“Crystal was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating for a last minute booking. She kept us very well informed of how Bryn was and what they had been upto during the day. I would have no hesitation in booking crystal 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. Michelle sent me daily updates during Lili’s stay. I cannot recommend Michelle enough. I will definitely ask Michelle to look after Lili again in the future.”
“We couldn’t recommend Amanda highly enough! We booked at short notice over the Easter break and they were incredibly accommodating from the start. Dougie was so well looked after, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy the whole time. We got regular updates which really put our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be booking again—thank you so much for taking such great care of Dougie!”
“I was a bit worried about leaving Myloe but he seemed at home at the meet and greet and when we dropped him off. Judging by the photos he seemed to enjoy himself especially with the children. However as Myloe is quite sensitive he did stress as he rarely away from at least one of us and had several accidents. Full marks to Amy who took everything in her stride and let us know how things were going. Thanks Amy for looking after him, trying to destress him and what probably felt like endless mopping up. Myloe came back happy from his holiday and we felt reassured he was being looked after well”
“Our Lena stayed with Karen for a week while's we went away and she had a great time. Very well look after. She loves it there as evident from the many pics and videos Karen sent. Lots of walks. Thank you.”

“Anna was great. She was flexible with timing for drop off and collection and kept us updated with photos and videos. Our lovely Nahla was well looked after... this was obvious from the pictures! We would be happy to use Anna again and have no hesitation in recommending her.”
“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!”
“Betty loved her time with Kristina as always! Every member of Kristinas family treat Betty as their own.. I don’t look back once she’s in Kristinas care as she always has so much fun 🥰”
“We had to go somewhere without Toby at short notice and both our regular sitters were booked up. So I turned to Rover and found Helen. How lucky were we that she was free. It had been quite a while since I’d had to go through the process of meeting a new sitter and while Toby is very chilled about where he goes and with whom, I always get anxious about leaving him somewhere new. However when I drove up to Helen’s beautiful and calm home my mind was put at rest. Helen is lovely and obviously adores dogs. She had thought of everything needed in the very hot weather, there was a fan, a paddling pool and walks only when it was safe. Her husband and other family members are also delightful and dog focused. She sent us lots of photos of Toby having a great time with another dog who was also staying. I was relaxed the whole time I was away. I recommend Helen 100% and will definitely ask to leave Toby there again.”
“This is the first time we’ve used Rupert to look after our dog overnight and I have been delighted with his communication and the way he has looked after him. Would definitely recommend and have already booked in more dates! :)”
“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!”
“Julie was absolutely fantastic and made both me and Buster very welcome in her home. This was the first time I had ever had to leave Buster with strangers but, made me feel completely at ease and kept me updated throughout the duration of the booking. Not only did Julie take care of him but it was very clear that he had had fun there and even met a new friend.”
“Krisztina and family cared for our Penny for a week and we cannot rate her highly enough! Penny looked so happy on every photo that was sent (we had daily updates)! Penny left today with a goody bag which was an adorable touch! We will definitely be repeat customers! Thank you! ❤️”
“Lucy was incredible start to finish. We were unfortunately let down 5 days before our wedding and were left with no sitter for our lovely Alfie. We met Lucy ahead of the date with her gorgeous family and all our reservations and worries were put to ease. She’s been nothing short of amazing sending regular updates and pictures and saved us in a time of need! We would highly recommend Lucy and her family, they really did treat our Alfie as one of their own! What a stunning family! X”
“Tetiana was absolutely fab! We had a nightmare with our kennel booking and needed someone to watch our (rather large) dog at very short notice, and Tetiana came to the rescue. She provided us with frequent updates and photographs throughout our dog’s stay and made sure he got plenty exercise during the day too. She has a huge back garden and her own dog, who was a great play buddy for ours. Honestly, she’s brilliant and I’d recommend her to anyone, having already passed her details to other family members who may need her in future. Thanks Tetiana for all your help.”
“We were really happy with the care Wayne gave Luna during her three-day stay. He sent us regular updates, which was really reassuring, took her for plenty of walks, and made sure she was comfortable and settled throughout her stay. It was clear that Wayne genuinely cared about her and her wellbeing, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Luna came home happy and well looked after. We would definitely trust Wayne with her again and would happily recommend him to others!”

Georgia was fantastic from the first meet and greet she made sure Betsy was comfortable with her dog Smol (they got on so well Betsy has been missing him since her return!) and addressed any concerns I had. She sent regular updates with photos so we could see that Betsy was getting the best care and even washed Betsy before her return! Would thoroughly recommend, thank you Georgia
Amazing from start, communication prior to, and during boarding was fantastic. Melanie so thoughtful, flexible and helpful throughout, Our dog had a great holiday, we were so reassured, especially as first time for us to be away from her, and she not had huge social experiences. The daily updates and photos were so appreciated. Will definitely be visiting again
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.
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Newport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newport on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,466 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 .
