“I am thrilled with Amanda. Tegan is doing great and Amanda worked on sitting with her today too! Tegan is a puppy and can be a handful. Amanda does great. I highly recommend her for all your needs.”
“It was great to work with Dale again- she’s communicative and quick to respond. In addition to taking care of my cats she helped water a few plants and take out the trash bins as requested l, which was a huge help. Thanks, Dale!”
About: I have cared for and loved animals since I was a little girl. I was raised in a house with dogs of all types and have continued to have them in my life. I have two rescues, a 6-lb sweet female chihuahua and a 30-lb shy male terrier mix, that love to be around other dogs but who also are submissive to and respect other dogs’ needs for their own space. Having been a zookeeper and vet tech, I have worked on training various critters, as well as cared for elderly animals that need special attention or medications. I work from home with my husband full time and we are always ready for fur baby snuggles on our couch and bed. We also live near a canal and trails, so dog walks are very frequent in our home. Because we live farther away, we are also willing to come do pickups to keep you from having to drive to us, but we understand completely wanting to see where your pups are staying. I work from home nearly full time except Tuesdays, but my husband is home full time everyday. I am an early riser and can do early walks/pickup/potty breaks. As we are working on house projects due to this being a new and first home purchase, we are home a ton on the weekends too. If I am staying at your home, I can arrange to be there constantly because my husband is home to care for my pups. I don’t have a fenced yard, but live very close to a dog park that is fenced. I also have a canal trail right off my driveway and we walk our two dogs on it all the time. My two babies are extremely sweet and friendly with other dogs. I am an extremely tidy and organized person, so whether your pup stays with me or I come to your home, I can guarantee I will always leave things as good or better than I found them. Also, if you have any last-minute travel issues, I can almost always adapt to host longer to make sure you don’t have to stress about what will happen to your pup.
“Nicque took very good care of my senior cat. She was able to earn her trust and give her medications. Nicque provided great communication and photos so I knew my cat was taken care of when I was gone overnight. Will be using her again soon:)”
“Deanna was amazing! My cats fell in love with her and looked forward to her visits. She was loving, sweet, and gentle with my cats. She communicated with me very well and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. She's definitely my go to kitty sitter from now on =] Thank you so much, Deanna!”

“Mikhaila took the time to meet with us before our scheduled drop-in visits with our dog and we knew right away she would be a great fit! Each visit she was on time, stayed the full 30 minutes, and gave us a detailed report. Most importantly, our dog was happy and exhausted when she left! :) We will definitely be using Mikhaila again!”
“Sienna was a great sitter! She was reliable, took great care of our dogs and cats, and communicated wonderfully throughout our trip with updates and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you Sienna!”
About: I grew up with a family of people and pets. I have always loved animals and always will. Often times my parents would leave the house for a get away. I am an only child so it would always be up to me to watch what was a big part of my life 2 cats and 2 dogs. It was something that was so natural to me being I grew up doing and my parents always trusted me with the duty. As of the moment I live alone with no pets and being lonely, would love to spend some quality time with a furry companion being I'm not allowed to own a pet in the apartment where I live. I have experience with both dogs and cats, small dogs, big dogs or any cat. Thanks.
About: I have worked for boarding facilities before, one that had no kennels and one that did. I have had lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats, giving oral medications, and watching them during the day to day. I love animals and always think of them as a part of your family. I am available everyday except for Tuesday's and Thursday's. As long as I have two days notice I have no issue doing check-ins, walks, or watching your furry friends with whatever schedule works best! Due to my previous experience with boarding facilities, I am well trained to follow instructions left by owners. Whatever schedule my clients have I will adapt to and perform, so that their pet won’t get confused or distressed by the change in schedule. I make sure to give special love and attention to each and every pet I care for.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to caring for my own as an adult—giving me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs, behavior, and personalities. I’m a true dog-person and absolutely love being around them—they bring so much joy and companionship to everyday life. Sadly, I’ve had two of my own dogs pass away after living long, happy lives, but through that, I’ve gained valuable experience in providing the special care and attention older dogs often need. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. 💞 First time using Rover? Use this link before you book for $20.00 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/rubyb72826 Furthermore, I’m a Registered Nurse (who stays home full-time with my kids now)… however, I have experience administering medications to pets and will ensure your doggie gets any needed medicine while you’re away. I love caring for humans and pets alike, and would love to walk and/or board your sweet fur-babe while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a lovable Shih Tzu of my own, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and already spend lots of time walking, playing, and giving attention to my dog—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine comes naturally and with lots of love. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so each dog gets plenty of individual attention and feels like part of the family. At our home, every fur-babe is welcomed like a member of our family. Upon arrival, they’ll be given time to explore and settle in comfortably, at their own pace. I strive to create a warm, stress-free environment filled with cozy nooks, comfy beds, and plenty of playtime in our large back yard. The neighborhood also has a large park I can walk them to for some exercise and extra sunshine. I’ll ensure they have a familiar routine and are given lots of attention, from gentle belly rubs, to snuggles on the couch. I love sending photos and updates to keep you connected! You can rest assured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and surrounded by love while you’re away. Pets can sleep in an enclosed area with blankets and a bed or in a crate, if preferred.
About: Mindful and attentive former pet care worker and dog walker with multiple years walking, training, and nurturing dogs, cats, and wild animals.

I love dogs. I've loved them all my life. And I understand that the second I walk into your home, leash in hand, I am responsible for the well being a loved and dear member of your family - and I treat them as if they were my own.

About: Long time dog owner, always had dogs growing up. I love dogs and and am a great care taker. I can tell when a dog is uncomfortable or needs attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
Cody was absolutely wonderful! He checked in on my cat, Jacki, for a drop-in visit, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing Jacki was in such good hands. It’s clear that Cody genuinely cares about animals and takes his responsibility seriously. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave Jacki, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would definitely book Cody again! 🐱❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newcastle is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $22 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,237 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newcastle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newcastle. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
