“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Mia took such wonderful care of Sammy while we were on vacation. From the beginning, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly responsible. She kept us updated with regular messages and the cutest photos, which gave us peace of mind and let us truly relax knowing he was in great hands. It was clear he was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of love. And having Frank and Peggy around was a huge bonus—he had built-in playmates and never felt alone! We’re so grateful for the care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave him with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Richard is! He helped me in a short notice pinch and was so kind. He took amazing care of my Maia, every picture and video showed her so happy with her tail wagging like crazy. He walked her often and loved on her like she was his own. If that wasn’t awesome enough he came to the rescue again when my flight was extremely delayed and kept Maia for an extra night. Richard is an excellent communicator with frequent updates so I was able to enjoy my holidays stress free. He has a heart of gold and I will definitely use him again. Your pet couldn’t be in better hands with Richard!”
“Arellys was fantastic, she was so accommodating and very kind. It was my first time using rover and leaving my puppy Nikko but I felt safe leaving him with her. We will definitely be going back to Arellys !”
“She was awesome. She provided daily updates with photos of my dog. She also walked her daily and was with her basically all day long. She has a nice backyard for the dogs to run around in as well. My dog had a great experience there.”
“Nick and Ashley were great taking care of our dog. I think he loved having a dog about his size to play with. They sent pictures so we knew he was safe and happy. We would definitely love to leave him with them again. We 100% recommend leaving your dog here.”
“Maria was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the day, and her communication gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was doing well. He is on a strict diet and takes medication, and she handled both without any issues. It was clear she genuinely cared for him, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I will definitely be using Maria again and highly recommend her! Maria fue increible. Me mantuvo informada durante todo el dia, y su comunicacion me dio mucha tranquilidad al saber que mi perrito estaba bien. El tiene una dieta estricta y toma medicina, y ella pudo darle todo sin ningun problema. Se noto que realmente se preocupo por el, y me senti muy comoda dejandolo en su cuidado. Sin duda volvere a contratar a Maria y la recomiendo totalmente.”

“INCREDIBLE ROVER MAMA 🐾 my baby was cared for like another member of the family! Daily and frequent updates I felt like I was always in the loop! This was my first attempt at using Rover after hearing many other scary stories I am grateful to Susan and her family for giving me a positive story to share but most importantly for giving my boy a safe and happy environment that accommodated his quirks and anxieties! Already have dates im ready to block out for the rest of the year! Truly happy and satisfied! Rhaegar approved 🐾”
“Angela and her son did a great job caring for Murphy. We already have another appointment set up for Christmas. We feel very fortunate to have found Angela. We were not sure what we were going to do since our previous sitter retired but now we are confident Murphy is in great hands with Angela.”
“Bridgette is phenomenal! We left our dog with her for the weekend and he was very well taken care of. She is very attentive and sent many videos and photos over the weekend. Her entire family loved our dog well. I highly recommend Bridgette and will definitely use her again.”
“Kashia and her family took great care of our little guy. She shared pics and let me know how he was doing. He seemed very content in their home. I am sure he enjoyed having the company of her adorable pups as well. I’d definitely recommend her and would use her again in the future.”

“Gayle was the best dog sitter ever! She sent me photos and videos of my dog at the dog park and following Gayle around her house over my week long trip. This really helped put my heart at ease, especially since it was my first time boarding my senior best friend. I would absolutely recommend Gayle for watching your dog while you’re away!”

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.
