“KIrsten did a great job keeping my dog. i had a meet and greet before trip so I knew my dog would be in great hands. She was quick at responding and sent me pictures and updates. Kirsten was helpful when my plans changed and i needed to update dates. Will definitely rebook.”
“We’ve never boarded or left our dog overnight, so we wanted to make sure she’d have lots of attention and wouldn’t have to be crated for hours or overnight. I felt really comfortable leaving our dog with Tina. We did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. Tina sent pictures regularly during our stay and stayed in communication. She was happy and worn out from playing with other guest pups when we picked her up. You can tell that she and her husband really care about the dogs. They will always be our first choice for boarding now.”
“Beyond please with our 5 day 4 night boarding. We haven't ever boarded our 3 dogs before and should we need to board them again we will rebook. We loved having videos sent as just made us feel relaxed knowing they were so well cared for. Thank you Arya!”
“Ashleigh did a wonderful job! We got pictures constantly and she did her best to keep our dogs routine the same as if she were at home. Absolutely will use her again!!”
“Jill took excellent care of our dog! The pictures and updates were thoughtful and reassuring that our fur baby was in good hands and having a blast playing with her family and their dog! I absolutely recommend Jill to anyone in the area looking for a superior alternative to a boarding kennel. Your dog will be a part of their family during his/her stay.”
“Cristi is an amazing sitter for my mini labradoodle doodle Bella. She sends me updates and pictures during Bella’s stay. I never have to worry when I’m away from home because I know Bella is in Cristi’s care and is being well taken care of. I highly recommend her services.”
“Heidi was great! We had a family event to go to and it was all day. She sent pictures and updates while they were there. Heidi has a very safe environment for the dogs. There is a nice yard where they can play. My dogs were very comfortable there and did not bark once when we left. And I have a Chihuahua!”
“Joe continues to be our go-to sitter. I’ve actually planned trips around his availability because we don’t want our big baby to be with anyone else while we are gone. Luckily, he has a pretty open schedule and is so flexible and accommodating. We always get lots of photos of Archie and his cuddle time with Joe. 5 ⭐️”
“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.”
“Bill and Mary are always so kind to our doggos. We know the dogs have the best time on their vacation there. Bill sends great pics of the happy dogs and is an excellent communicator.”
“Scott and Katrina were wonderful! They communicated with us throughout Kona’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kona loved playing with their dogs and having their beautiful backyard to run around in. Scott and Katrina were both so sweet with her, and it was obvious that Kona felt happy and comfortable with them. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Karen was great with our 7 month old high maintenance Frenchie! She was even able to give her medications that were started right before we left on vacation! Moira had so much fun and was super worn out when we picked her up. Karen sent pictures and even a few videos. We will definitely be using her again in the future so watch our fur baby!”
“Amy provided outstanding care for my dog, Kallee, while I was in the hospital and then recovering at a rehabilitation facility. My stay was longer than expected, and Amy was so understanding and accommodating. She treated Kallee as if she were her own dog, giving her so much love and attention. Kallee was happy, well cared for, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Amy even brought Kallee to visit me at the rehabilitation facility, which was such a thoughtful gesture and truly lifted my spirits. I am so grateful for her kindness, compassion, and exceptional care. I will definitely use Amy again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Melodie”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with Osa, I went from feeling scared of leaving Osa to feeling comfortable Osa was taken care of. Her response time was almost instant for the entirety of Osa's stay, and she was so flexible when I needed to add pick up and drop off for unexpected events! Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”
“Could not rave about Elizabeth more!! She was amazing and my dog loved her!! I’m nervous leaving my dog anywhere, but she really put my mind at ease and was so understanding. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“We love Anjanette! She is our go-to sitter for whenever we are away. Milo is always excited to be with Anjanette and we know he will be treated as her family dog with love and care”
About: I've had dogs for the majority of my life. Over the past 20 years I've owned a cocker spaniel and 2 malshi. At one point I bread my Malshis and Mom had 5 beautiful puppies who I successfully placed in loving homes. I currently have one malshi who I absolutely adore. I have been a dogsitter for the past 3 years for a co-worker who travels a lot for work. I have experience with small dogs, muts and golden retrievers. I live in a lovely suburb ideal for dog walking. I also have a sizeable back yard for play. My dog loves the company of other pets. I currently work full time and work a hybrid schedule between the office and home. I have lots of dog toys for play, dog snacks and dog beds for sleeping. I have a good sized back yard with a leader for small dogs. My neighborhood is dog friendly and a great place to walk dogs. I can crate your dog if needed.

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 $32.1 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 780 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.
