“It was Otto’s first time at Rover, and it was a wonderful experience. Shruti sent photos and videos throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease. Overall, we loved the experince and would definitely drop Otto off with Shruti again🤗 Thank you for taking such great care of Otto! P.S Loved Toto too🙂”
“Hong watched our dog Lylla for a daycare, and Lylla had an amazing time!! Our dog isn't the most trusting with people but she absolutely loved spending time with Hong. I was also sent updates throughout the day which was very much appreciated!! We will most definitely be bringing Lylla back to spend time with Hong 💙”
“Thank you Jie for taking good care of Archie ! Jie sent us photos and videos of Archie and was responsive to our messages. She is also very friendly. Archie enjoyed the stay and we’ll definitely rebook Jie in the future.”
About: We’re a dog-loving couple who enjoy caring for dogs as part of our daily life. We have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and following care instructions, including special needs. We’re patient, attentive, and focused on helping dogs feel relaxed and happy in a new environment. 我们也会说中文 I currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time with your pups throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. On weekends, I occasionally go out, but with advance notice and bookings, I always plan my schedule accordingly to make sure your pet’s care is never affected. I prioritize consistency, attention, and quality time, so your dog will always feel well cared for and comfortable. In my home, I provide a calm and safe environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive my full attention. I only care for one pet at a time to ensure personalized care and reduce stress. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play. My neighborhood is quiet and dog-friendly, making it ideal for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs are handled consistently, helping your pet feel comfortable and secure in their own space.
“We had another wonderful experience! They were incredibly communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, and made our dog feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them!”
“It was our first time our dog has been to any daycare and Dini did a great job reassuring us and accommodating our rambunctious pup! Dini sent frequent check in photos +videos of what our dog was doing and did a great job communicating throughout his stay. When we picked him up he looked extremely happy and gave some loving good bye hugs to Dini’s daughter as well. I would definitely be using Dini again when we can’t watch over our pup!”
“I left my dog, Brazil, with Justin for a one-day daycare stay, and it was a great experience. Justin was very responsive, reliable, and took excellent care of Brazil. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether it's going for walks, playtime, feeding, or giving plenty of love and attention, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I also have experience with basic obedience training and understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I'll treat your dog like one of my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If dogs could leave reviews, mine would definitely give me **two paws up!** 🐾 As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, care, and quality time for your pup throughout the day. Your dog will receive lots of love, supervision, playtime, and cuddles in a calm and caring home environment. I also have a very flexible schedule and am generally available any day of the week for boarding or daycare. I have a very friendly and patient golden retriever of my own that will keep your dog company. We live right near a wonderful park which would be perfect to walk your dog and let him/her play. Your dog will be super pampered with lots of love and cuddles.
“Thank you Su! Roxie had such a great time and was happy. Su takes lots of pictures and communicates well with dog owners. Definitely using Su for future dog sitting. Her place was perfect for a dog as well.”
“Thank you Daisy & Gloria & Mocha too , This our first time trying puppy care and we are so happy we found them. We especially appreciate the updates, photos, and the way they communicate about his day. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. The facility is clean, well-organized, and clearly designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. The staff treats every dog like their own, and it really shows.”
“Leo had a fantastic daycare stay with Shital! She loved and cared for him like family, and he came home happy and totally relaxed. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an stress-free pup care experience.”
“Lucy had a great time at Esala and Tiffany’s house. Esala is very responsive and sent a lot of pictures and updates. Their dog Penny is very friendly and playful and our dog Lucy, a one year old GSD, gets along great with her.”
“We booked with Yenju again because of how well she cared for Miso the first time. Once again she provided plenty of updates, check ins, and pictures. She was easy to communicate with, asked questions on Miso’s habits and what she likes, and gave her plenty of attention and mental stimulation. Thanks again!”
About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.
“Weiran did a wonderful job watching Mango. We felt completely at ease with Mango under her care. Grateful to have met a sitter that is attentive to Mango’s needs. Thank you Weiran!”

Esala was amazing with my pup! Even on such short notice, he was there to help out with watching him. Ranger is a very curious and energetic pup. Esala made sure his needs were taken care of while also communicating with me throughout the day to ensure he was safe and having a good time. Esala is someone who I would definitely recommend to others and will be going to for future stays!
Entrusting your pet with someone you do not know is high anxiety for a first time parent for a doggy daycare experience! We had the opportunity to meet Sarala and Appa Rao and their pup Chai prior to dropping Bella off for her first time for doggy day care. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl, knowing she was with the right family to care for her while we were away. She may have had a bit of separation anxiety but Sarala and Appa Rao knew exactly what to do and made her feel at home right away. Their pup is an Australian Shepard which has a similar personality and behaviors as our Border Collie. Couldn’t have been a more perfect match!! Thank you for making us feel very welcome in your home as well as Bella and caring for our pup as if she was yours!!
My dogs had the best time! We tested dog daycare before scheduling an overnight as one of my dogs is shy. He had the best time and they made sure he was included with the rest of the dogs. We are so happy we found Marina & Anwar. A place where I won’t have to worry about my pups while my family is away.
I feel very lucky to have found and engaged Ram and Jaya for doggie day care. They are nice people with big hearts for dogs: it was clear throughout our interactions that they understood and focused on my senior dog's needs. They took the time to get to know her, and made sure that they could provide a safe and comfortable place for her to stay while I attended an event. Their home is uncluttered with a lovely backyard; plenty of space for doggie movements. Communication was prompt, clear and helpful. I hope to contact them again for future needs.
Jaimie is great! Our goldendoodle is big shy boy and can take some time to get used to strangers but Jaimie handled him very well. He has been going back to Jaimie’s often now for daycare and his tail starts wagging when he sees her now. She sends daily updates on how he’s doing and is prompt with answering questions. I would highly recommend her.
Thank you Daisy & Gloria & Mocha too , This our first time trying puppy care and we are so happy we found them. We especially appreciate the updates, photos, and the way they communicate about his day. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. The facility is clean, well-organized, and clearly designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. The staff treats every dog like their own, and it really shows.
I’ve never seen my boy this happy, especially after being away from me since he has separation anxiety. When I picked him up, he was so happy and comfortable, which truly meant everything to me. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she gave him and will definitely be booking with her again.
Ushma and her husband (and their dog, Whiskey!) are amazing! Loochie, my 1.5 year old poodle had a blast with them! Ushma has been extremely caring, very prompt in responding to queries, and overall, extremely friendly to do business with! Loochie can't wait to get back to them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Newark on Rover is $47.73 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Newark commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,525 sitters in Newark, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
