“Thank you for taking such good care of Zoey. I know she's not always a low-maintenance dog, especially with regard to her insistence on climbing into your lap. The photos you sent were reassuring and very welcome. Thanks again. Rich”
“Lena took great care of my dog. She walked him, let him sleep with her and updated how he was doing with pictures and videos every day. This allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him.”
“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 and his family was an amazing host for our pupper. Nobu will definitely be staying here in future. We even got cute pictures of our furbaby everyday enjoying his time at Shon’s place.”
“Giving Ivy a 5 star rating for many reasons. They genuinely cared for our dog and shared pics of playing with her and walking her. They have a spacious backyard space and toys for dogs to play with. I can tell that our dog was happy, calm, and fit in great with others. They did an excellent job communicating with us and sharing updates. I highly recommend them!”
“Xiangyu and Qi took such great care of Natto during her first boarding! I was a little worried but she had no separation anxiety at all. They sent pictures and videos every day, giving me so much peace of mind when I was traveling. Natto also got along really well with Charlie and had a wonderful time together. I’m so grateful for their care and would absolutely book with them again! Highly recommend 😊”
“Theresa was wonderful. Our previous sitter backed out two days before our trip and despite the short notice Theresa was more than happy to help! We explained Marley might try to mark territory on his first day (he did) and Theresa was incredibly understanding. We received regular photo updates and a longer debrief when we returned. Marley seems to fit in well with the resident pets and he even seemed a bit sad when we picked him up!!! I am very thankful to Theresa personally for not only getting us out of a tight spot but also being so wonderful to Marley. Would love to book with her again.”
“Scarlet is extremely flexible. We are notoriously late and she is always kind and accommodating. We also love that she only takes one client at a time, so our Rosie gets all of their attention.”
“Kaylie is incredible! She is so communicative and our pups are always so excited when they get to spend time with her and her own pups! We always have a peace of mind when Kaylie is watching our sweet pups.”
“First time using Elan M./Rover service and we would highly recommend Elan M. to look after our dog next time we are in need of a sitter. Elan's daily photo updates kept us informed and relieved us of his security and care. Thank you Elan for looking after our loved one so well. Appreciate it!”
“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!😂”
“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!”
“Deepika and her family are absolutely incredible! This was our first time using her, and we would rebook again anytime without hesitation. She truly loves dogs, and it shows in the exceptional care she provides. Her house and yard are so spacious, giving the dogs plenty of room to run and play safely. I received frequent updates with tons of photos and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly patient, kind, and showered my dog with so much love. I cannot recommend this lovely sitter enough!”
“We can’t say enough great things about Lisa! She has been our go-to dog sitter for a while now, and it’s clear every time we leave our pups that they are in the best hands. Lisa treats our dogs like her own—with the utmost care, attention, and love. What really sets her apart is how communicative she is. We receive daily updates (sometimes more!) with photos and sweet notes about how our dogs are doing, what adventures he’s been on, and how they are spending their day. It’s honestly the highlight of our day—we always look forward to seeing what they are up to, and let’s be honest, they always seem to be having a better vacation than we are! Lisa has truly earned our trust. We’re repeat customers for a reason: she consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a cozy nap, or playtime with friends, we know our dogs (frenchie and mini schnauzer) is not just being watched—they are being cared for and loved like family. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and communicative sitter. We can’t wait to see the next round of pictures and adventures she shares with us!”
“Kirsten is the best - I know my pup loves staying with her because he gets so excited when we get there and runs right into her house. She is very flexible and communicates and shares great updates. So appreciate the peace of mind when she is caring for my dog, that he is in such good hands and having a great time.”
“Wendy and her family took care of my mini schnauzer for one day boarding. Wendy sent multiple pictures throughout the day and I could tell my dog was doing great there. There were 3 other dogs and my dog had fun with the doggie friends! As a small dog owner, I liked the fact they only accept small dogs. Recommend Wendy for anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Xiaoshan and Xiuli did a great job boarding my dog. They took the time to make sure she got along well with the other pets in the house. They took her on walks and shared photos of her enjoying her time with them. Will definitely reach out to book them again 😊”
“Edgar and Didi came home happy and healthy!!! Ben accepted my short notice booking, which I really appreciate. During the 8 days Ben and his family watched Edgar and Didi I received pictures and/or a short video every day. There were a couple of there dogs (all friendly) that my pups got to play with, and two or three walks every day. Additionally they played with and cuddled my pups. I would definitely book with Ben again.”
“Our dog loves going to Anping! We always know he is going to be well taken care of, go on many walks, and get good updates while we are away! We highly recommend to anyone looking for a qualified and communicative rover!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
Kirsten is definitely a star dog sitter. She was extremely communicative in giving updates about my dog during the sitting. She was extra considerate to address his needs, being a senior dog including medication and bladder needs. The kids were very sweet on him. Would absolutely book again without a doubt.
Xiangmin always takes first class care of Samuel and sends regular updates on how he is doing. Sam is a puppy and Xiangmin helps us to maintain his training while she cares for him which has been both short term visits and a long term stay while we are on vacation. We will continue to book Sam with Xiangmin, he is so happy every time we drop him off!
Zeus was so excited to go back to Andrew’s! As always, he had a great time, which was obvious from all the photos and videos we received. It’s always such a stress free, easy experience for all of us. We know Zeus is in great hands, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter!
Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I am always a bit nervous leaving my pup with new folks. This is the first time Rebecca watched Misiu. Upon meeting her I knew she was the right person and would provide the care, attention, awareness and comfort to my dog. She is very communicative, responsible and caring. She took care of him very well. I received pictures multiple times a day, she made sure to update me on how he did after eating, going on a walk, and how his day was. I felt so at peace knowing that my dog is with her. She is my number #1 dog sitter for sure! 💕
This was our first time boarding Bentley away from home. Candace helped us get him acclimated to her place with a meet and greet and playdate with her dogs before we dropped him off for the weekend. She kept in touch with us about how he was settling in, and made sure he got the attention he needed to feel comfortable.
He has taken care of our pet, Golu, twice, and both times he made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. He took wonderful care of Golu, and we could tell he genuinely cared for him. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Golu!
Sheila was an amazing host to our Mini Labradoodle. Her dog Teddy bonded with our Millie and made her stay with Sheila so much better. We received many pictures of Millie everyday which made us feel even better about leaving her while on vacation. We definitely will have Millie stay with Sheila and Teddy next time we need a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newcastle on Rover is $46.01 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,865 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.
