“Makae was a lifesaver when she was able to take care of my dog last minute. I was nervous because I hadn't used Rover before but she made me feel at ease by sending daily texts and photos of my happy pup. She's such a calm and positive presence and I will definitely trust her to take care of Maya again!”

About: Hi, my name is Darian! I have three dogs of my own, two of them in their senior stage of life. I have been a dog sitter for almost ten years now, taking care of dogs around my community and family friends. I feel the best way to take care of your dogs is in your own household where I can keep them in their own routine! I would love to take your pups on walks around your neighborhood as well as doggy parks and other places with your permission of course! I am up for staying in your home (if you are on vacation) or dropping in every couple of hours when you need me to. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your sweet pups!

“I have a very strong and playful dog. This was the first time I've had to get a sitter and I was worried about being able to find someone I felt confident could handle him. Rachel was wonderful and showed me I have nothing to worry about. She sent me an adorable photo of him and had a great write up of everything that went on while she was here. It made me smile and laugh. I enjoyed reading about my dog's usual goofiness and that he was pretty well behaved. I do hope she'll be willing to take him on again! Thank you!!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10, currently we have a 12 year old dog, a 5 year old dog, and a 1 year old kitten. I’m very comfortable with cats, they’re very sweet. I’ve been dog walking for the past few years and worked with dogs of all kinds. I’m a teacher so I’m off for the summer! I’m pretty much available any day! I’m just trying to get some hours in this summer to work on my savings. I can stay with your pet for as long as you need and I will be able to crate your dog if you would like!

About: Hello! Please just call me Xami (ch-ah-mee) I've always had a passion for animals. I only started taking care of larger animals such as dogs and cats when I was 9. Before then, I took care of a verity of insects, rodents, and birds. These weren't easy tasks for someone so young and yet I managed to commit into taking care of these precious creatures. I was the first person friends and neighbors asked to take care of their beloved bestfriends. When I turned 14, my parents brought home a kitten and I catered my routine to her. The same year, I managed to gain the trust of a stray after months of steady work and he became an indoor cat after we got his vaccines. I made sure our ex-stray got as much enrichment as the outside provided him. I have experience in training as later down we were given an accidental GSD puppy. I spent months properly training our puppy and even made it through puppy blues! I'm currently working part time from 6am - 12 pm. There may be some Thursdays where I am needed to work in the afternoon. My college classes are all online and won't interfere unless it's an exam. I care for others pets the way I care for my own - I make sure each of my pets have a proper schedule and diet catered to their needs. - Safety in areas of the house that is needed to be inaccessible - Providing a relaxing environment - Lots of love given

About: Pet Care Experience I’ve always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your dog. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I focus on providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping your pet’s normal schedule as consistent as possible. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any other special care your pet needs. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog needs an active playmate, a relaxing place to stay, or simply some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work full time remote and have the flexibility during my day to make sure the dogs can run freely in the home, play, go outside and get the care they need with no worries! We have a fenced in back yard with a covered porch so the dogs can be free. We have lots of toys, treats, extra bowls and we always make sure the water bowls are filled! We care so deeply of our own dogs that we want others to make sure they are receiving that same care. We will always be responsive, send all the pictures, and give you any updates you need!

About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was in middle school. My mom use to take us to AFV to volunteer and ever since then I have fallen in love with connecting with dogs and understanding them. I have used Rover for my own dog , Nova, and I understand the importance of updates, care, attention, play time , rest time and meal time. I have full availability to care for your pet and 100% of my time and attention will be directed to them at all times. Being a dog mom , I understand the importance of attention and love. I live on fenced in ranch! With plenty of room for play time and so many new scents to explore. We have no pool , and a completed gated property. If I am in your home I will be sure to make sure to understand every need you ask for your pet :)

