About: Since the age of 15, I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ dogs, building a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve worked in several professional pet care facilities, gaining invaluable experience. However, I realized I wanted to provide the same level of personalized care I’d expect for my own pets. That’s why I decided to set out on my own, offering compassionate, tailored care for every furry friend I meet. I currently have an open schedule and can accommodate most requests. I only will take one owners pets at a time in my home so please keep this in mind if you need boarding services. I have a large fenced yard with 3 sides blocked by buildings giving dogs a safe secure place to exercise and relax. I also live near Branchbrook park for longer walks. When taking care of pets in your home my goal is be as non intrusive and respectful as possible. I'm happy to follow any requested procedures to ensure your full comfort.
“My dachshund Aleph had a great time with Ayush and I suspect he didn’t want to come back home, so well was he taken care of! Ayush went above and beyond to make him feel at home and I was at ease during my vacation that he was in such great hands!”
About: A strong commitment to treating every pet “like you do,” with a satisfaction-focused approach centered on each animal’s happiness, comfort, and well-being. Having 20+ years of professional pet care experience, giving owners confidence that their pets are in knowledgeable hands Paws N Claws Pet Service is a full-time part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day is organized around scheduled pet visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and client updates. Throughout the week, I coordinate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and tailor care to each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive reliable, personalized attention. I provide personalized, in-home care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follows their normal routine as closely as possible. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. If needed, I can administer medications according to the owner’s instructions and monitor each pet for any changes in behavior or health. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.
“Nicolle and Ronaldo provided excellent care for my puppy Pecan during my time away. They kept him active and engaged with plenty of walks, playtime, and even dog park visits with their dog, Luna. It was great to see my pup had company and socialization. The updates were detailed and frequent, and it was clear Pecan was happy and well-cared for. I'd happily book them again!”
“Could not recommend Sanaz enough, she is communicative, charismatic and reasonably flexible about drop off and pick up. We have a big, high energy dog and he came home a tired boy!”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“George was so amazing to Turbo!! his little dog and Turbo got along very well. He gave me a daily update and took Turbo on nice walks. I really appreciate him working with my flight schedule.

Yunyi is an excellent dog sitter. She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond to keep me updated with pictures and videos. Also, her pets (Donut and Bagel) are so lovely and I am sure they were a great company for my baby. Thank you for everything. Definitely will book again!
It was a pleasure meeting Enrique and having my boy Lucky with him for a last minute overnight stay. Enrique was very communicative from the meet and greet to when he was actually with my pup. Lucky came home happy and smiling. Would not hesitate to book with Enrique again!
Hsin and Phil were very responsive and caring during Brooklyn’s stay. They kept sharing pictures and regular updates with us, which gave us great peace of mind while we were in Turkey. We could tell that Brooklyn really enjoyed his time with them and felt comfortable in their home. We’d definitely book with them again in the future. Highly recommend!
Shannel did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Macy! ❤️ She was so caring, attentive, and gentle with her, and we could tell that Macy was happy and comfortable in her care. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Shannel to everyone!
Yan did an amazing job caring for our dog, Peach! She was incredibly detailed in her care, and truly went above and beyond. She was extremely responsive and made sure to send pictures of Peach while we were away, which we appreciated greatly. I highly recommend Yan if you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter!
I am a repeat customer which speaks to the quality of care Johara provides to my dogs. She is reliable, caring, communicative, and always treat my pets like her own. What really stands out is how she pays attention to the little things that make my fur babies comfortable and happy, which gives me so much peace of mind while away. I truly appreciate her consistency, thoughtfulness, and genuine care, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
Maisha was absolutely amazing with Honey! Her communication was great from start to finish. She was very responsive, kept me updated throughout Honey’s stay, and sent plenty of pictures, which I really appreciated. She took Honey on walks, made sure she was comfortable, and truly treated her like she was her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Honey was being well cared for while we were away. I would definitely book with Maisha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐾
From booking his stay to picking up my dog after my trip, Christabel was communicative and trustworthy. In the initial visit to her apartment, it was evident it was very clean, safe, and stylish. She proactively asked for documentation needed in case of emergency which is thoughtful. Throughout my dogs stay I received numerous photos and videos of him being walked or lounging, and he didn’t seem anxious like he usually is in new situations. He stopped eating like I mentioned to her, and she went out to get a different wet food for him which he loved! She also got him a small ball at the same time to try a new toy. I have used more expensive pet boarding services in the past, and decided to try rover to save money. Im glad to say the service provided by Christabel was so personable and comforting I was able to relax on my trip knowing my dog was in good hands.
Sonya was amazing with our doggie Kylo. This is Kylo’s first time away from home and familiar faces so he was anxious. Sonya made sure to treat him like her own and kept me up to date on his stay. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing sitting services and her doggie also made Kylo feel welcomed.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newark on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,039 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.
95% 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 NJ 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.
