“Loic, Kristen and the kids were wonderful with Koa! He went on long walks everyday, played fetch and tug of war and was showered with love!! The minute we met the family, koa felt right at home! Such a welcoming family and great at communicating. I received pictures and videos everyday, so it made me feel like he was right there with me! Highly recommend :)”
“Heather took excellent care of my dog. I appreciated her responsiveness to communicating logistics and the updates she shared while caring for my dog. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our new pup and Theresa did a great job keeping us informed by sending pictures and updates. It was reassuring to see that he was doing good and was well taken care of. Theresa is very responsive, we would use her again! Thanks Theresa 😊”
“Debbi took such great care of our puppy. Sent us daily pictures to see what adventures and shinanagins he was getting into. Will definitely be rebooking with Debbi when we head out on vacation again.”
“Lena was fantastic!! Her household is well-suited for a variety of dogs, she seemed to offer our dog lots of love and support as he was a little nervous in this new environment, but he warmed up quickly. We will continue to work with Lena on future boarding. We highly recommend her!”
“Lisa is incredible! It's hard to find someone who loves dogs as much as we do. She not only takes pictures and tracks their walks, she shares communication on a regular basis. We even know when our dog eats and goes to the bathroom. Totally worth booking her if you love your dog!!! Enzo didn't want to come home, he ran straight back to her car so there's no better testimonial than that.”
“Quinten and his wife took wonderful care of our Elle. We could see from the many videos and pictures that Elle was treated like family and that she loved being there. We were at peace during our overseas trip that our pup was in good hands.”
“Elan was great! River had an injured/infected paw and Elan made sure to clean his paw daily and had his sock on so he wouldn’t lick his wound. She was also great with communication. Thank you, Elan!”
“Liz did a wonderful job with our dog Chunk! It was our first time leaving him with her and she made sure to send us frequent pictures and updates. Absolutely recommend if your pet loves all the attention because Liz will give it to them!”
“Kaylie was so great! Flexible and patient with us due to some last minute changes. She did took a great care of our boy, followed up with us without us having to ask her. Lemmy had a great time with her and his new friends! I highly recommend Kaylie, she’s very kind and reliable.”
“Shay is kind and a great communicator. She sent pictures every day. Lily had a great time watching the birds and squirrels in Shay’s yard. I could tell Lily felt comfortable and she had such a great time, she didn’t really even want to come home!😂”
“It was an amazing experience boarding Haku with Quang! We received tons of photo and video updates of Haku playing and having a great time. Quang’s response time to our messages was incredibly fast and it was obvious that Haku was well cared for and happy. We highly recommend it!”
“Mckenna took great care of our dog. She was very attentive and communicative. She sent us sweet pictures of our dog playing and interacting with her dogs everyday, which assured us he was in good care and having lots of fun. Mckenna was also really flexible—she allowed us to drop our dog earlier than planned and pick him up early too.”
“We have had a wonderful experience leaving Barney with Shon and his family. He comes back happy, well-exercised and cared for. We are repeat clients for Shon and can't imagine leaving Barney anywhere else for our out of town trips.”
“Xiangyu and Vicky took great care with my senior dog, Charlie. I had lots of specific directions for grooming, feeding and activities for Charlie since he is getting dementia and they made him (and me) very comfortable. I had been struggling with who could care for him and am so happy to have found them. I will definitely use them again in the future!”
“I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter Wanqing and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitter. From very beginning, she listened to all the routines that my cat needs and takes very detailed notes. She is very quick in responding to messaging and communication. She sends me updated photos and videos of my cat everyday and make sure I have the peaceful mind, they also helped packing all his belongings when I am picking him up , they are very considerate and sweet couple. I would highly recommend them to all pet owners who look for sitter!”
“Sheila very last minute (after another Rover flaked out 4 days before we were supposed to go out of town) agreed to take our pup and we could not have been happier. She was careful with her allergies and transition to a new home while we were away. She made sure our dog was loved, exercised, having fun and so beyond taken care of. Thank you Sheila and family!”
