“Our pup absolutely loved staying at Eduardo’s house! We would highly recommend him, he even dropped off our dog when we returned which was very nice and convinenet for us.”
“Jhazmin was amazing with our Pomeranian. Jhazmin was very attentive and sweet. She was very responsive and would send multiple updates per day. We FaceTimed with her and our pup multiple times and we could see the care she had for our pup. Our dog has a medical condition that requires constant monitoring and Jhazmin always made us feel at peace with our dog’s medication management. We are very happy with the service Jhazmin provided to our pup for 17 days. We definitely plan to work with her again and we highly recommend her if you’re looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. ❤️”
“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”
“I can’t recommend them enough! We were nervous to leave Elsa with anyone, but they were wonderful and treated her like family. The frequent updates kept our minds completely at ease. They were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Alekhandra is the best!!! Kept me updated and informed with photos of activities and saw how happy my boy was through out his stay which made my wife and I very comfortable. Definitely will be using her services again. Great work”
“If I could give Veronika 10 stars … I would! From the very beginning her expertise was on full display as she requested a detailed summary of questions to know exactly how to properly care for my dog, Marley. She was more than flexible, understanding, and willing to accommodate me for unforeseen circumstances (my dog ate chocolate and needed to see a vet prior to drop off time). Veronika communicated each day and provided pictures/videos that really made me feel at ease knowing that Marley was okay. She even provided Amazon links and recommended several types of harnesses and leashes for my dog to utilize since his harness is too big. I highly recommend Veronika to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Her family was wonderful with Larry my 11 year old yorkie that is new to boarding. They made him so comfortable and kept me updated everyday.”
“We left our dog Obi with Chi-Wing for 4 days and my dog truly enjoyed his time! He was so happy when we picked him up. My dog has had a hard time with being away from us and he was so happy with all the dogs and ofcourse their care. Thank you so much! We are so glad we finally found our regular dog sitter. Can’t wait to use you two again!”
“Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of our girls while we were away! She kept us updated as needed & we got a lot of cute pictures. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our girls were in such a loving home. We would love to book her again!”
“Absolutely amazing! Our experience with Ziming was perfect 👍🏼 she showed she truly and really cared about our boy Frank! Communication was seamless and the daily pictures gave us peace of mind.”
“Darien and her family took amazing care of my pup and we are so grateful. We will absolutely be back! She worked with me for a pre meet and greet for myself and my pup. She got my dog to be more comfortable with her food and her surroundings in a new place with ease.”
“Excelente servicio cuido muy bien de mi perrita le dio cariño compañía la chica es muy amable y te mantiene informada de los paseos y rutinas que realiza a tu mascota la recomiendo un 💯 %”
“I’m so glad we found Devin. He took such great care of our sweet but anxious pup for a week. He was very responsive and sent lots of photos and videos. He clearly loves dogs and went above and beyond!”
“Katsiaryna and her brother were amazing with Simba! She allowed me to see her space where Simba would board over a few days and really made me and Simba feel at home. Lots of videos and photos along with updates were sent and appreciated. I would highly recommend her to other parents as well and would love to have Simba return!”
“Shirley was such a great sitter for our dog Leo! He can be high energy and she took him on walks, played with him, and kept us updated with many pictures. She was also very responsive and flexible with us when our plans changed last minute. Will definitely be booking again!”
“I honestly can’t recommend Justine enough. From even before I booked with Rover, she was incredibly communicative, transparent, and kind. We were in contact for weeks before Max’s stay, and she took the time to answer all of my questions and make me feel completely comfortable. As a first-time Rover user, that meant so much to me. While I was away in Mexico, I never had to wonder how Max was doing. Justine sent regular updates with photos and videos, and it was obvious from every update that she genuinely cared about him. She didn’t just watch him—she spent time with him, played with him, and gave him so much love and attention. It was clear he wasn’t just another pet to her. When I picked Max up, he was happy, relaxed, well-fed, and acted like he’d been home the whole time. That’s probably the biggest compliment I can give. I could tell he felt safe and cared for every single day he was with her. On top of that, I accidentally left some of Max’s belongings at her house, and she even took the time to drive them back to me. That level of thoughtfulness really says everything about the kind of person she is. This was my first experience using Rover, and because of Justine, it couldn’t have gone better. She exceeded every expectation I had, and I would trust her with Max again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Justine!”
“Stephanie’s amazing! My baby Beau was given so much care and love in those two days I needed to be away. I get so anxious whenever I leave him because we’re so attached to the hip, but now he met his new BFF and I’m glad it was Steph! ❤️ Plus it doesn’t hurt that she’s only a few houses away! Now, whenever Beau and I will take a walk and passes by her house, he would stop and look up her door to see if she’s gonna open up and play with him ❤️? He loves her! I’m definitely gonna be using her services again because I know that my Beau-beau is in good hands with her.”
“Christina took wonderful care of my pet, Koffee, for the day. Koffee can be a little nervous at first, but he warmed up quickly thanks to the patient, gentle attention he received. I really appreciate the regular updates and photos—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Christina and contact her for any needs in the future.”

Jordano was wonderful! He sent regular updates on my pup (Doc Holliday) and was very patient and understanding while he adjusted to a new place. Jordano and his mom took exceptional care of Doc and showed him lots of love and attention. They even went above and beyond by giving him a bath and getting him a couple extra toys. All in all, it was a phenomenal experience. Definitely recommend!
MAISHA IS THE BEST 🥰 Her service is absolutely exceptional, and I recommend her 100% 😉. She looked after my Max for the first time; I had been searching for someone trustworthy for over three years until I found her, and we couldn't have left Max in better hands. Her professionalism and love for animals were evident from the very start—she has two pets of her own, so Max was happy hanging out with his little friends. She was incredibly attentive the whole time, keeping us updated with constant photos and messages, which gave us huge peace of mind while we were away—and that peace of mind was exactly what I was looking for. Her communication and dedication are impeccable. If you’re looking for someone completely trustworthy to care for your pet, don’t hesitate to choose her; I recommend her 100%... We will definitely be using her services again...

Jenni is an amazing pet sitter! The perfect dog mom replacement for when I need to leave Gus behind. She is very communicative and sent wonderful update photos. Gus is a nervous nelly and gets a little bit of separation anxiety and by the second update picture, I could tell he was already relaxed with her.
Marlo S. has been helping with my dog Scout for a while now, and I've always had a great experience with her. She's easy to communicate with, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Scout is always happy to see her and comes back from his walks relaxed and in a good mood. It's good to know I can count on someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. I would definitely recommend Marlo to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you. 🫶🐶😃
I can't recommend Darrin and Debra enough! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, so I always knew my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. They went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine stayed consistent, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's such a relief to find someone who is not only reliable but also truly passionate about animals. I will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.
Had such a wonderful experience with Johara as a dog sitter! From the very beginning, the attentiveness and genuine care for my 2 dogs was evident. Time was devoted to understand each of their personalities and routines, which made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, especially the special treats—it was such a sweet gesture, and my pups absolutely loved it! I was also kept updated with frequent messages, and photos, which gave much peace of mind while away. I will happily book again. Highly recommended, Johara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Newark on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 14,508 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newark. About 88% of Newark sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
