“Becky is the Best I highly recommend. My Hank knows exactly who I am talking about when I say her name and his friends. He is waiting at door to go soon as I ask if he wants to see ecky. When I come to get him before I knock he knows it's me and is alking at the door. Great sitter.”
“Lindsey took care of my puppy with so much love and attention! She sent updates with lots of pictures and made sure to ask all the right questions to provide the best care! Sven had a great time playing with the kids and was tired out when he got home! Would definitely book again in the future if services were needed!”
“Megan was awesome and very welcoming. It was my first time using Rover and she made sure my 11 week old puppy had a comfortable stay and also got to play with her own puppy. When I picked her up she was a lot more confident and I could tell she had a fun time. Great stay and we will book doggy day care again for sure.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have had big and small dogs throughout my life. I have helped friends and family with their pets while they are away. I also have experience administering treatments and medicine to dogs. I currently have a senior dog that I’ve raised since she was a pup. I’m currently working from home I and have availability during the day so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Before booking for the first time I require a Meet & Greet to get to know you and your pup(s). Also for your fur baby to get to know me before entering their territory. Let me know any special needs or accommodations that your pet needs and I am more than happy to help! I have experience with all personality types and can administer medications as needed.
“Since this was our first time with a dog sitter, I was nervous how my fur baby will be without us around. Yvonne was able to send updates and pics of Kazu. He had so much fun he didn’t want to get in the car to go home. Thank you so much Yvonne for the excellent care of Kazu and making our first experience with Rover memorable!”
About: I have been around animals since I can remember. I’m very good at training puppies. I can give baths, clip nails, clean ears, brush teeth and love on them all day 🥹. I’m currently a stay at home wife, as well as my job is online so I’m home all day with critters 🤍. I’m used to having to watch a lot of animals. I have a 1 acre property fenced in with two other dogs that love playing, I keep a kiddie pool out for the dogs who love water, I have a 12 dog kennel so if you preferred your dog to be alone, my other two dogs are trained and comfortable in the kennel so your baby can play alone 🤍. I have a bunch of toys, and treats. I know how to wash, clip nails, train, clean ears, brush teeth. I had a dog with many medical issues so I know how to administer ointment to a sensitive area.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Caring for both brings me lots of joy. My work schedule allows me the time to take care of your pet on the weekends and be fully attentive to their needs during the week. It fits extremely well. Your dog may have to go a max 5 hrs without the a potty break while I’m at work but never more than that. Otherwise they’ll get plenty of attention and care. I go completely off your pets needs and how you’d like for them to be taken care of. Every dog is different but I will feed as necessary and walk at least 2-3 times a day, again depending on the pets needs. We do have 2 dogs at home. 1 is a small dog and the other is a medium. They’ve gotten along well with other Rover dogs and have never been an issue. They just want to sleep and play.
About: My husband and I don’t have children, so our animals truly are our babies—and that’s exactly how I care for the pets entrusted to me. I’m the person neighbors and friends trust with their dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and everything in between. I’m high-energy, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, cuddling, cleaning up, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I also have a nursing background, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications, and handling pets who may need a little extra attention. What sets me apart is that I don’t see pet care as simply stopping by to fill a bowl. I want your animals to feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available from early mornings through evenings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine, whether that means morning or evening walks, midday check-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Because this isn’t something I’m squeezing in around another job, I’m able to be dependable and flexible with scheduling and give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m very respectful of both your pets and your home. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible. In a client’s home, that means keeping up with their usual feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you leave. I’m also happy to bring in packages, water plants, or take care of other small things while I’m there. Safety is always a priority. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, food restrictions, and interactions with other animals. With my nursing background, I’m also comfortable administering medications and paying attention to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual. Most importantly, I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give mine.
“Eddie’s favorite pastime is to be with Allison and her family. He is so happy to be dropped off and when he gets home he’s content because he has had a super fun play day with his fur friends. We’re so grateful to Allison and family for loving on him and taking great care of our sweet Eddie!!! Many Thanks”
About: I have had and trained dogs my whole life I have done training classes and have trained many dogs on my own. I was a vet tech for 6 years, so I am very comfortable with all situations. This is my full-time job so I can fit into almost any schedule and times that are needed. I have 3 dogs of my own so I know routine and normalcy are important. I will follow your daily routines and rules. I love walking and can handle any situation that may come along. I am very big on positive reinforcement.
“Charlie loved going to Mallory's Day Care. Each morning he would wag his tail when he saw her. She sent me pictures and updates on his day. I am so happy to have found Mallory for Charlie. I highly recommend her to look after your beloved pets.”
About: We have owned & loved several dogs over the years including training 1 to be a viable therapy dog for nursing home visits to my mom. I am home most of the day, M-Sun and have the time to love and care for a dog, and make it feel at home, while dog parent(s) are away. Our dogs are considered our furry family members and I want your dog to feel that way too! My yard is fenced and our home is clean and safe! I ensure dog(s) can go out regularly for potty breaks, and I love walking them too.
“I had a great experience with Anabel and her family! This was my puppy’s first time staying with a dog sitter, and everything went really well. Anabel and her family were very friendly, welcoming, and caring. They were also very responsive and always got back to me quickly whenever I checked in. Most importantly, my puppy had a great time and seemed very happy and comfortable there. I would definitely recommend Anabel and her family and would be happy to have Joy stay with them again!”
“Ayeasha took great care of Ranger! We will definitely be back, he is always anxious when I leave, but I could tell he had a great time playing & felt very comfortable with her when I picked him up 😁”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,481 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Newark. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Newark commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 1,481 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of TX. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 TX 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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,481 sitters in Newark, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