“Daria gave so many picture updates, so I always knew he was being cared for! He was super happy when I came to pick him up, and seemed to get along well with the other dogs there. Already have another stay booked with her!”
“Lisa is amazing and our pup Lady loved her time there. Lisa was great at communicating and keeping us updated with pictures of Lady and their adventures. I always get a little nervous leaving our pup behind but Lisa’s was like a home away from home. Highly recommend her!! Thank you, Lisa - you’re the best!”

Ani and Pallavi are wonderful! They took amazing care of our two dogs, sending regular updates and pictures, which is always so comforting when you are away! Ani had carefully read all our instructions and followed them very seriously. He even agreed to communicate with us through WhatsApp since we were abroad. Finally, when our flight time was changed at the last minute, Ani allowed us to bring our pups the night before, which was enormous relief! We highly recommend them and will definitely reach out for our next trip. Thank you so much Ani and Pallavi!
Iksy takes such wonderful, personal care of Chester! Chester is very sensitive to his surroundings, so seeing him come home happy and full of energy means a lot to me. I love the daily photo updates, and Iksy always follows my care instructions closely. From his safe, welcoming home to outings and picnics, Chester gets to have his own little vacation!
Bianca was an absolute lifesaver! After our previous sitter canceled last minute right before an out-of-state trip, we were incredibly stressed about finding someone qualified. Thankfully, we found Bianca's profile, and she immediately put our minds at ease by arranging a virtual meet-and-greet. She took amazing care of our dog, George, and is a fantastic communicator. Every day, she sent detailed updates, activity summaries, and plenty of photos where George looked completely happy and content. He got tons of exercise on his walks, and it was obvious he was being loved and well-cared for. Bianca is so sweet, kind, and genuinely thoughtful about George’s well-being. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, highly recommend her to anyone, and will absolutely book with her again!
Our two beagles always have the best time with Quentin and his house full of pup friends! We have been booking stays with him for the past year. We appreciate his quick responses, daily video updates, and generous flexibility in making our schedules work. Looking forward to our boys’ next stay!
Wanqing took wonderful care of my dog, Waikiki. He came home happy, relaxed, and refreshed. Wanqing also provided timely updates throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated the care and attention and would definitely recommend Wanqing!
We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of of our pup while we were away and followed all of his care instructions closely. She made sure he was fed appropriately, kept him clean, and was very attentive to his needs. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. We came home to a happy, clean, and well-cared-for pup. We would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch our pup again!
We had a wonderful experience with Aileen. She took great care of our dog, walked him regularly, spent lots of time playing with him, and sent us photos every day. It was so reassuring to see that he was happy and having a great time while we were away. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. We truly appreciate everything she did and would definitely book with her again!
We so much appreciated the care and attention that Lori provided to our pup! We had to change our dates and there was an ear issue that arised while we were away and Lori went out of her way to purchase ear meds and administered untill we returned. Lori is flexible and pro-active and provided our family with peace of mind❤
Melinda was fantastic! We really prefer to have boarding that feels like home for our pups, where they're free to be with the family, cuddle, and take naps on the bed. Melinda and family checked all those boxes, keeping the dogs occupied, taking them out for walks and drives, and being very responsive. One of our dogs wasn't used to cats but we were able to do a meet and greet and get a sense for how it would be. It was a non-issue as Nico was very chill and kept to himself. We'd be happy to book again!
Alina took great care of our dog! She was always responsive, sent us daily updates, and followed all of our instructions carefully. She also made sure our dog received all her medications exactly as instructed. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Alina again!
We are so lucky to have met Deepika through Rover. We have travelled the distance for a compatible sitter so having her close to home is a bonus! Deepika is very communicative and provided us daily updates and photos/ videos.it made our trip away from Teddy a peaceful one. Definitely my go-to sitter for Teddy!!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
91% of sitters in Newcastle can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newcastle home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Newcastle.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Newcastle sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
