“Klairi was great with my pup! My Callie girl got to make new puppy friends. She communicated and sent pictures while I was away to ensure that everything was good and she was having a great time. This was the first time I had ever left my pup before and I was a nervous wreck. Klairi was great and was amazing with my dog. I will definitely book again! Definitely recommend!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Ana, I’m a wildlife rehabilitation intern and animal care professional with extensive veterinary technician knowledge and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Animal care is truly my passion, and I’m currently gaining even more hands-on experience working with wildlife and exotic animals. My veterinary knowledge allows me to be especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and special needs. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m responsible, patient, observant, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. My goal is not only to keep your pets safe and happy, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am a wildlife rehabiliation intern and work Mondays to Fridays from 9-2. I am very flexible and willing to work with what fits you and your furry friends needs best! I have a fenced in yard and a two bedroom home with plenty of room for them to roam around and play! As well as walking paths behind my home and dog parks that allow for some much needed exercise!

“Our Ziggy enjoyed her time at Brittany and Matt's place! She became fast friends with King and another Rover dog. Ziggy came back to us tired and happy, just as we had hoped. They are great communicators and have a wonderful fenced in back yard and easy to walk neighborhood for both play and walks. We plan on having them watch Ziggy again in the future.”

About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I'm currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I focus on animal health and welfare. Before returning to veterinary school, I spent over a decade leading teams in the technology industry, so reliability, communication, and professionalism are second nature. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an older parrot, an independent and opinionated cat, or a shy saltwater goby, I take care of them all. For every single animal, from a senior who needs a slower pace or simply loves extra attention, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand normal pet behavior, can recognize when something doesn't seem right, and I'm comfortable administering most medications if needed. While you're away, you can expect: Frequent photo and video updates Prompt communication Play and engagement tailored to their energy level Plenty of affection and enrichment Respect for your pet's routine and training I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make both you and your loved one feel completely at ease from our first meet-and-greet through the moment you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! My dissertation-writing schedule gives me the flexibility to provide dependable, individualized care without rushing from place to place. Caring for pets is something I intentionally weave into my day, so your dog or cat receives genuine attention, enrichment, and companionship, not just a quick stop in. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every visit feel calm, engaging, and tailored to your pet's unique personality. Creating a safe, enriching environment for animals is simply part of who I am. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax under close supervision. Because I share my home with my own dogs, fish, and other beloved animals, it's already thoughtfully designed with their safety and well-being in mind. From secure fencing and pet-safe spaces to keeping anything potentially hazardous out of reach, I strive to create an environment where every animal can feel comfortable and secure. I believe every living being deserves kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your pet loves to run and play, curl up for a nap, or quietly observe the world around them, I'll provide a calm, loving space where they can settle in and feel at home. My goal isn't just to "watch" your pet, it's to make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away.

“Jazmine took such wonderful care of Nala over Memorial Day weekend and we couldn’t have been happier. She was attentive, kind, and clearly treated Nala like one of her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while we were away. Nala came home happy, comfortable, and very loved. We truly appreciated the care and attention Jazmine gave her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pup!”

She communicated with me throughout summer‘s entire stay including pictures. She made Summer feel as if she were right at home and I could see that in the pictures I would highly recommend Elise to any first time users and I will definitely use her again when needed.”

About: Hi! I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for high-energy breeds. I currently share my home with a Red Heeler and a Goldendoodle, both of whom require significant daily exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. This has given me strong skills in managing active dogs and creating structured, enriching routines. My professional background includes working as an EMT and now as a behavior technician, which has shaped my calm, attentive, and safety-first approach. I’m trained to stay level-headed in emergencies, read behavior cues, and provide patient, consistent care. I’m also an avid surfer, so I’m naturally active and love the outdoors. I’m using Rover as a side gig and I’m always open to long visits, overnight stays, and extended care. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet like family. You can trust that your pet will receive unconditional love, reliable attention, and excellent care while with me. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can fit your pet’s needs into my day and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I’m also available on weekends, plus open to long visits and overnight stays. I live in an apartment complex with a big fenced area for the dogs to play in. There is also trails by the apartment that I walk. Your pet will get care, and exercise all while having the time of their lives!!

“Booking with Kiley was the best decision we ever made! She sent tons of pics and videos, and nova had so much fun spending the weekend with her and her family. She played, did some crafts, and was so well taken care of. Nova is a puppy, and our baby so knowing she was in the hands of someone who loved her just as much as we do made us feel so much better about leaving for a long weekend. If you’re doubting if you should book- just do it!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Newport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Newport is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $56 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.

As of October 2026, there are 160 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

97% of sitters in Newport can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

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

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 NC 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.
