“Regular updates and photos. Felt like I was leaving my boy with a really loving family and he was cared for as if he was at home, not just at a sitters. Will definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Rachel x”
“Needed a dog sitter at short notice after being let down at the last minute a few days before we went on holiday. We could not have asked for better as Crystal & her family made our Roxy feel so at home. Had daily updates & photo's which was very reassuring. I would high recomend Crystal as I found her very caring & professional.”
“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 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”
“Karen was brilliant with Pearl. She was very understanding of her needs. We got regular videos & updates. Pearl came home very happy & will definitely be returning 😊”
“Reggie loved his stay with Oliver. Oliver was great with him and is clearly very knowledgeable, it was a heatwave when Reggie stayed with Oliver and he looked after him very well. Oliver sent update with photos to let us know that Reggie had settled in ok and that he was being a good boy, which was very reassuring. We would definitely book with Oliver 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.”
“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!”
“I could not recommend Kristina enough! It was Jesse’s first long time away from us and Kristina treated her with so much kindness and love. We had regular photos, videos and updates for our time away. Kristina is a very kind, calm and genuine lady and is very gifted in her ability to care for animals. We had a very good experience in respect of leaving Jesse. No worries at all.”
“Such a lovely family to look after our mabel this weekend. Met with Krisztina the week before we went away and felt at ease. Plenty of updates aswell, definitely someone who I would use again to look after our dog. Thankyou Krisztina for looking after our mabel.”
“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.”
About: Hi! I work from home fulltime and share my space with a playful, well behaved miniature poodle who loves making new furry friends. I've lived with animals my entire life from stick insects and chinchillas to rabbits and cats so I understand that every pet has unique needs, quirks, and comforts. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or calm companionship your pet needs, I offer a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Your pet will be cared for like one of my own with patience, experience, and a genuine passion for animals. I work from home most days of the week, which means your pet will have constant company and care throughout the day. My miniature poodle is a friendly, well-socialised pup who loves to play and share his toys. With a beautiful park right on our doorstep, regular walks, fresh air, and playtime are all part of our daily routine — perfect for keeping pets happy, active, and relaxed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time and a cosy, pet friendly home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. My miniature poodle, Luna, is playful, sociable, and always happy to welcome a new friend. Pets are welcome on the sofa (just like Luna!), but I’ll always follow your rules and routines to make sure your pet feels right at home
“Barney had a wonderful time staying with Helen. We received lots of photos and updates so we knew what he had been up to and how he was doing. It helped put our mind at ease, knowing that he was with someone who looked after him so well. Will definitely be using again and would highly recommend.”
“Francesca was very friendly, allowed two visits prior to Eddie and Charlie's stay, answered all my questions and left me feeling reassured. Francesca sent photos and messages whilst we were away which further reassured me that the dogs were OK. I would be happy to leave my dogs again with Francesca. Thankyou”
“Stephen was great! I got lots of photos of my Bella throughout her stay and she got so many walks, its clear she had an excellent time with him. Stephen was so friendly when i met him and asked enough questions to make sure he provided the best care before i left. 10/10 would recommend. :)”
“Hugo had a wonderful time staying with Lucy, Luke and family. I received loads of updates and photos over the weekend. Hugo absolutely loved it. When we have used kennels in the past, he cries the minute we pick him up but after picking him up from Lucy, he was the same, happy bouncy dog. He has high energy but Lucy managed to tire him out and I have no doubt beautiful Gwen, their puppy labrador, helped too. I would never return to normal kennels after this experience. It was home from home for Hugo. Thank You! Would 100% recommend. 🤎”
“My big German shepherd/malinois stayed with Alisha and Sean. They cared for him beautifully and they took the time to understand what he needed. They very much allowed my boy to feel right at home. Looking forward to his next stay with them in October :)”

“So very kind and accommodating. Bronwen took our dog on beautiful long walks and wasn’t phased by his boundless energy. She sent lots of lovely photos of their fun together. Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”

Charlotte was absolutely amazing with Mallow she took care of him for 2 weeks and kept us updated with photos every single day!! I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog.. and she’s just a wonderful lovely person also I’m so happy we have found someone perfect to take care of our dog anytime we go away now….thank you Charlotte ❤️
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!

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 .
