“Tina is amazing! She truly cares for your family pets like they’re hers. I love her picture updates letting us know how our baby girl is doing. She’s flexible with her schedules and quick to respond to requests or questions. We’ve used her for both daycare and boarding and will continue. Thanks to Tina my husband and I were able to go away on vacation and not have to worry about whether she was happy or not.”
“Pam & her family were so awesome with Oscar while we went on a very special vacation, a celebration of our 35th Anniversary. They took Oscar into their family like he was their own. Definitely recommend Pam & her family. As long as it’s not when we need them again.”
“Ashleigh was wonderful with my senior dog. He is very timid and from the pictures, he seemed to be right at home with her. Made me very happy he had a safe, secure and loving place to stay while I was traveling.”
“Jill and her family took excellent care of our baby! Great Danes can be a bit of a handful, but Jill took everything in stride and was super communicative about how she was doing. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bill and his family's home is our little Scamp's favorite place to stay when we go out of town. He always has such a good time with their dogs and Bill is super easy to work with :)”
“Scott was so wonderful with my kitty, Chester. He took such good care of him! I received daily pictures and updates. He was also very communicative and worked with me on a little later pick up time. Thank you Scott!!”
“Love leaving Oliver over there! Always sends pictures which I always like knowing how he’s doing. He comes back happy and gets to play with his pup. So accommodating and nice. Can’t recommend enough”
“Deanna was patient with our 7 months puppy who needed extra love and attention! She kept us updated with pictures and images. Our puppy even bonded with her pack! They came home happy and well.”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“This was our first time leaving Rufus anywhere overnight and he did fabulously! Karen was good to send updates and pics to assure me that Rufus was having a great time! He hit it off with Boomer and the two played all day and night. By time we got Rufus home, he was a happy, tired boy! :) We already have Karen scheduled for our next outing. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha responded promptly to questions and updated often on how our boy, Tate, was doing . Tate had so much fun, I was worried he may not want to come home 😆 Highly recommend Samantha!”
“Hannah and Daniel took great care of my dog while I was gone! I know she can be an anxious dog so it was great to see photos of them and their daughters loving on her like she was their own”
“Will and Bibiana were awesome. Responsive, kind, and sent photos while we were apart from our dog. Luna was clearly relaxed and well attended to in their home.”
“Darah took wonderful care of Mysti while I was out of town. Daily updates and photos were sent to me and I could see how content Mysti felt in her home. Will definitely book pet visits with Darah again for future trips trips away from home.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
Jill and her family are amazing. I was nervous about leaving my fur babies with someone they didn’t know. But Jill and her family took care of them as their own. Tonight I booked them again and my dogs went right in and seemed to be at home. I highly recommend her for your fur baby

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newark on Rover is $31.08 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 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 July 2026, there are 776 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.
93% 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 OH 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.