About: I’ve been a pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. While most of my friends were baby-sitting, I was fur baby-sitting! I’ve also previously worked at a boarding facility for 3 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I’ve administered medicine ranging from allergies to seizure medication to insulin. I’ve taken care of small puppies and senior dogs with low vision and hearing loss and understand that every pet has its own needs and personality, and tailor my care accordingly. I’m currently working full-time on a hybrid schedule. I’m most available for boarding on weekends (Thursday through Sunday), and can be available weekdays with advance notice. If you’ve got a little critter that doesn’t need consistent attention/supervision (ex. birds, rodents, fish) I can board all week as I’m home every evening. I have a fenced yard and three fur babies of my own - an 11-year-old Australian Shepherd, a 10-year-old Staffie, and a 1.5-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd. All are very dog friendly and love to make new friends! I have a dog door and all 3 of my dogs free roam all day, but I can crate your pet if needed or preferred when unsupervised or at night. I have separate rooms in my house available to keep small critters (i.e. birds, rodents) if they would prefer their own space.

About: Enjoy your trip/day knowing your fur baby is loved and well cared for! I adore pets and can’t wait to take care of yours! I understand traveling can be stressful and how crucial it is to have confidence and trust in a pet care giver. Growing up with Boxers we always looked for the best care when we went out of town. I have experience with dogs as small as a Maltipoo to a Boxer. I would enjoy loving on your dog as I have missed having my own. I just moved to Texas in the Shale Creek neighborhood and have loved it so far! If there is anything else you need, let me know and I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am currently unemployed and have lots of time on my hands to love on your fur babies! I am open to morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Let me know what you are looking for and we can work out the timing! Caring for pets in my home involved several key responsibilities to ensure they are happy and healthy. The first would be proper nutrition. I will maintain a consistent feeding schedule with the food you give your dogs. The second is always ensuring clean and filtered water is always available. My in laws have a Frenchi so making sure the quality of water given to dogs is very important no matter the breed. The third is making sure your dog is comfortable. We make sure there is nothing that could harm your fur baby in our home. I would love to have their dog beds/blankets/toys brought with them to ensure they are the most at home while you are away. We have a nice sized back yard for them to sniff and run around. I enjoy walking in the evenings and would love to take a stroll with your dog if they like walks! The last is love and attention. When they are at my house, I will love and cherish the time they are there so that you can be worry free on your trip or even to give them company during the day while everyone is out of the house.

About: Hi! I’m Sophie, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️ I grew up helping at my aunt’s pet hotel starting when I was 13 years old, and that’s where my love for caring for animals truly began. Now at 19, I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work at Three Bark Pet Hotel in Alvarado, where I care for a designated room of up to 10 dogs each day and also help care for cats when needed. My responsibilities include feeding on schedule, making sure every pet always has fresh water, taking them on potty breaks and walks, supervising playtime, cleaning their rooms, bathing them when necessary, and making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the day. 🐕🐈 The biggest reason I love this job is because every pet has their own unique personality. I genuinely get excited every time I meet a new dog or cat, and I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and love while their family is away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were one of my own. 💕 Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax, I’ll always meet them where they’re most comfortable and make sure they receive the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday life! Between working at Three Bark Pet Hotel and being a full-time college student, I’ve learned how important consistency, responsibility, and communication are.✨ I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, potty breaks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. ❤️ I’ll also send frequent updates and photos because I know how comforting it is to know your furry family member is happy while you’re away. 📸🐾 Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities. ❤️ I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs before caring for them. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, keeping their space clean, giving medication if needed, or simply spending quality time with them, I’ll always treat your pet with the same patience, love, and respect that I give my own. 🌸✨ I understand that trusting someone with your pet can be stressful. That’s why I believe communication is so important. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is receiving genuine care and attention. 🐶🐱💕

Jessica was amazing!! She took such great care of our Teddy and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even went the extra mile and brought in a few packages that were delivered while we were out. We couldn’t have asked for a better drop in sitter and would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and trustworthy

We cannot say enough good things about Lexi. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Elu was comfortable and happy. It's obviousthat Lexi genuinely enjoys working with animals and treats them like her own. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Newark

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Newark on Rover is $15 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 per visit. 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 4,375 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Newark. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newark choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Newark with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newark. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
