“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina! She took amazing care of Maggie and Willow — our two crazy golden retrievers — and treated them like they were her own. Managing two energetic goldens is no small task, but Christina handled their personalities, energy, and chaos with so much love, patience, and care. One of our favorite parts was that she sent photos every single day, which gave us so much comfort and peace of mind while we were away. Seeing our girls happy, relaxed, and loved made all the difference! We are so grateful for the care she gave Maggie and Willow and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and truly amazing dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“We had really good experience with Sujata and Sachindra. We left our fur baby with them for the first time. They were very considerate to keep us updated about our baby with pictures and videos. I’ll definitely choose them again in future.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the absolute best experience with our dog sitter! She took the time to meet me beforehand and even introduced our dogs to hers to make sure it was a great fit, which meant so much and made me feel completely comfortable. While we were away, she sent daily photos and videos that kept us updated and reassured the whole time. You can truly tell how much she cares about the dogs she watches. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾”
“Ann paid very special attention to our dogs and made sure to keep us updated multiple times every day! The dogs were brought on multiple walks/play sessions a day, and I felt comfortable on my trip knowing that someone capable and caring was watching my pups :)”
“Sierra & Lian took great care of Storm while we were away for a weekend. She loved running around in their big yard and playing with other dogs! She was so happy and so are we! We will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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 !”
“Happy Dogs! Constant and regular contact from Jin and Weiliang. Multiple photos of my dogs playing, eating….well, just being dogs. I was a repeat customer and hope to keep “repeating”!”
“Ludo had an awesome stay at Aimee's place. Aimee and family were wonderful, they took great care of him. Ludo made a new friend with Remi, their sweet little cockapoo. Aimee kept in touch via Rover app and WhatsApp and sent us photos and updates regularly. We will definitely board Ludo with Aimee again in the future.”
“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!”
“May and Bob were wonderful with our Charlie! They provided updates and pictures throughout her stay, and I know they spoiled her like she was family. They're the best dog sitters we've ever had, I will be recommending them to everyone.”
“We had our dog stay with Ronald for a week and we felt like he was safe and happy the whole time! He sent daily pictures and updates and also has 2 other dogs that are super sweet. Definitely will use again!”
“As a repeat customer Katie was awesome again. My dog was smiling in every photo she sent and we had some flight issues getting home and she handled it in stride. Thanks so much!”
“Darren and his family took great care of Teddy! Darren made sure Ted took his allergy medicine, and we loved getting the pictures of the kids interacting with our pup! We would be happy to book with Darren again.”
“We can't say enough good things about Lindsey. Our dog got sick the same day we needed to drop her and Lindsey kindly accepted to administered all the meds. She kept us informed about our dogs health progress. I felt relieved seeing the daily pictures and it gave me comfort knowing my dog was getting lots of love and attention. Lindsey's family is the sweetest and they all seemed very passionate about taking good care of animals. I am pretty sure my dog will miss them all. I am glad I found a great sitter like Lindsey!!”

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.

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.
