About: I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I am familiar with what they need and different behaviors they may exhibit. I am a caring person that loves animals and I have cats and a dog of my own. I would love the opportunity to love on your pet while you are away to make sure they get the love and care they need. I know it can be hard to leave your beloved pet so I want to help make you feel as comfortable as possible with the care they will be getting. I follow instructions well and would send pictures and updates throughout the day and night. You will not regret leaving them and will be able to enjoy time away.

About: I have been around pets all my life. I grew up on a farm with several different animals. Our family favorite has always been dogs. Now, I share that enjoyment with my kids. They love being around dogs too! We enjoy walking our own dogs and playing with them. Your pet would have a loving environment with lots of attention with us! I am a stay at home mom. So, currently, I have plenty of time to schedule pet care. Please let me know when your pet needs some TLC!) We have a fenced back yard with room for dogs to go out and stretch and take care of other business:-) We have two dogs that can easily stay with family while we watch your fur baby, or our little dog, can stay to give your dog company. We will be happy to play fetch or go on walks as well.

About: Hi! I’m Taelyn! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and even squirrels (yes, really!), so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with senior dogs, puppies, high-energy pets, and reactive animals who may need a little more patience and time to feel comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, and I never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, a slower pace, extra reassurance, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and cared for. As a pet parent myself, I know firsthand how much trust goes into choosing someone to care for your pet. They’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. 🐾 I currently freelance, which gives me a very flexible schedule and the ability to make pet care a true priority. I’m able to build my days around your pets’ needs, whether that means stopping in for some extra playtime, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them some company and love while you’re away. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pets. I’m mindful of your privacy, belongings, and routines, and I’m experienced with crating pets when needed. I’ll follow your instructions closely, leave your home just as I found it, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of all sizes of animals ever since I was 14 years old, from horses to rabbits. Currently I have four cats, two dogs, one horse, one donkey, and four goats. Some of them have three legs and some can’t see but I have cared for them all with as much love as I can. Difficult animals are something I have dealt with as well, I understand that animals have their own boundaries that need to be respected. Right now I am a nursing student at UTA, my classes start on January 13, and when that happens, I will not be able to work on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. I might be able to make it work if the scheduled time is much earlier or much later in the day. I have a fenced yard, and there are several gates in my house so I can separate dogs from each other if needed. I also have an area the cats can stay in if the certain pet does not like cats. I live on a 7 acre plot of land, which will give any dog enough run time to have fun and also sleep really hard by the end of the day

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾💓 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day since it’s currently summer. After summer, I will be Busy Mon-Fri Mornings, but will be able to work in the afternoons. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have a fully fenced backyard & front yard that can be split. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and treated with patience and kindness. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I will treat your furry family member as if they were my own. 🐶🐱💗

About: I’m a recent college graduate looking for extra work! I’m hardworking, reliable, and empathetic- when I commit to a job, you can count on me consistently. I’ve done lots of pet sitting/dog walking throughout western MA, and I’m experienced with following specific care routines for pets with health concerns. I have two dogs at home, so I truly understand the importance of dependable care and regular communication! I am currently a student, so I’ve found pet sitting/dog walking to work great for my routine. My on campus job is in short shifts, so I wouldn’t need to be away for extended periods of time if I am pet sitting. I find it very important that even if the owners are away and their pets are very active, they should remain active and stick to their routines. Making sure they’re comfortable is the most important thing, especially when their family isn’t home!

About: My wife and I are huge pet lovers. She's been doing pet foster care since she was young and I've had the privelage of owning a few animals myself. I absolutely love being around animals of all kinds and loving on them as I would my own. We also have experience with medication administration. We're flexible and adaptable and here for your fur babies! If your fur babies like to be around other animals we have a very loving dog who loves all animals and loves to play. I look forward to speaking with you and getting to know your pets! Ally is a stay at home mom, though she does have a job that takes her away periodically she's at home the majority of the time so there is almost always someone available to give the animals the love and attention they deserve. We have a fenced yard with some space to run and stretch or get some fresh air. Sometimes we take multiple dogs at a time but not normally. If separation is required a crate is preferred but we do have extra rooms and baby gates to give the dogs their own space is we need to leave the house or for sleeping hours.

About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.

About: I have been handling dogs for about 9 years now. I currently offer In-Home dog grooming where I bring the salon to the comfort of your home. I work for myself so my schedule can be pretty flexible. Most grooming appointments are scheduled between 10:30am to 5pm. I will accommodate walk requests as best as possible. If walk requests are after 7pm (after dark) I may have a Buddy along to accompany me during the walk for safety but I will always inform my client prior to accepting requests. I have a lot of senior doggos so I am very attentive and report anything out of the ordinary in regards to their behavior.

Hailey is the best dog sitter ever. She truly is like family to us after taking care of our mini schnauzers the past two years. She is thoughtful, kind, genuine and always goes above and beyond. I have never seen the dogs so happy to have someone come over. She truly makes both their lives better. You can not find a better sitter than Hailey.

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 is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 4,331 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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
