“I have a skittish Shepherd that goes into flight mode at loud noises and Jenny's home is far away from major roads. This gave me great peace. Sug and Diesel had a great time and I love that they were treated like family. I would recommend Boarding with Jenny.”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving Skye with "strangers", so we were a bit nervous. I read through all of the great reviews here for Jill and Thomas and reached out. Any fears, worries, etc quickly went away. Skye immediately clicked with their dogs and loved running around the amazing backyard. Jill and Thomas kept us updated with pics and video during our trip. It was obvious Skye was in great hands! Towards the end of our trip, we were starting to worry that she wouldn't want to come home when we saw just how at ease she was in their place and with their dogs! :) From booking to pickup, the entire experience was great with these two and we cannot express enough how much we appreciated their kindness. Would highly recommend their services!”
“Raelyn was wonderful. Our 2 Shitzus were very well taken care of, so much so that when we came to pick them up, they were definitely happy to see us but you could tell they were very comfortable at the house and had a good time.”

“Kristen is a dog/puppy expert. She embraced Bono right away and made him part of her human and dog family. He had so much fun there. She sent me daily updates and let me know he was doing great. It was our first time leaving him so we were nervous, but he was well cared for and had a great time. Thanks for loving him all weekend!”

“I was so nervous about leaving my boys. I've never been too far away from them. Emily was/is amazing. She was extremely flexible with my trip timeframe. And my boys felt right at home with her. They were even more behaved once we got back to our normal schedules. I will definitely be booking with Emily again. = )”
“Amanda was wonderful! She sent me photos of my babies and gave me updates throughout the weekend. My Coco has some stomach issues and required medication and Amanda took care of her and updated me thoroughly. Amanda and her family let my puppies enter their home and their hearts. Amanda and her family treated them like their own. I would take my puppies back to Amanda in a heartbeat and highly recommend her as a petsitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would love to welcome your furry family member into my home. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, so my goal is to make their stay comfortable, safe, and full of love. Your pet will be treated like one of my own—with plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions that help them feel at home. I have a comfortable, welcoming home and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers curling up on the couch and relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos, videos and messages during their stay, because I know you’ll want to see that your pup is happy and having a great time! I also do drop in dog daycare at my home and dog walks. I would love the opportunity to give your pet a safe, loving home away from home. 🐶❤️ Please ask me about available discounts when you book your first service ☺️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and can make their needs a priority while they’re in my home. I’m happy to follow their normal routines for meals, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and at home. Your pup will be treated like family from the moment they arrive! 🐾 I’ll stick to their usual feeding schedule and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. And when it’s time to relax or sleep, they’re welcome wherever they’re most comfortable—on their bed, the couch, or right beside me. ❤️ My home is their home while they’re here! I have a safe fenced in yard but I will always go outside to play with them for added security.
“Jen did an amazing job caring for Rio! She kept us informed everyday by sending updates and beautiful pictures of him. Jen took him on walks, the dog park, and lake. She even taught him a new trick. Jen and her husband are both just really great, caring individuals. We were so fortunate to have them watch our doggie. Highly recommend!”
About: Since I was a baby there has always been a pet in the house. I currently own a dog and a cat and my parents still have two cats and 3 dogs. I work full time as a teacher in MD, but have availability every weekend / holidays and I am available after 5:30 during the week! I currently have a dog and cat living with me and they are free to roam where they pleases and I monitor their food and water, take my dog out every few hours, play with lots of toys, go on lots of walks, and give them lots of cuddles.

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.
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.
95% 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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 NJ 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
