“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”
“Absolutely the best dog sitter I could have asked for. She took care of Mona like she was her own, and kept us updated including pictures everyday. I highly recommend using Sam for your dog sitting needs.”
“It was a very good experience- we received lots of photos and she looked like she was having a great time with the other dogs. Very much appreciate the care she received!”
“I can't say enough about Marie and the great care she gives our little Chica. Chica is always excited when she sees Marie knowing she's going to be spoiled and get to ride in her doggie Uber lol. Marie is the best choice for our little girl!”
“Lourdes is everything you would expect from a top notch Rover. She was kind and patient and provided excellent care for our pup. She was very comunicative and sent may photos and videos, putting us at ease that our pup was well taken care of each and every day. We hope to book with Lourdes again when the time comes.”
“Cara and Dan were wonderful to work with. Sadie is a rescue and can be very skittish so I was delighted that she was so comfortable at their house. She warmed up to Cara more than Dan but I really liked both of them very much and would book again! Thanks Cara and Dan for providing a safe and caring environment for Miss Sadie🐶”
“Erika and her family were great with Parker while we were out of town for the week. She kept me updated with pictures and reassured me that he was settling in well and got along great with her other dogs. Erika is very thorough and took the time to make sure all questions were answered and any special needs were accommodated. We felt very comfortable leaving Parker with her and he had a great time and was well cared for! Thank you!”
“Our Goldendoodle, Piper was well cared for and loved by Lauren and Justin and family, while we were away in Europe for 12 days. She got along very well with their dogs and became part of their family. I would not hesitate to have our dog stay with them again, and would highly recommend them to others.”
“I am so happy with the level of care my dog gets with Dianna and Matthew! Dianna sends lots of pictures and updates so I know he is happy. When I can’t bring him along with me I feel very comfortable leaving him in their care.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I am happy to walk, bathe, feed, play, and cuddle! Comfortable administering meds or any other special requests. I recently lost my soul dog, so trying to get some extra dog love <3 I work full time but have a hybrid schedule! Usually work 9-5 M-F. Happy to check on pets before/after work and on lunch break. I have a small unfenced yard that I can take a dog to on leash. Happy to provide a crate if needed. Have loads of toys
“Our Lexi warned up to Sophia almost immediately, which is unusual for her. As a senior pup, Sophia had no problem giving Lexi her meds, which was comforting. Sophia was also patient with Lexi's accidents. Communication was good and pictures of Lexi appearing completely at ease warmed our hearts. Thanks, Sophia!”
“Sara did a wonderful job of taking care of my dog Pippa! She sent me a daily update and made sure that Pippa felt right at home! I highly recommend Sara, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Elizabeth made it so easy. I could tell Teddy was comfortable there from the pictures she sent and it was a huge relief to know he was with a family.”
About: I have been walking dogs and taking care of cats and dogs for years. I give cats and dogs some attention and play with them. I am currently available on weekends and week nights for walking dogs. I am flexible with the times on weekends. I can take dogs for more than 20 minutes to give them more exercise and an enjoyable time. If you need your dog (s) to stay at my house overnight or during the day on weekends, I can look after them, play with them, and walk them. I have a large fenced yard.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs of my own previously & hiked them around many trails in the area. My special skills would be that I am very patient when it comes to sniffing the grass!! I’m currently able to fit pet care into my routine and would love to spend time with yours! Feel free to reach out to me for more info I have an apartment with plenty of space for a pet. Your pet will be treated as my own, and be well loved and cared for!
About: I come from a family who has always had multiple pets at a time, with anywhere from 3 to 10 foster dogs under our care at any given time! I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs from smaller poodles and Shih tzus to much larger retrievers, border collies, and German shepherds. I have experience with cats as well, but much more lengthy experience taking care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments :) I am a med student so my schedule varies in flexibility but I live in a very walkable area and typically spend a lot of time at home studying! I love taking long walks in between classes and studying and would love to bring a furry friend along with me :) As I do have to be in classes some days for a few hours (no more than 3-4 at a time), i am better boarding pets who can be left alone for a couple hours. As for my home, I have plenty of space for them to run around freely.

Very easy to communicate with and provided updates when asked for. Samantha had an accurate schedule listed and was gracious about watching our dog on a major holiday. Yard is large and fenced in, perfect for dogs to play in and get some exercise. Would book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Newark is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 316 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Newark can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newark home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 NY 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.
