“Josie is amazing. My pups need regular medication and she didn't miss any. She sent pictures of my pups enjoying their time with her. She is a really pleasant, happy person. My pups (14 & 5 years-old) were happy to see me after 5 days, but they didn't like seeing Josie leave. She made me feel comfortable and able to enjoy my vacation.

“Dawsen took good care of our dog, Meribelle. My dog can’t go to a kennel or anyone else’s house and Dawsen came through with in-home care. Definitely will hire her again! 5 stars!”

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of and loving animals as well as working in a kennel for two years. I have lots of experience with puppies and giving medication to dogs. And have lots of experience house/ pet sitting for friends and family. I am currently working part time as well as going to college classes two days a week. This gives me a very open schedule with flexibility to fit your needs. I have a fenced yard with walking trails nearby for extra exercise and adventure for your fur baby. There are elementary age kids in the house that would be kept away from your pet if you wished.
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember and love all dogs and all their unique personalties. I love going on walk and just playing outside. I am in college, but have plenty of time to take care of pets with my flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own at home and do not struggle at all to meet his needs. I have a pet of my own, but my lease does not allow any other pets to be in the house. So I will not be able to board dogs at my personal house.
About: Hi!! I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl and have always been the softest soul when it comes to them. Since the age of 16 I also worked at a veterinary clinic in charge of the proper care and nurturing of the animals while in our care. I always make sure to provide the best care I can while ensuring their safety and comfort. In 2022, I visited Turks and Caicos and volunteered at a local animal shelter that focuses on the care of stray pups. This experience added to my past job at the veterinary clinic has given me insight on so many different personalities and breeds of dogs. I’m currently a sophomore in college, however I only have class 4 days a week! Therefore, I will have lots of time to spend with your pets and make sure they are taken care of and loved! I always make sure the animal is feeling comfortable and loved. Since I come from a veterinary assistant background I know how to effectively calm nerves when it comes to meeting new people and basic care needs.
About: I remember having dogs and cats by my side when I was a very young, my love for animals has been growing ever since. In the past, a few of my family members, friends, & neighbors have payed me to watch their little fur babies I’m currently self employed so my schedule is quite flexible! With that being said, I do prefer working during the week but I’m open to weekends. I love staying active & exercising very much! I don’t mind taking your dogs on walks to the park, as well as playing fetch & other games.
About: I’m a firefighter, lifelong dog lover, and avid sports fan with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up in a home that always had four or more dogs, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding their needs, behaviors, and quirks. During high school, I also volunteered for two years at the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter, where I gained valuable experience working with a wide variety of breeds. From tiny 5-pound Chihuahuas with big personalities to gentle 150-pound Akitas, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. I take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog. You can count on me to treat your dog like family keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a firefighter, and my schedule is very open,I only work Sundays and Mondays, plus one Saturday night each month. That gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week to provide reliable, attentive care for your pet.

I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medications, and bedtime routines.

About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.
About: I have professional experience working in a pet care facility, where I cared for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed pet care certifications that have strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, safety, and best care practices. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and following specialized care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, exercise, medication, playtime, or extra companionship, I can accommodate their needs. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. I also have friendly, well-socialized pets that can provide companionship for dogs who enjoy social interaction. My professional pet care experience, certifications, and medication administration experience allow me to confidently care for pets with a variety of needs. Every pet receives individualized attention, a clean and secure environment, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you always know how they’re doing during their stay.
About: Hey pet parents!!! It’s Jaci your pets’ new best friend! I’ve always had a big heart for dogs and truly enjoy being around them. I’m a loving, patient, and dependable person who enjoys giving dogs plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I would make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work as a full-time bartender but it’s very flexible so it gives me lots of free time to walk and sit dogs throughout most days. Then as clients become more regular it’ll be easier working them into a weekly routine. I used to have multiple dogs in the house that I would have to take care of, so I’m used to being in a group of large dogs and taking care of them all at once.

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 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.
