“Grant was so great with our dog Dasher! His resident dogs and cats were a welcome treat for Dasher. He took so many fun pictures of them playing which gave us piece of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using his services again!”

“Sandra is an amazing caretaker and human being. She took care of our pup like he was family. She provided consistent messages and videos of his stay and made us feel at ease while we were gone. Would 💯 recommend her.”

“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Our doggies love going to Leslie’s! We have used her for a second time and felt totally comfortable leaving them. She provided the cutest pictures of them and they were obviously either relaxed and having fun or sleeping peacefully.”

“Samantha was fantastic with our babies. This is not your typical boarding place. She described it as summer camp for doggies and it is accurate. The area she has set up for the dogs is well thought-out, clean, and meets all of their needs and more. She took lots of pictures (different subject but her pictures were amazing), kept me updated throughout the day and let me know when my dogs were tucked in for the night. My city dogs got to meet horses, goats, and pigs and I think they had a great time, because they slept for so long when they got home. Im looking forward to their next summer camp with Samantha!”

“We had such a great experience with Amy and Justin! They took amazing care of our 10 month old puppy and gave us complete piece of mind while we were away. They were the first non-family members to ever watch Nala and it was obvious that they genuinely cared about her. We received daily detailed updates about what Nala had been up to along with lots of adorable pictures. Amy and Justin have a big enough backyard to allow the dogs staying with them to play. We were so happy with the care Nala received and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog!”

“Qing was a fantastic pet sitter. Super communicative and I felt at ease the whole weekend. Lilah loved her stay and was active, loved and very appreciative of all the attention she got. Will book again!”

“Greg is a natural… he took great care of our 16 year old dog - lots of walks and extra attention. He was also super consistent about giving us updates with pictures and info. Glad we found him and won’t hesitate to call on him again. Thanks Greg!!!”

“Pam was so great with Bridget. Bridget definitely seemed really happy when she got home and Pam sent pics and she looked very comfortable immediately. I am so glad we found Pam and will be happy to book again.”


“Such an amazing experience having Michael watch my dog over the weekend. He was very caring and attentive, keeping me updated and sending me pictures throughout the stay! I knew my dog was in good hands and will be booking again in the future! Thank you, Michael! :)”

“Victoria was great! She sent me updates, was very kind and easy to communicate with. My dog needed some social time and to see how she did on an overnight visit with other dogs. She said my dog was good, played well with the other dogs and she would watch her again. That’s a huge relief because not everyone will watch Belgian Malinios’, so I was grateful. I would highly recommend Victoria and will be returning in the future. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of Sasha.”


“Sohui was fantastic with our Leroy! She sent pictures everyday and was great at communicating. We couldn't ask for a better experience! We will definitely be using her as a sitter again?”

“Michael and his sweet family have taken great care of our maltipoo Charley twice now. Our latest trip was 11 days long. When we leave Charley with Mike, we feel confident that Charley will be loved and taken great care of by a family that treats him as a pet of their own. It’s a large house and very clean. The yard is huge! Charley gets along with their dog Bela and once the pool is completely put in, the yard will still be big enough for the dogs to run and play. If we texted Mike while we were on vacation, he responded promptly and even sent us photos to ease our minds about how our dog was doing. I do think it’s important that your dog is safe around other dogs and young children. Overall, Mike is a great choice and easy to work with.”

“Nancy was absolutely awesome! She took excellent care of our guy with plenty of exercise. More than he is used to! He came back a little trimmer! He also had plenty of his favorite thing...relaxing next to someone on a couch! She only does obe dog at a time which is even better. She has a wealth of experience with training large dogs. I highly recommend her.”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and have trained several of my own dogs myself. I don’t currently have a doggo, but I do have cats and have been missing having them around! I frequently take care of my mom’s senior dog who requires several meals and medications per day, as well as my dad’s dog who is 5 and on medication as well! My entire childhood I helped dog/cat sit, and since I work remotely from home, I figured I could get started again. (: I’m a full time mental health therapist/social worker, that works from home! I have sessions that last 50 minutes each, with 10 minute breaks in between throughout the most of the day, as well as an hour or two lunch break. Because of my frequent breaks, I’m able to give frequent potty breaks, as well as walks throughout the day! I live in a downstairs two bed, two bath apartment, with plenty of space for your pets! All pets are allowed on furniture and have free access to roam, or have space to be separated from my cats if that makes you feel more comfortable. I will work to create a space that makes you and your pet feel the most comfortable possible! I also am comfortable with crate training, potty pads/training, and any other behavioral problems that can arise.
About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. We’ve raised dogs of our own, fostered and helped rescue dogs, and now provide pet sitting and boarding for local families. We have experience with senior dogs, energetic pups, larger breeds, shy or anxious dogs, medications, and pets with specific routines or needs. What makes our care different is that pet sitting truly is a family effort. Your pup isn’t simply dropped off with a sitter—they become part of our household while they’re here. We also only board one family’s pets at a time, allowing us to give them plenty of individual attention, affection, supervision, and a more comfortable home-away-from-home experience. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. Since there are several of us helping, there is typically someone home with the pups throughout the day, giving them lots of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, attention, and supervision. We work together to make sure feeding schedules, walks, medications, bedtime routines, and any special instructions are followed as closely as possible. Having multiple family members involved also gives us flexibility and allows your fur babies to receive consistent care rather than spending long stretches of time alone. We want every pet parent to feel completely comfortable leaving their fur babies with our family. Before a stay, we learn as much as possible about each pup’s personality, feeding schedule, potty routine, medications, sleeping preferences, behavior around other dogs, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. We have two friendly small Goldendoodles of our own, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks, and only board one client families pups at a time, so our home never feels like a crowded boarding facility. We offer meet-and-greets beforehand and require pets staying with us to be up to date on vaccinations. We can also accommodate crate-trained dogs and follow each family’s preferred routine as closely as possible. Everyone in our family understands that every dog is different, so we adjust our care to each pup’s individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, supervised home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and outdoor time so your pets can feel like part of our family until you come home. 🐾🤍
“This girl is awesome 👏🏽 She’s kind, knowledgeable, & the best dog whisperer;). Her pup Bowie is so cool too & loves to play; he’s such a smart boy and well behaved & I believe he genuinely loves to host other pups at his home as much as Nicole does! Extra tip too, Bowie is also excellent with cats 🐈 Highly recommended!”

“Cynthia and Patrick went above and beyond to make sure our girl, Roux, was comfortable during her recent stay. We appreciated all of the updates and numerous photos shared with us throughout her stay. Communication was great and we felt confident that Roux was in good hands.”

“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Newcastle is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $55 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 of October 2026, there are 1,366 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newcastle. 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.
95% of sitters in Newcastle 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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle.
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 Newcastle 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 CA 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.
