About: Your pets will receive the same love, patience, and attention I give my own—because I believe they deserve to feel loved and right at home. Im retired and a pet lover. I’m home and available seven days a week, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, playtime, care, and love. I will provide safe, loving care in your home or mine. My home has a doggie door leading to the fenced in back yard. Supervised Walks.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. One experience that shaped the way I care for animals was looking after my dog during her battle with cancer. She lived to be 16 years old, and during that time, I learned how important patience, consistency, and compassion are. I was responsible for administering medications, monitoring her comfort, helping with her mobility, and making sure she always felt safe and loved. That experience gave me confidence caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, while also reinforcing the importance of paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy who loves long walks or a senior who needs a slower pace and extra care, I will provide dependable, attentive, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away, and for every owner to have complete peace of mind. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I typically work at a cheerleading gym coaching evenings from about 4:30 p.m. to 8:00–8:30 p.m., so I'm available most weekdays for morning and early afternoon walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting until around 2:30 p.m. On Fridays, I have even greater flexibility, and I'm also available most weekends. I'm reliable, punctual, and happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that best meets their needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent, individualized care. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and a safe environment at all times. I'm attentive to details such as securely locking doors and gates, using leashes and harnesses properly, monitoring pets during walks, and keeping a close eye on their behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I currently have a 12 year old Lab/mix dog, he is super sweet and loves attention. He is very friendly and no problems so far with other dogs. I have worked with a dog groomer before and would help out when needed. I can bathe your pooch anytime. I have had pets with separation anxiety before as well. I had an austrailian shepard growing up and she had separation anxiety bad, It wasn't easy but we were able to get her to not tear up the house anymore. If you have a pet that deals with separation anxiety then I would love to watch your pet for you. I work full time in Jupiter, FL during the week so weekends would be the only time I have available. I look forward to working with your pet(s). What do you say? Are you ready to let your pet have a wonderful time while you go out for a night and have some time to yourself? If so, I am your gal. I look forward to this adventure! I would be available most weekends to do drop in visits and possibly staying at your home if need be. Just let me know what you need and I will see if I can work it out. I have a fenced yard and have a dog who would love having a friend over sometimes. He gets along with every dog he comes into contact with.
“Chris house and 3x dog sat for us for 10 days while we were in Europe. I was hesitant to allow a house sitter I didn’t know stay in our home with our pups. She provided everything I needed to feel at ease. Chris was phenomenal. Highly communicative, true to her word, and very attuned to what our pitties wants and needs were. We had an issue in France and all our luggage was stolen, including our house and car keys for the car parked at the airport. Chris went way above and beyond to help us arrange for the aftermath of that circumstance. We had a flooring repair guy coming in on a day she was there and we were abroad. She made sure the guy called his boss and the job got done after he tried to be acting like there was no job to do! When we came home, the house was cleaner than when we left it and our dogs were calmly listening to anti-anxiety doggy music on YouTube in the den. We’re hesitant to share this info with you because we want Chris to be available whenever we need her, but you ought to know: she is effective, efficient, and goes way above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family.”
“Chandler went above and beyond with my babies! He even washed my sheets and put them back on my bed. How nice it was to come home and be able to hop in my bed and go right to sleep. He sent me updates every morning and evening accompanied with pictures and videos of him playing ball and having the best time playing. I will definitely use him again in the future!!!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life. My last baby traveled over the rainbow bridge and I’m looking for dogs to care for and give lots of snuggles. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run. My two grandsons are here after school most days, so if I’m watching your family fur baby in my home they need to be good with kids. Happy to take walks, play fetch, and be their companion while you’re away. I work from home and have flexibility to go for walks, take outside fun breaks and give love and snuggles throughout the day. I am also able to go to your home to let your animals out and give some love a few times a day if needed. I can bring my laptop and work from your home to pet sit if you have high speed internet. I’m off most weekends. I have a large fences yard and a park close to my house. I live alone with no animals. I have two grandsons (7 and 11 years old) that walk to my house after school. I usually only have them for an hour or two before they are picked up. But if your dogs are staying at my house they need to be kid friendly.

“Yukie did a wonderful job loving on Shiloh while I was out of town for a couple days. Great updates and pics thru out the day. I felt very comfortable having Yukie in my home. Yukie is a sweetheart!”
“Shelby was great! She did a meet and greet the day before to see my boys. She sent pictures and updates. And she was flexible with our schedule. My boys were so well taken care of!”
“Alanna was everything we have been looking for in a sitter. She followed our instructions as given and made sure to leave our home as she received it. Her level of communication was great. She sent pictures and updates daily. From the meeting greet to the actual sitting, Alanna has been nothing but professional, patient and accommodating. We look forward to booking her more in the future.”
About: Trust the best with your pets! I have had pets since I was in the womb. Taking care of pets is my passion! I speak canine and would love to get to know your furry friend! I have been pet sitting for my neighbors and family friends for five years now and I am in LOVE with it. I am able to fulfill special requests to care for your pets in the best way possible. I am a dog mom myself and I have found that patience is key with any animal. Having been a pet sitter has made me understand that punctuality and reliability is of upmost importance. I can't wait to meet your furry friends and build everlasting relationships with them and their owners.
“Reyna was wonderful to work with-great at communicating, kept us updated with pictures during her stay, and took great care of our house and dog. We’ve already booked her again for another trip ☺️”
“If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, I can’t recommend Josie enough. She took amazing care of my French Bulldog, Raze, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Raze can be a little quirky and has his own personality, and Josie took the time to understand him instead of just watching him. It was obvious he felt comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. She kept me updated, treated him with kindness and patience, and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy. Coming home to a relaxed, well-cared-for dog says everything about the level of care she provides. Thank you, Josie, for treating Raze like he was your own. Your compassion, professionalism, and love for animals truly show. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust you with him again, and I highly recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
“Alaina was great! She took the boys for some walks, one got muddy and she bathed him, and one also got an upset stomach one day in the house. She cleaned it all up and made sure he was good to go. She really did well with my furry kids. I will use her again whenever I am in need of someone to trust with them.”

I feel more comfortable watching your pets in your home but can follow any protocols that you prefer.
“Ariel stayed at my house with my dog, Sadie, for 11 days while I was overseas and everything went perfectly! She was great with Sadie, sent picture updates and administered her medicine on time. It was great not to have to worry about Sadie while I was away and my house was tidy and clean when I got back! Thank you, Ariel!”
About: I myself own 2 dogs. Both of which are spoiled rotten! I have also pet-sit for family with absolutely no complications, even during 4th of July weekend! I’m currently working part-time, so i have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I am available on weekdays and weekends, whenever you need constant care. My pets are pretty laid back, however, coming across other dogs always calls for caution due to my youngest being skittish. This goes for my cousins dog as well, so being aware of the pets needs is key to giving them a happy, cared for experience.
About: I have always had pets growing up. Animals are such sweet souls that can be so misunderstood. Let me love, and take care of your pet, while promising safety and health! I am currently staying at home with my daughter while my son is in school during the day! This is the perfect way for me to make some extra money while being able to still be a mom. I do not have any pets in my home so safety is my number one priority. I have a fenced backyard and am ready to play with your fur baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newcastle on Rover is $27.25 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 819 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newcastle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Newcastle walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newcastle maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newcastle choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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
- 97% 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.
