Rita is a very caring person. She professionally addressed a health issue that arose with our fourteen-and-a half year old Yorkie while under her care.

This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.

Joey is awesome!! We have a sweet but rambunctious pup. He kept her active and gave her lots and lots of attention. She has really awful separation anxiety and we hate leaving her. He sent us tons of photos and videos of her stay with him. That helped to ease our stress of leaving her knowing she was having so much fun. Would highly recommend Joey to anyone. If he can handle my crazy canine he can handle yours!!

I love how Cecilia did an initial meet and greet. This was our first time using the Rover app and I’m glad I’m came across her profile.That made me so comfortable to leaving him with her. Astro struggles with separation anxiety and she made sure she suggested many things to make him comfortable.She even hand fed him .Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby.

The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!

Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!

Kelly put me at ease and I immediately felt that my dog was in a good place and would be well cared for. So thankful to have found Kelly!

Candice was absolutely exceptional!!! I am very impressed with her service. This was our first time ever leaving our dog with anyone. I felt so comfortable with her, she has good energy and warm smile. She lives on such a beautiful water property and has two cute dogs that look so well taken care of. Her home is so nice and cozy, I felt like my dog was living in luxury for 9 days! My dog seemed right at home immediately at drop off hanging out with her two dogs and didn’t care I was leaving which is rare. While on vacation I received message updates and pictures of my dog that were so cute. Her two sweet daughter’s even spent time with my dog. Maxxie also got a squeaky toy parting gift from Candice. It literally was the perfect family for my dog while we were away it doesn’t get any better than this! I was a peace and knew our boy Maxxie was very well taken care of. She treated my dog like it was her own and that is what you want in a Dog Sitter! I will be a repeat customer!!! I don’t think it gets better than Candice she is the BEST and truly raises the bar high. I highly recommend her!!!

About: My home is always filled with love and laughter over our dogs. Rex is 16, a ShihZhu, Jack is 10 yr Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Peppa is 8 yr Chihuahua. Good nutrition, comfort, care, love and exercise are the keys to our content and playful pets. I am currently retired, and I have time on my hands. Dogs are very important to me, I feel they know more than we think they know. To give a dog comfort, company in your time of need would be my pleasure. I will take your instruction on how you’d like me to structure walks, exercise, feeding and meds. The playing and affection part is included. I will help you keep you pet on their routine.

Alberta watched our 17.5 year old cockapoo for 2 weeks and took such great care of her. Our dog has some minor health issues and also requires diapers and Alberta had no problem taking care of that. She had great enthusiasm for watching senior dogs when we first met her and we felt like we were leaving our girl in excellent hands. We received updates throughout our trip and she was always timely when responding to our messages. We would definitely reach out to her first if we ever needed someone to watch our dog again. She was excellent and you should consider her when looking for a sitter.

Samantha was a great sitter for Juneau and took fantastic care of him! She sent video and picture updates every day and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I know he had a great time playing with her dog Tank and was loved by her whole family. The big backyard was definitely a plus since Juneau has a lot of energy but she also took him on walks as well. Will definitely book again when we need a sitter, highly recommend!!

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats and love all animals. I have had 2 golden retrievers, Tucker and Trey. Last summer I worked full time for Camp Bow Wow as a dog walker and pet sitter. I have also taken care of my neighbor's, friend's and family's pets. I am a pediatric nurse and I love to walk and be outdoors. I work full time during the day as a school nurse. I am available for holidays, weekends and some evenings to walk or care for pets. I am available when the students are off of school. I own a single split level home in a wonderful, safe neighborhood. I have a large, fenced in back yard. My home is pet friendly and comfortable.

Grateful yet again for Elisabeth’s care, Pluto stayed for 8 days and you could just tell that he loves being at Elisabeth’s house. He has a lot of medication to take care of and needs extra pampering and he gets it all here, goes shopping and does a bunch of different things which is just above and beyond of a normal boarding experience. I am just so very thankful 😊🙏

My pup had not been around many others outside of our home so he was nervous at drop off. By pick up, it seemed he was very comfortable and well taken care of. Kacie was very responsive when we checked in on Benji, and was very flexible when our flights were delayed and we had to keep pushing back our pick up time.

Such a great experience for my dog, who can be a bit anxious. He’s especially bad at overnight boarding, but Joseph takes such great care to assure a comfortable environment and experience for the dogs. I am so grateful, and I know where I’ll be sending my dog if I ever need him boarded again!

Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!

Samantha took great care of my dog Ivy while I was out of the country. She provided photos and messages to let me know how she was doing. Most importantly she made my dog feel safe and secure by providing her with lots of attention while I was away. I had never left my dog at another house before so I was not sure if she would be comfortable, but she did great. Thanks so much Samantha!

FAQs for Boarding - Newport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newport on Rover is $55.5 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,255 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

94% of Newport sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Newport landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newport home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Newport.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Newport sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
