“Both Ailen and her husband were incredibly kind and attentive with the dogs, treating them like their own. She kept us at ease by sending regular updates about the pups, which we really appreciated. It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well cared for in her home.”
“Will definitely allow Catherine and her mom to take care of our dog Rocky again!! Communicated with us daily and loved the pictures that were provided!! Highly recommend?.”
“Absalon is absolutely amazing! He was very communicative through the whole stay. He made me feel very comfortable about going on my trip and taking future trips. Absolutely recommend, he takes great care of our furry friends!”
“Thanks Rover for your services and Lauren who did an awesome job watching our puppy-baby. We were so nervous as it was our first time away from our puppy and Rover service. She kept us up to date and sent us pictures and we were very grateful for that…. I would definitely recommend Lauren and her family and will definitely use her services again (if she accepts my puppy again)”
“I can’t say enough good things about Mary and Bob. From the meet and greet, to pickup, they welcomed me and Bristol into their home like we were family. They treated my dog as nothing less than their own and I can’t thank them enough. The drive for me was well worth it and this will be Bristol’s home away from home on any future vacations!”
“Thank you so much, Araselly, for taking such wonderful care of Copper. This was my first time leaving him with anyone other than his vet’s boarding, and you made it feel completely natural. You were so caring, and I could tell Copper felt loved and safe — like he was with family. Your updates and photos showed how happy he was, and it made my trip so much more relaxing. Knowing he was in exceptional hands meant everything to me. Thank you a billion times over!”
“Isaac was amazing! He was very responsive and sent pictures of our pup throughout our trip. He played with him often and even took him on walks. We even had some flight issues and he was very reassuring and flexible with us. Our dog had such an amazing time and came back one sleepy, happy boy! Will definitely be working with them again!”
“Victoria took great care of Sasha! She sent regular photos and updates, made sure she got her meds, gave her treats, and took her on walks. I could tell Sasha was in good hands. Thanks Victoria!”
“Angie was amazing with our 2 dogs. Her home is a great environment for pets, and she was awesome about keeping us informed on how ours were doing. I cannot recommend her enough, and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
“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!”
“Richard did a great job with Koda He sent tons of pictures and followed instructions well. He lives nearby a large pond and lots of fenced in grass so it’s perfect for allowing pets to have exercise and frequent bathroom breaks. Richard and his family are also very friendly and easygoing, would recommend!”
“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!”
“Stacy and his wife were amazing sitters! There was constant communication even before Kairi’s stay about her needs and habits. We received photos and videos of Kairi throughout the week and she seemed so happy and comfortable in every one. Stacy encouraged her to make herself right at home. We had such peace of mind leaving our anxious girl with them and would have Kairi stay again without a doubt. Thank you both so much!!”
“Gina and her family gave our dog, Maya, such a great home over the week she was in their home. I needed a sitter kind of last minute, and was having a hard time finding someone responsive in my area. Gina responded quickly. I am so grateful because Maya was loved and spoiled. Gina sent pics and updates daily and treated Maya as her own. Not to mention, her dog was very friendly and gave mine a fun playmate! Wonderful family!”

“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 September 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 2,080 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.
