“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🙂”
“Ethan and Cecilia were great! They took tons of pictures for us and kept us updated through the day with everything. We really appreciated their thoughtfulness and willingness to learn how to take care of our furbabies. They definitely went above and beyond. Thanks guys!”
“I did a trial run with Dini today and it was great! Ruby came home tired, filled with so much fun and excitement. Dini was accommodating and patience with me as a first time Rover user. Through out the day I got pictures and videos of Ruby, especially since I was concern with her interactions with other dogs and potty issues. But Dini made sure I didn’t have anything to worry about. Thank you!”
“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.”

About: I've grown up with dogs, and have had a dog as a pet and companion for most of my grown up life. I have even trained and boarded families dogs in the past. Our home is very pet friendly, as long as your pet doesn't mind little humans and another dog in the house. I just recently completed a beginners training program with my 8 month old dog, and we both learned a lot. We have a yard and a nice park next to our house, which is great for walks and playing with dog friends. I'm home most days, so I usually give my own dog several yard brakes a day, and he gets at least one visit to the park a day. I try to take him twice, but we don't always have time. When it comes to feeding, I'll follow any routine that is normal for your dog, but for our own dog, he eats 3 times a day. Plus a snack since he's still growing. The longest stretch your dog might be alone is about 4 hours, but mostly someone is around to keep your dog company. I have a fenced yard, that they can run around in with my dog. We also have a park next to our house and we go there, at least once a day for walks and to play.
“Our doggo had a great time with Lihuan and would definitely consider Lihuan again. She is very responsive and communicative. Sends photos and videos throughout the day to ease your mind that our doggo is doing fine. AAA+++ service”
“They were great! They sent near hourly updates, included him on their trail, and provided blankets so he didn’t struggle on hardwood flooring. Next time I’ll provide additional blankets!”
“Charlie is a shy senior dog that has some separation anxiety who's been pampered all his life.We were happy for the updates and pictures on his day by Kseniia since we also have separation anxiety 😂. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Eevee enjoyed her time in doggy daycare with Krystal and Quinn! They were great with sending photo updates throughout the day and provided plenty for her to do including taking her on walks.”
About: CPR AND FIRST AID certified. I will baby your pet so much. I will protect them and play with them. I will care for them as if they are my own. Ima a part time babysitter and work from home for my family business. I create my own schedule and can move things around in your favor. My home has lots of toys, separate ones for pets i take care of. They get washed daily. I have a fenced patio and a beautiful outdoor community full of grass and trees where I can walk around with your pet. I have a cozy living room where your cat can hang out. I also live across the street from the park.
About: I love dogs and I always take care after my friends dog when they leave for vacation. I would love to meet and take care of more furry friends:) I am currently working from home so I have time and energy take care up to 2 small dogs on a daily basis. Please feel free to let me know if there are special needs. I currently do not own any pets. I live in a single family house and across from a park so I could take doggies to park often if needed.
About: What sets me apart is the time, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I’m home full time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long hours; I’m able to stick closely to their routine, provide companionship, and quickly respond to any needs. I’m also very observant, which is especially important when caring for senior pets or those with special needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m patient with shy, anxious, or high energy pets. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, helping a senior pet move around comfortably, or keeping a puppy on track with their training schedule, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Since I stay home to support my family, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine; I’m used to feeding on schedule, cleaning up, taking pets out, and making time for play and exercise. Being home allows me to respond quickly to their needs and keep a close eye on their well-being. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and love creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I prioritize keeping their routine as close to normal as possible to help them feel secure. At my home, I provide a clean, pet safe environment with regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I follow any special instructions, like medications or preferred toys, and keep pets supervised and comfortable. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and cleaned up after according to the owner’s instructions. I also take time to bond with the pet, so they feel safe while their owner is away. I keep in touch with updates and photos, so owners know their pet is in good hands.
“Madhurupa took great care of our fur baby Ekko. Leaving Ekko at a daycare is always a stressful time for me. Madhurupa shared pictures of Ekko & he looked very happy. Happy Ekko, Happy Mommy. Thank you so much Madhurupa for taking care of Ekko. I would definitely leave him with you in future if needed.”
About: We’re an engaged couple looking for more time with pets! We’d love to give your pet extra care, companionship, and affection while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We only care for one pet (or one family) at a time so your pet can get plenty of attention with us. As a couple, your pet gets double the care and companionship at no extra cost! We especially enjoy boarding pets in our home. We don’t have pets or children of our own. Our private fenced backyard allows for plenty of space to play. We go on 1–2 walks a day and would love to have your pet join us! We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them a home-away-from-home! 🐾🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, so we decided to do Rover! We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be. We also have a private fenced backyard.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
Lavanya did an excellent job communicating and taking great care of Sheru. She sent regular updates throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind. Sheru was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when I picked him up. Her dog, Coco, is also very friendly and was a wonderful companion for Sheru. I would definitely recommend Lavanya!
Excellent sitter and very easy to work with.Communication was great, I could tell my dog felt comfortable after the 1st day. I would happily use their services again. Not sure though if she walked Raley,but she has a nice backyard where she let the dogs play and relax outside which is great. Walking is a part of my dog's daily routine so it would be nice to have that included on the services. Great sitter though.
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’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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Newark is $49 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $60 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 5,488 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Newark. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
