“It was a great assurance and peace of mind to have Ringo sleep over for a few nights with Anabel, wonderful and reliable family! They kept me informed with memorable photos of family walks, sleeping or just chilling in the house; Ringo adjusted and blended right in, he found a home away from home; will certainly book again! Thank you for keeping Ringo happy and relaxed!”
“Wonderful & best dog mom! Has a room dedicated to the pups with toys, bedding & treats. Provides a daily walk and will stick to your baby’s care needs. Thank you, Carmen!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with this pet sitting family! It’s clear they truly love and care for dogs like their own. They kept us updated with daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their youngest daughter was especially sweet and shared the cutest stories about all the adventures she had with our pup. It meant a lot to know our dog was not just being watched, but genuinely loved and having fun. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”
“Nick + Ashley have been great + my dog Oakley had a good time at their home while I was away. They have connected with me with photos of Oakley and advised that she was “at home” while staying with them which is wonderful to hear for a dog parent!”
“Our two dogs always have a great time with Jennifer and her family! They get so excited when we pull into the neighborhood. I know I don’t have to worry about them during their visit.”
“Alexis was wonderful! She took our last minute boarding for our puppy, Max, and he had a blast! Alexis kept us informed with how well he was doing along with cute photos of him playing. Thank you!!”
“Wow, what can I say about Lynn (as she likes to be called) and her husband Ken! We couldn't have asked for better care for our little one, Lacey- the care she received was phenomenal! My husband and I went away for a 28 day cruise and were very hesitant about leaving our dog for so long, since she had never been away from us. After meeting Lynn & Ken for the first time, our minds were completely at ease. Not only was Lacey taken care of- she was spoiled! Bedtime cuddles and homemade doggie treats were a few of the luxuries she enjoyed during her stay. Lynn was so great about keeping in communication with us the whole time we were away- giving us updates and even sending us pictures to enjoy. We did not worry one bit when we were away, knowing that Lacey was one happy little pup. By the time we came home, Lacey was so attached to Lynn & Ken, she cried when leaving. Lynn truly went above and beyond in every aspect! She even sent us home with a baggie of her homemade doggie treats- which must be delicious because Lacey managed to get a hold of them and devour them all in one sitting. Haha! On top of everything, Lynn & Ken were the nicest and sweetest couple! They greeted us with warm smiles and hearts. Not only do we consider them the best pet sitters, but we consider them true friends. I'm so glad to have found such wonderful people and will always continue to entrust our little one in their care for the future. It is clear that they absolutely love what they do and have a love for all animals. Thank you so much Lynn & Ken for everything! Lacey is looking forward to visiting soon!”
“We’ve Jessica multiple times and she is so great! Communicates regularly with lots of pictures and is very flexible with pick ups and drop offs. Will use again and again!”
“Alexis was wonderful to our Sadie. Sadie is a timid gal and Alexis was patient and caring with her. Leaving your fur baby is scary but we left with ease knowing she was in good hands! Thank you Alexis!”
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
“Chrissy is fantastic! She is genuine, reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for. We experience great communication and she is very accommodative.”
“I’m so grateful to have found this wonderful couple to take care of Taro and Mochi while I was away on a business trip. They took such great care of my pups — it was clear they had a happy and fun-filled four days! I also received lots of photo updates, and I have to say, their photography skills are amazing — like professional pet photographers! I truly appreciate the love and attention they gave to my dogs. This will definitely be my go-to pet sitter for all future trips.”
“Absolutely incredible dog sitter, she sent tons of pictures of our little fur baby and made us feel super comfortable and confident she was in great hands. I highly recommend and I will be using her for all our future needs. 🫶”
“Selena did an excellent job taking care of my two cats. Her home was clean, kitty-safe and well-organized. After 10 days of travel, I picked up my cats, and as expected, they had been well-cared for. I am so grateful to have found a responsible pet sitter!”
“Sam was great with my pup Violet. It is awesome to find people who love dogs and can take care of them as well as Sam does. She was happy to do a meet and greet, was flexible with drop off and pick up times, and is quick to respond to messages. It is awesome to know that my dog is being taken care of so well while I am away.”

Leaving Sophie for 15 days was not easy, but Mrs. Shirley made it so much easier for us. We felt completely comfortable knowing Sophie was being well cared for while we were away. We truly appreciate the kindness and care she showed her. Thank you, Mrs. Shirley, for giving us peace of mind and taking such good care of our Sophie. We are so grateful and will definitely reach out to you again! ❤️🐾
Shirley was so sweet and took amazing care of my dogs while I was out of town for a few days! It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She’s also very affordable, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Newark is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $45 per night. 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.
There are 2,049 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newark. About 92% 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 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.
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.
