“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.”
“Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service! They took great care of my dog and treated him like family. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!”
“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.”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“I will definitely book Tynesha and her family again, they were wonderful the entire time Empire was with them. Constant photos and updates throughout his time. Thank you again🩷”
“Starry & Gio were fantastic! This was our first time leaving Carmela overnight with a Rover, and we were so happy with the level of communication that they provided. We got consistent pictures and updates throughout the day. I’d definitely have Carmela stay with them again!”
“I had an amazing experience with Akshay. He took excellent care of my dog, Bagheera, and treated him like family from day one. Akshay made sure Bagheera got his daily walks, meals right on time, and plenty of playtime. I really appreciated how he asked questions in the beginning whenever needed—showing how responsible and attentive he is. He also sent daily updates, photos, and little notes about Bagheera’s mood and activities, which kept me completely relaxed while I was away. Another lovely part was Akshay’s dog, Sirius. Bagheera and Sirius became instant buddies! They played, relaxed, explored together, and honestly, it feels like Bagheera came back home with a new brother. Overall, Akshay is reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy Person. Your pet will be in wonderful hands!”

“Enrique is excellent! He was incredibly caring and attentive to Joey’s needs. Every day, we received updates without asking. He also proactively asked about Joey’s preferences and routine. From the wear on Joey’s nails, it’s clear that he got long and consistent walks every day! We’re so grateful for the care and attention Joey received — highly recommend!”
“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“Chi-Wing was amazing! This was our first time leaving our frenchie behind for an extended trip, and Chi-Wing allowed us to enjoy our travels while giving us full assurance that our pup was in the best hands. We received numerous pictures, videos and updates daily, which gave us a piece of mind that our dog was happy and enjoying her stay with Chi-Wing! We highly recommend Chi-Wing and we look forward to leaving our pup with him again!”

“Rosemeri was amazing! She took care of our two dogs and cat, and all three of them seemed to have a great time with her. Even our cat, who can be shy, was at ease with Rosemeri the day after dropping her off. Rosemeri was also super flexible when my flight got delayed, so I had to pick up the pets late into the night. I will definitely be leaving my pets with Rosemeri again.”
“Manuel was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the start, it was clear he truly cared—our pup took to him right away. We came home to a happy, calm dog and felt completely at ease thanks to his thoughtful updates. We’re so grateful and would trust Manuel again in a heartbeat!”
“Frazier enjoyed a second vacation with Jacqueline and her family. All of the videos and photos show how happy Frazier is interacting with the family and also his own little space for “alone time” which cats love. Thank you, so much, Jackie, for taking care of my buddy and for all of the love and attention you give him. I know he looks forward to another visit !”

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. 🫶🐶😃
Rosemeri was terrific during the entire process. This was the first time we used Rover and Rosemeri and we were very pleased with the service. She sent photos of our dog Duke on a regular basis. It was very convenient for us and we were very pleased with the service. We plan to use her services again this coming fall when we go away.
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!
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.
From the moment leo was dropped off, I knew he was in great hands. Miasha took such wonderful care of him and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Leo was treated with so much love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciated the excellent communication and how much she cared about his comfort and happiness. I would absolutely trust her with Leo again and highly recommend miasha to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!
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!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Brooklyn! She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly patient and understanding with his little quirks, and it was clear he was well cared for and loved. She even accommodated us for an extra night when our flight was delayed, which we were so grateful for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Jennifer! 🐾💛
Angie was absolutely amazing with our 6-month-old puppy! She kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, showing his playtime and how happy and comfortable he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with Angie again. Highly recommend!
Klainer took very good care or our Lulu with daily photos and updates. She was always very quick to reply to all my messages. She also followed the various guidelines we gave her to best care for our dog. Between her and her cousin, there was almost always someone at home with Lulu which put us at ease.
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!
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!!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
