“Heather was great! She made sure maple was fed and happy. She sent lots of pictures to keep updated which I loved! She was very quick to respond and very friendly! Would definitely book again!”
“My pup stayed with Lena over the Christmas holiday. He enjoyed many walks and I’m glad I could trust that he was in good hands while we were away. Our flight was delayed on the way back due to weather and Lena was super understanding and flexible with pickup time, which we really appreciated!”
“Quinten has been excellent sitter for our dog while we were out of town. He is regularly sending photos and videos and is quick to respond to texts. He usually has quite a few dogs at a time and they all seem to have a blast. Highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a sitter!”
“Our rescue dog, Liam, has stayed for 3 extended visits (averaging ~ a week each). He's had excellent care. No kennel. He sleeps on his own pillow. He's had some reactivity issues in the past while guarding "his space", but Elan has been very good at making him feel at home and he's had no issues while in her care with other dogs. She sends frequent updates and pictures and is very responsive to questions that might arise.”
“We had an amazing experience with Leslie. She is so professional and caring. She treated our pup like her own by spoiling him with car rides to the park, walks, treats, and toys. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. We felt confident he was receiving attention and care while we were away on vacation for a week. We cannot recommend Leslie enough!!”
“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!”
“Min was great! She took care of Sunshine for almost 3 weeks, every day she’d send a photo and tell us how she was doing! Sunshine seemed so happy when we pocked her up. Would definitely recommend Min!”
“Nafa seemed to have a wonderful time with Daria, and came hope tired and happy. Daria was easy to communicate and plan with, and sent lots of cute pictures of my dog throughout the stay. Thank you!”
“Cooper had a great visit with Victoria and Kaspar. I appreciated the daily updates and photos and their gentle care of him, particularly with his anxiety issues. They truly put my mind at ease and Cooper seemed to have a wonderful stay. Thank you for taking such great care of our little man!”
“Zankhana was a wonderful sitter and will use her again. She provided a lot of updates and pics while she had Kevin which is exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease.”
“Lucie was great with my dog. She took the time to meet up with us and introduce our dogs and make sure they would get along. She asked lots of great questions to make sure he would have a good time. She made sure he was comfortable and well looked after. I appreciated the occasion updates and photos. We will definitely use Lucie again.”
“Deborah took great care of Simba, she understands reactive dogs and gave him lots of great stimulation while working to avoid his triggers. He seems to have had a great time and we’ll definitely be back again soon!”
“Debbi was a great caretaker for our puppy! We got regular updates about her behavior, eating, and interactions with her dog Teddy and another guest dog. Our puppy was walked every day and even got to play with Debbi’s son. She came home so tired, happy and clean :) We would definitely recommend Debbi!”
“We can’t recommend our sitter highly enough! Charleston stayed for 10 days while we were traveling internationally, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. We received regular updates and adorable photos, which meant so much to us! Charleston looked so happy and comfortable every day. We would book with them again in a heartbeat and are so grateful for the exceptional care they gave our sweet Charleston. Thank you for everything!”
“Hyeyoung and her family took great care of George! She sent great updates each day about George. Her photos are amazing! She made George look like a vogue doggy. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“This is my second time! Stanley and family are trustworthy! Very good communication. My dogs are so happy to meet their dachshund, Charlie:) I could enjoy family vacation time without any concerns or stress. Thank you very much.”
“Jeremy was wonderful! From the quick initial inquiries and the prompt responses to my questions, he was on top of it. He was more than willing to do a meet and greet at his home and accommodated my schedule, even though he had an important event to attend. Very nice guy! His house is nicely set up, clean, and very dog friendly. My dog had access to his fenced yard. My Mimi is very clingy so he was able to make her happy by accommodating her needs as well. Jeremy regularly sent me pictures and kept me updated during that week I was gone. I'm so glad to have found Jeremy. I know my Mimi is in good hands with both him and his lovely daughter, Paige. Thank you so much for taking awesome care of Mimi. I will certainly be using his services again!”
“Tatiana was amazing with my two puppies. Communication was great and we got daily pictures. She was very accommodating and we highly recommend her if you want someone to pamper your fur babies.”
“Joshua’s home is a haven for our older but energetic, dog-selective girl, Penny. I can tell she feels so loved and snuggled, and I feel confident and secure that she is safe and has space from other doggos. Joshua also takes the best pictures of her! Truly a great experience, both for doggy parents and for the pup!”

Simba had a great time with Jiwon and her partner! They were super communicative and sent us lots of updates and photos of Simba every day. He looked so comfy and spoiled the whole time, and even made friends with one of their stuffed toys that they kindly let him play with. It was really nice knowing he was in such good hands, and we’d definitely book with Jiwon again!
This was our first time needing to leave our dog with someone other than a family member and Alexis made it so comforting, stress free, and easy! We know Tulip loved playing with her pups and was taken great care of! She got the best of all worlds with this set up- fun play time with very well behaved and friendly dogs, outdoor time in a big fenced yard, and human connection being the only pet she takes on at a time. We will definitely be back!
We had such a wonderful experience! Audrey was incredibly caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. She and her family treated our dogs like their own, taking them on lots of fun outings, brushing their fur, and even trimming their nails. Our dogs absolutely adored her whole family and seemed like they didn’t even want to come home! It was so heartwarming to see how happy and loved they were throughout their stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!
Yuna was an absolute gem to have caring for Pixel! From the start she was proactive, thoughtful, and clearly put his wellbeing first. She always checked with us before giving him any food or treats, which meant a lot given how careful we are with his diet. She sent constant updates with photos, so we never had to wonder how he was doing. Pixel got plenty of exercise and came back happy, relaxed, and well looked after. You can tell Yuna genuinely loves what she does. Reliable, communicative, and caring. I would 100% recommend her and will absolutely book her again! A special shout out to Mocha who was an Excellent doggo, he and pixel became good friends :)
This was my first time using a dog sitter, so finding someone trustworthy who truly loves dogs was really important to me. Ivy and Dan took wonderful care of my mini Aussie! They sent plenty of photos every day, and I could tell how much they love dogs. My dog also had a great time playing with Freddie. I’ll definitely book with them again!
This is the second time Piper has stayed with Andrew and Cassandra and she absolutely loved it once again. Piper was so happy she hardly wanted to come home! We got many great Piper photos and videos at the park, in the water, running in the backyard, and snoozing on the couch. We hope to see them again soon.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Newcastle is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,813 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newcastle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% 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, 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.
Tip: 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 , 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 .
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.
