“Liam and Sierra were lifesavers! They stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Luka, and I could not be more grateful. They did an outstanding job from start to finish. Luka had an amazing time — especially getting to play with other dogs his size. It’s clear he felt right at home and had a blast. Their communication, flexibility, and genuine care made all the difference. Knowing Luka was in such great hands gave me total peace of mind. I truly appreciate everything they did and would highly recommend Liam and Sierra to anyone looking for dependable, caring sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of Luka!”
“Amazing experience, they took great care of our pet. Their dogs are wonderful as well. I would definitely recommend and be rebooking with them in the future.”
“Our pup stayed with Ann for 12 days over the holidays and was absolutely AMAZING. She kindly even picked up and dropped off Ollie, which I was so grateful for. She gave our girl lots of love and attention and sent daily updates with photos. Ollie doesn’t leave the house much, so Ann made sure she was comfortable and happy. By the end of the stay, she was like a part of their family. I’m so glad to have found someone that I can come back to for future pet sitting!”
“Such a caring people! They updated us with our furr baby pictures everyday. Communicated well with us and took all information of our fur baby to take good care of him. Best experience ever! For sure will remember them when we go on vacation next time. Thank you guys for taking care of our baby! Five star…. 10/10…. 100% recommended 😇😇”
“Keeley and her husband did a fantastic job taking care of my dog, Waco. They were attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Their own dog is very well behaved and kept Waco company the whole time, which I really appreciated. Keeley also kept me updated regularly on Waco’s well-being, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. They made sure Waco got plenty of walks and exercise too. I would definitely trust Keeley and her husband again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Christina is just a blessing to our family, she loves our Mindi and really takes care of her like her own. Mindi is not longer a younger pup and needs patience and love. Once again her services and love to our puppy are so much appreciated. Thank you so much 😊”
“This is our 3rd time booking with Arellys and it has always been a positive experience. Our dog has a great time and Arellys takes good care of her. This time we had a last minute change and needed to extend the booking by 1 more day which Arellys graciously accommodated. She’s always quick to respond and keeps me updated with how my dog is doing during the stay. We will definitely be using Arellys in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Michele is the absolute best! She provides ample communication and updates with photos to show our dog throughout her stay. Dia has a blast and always looks happy and relaxed. ☺️ She is our go to dog sitter!”
“My puppy was so happy here and loved his stay. They were a wonderful family that was flexible and kept me updated constantly. It was a great experience all around for my boy and I am definitely rebooking with them in the future. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Thanks Again...This is our second time having Aimee care for Lilly. I appreciated Aimee's heart to make Lilly feel safe and welcome. She even reached out to find out if Lilly sleeps on the bed or on the floor in her bed. 😊We will definitely see Aimee and Remie (her pet) again.!!!”
“Becky was absolutely amazing! She did a wonderful job of sending pictures and giving me updates on my dog, Sampson, while he stayed there for 3 night/4 days. Samps and I will be returning when I have my next trip. :) Thank you, Becky!”
“Ronald is wonderful and made my dog Walter feel like part of the family. His dogs are very friendly and got along great with Walter. Ronald kept me updated with pictures and comments during his stay. We will definitely use Ronald again and Walter is looking forward to his next stay.”
“Gina and her family took wonderful care of our cat, Chloe. She kept us updated throughout Chloe’s stay and sent photos showing how happy and comfortable she was in her home. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”
“Alyssa was amazing and I will definitely be booking her anytime I’m out of town. She’s attentive and very sweet. She was sure to check in with me daily and answered all my questions I feel very confident in leaving my kitten in her care ??”
“We took our Mini Aussie Fur Baby, to Jin and Weiliang's home to make sure she was adaptable to the home environment and afterwards, we decided that the house has a good fit for our our Fur Baby. While we were away for 3 day, we receive video and picture updates as morning check in updates. Our mini Aussie (Sugar) appeared to be very happy, we will definately use Jin and Weiliang every time we need their services.”
“Kelcie is an amazing pet sitter! She sent plenty of pictures of my dog and my cat, and I love the cute little short video clips of my cat making biscuits!! I appreciated all the updates and just want to say also the drop off went so well. She was very friendly and showed me all the spaces where my cat and dog were allowed to be at and showed me her backyard. I will definitely use this pet sitter again💕💕”
“Mary Kathryn was phenomenal! She sent lots of update pictures and was incredibly responsive. She seemed to enjoy having my fur babies in her home, snuggled them, gave my boy lots of time outside and went on walks; they seemed to have had a great time. I will absolutely be a repeat client!”

Shirley was absolutely wonderful! She was able to watch our Goldendoodle, Cleo, on very short notice, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we dropped Cleo off, Shirley provided updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cleo was well cared for, happy, and in great hands the entire time. We truly appreciated the love and attention Shirley gave our sweet pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you again, Shirley!
Excellent experience. She took great care of Milah and was very kind from the very beginning. She kept me updated on how Milah was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Milah seemed very calm, comfortable, and well cared for. You can tell she gave her lots of love and attention. I would definitely leave Milah with her again and highly recommend her. 🐾

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Newark on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,112 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newark. About 91% 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 TX 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.
