quickly and sent us videos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend them and would definitely trust them with Bella again.
Xin is a super nice host for my girl. She didn’t only take my dog out for adventure walks (where she spotted a deer) but also take great pictures so I can see how are things going. She’s also very considerate and kind to deliver my dog back when I’m not able to pick up in time. Would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newark on Rover is $61.05 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 6,909 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newark. 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 Newark 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 Newark 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 Newark 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 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 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 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 CA 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.
