“Kristen sent us daily photos logging Chloe's day of being spoiled. She had multiple walks everyday and even got to lick the spoon with her food on it. There were pics of her getting belly rubs, cuddling on the sofa, sunbathing, and helping with a puzzle. We noticed Chloe seemed to miss Kristen and her family when she got home. Chloe has been asking for walks after meals and wants more attention. We will definitely book again!”
“Shon took great care of my pups. He sent pictures to us throughout the day. He has 2 friendly dogs Chiko and Sammy that my dogs played with. We definitely will reach out to Shon again next time. Highly recommend!”
“My dogs had a wonderful time at McKenna's house! They got along great with Jaxx, and I could tell how happy they were from McKenna’s daily updates. Both of my dogs are seniors who need extra care and medication, and McKenna took good care of them. She was easy to communicate with and always attentive to their needs. Highly recommend!”
“First time using Rover and Kirsten made it so easy. Frequent pictures and updates throughout our trip. Our dog requires medication at the exact same time each day and she had no problem managing his schedule and keeping detailed notes. Our little guy had a great time. Thanks for putting us at ease with leaving him.”
“Anping was great! First time using rover and I was so nervous but it went very smoothly. Anping is very quick to respond to any questions and is very accommodating. I especially appreciated receiving pictures several times per day, everyday. Thank you Anping, I will definitely book with you again in future!”
“Zankhana was absolutely wonderful! Our dog got several walks every day, and we received lots of photos and updates throughout his stay. It was so reassuring to know he was happy and well taken care of. We already booked its next stay! 🐾❤️”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
Lena is delightful. She takes excellent care of my two Havanese and sends me the cutest little pictures each day of their walks or play around her house. She takes extra effort to care for my 13 year-old male Havanese, who is struggling with congestive heart failure. When I leave town, I never worry about my puppies because I know they’re being taken care by Lena, who is loving, compassionate, and skilled at taking care of all of my dogs needs.
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!
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Newcastle is $45 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $85 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
92% 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newcastle. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
