“Zheru was great with our cat! This was our first time leaving our cat alone and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We received a lot of cute photos and a video everyday, as well as a detailed description of the visit. Our cat quickly became affectionate with Zheru and seemed to be very excited to see her each day for playtime. I would highly recommend Zheru!”
“First time leaving my senior dog alone for a week. We decided to try a sitter on Rover, and we are happy with our dog and with the care that Jessie V. put into caring for Sammi, and for the house. At 15 years old, Sammi has messes, and I am grateful for Jessie's care in caring for Sammi, and for the condition of the carpet and floors. When we saw Sammi after being away for a week, he seemed happy, well-fed, and the room smelled clean. Thanks, Jessie!”
“Alice was terrific keeping an eye on our cat while we were out of town. We had to book her last minute after another rover cancelled, but Alice saved our butts by quickly making arrangements with us. Our cat can be a little scared of new people, but she warmed up to Alice right away. We would definitely book her again.”
“Vanessa took great care of our cat for 4 days of drop in visits. She was reliable, flexible and even threw a few flakes out for our fish. The pictures she sent each day made it apparent that our cat was in good hands and behaving in her normal pattern. Vanessa also took great care in managing the security of our house. Thank you Vanessa!”
“Words cannot fully express how grateful I am to Jiru for the incredible care she gave to my cat, Doya, while I was away. Leaving Doya for over two weeks was a huge emotional challenge for me, cause she has never before being apart for such a long time. But Jiru’s unwavering dedication and loving attention gave me peace of mind every single day! I asked her to check in on Doya every two days, and she made it with such care, ensuring her food and water were just right, keeping an eye on her litter box, and most importantly, monitoring Doya’s mood and well-being. It was clear that Jiru treated Doya like her own, and her gentle, compassionate presence helped my cat stay calm, healthy, and comforted throughout my absence. I am so deeply thankful to Jiru for her kindness and for making this difficult time so much easier on both of us. Thanks to her, I returned to find my beloved Doya happy and safe, and that means more to me than words can express.”
“Heather was so easy to work with when we had an emergency last minute sitter need and couldn't meet her ahead of our trip. She knew just what was needed with our 24-hour auto feeder and sent excellent reports so we always felt comfortable with how our cat was doing at home. Moneypenny clearly warmed to her quickly and was not stressed in her care. Thank you Heather!”
“This is the second time we book with Zoe. She’s been so patient with our cat (and our meticulous caring requests) and she takes the best pictures! Everything is well taken care of and we returned home to a happy healthy kitty!”
“This was the first time I used Teresa. She was impeccably responsible, a delightful person and took great care with my dog. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”
“Agata was amazing! She is very attentive and detail oriented. She took care of our senior cat and we were so impressed as she kept is informed and was very thorough in her report. We would love to have Agata back again for the next time we need a sitter. Thank you Agata!”
“Jackie is amazing! She was dependable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with during her first week with our pup. She uses good judgment and provides the relief and assurance a new puppy mommy needs! She sent detailed updates throughout her days with Mr. Mustard and somehow managed to take perfect pictures of him, even though he is often camera shy. :) We've booked her for an upcoming stay and look forward to working with her in the future. Thanks, Jackie!”

“Junbo was reliable, professional, and very attentive while taking care of my cat. She clearly paid close attention to my cat’s needs and even noticed that her nails needed trimming, which she kindly took care of. I really appreciated the extra care and thoughtfulness she showed. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Junbo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter.”
“Chase is great with my two boys. They are both rescues, and one of them is pretty sensitive/moody. She seems to genuinely like them and they are very happy when she stops in. It's such a relief to know they're lovingly looked after when we're at work. Chase has been easy to work with and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: I've loved dogs my whole life and have over 15 years of experience caring for them. I grew up taking care of my own dog and have spent years watching my family's dogs while they're away. I'm energetic, dependable, and will treat your pet like they're my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Home from college for the summer, spending most of my time with family at home. Which will allow me to spend all my time loving, walking, & playing with your pet! 'll make sure your dog gets plenty of love and attention by taking them on walks, feeding them on their regular schedule, keeping their water bowl full, and making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog who would love to play with your pup if they're comfortable with other dogs.
“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”
“Xiaoxiao was fantastic! She was incredibly attentive and responsible with the drop-in visits. Her communication was excellent—she was proactive in keeping me updated and always replied quickly. She was so friendly to my cats, and I could tell that our cats really liked her too. I highly recommend her!”
