“Buddy had a great time! He enjoyed the fenced yard, he really enjoyed the companionship of the owners 2 dogs and the guest dog that was there also. We enjoyed the videos that we were sent to let us know he was happy and well cared for while we traveled. Dana’s children were awesome with Buddy also. I am happy to have discovered Rover. Thanks for the Love”

“I can highly recommend Rene and her family! I have boarded my 2 dogs with her twice in the last few months and was very pleased each time! It is easy to see that she and her family are real animal lovers!”
“Kyla provided exceptional care for my dog, Emerald, while I was away on vacation for five days. Not only did she keep me updated with pictures and messages, but she also went above and beyond by accommodating an extra day when I fell ill upon my return. Kyla's dedication and attention to detail made me feel confident that Emerald was in good hands. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog boarder.”
“I truly have no words to express how wonderful Jamie is! My fur baby was treated like a member of the family, even got to take the kids to school. My pup is already asking to go back! Will definitely have Jamie babysit my baby again.”
“Tharatip & Daniel did a fantastic job sitting for Chewie! They sent several pics and videos over the weekend while they watched her. They were treating her like part of their family which is what we were looking for. Thanks again!”
“It's really difficult to trust your baby with someone. But I could tell that Emily really loves dogs and I knew my boy would have a good weekend. I barely checked in because I could tell he was safe and happy when I left him with her. Will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thank you again!”
“She was very patient with my Bella and kept in contact with me the whole time. We were nervous because this was our babies first boarding she kept us informed. We could really tell Tamisha really cares about every dog.”
“Laken is incredible. She sent the best updates and pictures while Biscuit was staying with her. I know anytime Biscuit is with Laken he is being well cared for and having the best time.”
About: I have lived on a farm since I was born until college, and my parents still live on one. I love all animals and always willing to help out. I don’t mind if they are wild puppies or older dogs we will get though the walk or stay together! I only work 2 days a week, so my schedule is pretty open! I have a very large back yard not fenced in, but I can take out all dogs on a leash.I have one other dog that your dog can play with or we can play inside to make sure everyone stays safe! I plan on walking them throughout the neighborhood. If I go to a clients house whatever the clients wants me to do to best care for their dog I will.
“We had Charli and Cookie stay over the thanksgiving holiday and they had a blast! Very communicative and attentive. The girls came back happy and exhausted from playing all day! Will be bringing them back in the future!”
“Joy was a great pet sitter while we were out of town. She watched over our two senior dogs, and gave them all the love and attention they needed. Joy was very communicative throughout their stay and understanding as we had delays getting home. We would recommend and use Joy again!”
“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.”
About: Former dog mom turned professional pet spoiler. I've been owned by two dogs and regularly watch friends' pets. You'll get LOTS of pictures, adorable updates, and the occasional letter directly from your buddy while you're away. I do work full time, but close to home so I'm out about 9 hours. I'm happy to take on pups that are potty trained. They get breaks and walks in the morning and breaks and walk all evening and night. When I watch dogs, my social life is limited, as I find much more joy loving on your little ones. 😍 I have open availability and am able to watch your pet in my home or yours. I'll treat your dog like my own, spoil them, give them all the love, or as much space as they choose. Your baby is allowed on the furniture and in bed, if they like, and you allow. We follow your rules and your routine, as much as possible, and any diversions from routine will be communicated.
“Deanna provided such a great experience for my fur baby. She was very attentive to her and made her feel right at home. Deanna kept me informed of her progress and provided me with pictures and videos throughout her stay. Deanna’s dogs are very social and well behaved and welcomed my dog into their little pack. I could tell my Sofee had the time of her life. I would definitely rebook with Deanna.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nicolette. She’s sweet and compassionate. She took care of my little Princess like she was her own. I know she gave her lots of love and attention and cuddle time. Princess gets two eye creams twice a day and Nicolette handled that with no problem. She gave me daily reports about how Princess was doing and she sent lots of pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Nicolette and I know she took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Victoria and the care she provided for my dog, Louise. Louise stayed with her for 9 days, and it’s clear she had an absolute blast the entire time. Normally, Louise is full of non-stop energy, but when she got home, she was completely tuckered out—in the best way possible! That alone told me she had a fun, active, and fulfilling stay. Victoria went above and beyond to make sure Louise felt at home. She provided updates throughout the stay, was super communicative, and treated Louise like one of her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and gives them the time, attention, and love they deserve, Victoria is the one. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again. Thank you, Victoria, for taking such amazing care of Louise!”
“Justen was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup. He sent pictures and made me feel secure that my pup was safe and being cared for as if she were his own!”
“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”

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

There are 796 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newark. About 89% 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.

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 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 OH 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.
