“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Loic and Kristen! They were so kind and easy to communicate with. Our dog had a birthday during her stay with them and they had some special approved treats and birthday signs ready for her! They sent lots of pics and videos, multiple times a day and took her on many walks. Super quick to reply over the app. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time having my 2-year-old dog Leo boarded, and for nearly a week. He ended up doing great. I very much appreciated the meet and greet with Lena, and the initial discussion, and letting Leo explore the yard and part of the house. He did well at the actual dropoff and from what I could tell, had a good time overall. He came back clean and happy. I received daily photos and videos as well, which was great, and I would definitely have him stay with Lena again.”
“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.”
“Shon was very good with miso, and so gentle with dogs in general. Had a meet and greet before the boarding and it was nice to see how the house was super dog friendly.”
“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 😊”
“Wanqing and her husband were excellent with my pup! I am visiting from out of the area and she accepted my last minute booking as I was planning a hiking trip to Mt. Rainier (where most of the hikes are not dog friendly). She was attentive to my dog and took him on several walks and even to the dog park. She communicated well throughout the stay and sent pictures and videos! Kado left happy and tired! Will definitely rebook if I am in the area again.”
“Quinten is a dog lover and took very good care of Mickey. We received regular video updates, it almost seemed that our dog had a better vacation than we did! If you are looking for a good sitter, Quinten is you guy!”
“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!😂”
“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!”
“Kaylie is our go-to sitter! Rigby always has a great time with her pups and we’re always getting pics/videos of Kaylie playing fetch with her, which is her favorite activity.”
“You won't regret booking your dog stay with Lisa! Lisa is more than just a dog sitter; she's become like family to us (and our dog!). She goes above and beyond, showering our dog with love and exceptional care. We always know our she is in the best hands, and we especially love the frequent photo updates of all their adventures. Plus, Lisa is incredibly flexible with scheduling and a great communicator!”
“Mckenna and her mom Shirley are the best caretakers of my wonderful old dog Chewie that I could ever imagine. He's near end of life now, but Mckenna still agreed to take him for a day in October even after his challenging week long stay at her house in September. Thank you, Mckenna and Shirley!”
“Lilo's stay with Akiko was wonderful! Her daily updates/photos were so helpful that we started looking forward to the day's update. She had all of Lilo's things organized when we picked her up. Lilo came back a happy dog. Would definitely book her again in the future.”
“This was our 2nd time using Sheila and again felt that we’re so lucky that we were able to find her. She took such a great care of our Simba, who had happened to have some stomach issues this time. Sheila went extra and beyond for taking care of him with lots of love and attentions. She sent us very thorough and thoughtful reports with photos & videos of how Simba’s doing and that made us feel relieved and know he was in good hands. Sheila is trustworthy and lovable person who can takes a great care of your furry baby. Sheila also has a HUGE fully fenced backyard that dogs can safely play & get lost, and her Goldendoodle, Teddy, is such a friendly boy and Simba loves to be around. Must have been great for having a big brother like him. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Anping took such good care of Sam while I was out of town. It was a huge weight off my shoulders because I'm generally pretty anxious when I leave her, especially a new sitter. But he made me feel at ease with lots of pictures and lots of walks! I would definitely book with him again”
“Cheryl took great care of Knuckles, and sent many photos and videos of her playing and having a good time with the other dogs! She was easy to get in touch with and very kind with our dog! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable sitter!”
“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!”
“Emily and Patrick were absolutely incredible with Isla! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Their dog, Winter, got along so well with Isla, and it was heartwarming to see how much fun they had together. They went above and beyond to make sure Isla was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We also want to give a big thank you to their son, who was so sweet and played with Isla! Their patience and attentiveness truly made a difference, and we couldn’t be happier with their boarding services. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“If there were more than 5 stars I would select them all. I cannot recommend her enough! She took incredible care of Loki and truly treated him like royalty. Not only did she make sure he got plenty of walks and attention, but she also groomed him and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. What I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She sent frequent updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Loki, and I came home to a happy, healthy, and well-loved pup. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
Being gone for two weeks out of country, I wouldn't leave Lily with just anybody. Patricia and her family cared for Lily as if she was a member of their family. Lily cries with excitement when we get close to her home. That is Lily's review of Patricia and her family!