“Chin did an excellent job!! Took lots of pictures for us, was very responsive, flexible, and an overall lovely guy. Would definitely book again! Also I think Nebula might have fallen in love with him. 😂 Thanks again!!”
About: I have fostered dogs and cats on and off for 15 years. The last 6 years have been through R.A.S.K. I have fostered and owned all types of dogs. Don't worry if your dog has super high energy or if your puppy chews on everything. Im prepared and have plenty of experience. I'm a stay at home mom so im home all day. I do same day bookings and am flexible if you have last min changes. I have two 18 month old Lab/Husky mixes. They are 90lbs. My puppies are super friendly and very active. My house is perfect for dogs that need to burn up some energy. My son has made a ball pit for the dogs and on warmer days i fill the ball pit with water. I also have a small plastic pool for pups to play in. Dogs have access to fully fenced yard with use of dog door. They are able to come and go as they please. I do close the dog door at night. I installed anti dig guards around my fence to prevent pups from trying to dig under. My house has central air conditioning as well as portable ac units if needed. I have a live camera in the back yard. You will have 24/7 access to camera. There is an option to veiw past recored events for that day. I have motion activated lighting throughout the back yard. Pet waste is removed from yard multiple times a day. I don't use crates or kennels. If your pup feels more comfortable being crated at night you would need to bring their kennel from home. Otherwise i let the dogs sleep where they want. I have plenty of dog beds for them. Most of the time i end up with all the dogs on my king size bed. My cat is dog friendly and is an indoor/outdoor cat.
“Elizabeth is such a kind human and went above and behind to take care of our two kitties & home! I would highly recommend booking with her and will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Scarlett did an amazing job taking care of our old lady Jelly. She followed directions thoroughly, gave her medicine on time and made sure Jelly didn't get lonely while we were gone. She's super nice, communicative and pays attention to the animal's needs. I highly recommend Scarlett (Wanqing) for your pets needs when you need to be away. Will definitely use her again for any upcoming trips!”

I seriously couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. She played with her, gave her so much love and attention-to the point where my cat prefers to play with her-, stayed with her for many hours, and made sure she wasn't lonely while I was away. I was completely off grid for over a week but Jade still sent me updates and pictures and it was so obvious how much my cat loved her; she even allowed belly rubs and that’s rare! Honestly, I think my cat had more fun on her vacation than I did on mine. Coming home to a happy, relaxed cat instead of a stressed one meant everything to me. She went so far above and beyond what I expected, and it gave me complete peace of mind while I was traveling. I would trust her with my cat again in a heartbeat and couldn't recommend her more!
Heather, thank you SO MUCH for watching my sweet senior girl, Stellar, and on such short notice!! Between the various medications and her bathroom behavior, she is a very needy cat and you handled it all with aplomb! She was so happy and healthy when I got back just now, and I know it’s because you took such great care of her. 5 stars is not enough for how good of a sitter you are!
Sanuthi is incredible and very reliable. We have two finicky 12 year old cats and any changes stress out Simba. She was very patient, willing to meet him within his comfort level. She kept in contact through the visits, letting me know of any issues she was seeing, willing to change the plan on the fly. Kitties were in good hands and I am so very grateful for Sanuthi!
Zheru is amazing. She truly knows how to care for and interact with cats, and my cat absolutely loves her. She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and attentive. Whenever I’m out of town, I have complete peace of mind knowing my cat is in Zheru’s care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.
Emily took such good care of our three kitties! She was thorough, communicative, responsive, and dedicated. She put so much time and care into ensuring our cats followed their routines. One cat needed medication administered, and another needed extra attention due to a recent medical event, and Emily went above and beyond for them. We are so grateful and strongly recommend Emily!
Our first time using Jennifer to check on our two boys. She was perfect! Great at communicating, always brought in packages, kept things clean, and the boys warmed up to her pretty quickly. And our request was pretty last minute so we're very grateful for her.
When we booked our latest trip, it was a no-brainer to have Zoe come back to check on our Frankie while we were away! Loved being a repeat customer of Zoe’s - she takes such good care of our kitty, and my favorite is all the incredible photos we get with every check in!
We are so thrilled to have found Morgan for out two cats. Our cats are very skittish but took to Morgan right away. She plays with them and sends pics/videos of them for us. She is very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using her whenever we need to be gone. Highly recommend her!
Annie and Terry did a great job taking care of our cat this week! They kept up a regular schedule, kept everything tidy, and followed all our instructions. It seems like they genuinely enjoy playing with cats. They sent nice pictures and even brushed our cat's teeth!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newcastle on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,748 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newcastle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newcastle. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
