“Jaimie and Chewie yet again, was so good to my pup Milo! Jaimie sends me photo updates throughout the day & the pictures of Milo and Chewie are so adorable! Thank you again for taking care of Milo, he always has a blast with you both!”
“Took care our puppy and she was very happy:) lots of pictures and communication which was great for our first time using a sitter. We were nervous and they took care to make sure our dog and also that we were comfortable. Thank you!”
“Dawn is the best Rover we could ever ask for!! She treated our dog like her own. It’s very obvious how deeply she cares about dogs. Leaving Tofu with Dawn eased our mind so much when we’re busy at work. Not only does she make sure he’s safe, she’s also making sure he’s having so much fun! Now when we take Tofu to Dawn, he’s happily wagging his tail with joy and doesn’t look back! We only have good things to say about Dawn. Thanks again Dawn!!”
“Ollie had his first stay with Jenny yesterday. We received photo updates and Ollie got his pee/poo breaks, dinner, medication as instructed. When he came home, he was calm & his usual self so it looks like he had a great stay! We will definitely book again.”
“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 💙”
“I very much appreciate Ruo’s attentiveness in creating such a comforting environment for my senior pup. Trinity is special needs (being both visually and hearing impaired). She is so calm when I pick her up - all signs of how at ease she is and evidence to the care Ruo provides to ensuring a stressful visit! ♥️”
“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!”
“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.”
“We’re so happy we found Pamela! From our very first interaction, we had such a good feeling about her. Rex is a sensitive boy with separation anxiety, so we’re always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. But throughout his stay, we felt like he was in really good hands. Pamela sent us photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was so reassuring to see Rex having a good time. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. When we picked Rex up, he was calm, happy, and not stressed at all. We’ve already booked several more stays with Pamela and are so glad we found someone we feel comfortable leaving Rex with. Highly recommend!! You’ll love her… but please don’t steal all of Rex’s future bookings! Haha 😂”
“Rose was excellent! Super flexible and took good care of my 7 month old puppy. We did a meet and greet prior to her babysitting and when I brought my puppy back for sitting, he was super excited to see her! It looked like he had a blast from day care & when he came home he was so worn out lol. I’m very happy she was kind to him and kept him stimulated and entertained! Would definitely book again”
“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”
“Our FMD Noodle had a great time with Phina! She came home tired from plenty of exercise in the backyard. Noodle tends to be scared in new environments (especially places with hardwood floors), but she seemed relatively at ease at Phina's place - Phina really knows how to connect with dogs! Her big heart and immense patience make her a great dog-sitter, especially for fearful dogs.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much, Ru, for taking such great care of Mochi! She had an amazing time and it’s clear she received so much love and attention while staying with you. I truly appreciate it—you made me feel completely at ease leaving Mochi in your care. I would absolutely trust you with her again in the future!”
“Jesse & Kimmy made Honor feel right at home. They sent lots of updates and we really couldn't have had a better experience. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“We used Ana and Mark for a month, while our kitchen got remodeled. The were awesome: always trying to make the experience work for us and for our dog. They deeply care about dogs, are incredibly good natured and were clearly very kind, warm and caring with our dog.”

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 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 $48.84 per day (as of September 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 5,545 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.
