“Kuma enjoyed her long term stay with Jie. Thank you for always being so caring and loving with Kuma❤️ I also appreciated the updates that helped ease my anxieties of being away from my baby!”
“Marsha was great with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a week. They seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her son. The daily pictures were much appreciated :)”
“Teresa is very nice and friendly. She offered to do a meet-and-greet ahead with us and answered our questions to make sure it’s a good fit for both of us. She provided us pictures and video throughout the stay and also brought our dog to the dog park during the weekend. Hiram looked very happy and relax during his stay and we will definitely work with her again in the future.”
About: Both my wife and I grew up with dogs as family members, and we’ve carried that passion into our adult lives. Over the years, we have been the trusted go-to for friends and family when they need reliable care for their pets during extended trips. Between our own childhood pets and years of caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, we’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique personality every dog brings into a home. We provide a true "home away from home" experience where your pup is treated like a member of our family. Our 11-year-old also shares our love for animals, ensuring there is always a buddy nearby for play and affection. Why we’re a great fit for your pup: Full Individual Attention: We only host one guest at a time. Your dog will never have to compete for space, toys, or cuddles. Active & Engaging: We love staying active and look forward to long walks and plenty of playtime in our large, grassy backyard. Personalized Care: We understand that every dog is different. Whether your pup is a high-energy "zoomie" specialist or a calm senior who just wants a sunny spot to nap, we adapt our routine to their specific needs and comfort. Constant Supervision: As a family team, we ensure someone is almost always present to provide companionship and peace of mind. Perfect for your long weekend outings! Available for boarding every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, giving you total peace of mind from your departure until your return. We know that for many pet parents, leaving your dog with someone new can be a stressful experience. As lifelong dog lovers, we truly empathize with that feeling—your pup isn't just a pet, they are a family member. To ensure a peaceful stay, we only host one guest at a time. Your dog gets our undivided attention in a spacious home without the stress of meeting unfamiliar pets. Our large, fully fenced grass backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor time to ensure your pup is safe and engaged. We strictly follow your specific feeding and exercise instructions to maintain your dog’s familiar rhythm. We also love sending frequent photos and updates so you can see your pup happy, relaxed, and enjoying their "staycation."
“I am delighted with my buddy's boarding at Su B.'s. He was in excellent spirit when I went to pick him back. I will use Su B.'s place for my pal in the future if available, and I highly recommend it.”
“Dawn is an exceptional, all star, gem of a dog sitter. Her love for dogs shines through in her care and she understands them well. Dawn watched our older dog, Lewis, while we were out of town and brought him into her pack for amazing hikes outdoors and loving cuddles indoors. She provided frequent updates and ample photos which put us at ease as we knew Lewis was in great hands. Lewis came back to us well fed, well exercised, and well loved. We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for him. Thank you Dawn!!!”
“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.”
“Gary and Monica are two amazing people and dog-sitters! We have had them watch our 3 year old Australian Shepherd a few times now and each time we have have so happy with how things have gone - we receive texts and pictures to update us on how our dog is doing, they are very flexible with timing, always quick to respond and it's very clear that they love dogs... and dogs love them back!”
“Nano as usual had an amazing time, this time boarding with Ashita! Ashita was very diligent in making sure Nano took her medications everyday and eating her breakfast everyday (important for our picky eater with a sensitive stomach). Highly recommend”
“Janine and her family took care of my dog so, so well- as if she was one of their own! Janine is quick to answer if I had any questions and her updates and pictures of how my dog was doing kept me in the loop and provided peace of mind knowing everyone was having a great time!”
“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.”
“Tracy was great! She got Yoshi to eat on the first day, which is very rare, so I know he was comfortable. She sent lots of pics and communication seamlessly. Great sitter, highly recommend and will use again!! ❤️”
“This is Mochi's first time ever boarding. We couldn't have picked a better sitter. Mochi loved being in her backyard watching the cats and birds nearby. She was happy and secure sleeping in the large open kennel. She had nice long walks with her boarding friend Ava. I would definitely book with her again.”
“I highly recommend Mary! This was my first time boarding Milo and he was in such great hands with her. I got pictures throughout the time I was gone which helped ease being away from my little guy. He looked so happy and I’m sure he didn’t want to come home! I will definitely be using Mary in the future :)”
“I’m very happy with the service I received! My dog stayed with Siqin and her husband for a couple of days, and it was a great experience. Siqin was very kind and responsive—she kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog clearly enjoyed her time with them and was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Siqin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“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!”
“My babies enjoyed their stay with Shavonne and will definitely be back! She took great care of them both, and had no trouble with my problem child (has high anxiety). Thank you for making it easy to relax while we were away ❤️?”
“Michael and Tyler were divided a truly wonderful and happy stay for our little girl. They welcomed her and made her feel right at home, and she clearly had such a blast with them. It’s so reassuring to be able to leave her with people who are going to love her and care for her as you would yourself. We will have no hesitation in leaving our girl with them again in the future.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me joy. In addition to raising my own pets, I’ve also helped many friends care for their dogs while they were away, so looking after other people’s pets isn’t new to me. I currently have two rescue dogs and one cat, and they’re truly part of my family. Because of them, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My dogs are medium to large breeds (about 50 lbs and 100 lbs), so I’m very comfortable handling bigger, energetic dogs during walks and playtime. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, including Bichons, Labrador Retrievers, Samoyeds, Huskies, and other breeds. One thing that sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets—I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing together, I treat every dog and cat like they’re part of my own little family. Seeing them happy is one of the best parts of my day. I also love taking photos and videos of all their adorable moments and sharing regular updates, so you’ll always know your furry family member is safe, happy, and having a great time. In my free time, I volunteer at a local animal shelter because spending time with animals is something I’m truly passionate about. Since I’m currently home full-time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care throughout the day. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and at home while you’re away, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for just like one of my own. I'm currently not employed so my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Since i'm home throughout the day, your dog will have lots of companionship, playtime, potty breaks and exericse. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, your pet will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day since I’m home most of the time. I live in an apartment with a private patio where we can enjoy some outdoor time and play games like fetch. We also have a convenient dog potty area just a short walk away, making bathroom breaks easy and frequent. For dogs that enjoy exercise and socializing, I’m also close to a community dog park and can take them there with your permission. If your dog prefers quieter walks or isn’t comfortable around other dogs, I’m equally happy to provide individual walks and one-on-one playtime instead. My two friendly rescue dogs love meeting new friends and make wonderful playmates for social dogs. However, I always prioritize every dog’s comfort and personality, and I’ll introduce dogs carefully and only if everyone is comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely to help your pet feel relaxed in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy seeing how your furry family member is doing while you’re away.
“Andrew was AMAZING!! If you are hunting for someone to care for your animal while you are away he will treat your pets like one of his own. He sent lots of pictures and videos, took her on lots of walks, and she loved playing with his pup. I know leaving your fur babies with strangers is so hard but he is an amazing sitter and one we will forever use as long as he keeps sitting. Trust me he is a great choice.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
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.
I had such a great experience with Judi! She took her time to get to know my dog Boo during our meet and greet, and she also gave me some tips/info on certain behaviors that Boo has. Throughout Boo’s stay she sent consistent updates and pictures/videos. Would definitely book with Judi again. Thank you Judi!
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.
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!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newark on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,847 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.
