“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!”
“Hong is very professional. Went super well with my dog and send me pictures and videos everyday. I almost felt like my dog doesn’t want to come back with me when I picked him up. Highly recommended!”
“Siqin was so sweet. She and Michael took great care of my pup Kiki. It was my first time leaving my dog with strangers, and it was an unexpected emergency out of town trip, so I was super nervous. Siqin was quick to respond at all times and sent lots of photo/video updates, which was so reassuring and made a huge difference for me!! Kiki got along well with their Golden Retriever and cat, and even had some other doggy friends to hang out with. Thank you so much!”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“Namita and her family were great in taking care of Carmel. I was really impressed with how she understood Carmel schedule and needs and accomodated her. She has been sleeping all day today, showing that she had fun, so thank you Namita. Repeat customer for sure”
“Amazing, coordinated, educated, and detailed in her updates! Continued my girls training on her reactivity and kept my mind at ease while I was away. Will be recommending and using her from now on!”
“Lihuan id a great job, kept me updated with pictures and videos daily, followed instructions. Was timely with pickup and drop of. I would definitely trust Annie to Lihuan again! Thank you :)”
“We had a great experience with Lily! She provided regular photos and updates throughout Bean’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. Bean is a high-energy dog, and Lily made sure she got plenty of exercise with regular walks and playtime with her dog, Tofu. Lily was very easy to work with, and we’d be happy to have Bean stay with her again.”
“Melody did a fantastic job with my pup. She kept me updated daily with the routine and pictures. She was kind, patient, and made Ruby feel right at home. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely rebook with Melody and her mother.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“Shruti and her husband were great sitters for my dog. Timely communication, very accommodating on some last minute changes and overall great experience. Koko seemed to have enjoyed his stay. The house has a massive backyard and makes for a great space for dogs big and small to play. They were detailed in their intake of information about the dog. Overall recommend and will use their boarding again.”
“Janine and her family are amazing people and really develop a great connection to your dog. They are by far the best sitter we have found on Rover and we hope to have our Putter with them any time we need to be out of town. Very nice yard for dogs, very attentive to their individual needs, and they love interacting with them. So happy we found them!”
“Nancy has great communication, sending up photos and messages during even short stays with her. We appreciate her responsiveness and flexibility!”
“Paula was fantastic! She looked after my dog Ginger while I was away on vacation. We coordinated a handoff to split dogsitting responsibility between her a couple friends who were helping me out while away on my trip . Paula walked and played games with her, was courteous enough it give her a wash after an adventurous walk. She sent ample photos and updates which I welcomed and greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her to look after your dog while away from home.”
“Jianli & Wiena took very good care of our dog. They were very caring and took care of all her needs and send us lots of photos and videos with regular updates. We highly recommend him & will definitely use them again.”
“Another awesome stay with Jie (and Chow Chow)! I always feel reassured that Hana will receive great care when we are away. Jie sends multiple updates and photos every day which is much appreciated. She is the best!”
“We had OG the second time boarding with Dini and her family and it was even better than the first time. OG already knew the house and the family and he was getting attention almost every hour at the day. We are really happy we found Dini and her family to watch on OG, I am so thankful for that. Definitely we gonna be back when boarding will be needing. Thank you.”
“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!”

Judi took care of Andy and Cody very well. It’s Cody’s first time for boarding. He is a fearful dog. Judi was very much patience in caring our dogs. Sent multiple pictures and videos of them which gave us a great relief. Definitely, would recommend her and book again with her.
Hong provided exceptional care for Buddy! She was attentive, trustworthy, and treated him with so much kindness throughout his stay and updated us with daily pictures and videos of Buddy. What truly stood out was her thoughtfulness afterward—she took the extra time to reach out and check on how Buddy was settling back in at home. It’s rare to find someone who cares so genuinely about the pets they look after. I highly recommend Hong to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible pet sitter!
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!
Sheru stayed overnight at Lavanya’s and came home super happy, energetic, and completely himself. It was clear that he had a good night’s sleep and plenty of rest, as he settled right back into his usual routine after coming home. I’m really happy with the care, love, and attention Lavanya provided. She kept me updated with timely messages and followed all of Sheru’s care instructions thoroughly. I truly appreciate the wonderful care she gave him and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!
Shruti was amazing with Keylo! We felt so comfortable knowing Keylo was in good hands while we were away overnight. She kept us updated and sent us photos, which we really appreciated. Thank you so much, Shruti, for taking such great care of Keylo! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable person for their 🐾🐩
Melody did another great job taking care of Jarvis! This was our 3rd booking with her, and she continues to be so reliable and attentive. She sent plenty of pictures and kept a daily schedule of his meals, medication, potty breaks, and activities. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing Jarvis is in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Melody again!
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.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Siqin. We started with the meet and greet, she was super friendly and loving with our pup. Our puppy stayed with her for four nights and five full days, she sent us tons of pictures and videos and we could truly see that Whiskey was happy. Whiskey loved playing with her pup choo-choo as well. I cannot see enough great things about Siqin. Will definitely be booking with her again.
We had a great experience with Lily! She provided regular photos and updates throughout Bean’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. Bean is a high-energy dog, and Lily made sure she got plenty of exercise with regular walks and playtime with her dog, Tofu. Lily was very easy to work with, and we’d be happy to have Bean stay with her 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!
Shital was a fantastic sitter! My dog loved being with her and Shital showed him care and love and made sure he felt welcome! We met beforehand to meet Shital, and it was clear she is an experienced carer. Shital provided plenty of pictures and updates while my dog was in her care. He enjoyed his time there and I will be booking with Shital in the future!

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.
