“Oliver was absolutely amazing with Harley, we had a meet and greet before Harley stayed with him for the weekend, which made Harley so comfortable with the home, surroundings and Oliver himself, he was excited when we dropped him off as soon as he saw Oliver. We had regular updates when we asked how he was, he went on walks, cwtched on the sofa, played ball and overall was very well taken care of. Oliver eased my anxiety so much for leaving Harley, he reassured me and confirmed my hope that he would take excellent care of my boy, he was safe and happy! We will absolutely book with Oliver again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality care for their furry loved ones!”
“Rebekah and Ash looked after my Labrador for 3 days. Two words sum up the experience Absolutely Fabulous. From the initial meeting it was clear Becky and Ash care and have a great understanding of dogs. Their home is spacious and completely dog friendly. Becky kept me posted with videos of my dog playing in the garden and out on exercise. My dog was extremely well cared for and clearly had a great time. Becky & Ash are genuinely lovely people and offer a first class service. I can recommend with absolute confidence and I am already making my next booking.”
“Helen did a wonderful job looking after our dog, Hollie, for a few days over Christmas. She was caring, reliable, and clearly attentive to Hollie’s needs and sending several photos of Hollie out and about on walks. We felt completely at ease knowing Hollie was in good hands, and it was clear she was well looked after and happy when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and would be very happy to ask her to look after Hollie again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for Miles during his stay with Rupert. From start to finish, he was attentive, kind, and clearly committed to making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy. I got regular updates, photos, and messages that truly put me at ease. My pup came home relaxed, well-cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time with him. Rupert went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind he gave me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Kristina K. is a very competant and experienced dog sitter. She understands the importance of regular communication to the owners of dogs in her care. Our dog Leo was very well looked after and Kristina kept in contact with pictures and videos throughout his stay to put our minds at ease while we were on holiday.”
“Georgia was brilliant with Woody! Over the past few days he’s had the best time playing with her lovely dog, Smol, and going on plenty of walks. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, well cared for, and treated like one of her own. Georgia went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, highly recommended!”
“Crystal took fantastic care of Archie, and it was clear he really enjoyed his stay. He settled in quickly, and we appreciated the regular updates that kept us reassured. She looked after him especially well during the heatwave, managing his love of sunbathing with great care. We wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with her again.”
“Michelle was a fabulous host! When I dropped our dog Lili, she warmly welcomed us and I could instantly tell she is a true dog lover and Lili will have a great time.

Her large garden was perfect for relaxing. Communication was excellent throughout the stay—highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a loving home environment!”
“Sophie looked after Ted and his sister at quite short notice. Sophie was fab in all aspects of the planning and visit and we will definitely use her again. We were keen to arrange a visit before their stay and Sophie was able to accommodate this. Sophie was lovely with us and the dogs and listened and was eager for info to make the stay go as well as possible. We were really happy to leave them with Sophie as she quickly understood their personality and their needs, rather than imposing her approach / rules on their them. Thanks Sophie.”

I cannot recommend Krisztina enough! She made leaving Flynn so much easier! He really loved it at her place and was treated as her own. I was sent photos every day and I could see that Flynn was very contented. He had lots of walks, comfortable sleeps, lots of affection and got on brilliantly with Krisztina's own dog, Bo, a gentle retriever who loves everyone. He even played with Krisztina's grand dog who visited- another cavapoo, just like Flynn, Next time we go away, we won't think of anywhere else. Flynn had a wonderful holiday, and so did we, knowing he had brilliant care.
Georgia was absolutely amazing with Ronnie! He is my whole heart, so I was naturally worried leaving him when his eyes and ears haven't been great, on top of managing the heat. But Georgia treated him like her own from start to finish. She kept me updated with lovely photos and videos, kept his eyes and ears so clean, and Ronnie had a lush time with her lovely dog, they got on amazingly well! Knowing my boy was in such loving, capable hands meant everything to me. Highly recommend and will 100% book again!
We couldn't be happier with the care Oliver gave our Staffy, Ginger, while we were away for the weekend. Ginger absolutely loved her stay and came home happy, relaxed and clearly very well looked after. Oliver kept us updated, which gave us complete peace of mind and it was obvious he genuinely cared for her. We felt confident she was in safe, loving hands the whole time. We would 100% recommend Oliver to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter and we'll definitely be using him again. Thank you so much Oliver!
Anna was amazing from the very start. Super organised, great communication, but still really relaxed. Woody had an absolutely brilliant time with Anna and her family, and he’s come back so calm. You can tell what a lovely family they are, Woody took to them straight away, and when I picked him up it was obvious how much they’d bonded. He had loads of walks, even got to go on a run (his favourite), and then the cherry on top, a professional photo shoot. The photos were so good I’ve already made one my screensaver. Woods was so happy he didn’t want to leave, but he’ll definitely be seeing Anna again because I’ll 100% be booking with her in future. One very grateful and happy dog dad here 🐶🤩
Sophie and her partner looked after our 3month old, and 6month old puppies for 6 days and nights. They both had a wonderful time- I didn't need to worry at all about leaving them which was my concern as they are so young and first time away. I was very comfortable and was recieving regular updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her again in future. Their 2 dogs were lovely and provided much entertainment and socialisation for my pups. It is such a relief to have found someone I can trust and rely on to provide the care they need. I don't live locally to Sophie but I'd happily drive the 45mins there and back again, knowing that are safe and happy with them.
Great service from Dave start to finish! He was very accommodating with dates/times of our booking as it was a last minute request. Communication was great and we had lots of photos to keep us updated on how Walter was getting on. Would 100% recommend and use him again.
Constantin is a lovely man, he looked after Kobi and loved him like he was his own dog. Kobi went for walks, had treats, belly rubs and was cuddled on the bed and sofa. We had daily photos and messages about Kobi. Highly recommended, Kobi was sad to leave, and Constantin was sad to see him go. I can’t speak highly enough about this lovely man 👍
Great service! Highly recommended🙂 So happy we found Sylwester, he was great with our dog. Teddy was completely relaxed on our return, clearly happy staying with Sylwester and his family. We received plenty of updates during our time away, and it was evident that Teddy was in good hands, having great time, going for long walks and enjoying fun play sessions. It shows that Sylwester loves pets and he’s good with them! We’ll definitely book again. Thank you!
James and his family have been great having Shadow. James made sure to introduce Shadow and Muffin before we booked which was lovely. We were kept up to date with loads of photos and Shadow really enjoyed himself and is super sleepy after long walks! Would definitely book again. (Actually already have requested a booking) would recommend 100%.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newport on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,438 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newport. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Sitters in Wales may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus 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.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 dog, 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