Bibiana did an amazing job taking care of our dachshund Winnie. Winnie seemed to really enjoy her stay with Bibiana and her partner Will! We got lots of updates and pictures during our trip. We felt confident the whole time that Winnie was being well taken care of. Winnie can be a tough cookie and we are so grateful to Bibiana for giving her so much love while we were out. I would definitely recommend trusting Bibiana with your fur baby! :)
Xiaoli was absolutely amazing! She sent lots of updates and photos throughout Ace’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. Communication was excellent, and she made sure to keep us informed the entire time. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We’d definitely book with Xiaoli again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter!
Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our 15 month old puppy. She sent multiple video/texts/day which we were grateful for. And wasn't phased that we had 2 medications for her to administer that were unexpectedly needed. It was a 9 night stay and it went great. Our dog looked active, engaged and came home happily tired! Thanks, Rachel!
Rebecca was a dream come true! We always worry about our dog when he’s being watched by other people, but this was the first time I was truly at ease leaving him with someone new. I fully believe he had more fun than we did while we were away! She took him for walks every day, played ball with him, and made sure he had all the snuggles he wanted. She even let him play in the water during one of their hikes, which is the only thing he loves as much as his ball! We were updated daily on how he was doing and I looked forward to the photos of his adventures. The only reason I’m hesitant to leave a review is because we want her to be available for the next time we travel! Choosing her to watch you dog is a no brainer and we are so lucky to have found her!
Iksu took amazing care of our dog, peanut. It has been a tough time as we recently lost our eldest dog and Iksu was extremely supportive and accommodating as we needed to change schedules etc. They were communicative and inquired early about his needs. We will definitely use them again.
Amazing! This was the second time watching our dog, Maverick, and he had an amazing time. This was a long trip away and Shay kept us updated with pictures and messages the whole time. There was never a worry for us. Our pup loves staying here and we feel so comfortable leaving him. Thank you Shay for taking such good care of him while we were away!
We were out of town and needed a dog sitter for our young puppy, Cookie, and Jamie was so wonderful! I know Cookie had a fun time, and she did everything to make him feel comfortable during his stay. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.
Ani and Palavi have taken care of 2 different dogs for us on multiple occasions. They are wonderful, kind, flexible and very kind and thoughtful with the dogs. The dogs are well taken care of and very happy while we have been away. They are my first choice always for dog sitters.
⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care and Peace of Mind!⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I cannot recommend Quinten enough! We needed to find a sitter who was available to care for our dogs while we were away for our wedding. This was our very first time boarding them, let alone for five consecutive days—so when we first brought them to his place for a meet-and-greet, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. Quinten’s environment was exactly what we needed. Our boys weren't reactive at all around Quinten or the dogs. Quinten has a very calm demeanor, and his background in doggy daycare and veterinary care shines through immediately, showing a true, deep love for dogs. We instantly felt so comfortable that we knew right away we needed to book with him, completely skipping the need to meet with any other sitters. He sent us tons of adorable photo and video updates throughout the week, which we absolutely loved and appreciated. It completely took the stress out of being away from them. Quinten often watches 10+ dogs at a time, which turned out to be an amazing opportunity for our boys. Because they hadn't had many opportunities to bond with other dogs before this, being part of his "pack" provided them with a safe environment to socialize and learn pack dynamics. All the dogs Quinten watches are smaller breeds, which gave us an extra layer of comfort. Our dog, Milo, has joint issues, and we use stairs throughout the home to prevent jumping off the furniture. We felt reassured that Quinten already had his home perfectly set up safely for his dauchsund and other small pups just like ours. We felt right at home the second we walked through the door. Quinten is incredibly personable, a genuinely nice guy, and works from home, so he’s able to give the dogs alot of attention. Plus, on the rare occasion he isn't home, his wife is available to watch and care for them. His rates are fair and reasonable, which we especially appreciated since we were booking for two dogs. We are so glad we found Quinten. Milo and Loki came home happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted. When we take our honeymoon in October, we will definitely reach out to him again to care for them while we are out of the country. Thank you so much again Quinten for caring for our furbabies!! You are the best!!! 🥰🙏🐾

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Newcastle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newcastle on Rover is $46.01 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,871 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Newcastle sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Newcastle landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
