“Lifu was great with Lily, seems Lily had a good time staying over with her. Very good communication and punctual on drop off and pick up times, would recommend to other dog parents!”
“Starry and Gio were absolutely amazing! They took great care of our dog while we were away. They took many photos and videos of him. We will definitely be using Starry and Gio again!!!”
“Enrique was very kind from meeting him, to dropping and picking my dog up. He updated me everyday while he was gone and showed Suki love and care. When we picked her up I could tell she was happy and was going to miss him. Enrique is an amazing dog sitter and has great energy to him. I will definitely be trusting him with my dog and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Rochelle was absolutely amazing. She cared for our rescue kitty for an entire month and gave him exactly the love, patience, and support he needed to heal and get ready for adoption. Communication was always easy—she was extremely responsive and kept us well informed throughout. She was incredibly patient as we worked through multiple health issues and handled medications with no problem. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Rochelle to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable care.”
“Jestine was amazing, she really helped us during our wedding weekend and we even got to see our baby on our wedding day because of her. 10/10 for our first experience using Rover”
“This is my second time rebooking with Yuberkis and I have to say she is a fantastic at what she does! Wonderful service - keeps you updated consistently & sends you pictures and videos which is greatly appreciated. She was even kind enough to take the time to bathe my dog on her last visit. Cannot say enough good things, you will not regret booking with her!”
“Gracie was well taken care of with Jessica. She sent daily morning and evening photos so we could see our furbaby. She was quick to respond to us when we sent messages. I would recommend her. I intend to use her again when we are in the area.”
“Minako took wonderful care of my puppy while I was away. She picked him up and offered to drop him off. He also ate like a king while she prepared (with my permission) home cooked meals. He was living a great life while under Minako care.”
“This is now the 4th time Ekaterina and her family have baby sat for my girl, Loretta. Loretta is very nervous and has really bad separation anxiety. But Ekaterina and her family are always so wonderful with her! With them, I never have to worry about Loretta when my family and I go away; she is in perfect hands! I get constant updates and pictures. She’s taken for walks constantly and I get updated on it all. Ekaterina, I say this all the time, but you and your family are such a blessing to us! You are our forever sitter! ♥️”
About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.
“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”
“Spike had an awesome time during his stay. The sitter provided so many pictures of him enjoying himself with his new sitter and his dog Brooklyn. He can’t wait to come back and visit!!!”
“Angela (and her partner Dan) took great care of Truffle. They sent meticulous updates with photos throughout the day. Truffle got to spend plenty of time outside and was very comfortable in their home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
Maisha, is the best. We left our pup with her during our wedding and she made sure that our pup was fed and constantly sent update updates to let us know that our pup was okay. Maisha, was very communicative and responsive from the beginning and maintained communication throughout the whole process. We were a little nervous as this was our first experience using Rover however, we will definitely continue to use it in the future and book again with Maisha. Dont be hesitant, shes the best!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent dog sitter! She takes great care of my micro bully, Gigi, and treats her as if she were her own. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I always have peace of mind when Gigi is with her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Lifu was very kind and communicative! She took care of my pups over a week with a last minute requests and they both came back very well taken care of. She provided lots of pics and updates without asking and set my mind at ease while away. Could not recommend her more!
Neide is the only person I’ve trusted with my dog Champ ever since we moved to NJ. She’s amazing - very attentive, caring and great at communicating. I never worry about him when he’s with Neide and he always looks so happy to see her and happy on all the photos and videos she sends me during his stay. I couldn’t recommend Neide more!
Trust me, the reviews don’t lie! Nima was absolutely amazing watching my cat while I was away. She was very communicative, sent daily pictures and videos, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me such peace of mind during my vacation. My cat looked like he was having the best time of his 9 lives with her and came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I will absolutely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive with their pets. Thank you so much, Nima! You are truly wonderful.
I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! I had to leave out of state unexpectedly and realized at the last minute that I had made arrangements for everyone except our family dog. Thankfully, Klainer stepped in without hesitation and made the entire experience stress-free. Klainer kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. I will most definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!
From the second we met Joni I knew our dog Poppy would be in great hands. Poppy immediately felt comfortable with Joni and didn't even look back as we walked away during the drop off. Joni was in touch with us with pictures and messages about what Poppy was up to several times a day. We would recommend Joni to anyone who is looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Joni!!!!!
I recently booked with Jamin, and I can honestly say it felt like a true blessing. I’ve been raving about this experience to anyone who will listen! For the first time ever, I was able to go on vacation without constantly worrying about my dog—and that peace of mind is priceless. Jamin went above and beyond, keeping me updated with plenty of videos and pictures, which made it so clear that my dog was not only safe but genuinely happy and well cared for. His attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism truly set him apart. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your furry family member, Jamin is simply the best dog sitter you could ask for. Thank you again, Jamin—I’ll absolutely be booking with you again!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Newark on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 14,458 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.
