“Hong and her family were awesome, they took care of my fur-baby as if she was their own. Hunny can be a handful with so much energy and Hong took it all I stride. Def my first choice if/when I need a sitter again”
“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!!”
“Lily has been an absolutely awesome to work with. She was very caring and loving with our dog. She sends us pictures at least twice or thrice a day keeping us updated about how our dog is doing which kept us informed and at peace. Our dog loves to spend time with lily and her family and we have seen this first hand when our dog gets super excited when we enter their street. I am more than happy with Lilly’s service and recommend her for sure.”
“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.”
“We had the most wonderful experience with Siqin dog sitting for us for a week! They took such good care of our dog and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They also made sure all his medications were given on time. We could tell he was happy and well looked after. We would absolutely book them again!”
“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”
“We had our 2 cats (Aurora and Orion) stay with Zhiya over the 4th of July weekend. We couldn't be more happy with the care and service she provided them. We knew just by meeting her that she was the right person for the job. And her "cat room" in her home was plenty big enough, clean, and filled with pet toys to keep them entertained. During our trip, she would send updates and pictures of how they were doing giving us great comfort. We highly recommend Zhiya's services to care for your pets during your trip too. Your pets will thank you for it. 🐱 Sincerely, Fred Roy”
“Nancy was a great host for my dog. She was very responsive and provided me frequent pictures. She and Toucalit are really nice and my dog looks like he had a great time. Thank you both so much!”
“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!”
“We boarded our German shepherd (Bentley) with Ken for nearly 2 weeks while we were out of the country. We were extremely happy with the way Ken took care of our Bentley. Ken was very professional and extremely caring towards Bentley. He was flexible with the drop-off/pick-up timings. He kept us up to date with pictures and videos almost every day :) I even had to suggest that he didn't need to send pictures & videos that often :) Bentley has made friends with Neo, which is wonderful for us coz Bentley wouldn't easily mingle with other pets. Bentley thoroughly enjoyed his stay at Ken's place! We'll definitely book with Ken in the future! :)”
“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.”
“This was Fluffy’s 4th time staying with Caddie. Everything went smoothly and Caddie kept us updated with photos and videos. Fluffy enjoys her time with Caddie too and we do not have to worry about Fluffy.”
“Lavanya is super caring for our dog Cho Cho. She sent us photos and videos every day. Cho Cho looked really happy at her house playing with her dog Coco. Overall 5 star experience.”
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.
“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.”
“Dini has always been my go-to for dog boarding. Mello had so much fun when she was at Dini’s house and every time she doesn’t want to go home with me. Dini and Ajay took very good care of Mello as always, really appreciate the love and care :)”
“We used Lihuan's service for the first time via Rover so there was the usual stranger anxiety. However, we were able to do a video call with her in advance which put us at ease. She was super responsive via the app before, during and after which was so critically important to us! We got a lot of timely pics and videos from her, easily available updates and alignment on feeding, bio-breaks and walking events through the app and extremely quick drop off and pickup timings. My dog came back looking normal and happy like we left her. I would use her service again and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Newark is $75

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!
Tyson had a wonderful time with Sriram and family.They looked after Tyson so well and gave him plenty of love and attention. They took special attention to all his needs and was very accomodating to our last min travel plan changes. They kept updating frequently with picture of him and also about his day to day routines.I am extremely happy to have found them and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring place for their pup.
We had a great experience with Jie's onboarding service! It was our dog’s first time, and we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and relaxed she was throughout the process. She's already well-socialized with other dogs, and this gave her an opportunity to meet even more furry friends. It was wonderful to see her settle in so quickly, make new buddies, and enjoy herself. . The couple was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel confident leaving her in their care. We’re looking forward to future visits!
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.
Vicki is such a wonderful pet sitter. I truly love that she took care of my love ones as if they were hers. She did exactly what I had given her for instructions and more. She is a very trustworthy sitter and would highly recommend her for new clients looking for pet sitter. Vicki was very prompt as well with updates and sending videos and pictures which made it that much more easier to not worry my loves ones behind. She has definitely earned my trust with my babies and they (my dogs) loved her soo much as well that they did not want to go home. lol 😂 Thank you soo very much Vicki for being a great help to my furry family and myself.
Jaimie was excellent sitter. She was very communicative and answered all ofy questions. I had a lot of instructions to her as my dog was dealing with some skin infection. She followed those instructions to the Tee. Jaimie was very accommodating as well The fact that my dog was confused between choosing me vs Jaimie when we went to pick her up was telling that my dog had a great time with Jaimie.
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!
We recently booked Savita to care for our dog Ayra. Since the time I requested the booking Savita and her husband were both super communicative. They made sure we had a meet and greet before we finalize them as Ayra’s caregiver. The way they introduced Ayra to their dogs and the way they made Ayra comfortable around themselves speaks about how much they care. From drop off to pick up Savita was always in touch with us and super quick with her response. Ayra came home happy and tired. We will definitely have Ayra board with them again.
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!
We are so grateful when Namita and Sijan can watch our Chewy. Chewy has separation anxiety and seems to appreciate plenty of attention in their home, and is comfortable there surrounded by other dogs his size. We always love getting pictures of him hanging around the house with his friends.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Newark
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.
