“Mary was such a great sitter for us! She made sure our pups were very happy and well taken care of! She was attentive to our specific pups needs with high anxiety/energy and was able to play fetch and be there for them! Would highly recommend her for your next booking!”
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.
“Melanie did a great job caring for my spoiled pup and new kitten. She was very communicative. I was able to travel and be comfortable knowing that my fur babies were in good hands. I would request Melanie in the future!”
“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!!!!”

“Brittany was so sweet with Hank and Red for the week she stayed with them! They immediately loved her and her calm energy. She even took off work to spend extra time with them after Hank got a wild hair and ate her grapes off the counter. It gave me so much peace of mind that she was looking after them.”

“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!”
“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.”
About: I’ve have grown up around dog my whole life and have taken care of my own, friends, and family’s pets since I was 12! I have always loved to be around dogs and would love to get to love on yours! I am a full time student at the University of Oklahoma! I only have one in person class which I would have on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11-12. During my bays off and after my class I plan to stay and take care of your pets. I care for pets like there are my own. I will love them, play with them, feed them and even bathe them if needed. I believe that these animals are my own when I take care of them.
“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 ☺️”
About: What sets me apart is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have two family dogs of my own who live back home with my parents, and I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12. Being away from my dogs makes me miss having that animal love around, so I would truly enjoy giving your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because my class schedule is pretty flexible and gives me plenty of time throughout the day. On Mondays, my class is from 6–9 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30–11:30 AM, and Wednesdays from 12–1 PM. This leaves me available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow the owner’s specific routine and instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels comfortable by keeping up with their normal feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other care they need. I also love giving them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away!
“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 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!
“Shelby was so good with our dog Jake and cat Mama. Jake went on several outings with her, and the house was well kept and all in order when we got home from our trip. A big plus to Shelby's care is she agreed to our request for a dog sitter on very short notice. I couldn't have asked for a better last-minute sitter. We will use her services for house/pet care again!!”
“Victor did an overnight sit for us and was great! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent lots of photos, which we really appreciated. The house was left neat and orderly, and most importantly, the dogs were happy and well cared for.”
“She's attentive, quick to respond, responsible with the details, and my dogs treat her like she's Mary Poppins. While out of town for days and without even a signal on my cell phone, I had zero worries for my dog's care”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
