“Nicole was wonderful! She checked on our cat every other day while we were out of town. We met in advance and she asked all the right questions. During the visits, she gave detailed updates and photos. Will absolutely request her services again!”
About: I've taken care of medium dogs belonging to friends and family 😊 I've brushed, walked, fed, played, and cuddled with many different dogs, so I've got you covered! I'm currently working part time and am a part-time college student, so I have a lot of time to put into pet care :) I love going on adventures in my free time, whether it is to new parks or hikes! I have a very large fenced in yard and pickleball/basketball court, so your pup will have lots of room to run! I'm also located very close to multiple parks/dog parks (downtown bellevue park, newcastle beach park, robinswood dog park, etc.!) and my neighborhood also has a large grass field perfect for playing fetch. My home is also spacious and equipped with AC to keep your dog cool in the heat.
“Alice was EXCELLENT! We have two kitties and they both loved Alice. One of our cats is very skittish and even she was best friends with Alice by the end of her stay. Alice made sure our girls were fed, water was full, litter was scooped, cats were played with, and they even got treats. Alice was very communicative about how the cats were doing with daily updates and pictures. We will definitely book her for our next vacation!”
“Heather did a wonderful job taking care of Mio! He was a happy boy while we were away, as we could see form the many pictures and details she shared from her visit with him. She kept us up to date and responded quickly to any comments or questions we had. I'd highly recommend Heather and hope to have her come again in the future. Thanks, Heather!”
“If you need someone that is going to look after your pet just like they were their own, then look no further: Teresa provides outstanding care and can be counted on to provide updates and photos of your pet.”
“Kevin has been absolutely fantastic with our dog! She's very high-energy, and Kevin always finds creative ways to keep her engaged and burn off that energy. We mentioned that she needed to work on not jumping on people and also no barking for attention, and Kevin was great about reinforcing those behaviors during their time together. We've seen real improvement! Our pup is always thrilled to see him and is totally tuckered out—and happy—after each visit. Kevin is also incredibly responsive and communicates clearly. I especially love reading the notes and seeing the pictures he shares in the Rover cards 😊”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a little kid and have been watching friends and family’s pets for at least 7 years! I love animals and am super flexible! I’m currently unemployed but looking for a job. However, I will have lots of time to play with and take care of your pets! I have a fenced yard and a walkable community great for walking and keeping your pets safe! I have one 8 year old dog who is incredibly friendly and loves all animals. Crating is possible!
“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!”
About: I have taken care of pets, including my own, since I was 8 years old. From big to small, dogs to cats, young and old, and many breeds I have a passion for taking care of animals! I am very reliable and have excellent communication. You will always find your pet happier than you left them! I am currently on summer break so have all the time in the world for your pet! I am free most days and most hours so have a very flexible schedule. Say the word and I will be there for your pet! I have 2 dogs and have taken care of many of my family and friends. I make sure to clean up after them, feed them on schedule, walk them, play with them, and keep up with grooming and hygiene! I will always make sure your pet is safe and gets the attention they need.
“Chin Ken has been amazing and kind with communication and providing exceptional care to my two kitties while I’ve been out of town! My kitties are shy and nervous around new people but he has given them gentle care and made sure the water and food bowls were refilled and refreshed! He even refilled and cleaned the litter box and swept the floor when there was litter tracked around from their paws! He takes pictures of them and gives me the confidence they are well cared for when I’ve been out of town from a few days to two weeks! I highly recommended him and this is the second time I’ve reached out to him for his incredible care of my cats! :)”
“Xiaoxiao did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about their well-being. I felt completely at ease while I was away, and my cats were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”
“Chase was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She was very thorough with making sure that our 2 cats were not only fed, but entertained and loved while we were away. We received daily reports along with pictures. Chase made us feel very secure that our home and our babies were in good hands. I will be recommending Chase to all of my friends in the area when they need a pet sitter! Our girl Cinder is already missing Chase, and our boy Arthur at least came out for a showing when he normally runs and hides. THANK YOU CHASE!!!”
“Our two cats really liked Agata! She played with them every day, fed them and cleaned up their accidents while we were on vacation and took very good care of them. Agata was also very communicative and fast to respond.”
“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!”
“Jiru took great care of our 3 cats while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout our trip. We felt at ease knowing that she was there to look after our cats.”
About: I have about 10 years of experience of pet care, as well as 15+ years of farm sitting. I own two cats of my own and also have experience administering prescription foods. Pet care is a life style. Through my own experience owning pets, I know the effort and commitment it takes. House sitting will be limited to specific availability depending on my own commitments. For my offered services, my goal is to not disrupt the already established flow. I plan to learn and adapt to the care and safety guidelines of each house.
“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!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
We had a really great experience with Kseniia taking care of our cats. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept the litter boxes clean, refreshed food and water, and took wonderful care of our cats. One of our cats is usually very selective about people, but he came out to her and even enjoyed being petted and played with, which says a lot. She even offered to clean up the mess the cats had made, even though we hadn’t asked. We were able to enjoy our vacation with complete peace of mind, knowing our cats were in caring and reliable hands. Highly recommend!
Jue is the best cat sitter anyone can ask for. First and formost, she studys animal behavior in school so she understands cats very well! . Second, She spent an hour before the first visit to get to know my place and my two cats, and took down a long list of notes, that shows how much ownership she had for this task. Third, she is a GREAT communicator! She responds to messages/requests very quickly, and will send pictures/videos and detailed visit cards so you know 100% your cats are doing well. Last thing, she really pays attention to details, and will help you with things that you cascually missed. In my case I missed cleaning the water fountain. Even though cleaning water fountain was not in the request, she noticed the bugs flying around she just took care of it. 10/10 recommended!
Zheru is a gem! She accepted our last minute booking after another sitter was injured and was very professional and took thorough notes at our meet and greet. She was flexible to come twice a day and was very understanding of my helicopter parenting. She sent a ton of pictures so we knew what was going on while we were away and also sent us notes and was there the full time she said she would be. She set the bar so high, it got us wondering what our past sitters were doing at their visits and how long they were actually at the house. Our cat is super shy and he didn’t come out much, but Zheru was completely understanding of his personality. Thank you Zheru!
Xiaoxiao was wonderful!! She was very caring and communicative, and took amazing care of my cat. She gave lots of love to my cat, and sent many cute pictures and videos. My cat definitely likes her a lot. Would highly recommend and hope to have her help again in the future!
Morgan is awesome, she took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. I appreciated the photos, and that Willie was willing to come out and pose for them. He’s usually shy with people he doesn’t know, but warmed up to Morgan no problem! I had peace of mind that he was well cared for. Thank you Morgan!! 🙏💕
Nicole took great care of our cat, Olive, over the busy July 4th holiday weekend. She completed drop-in visits while we were away, and we really appreciated the updates and photos she sent. Since it was a holiday weekend, things get busy with traffic and such. Nicole communicated with us promptly when there was a delay in the check in time, which we appreciated and helped put our minds at ease. Olive was well cared for, and we came home to a happy kitty. We’d be happy to have Nicole watch Olive again!
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!
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.

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.

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.
