“We’re really happy with our experience! Hong was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which made us feel so much more at ease while we were away. Our dog looked happy and relaxed, and it was clear they were being well taken care of. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pet, but this felt very comfortable and natural. We’d absolutely book again and would highly recommend them!”
“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.”
“SO GREAT! This was POLAR opposite of our very first experience using Rover. SO GLAD WE TRIED ROVER AGAIN! Jie and her family took such good care of our dog. She gave us piece of mind with her responses to our text and photos sent while we were away. A five day stay and what a relief to know our pup was SAFE, loved, being well cared for and looked after. All of the things she says will happen do! When we picked our fur-ball up she was happy and healthy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Nina and Tony were absolutely incredible with our dog, Rain. From the moment we left for our trip, they made us feel completely at ease. They went above and beyond in every way possible, especially with their communication. We received frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and so many pictures and videos that we never had to wonder how Rain was doing. Finding someone you trust with your dog is difficult, but Nina and Tony exceeded every expectation we had. We came home to a happy pup! We would trust Nina and Tony with Rain again without a second thought. They are simply the best. Thank you soooooooooo much!”
“Melody took great care of Jarvis again! She stayed on top of his food and medication just like last time and treated him like her own. I really appreciate how detailed she is. She kept notes on his potty breaks, meals, meds, and even sleep, which gives me so much peace of mind especially with his medical needs. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly cares a lot. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Siqin was amazing with my cat. She shared videos and pictures through out the day and it made my mommy cat heart feel at ease. Communication was excellent and I would definitely use her again.”
“Repeat customer-Luna loves all the friends she meets, the cuddles, walks, and play sessions that she gets from Marina and Anwar-thank you for taking good care of her. We love seeing all the updates you give us during her stay with you.”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“Sriram & family are the best dog sitters we have hired on Rover. Got daily pictures of our dog with smiles on our dogs face. Our dog Dou Dou was completely relaxed and felt at home with Sriram. Highly recommend this dog sitter.”
“Shaira took wonderful care of my dog Chubby. She took her out on walks and played with her. I am glad that my dog got to have her own vacation too when we were out of town. Shaira also sent us multiple updates with pictures and videos every day 💓!”
“Fang took fantastic care of my excitable pup! She was super communicative and sent lots of photo updates that left me with no doubt that Brodie was getting the absolute best care tailored to her needs, including multiple walks a day, play time, and lots of cuddles. I'm sure Brodie's already looking forward to staying with Fang again!”
“Nancy was really easy to communicate with and sent a lot of updates on my dog! She was great with my special needs boy (dog reactive, daily medication). Would be happy to rebook with her.”
“Sloane had a wonderful boarding experience with Sai and her fur baby. Sloane was well looked after , Sai kept us updated with videos and photos. We definitely recommend Sai as a pet sitter and will not hesitate to use her dog boarding services in future.”
“Absolutely 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ all the way! Every activity that my big boy Lab loves, Mayuri and her husband provided, although they themselves have a much smaller cute pet dog. Labs LOVE attention and activity - and Zippy got that in abundance - the morning and evening updates by pics and videos, made our hearts so warm,. knowing that my boy is safe and good hands.”
“Tianyu was great at taking care of my dog! She's generally very shy, but adjusted well and had a great time. He was very quick on sending me updates and replying to me. I'll be booking with him for all other times!”
About: Cats are lovely and each have their own character, although they can be distant at first they end up allowing me to obey their commands. I work from home, so your pup will never be alone. They will enjoy daily walks around the lake in our friendly neighborhood. Always feed only what’s on their normal diet. I follow instructions to what is recommended for each pet, as I know many may have different needs. No extra treats or foods since some pets have allergies.
“Shadow loves staying at Lihuan’s whether with other dogs or by himself. She is an excellent communicator and her family loves on him as we do at home - We are blessed to have found her. Thanks! B&A”

Thank you to Vicky who took great care of our Cookie. We were nervous leaving her for a long period of time especially since Cookie can be nervous around other dogs. Vicky made sure to show us pictures and videos of her everyday. Cookie seemed to be doing great: playing with other dogs, eating well and sleeping comfortably. We were relieved. Thank you, Vicky!
Melody and her mom took great care of my dogs! Maru & Chance enjoyed their first stay with them. Melody sent me a lot of pics every day and let me know how they’re doing, which reassured me that everything was going well, while I was out of town. Melody and her mom not only offer a nice environment but also pay attention to safety. Highly recommended!
Judi took great care of our dog, Tito, while we were away on vacation. She sent us daily photos and short updates on how he was doing, which we really appreciated. She was quick to respond to our messages and kept us informed throughout his stay. We appreciate the care she provided for Tito during our trip.
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.
Absolutely amazing! They took wonderful care of our golden. They kept us updated with photos and messages throughout. Also they paid attention to even little details, including making sure our furry ate with the slow feeder( as recommended by his vet). We truly appreciate their care and would happily recommend them to anyone!
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!
I had a wonderful experience with Shruti and would absolutely book with her again. Communication was excellent throughout Julie’s stay. Julie had a bout of diarrhea while she was there, and Shruti kept me updated every step of the way, which greatly reduced my stress and gave me confidence that Julie was being well cared for.
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!
Jennifer did a great job looking after our dog Bruno. We really appreciated the photo and video updates — it was always good to see how he was doing. She walked him twice a day, and Bruno clearly enjoyed his time with her. We would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
I left my dog Coco a maltipoo, with Tianyu for a week and Coco had a wonderful stay. Tianyu and Pipi were very warm towards him during meet and greet and Coco felt instantly comfortable with them. Tianyu was very diligent in sending daily videos or pics which made me relaxed during travelling. I am very happy i found Tianyu, I would highly recommend. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newark on Rover is $61.86 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,855 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.
