“Cristi did a great job caring for my dog for a long trip we were on. She is very responsive and was easy to work with, especially considering some of the unusual aspects of our trip uncertainties. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great boarder!”
“Ashliegh was fantastic with our puppy. Couldn’t ask for better care and trust. She constantly sent us pictures and kept us update on how our puppy was doing. She is the best!”
“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.”
“Bill & Mary are wonderful pet sitters! We have used them a few times now for a variety of stays ranging from 2 days to 5 days. We have always had a good experience! Grizzly can be a bit of an anxious dog, but he leaps out of the car excitedly whenever we pull into their driveway. They are also very communicative with photos and messages which I appreciate! I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable and attentive place to stay for their pup.”
“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!”
“Jodi & Reya were stupendous to our German Shepherd, Kira. Jodi was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and superbly friendly and welcoming to us, our schedule, and with Kira. We actually learned a bunch about how to help all parties get comfy with future boarding events which was tremendously helpful and heartwarming. We got lots of updates and were so happy to see that Kira was "part of the family" loved and comfortable with her stay! Jodi and Reya helped us tremendously in a complicated time with Kira, as she was dealing with some crazy allergies and were very receptive and helpful in administering some pills to Kira. Which is far above and beyond the call of duty in my eyes. Thank you so so so much. And as icing on the cake, their two adorable fluff-balls Mochi and Garbanzo are an absolute delight. And were super friendly and welcoming to our normally skittish and timid Kira. 11/10 would recommend. Absolutely look forward to booking with again!”
“Jill was easy to communicate and always responded right away. I was able to set up a meet in greet ahead time which made the transition when we left or pups with Jill while we were gone. See sent a daily update on how they were doing which was much appreciated.”
“Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much Alyssa for watching my baby. She was so accommodating to the hours I wanted to pick him up. Her home felt warm and inviting and extremely gorgeous. When I'm back in Ohio I will for sure check her availability. Such a very kind person. Thanks for you and your family for your time.”
“Kyla was great with Sophie. Sophie is 12 now and needs special care and medications. Kyla was very kind and sweet with her. When we were getting ready to leave, Sophie ran up and gave Kyla some kisses. We will definitely book her again.”
“Deanna took great care of our pup and was sure to send lots of updates with cute photos and videos. Our dog had fun playing with hers and running around in her spacious yard!”
“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!”
“Taylor did an amazing job watching Mabel! She sent us daily updates and she seemed happy and well taken care of. We will be booking with Taylor in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Joe has quickly become our go to sitter! Hank was so excited to see him and Duke! As nervous dog parents we feel like we’re actually able to relax when we’re away as we know he’s in very good hands. Thanks again for the great care you provide!”
“I think my 2 dogs had a wonderful stay with Karen! She was quick to respond whenever I sent a message and I really appreciated the adorable videos she sent of my dogs “talking” to us. We will definitely be reaching back out next time we need a dog sitter :)”
“Top notch! Elizabeth is a very responsible and responsive sitter. My pup had so much fun - I could tell she didn't really want to come home. Will certainly use Elizabeth's services again!”

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.
