“Mikayla did such a great job checking in on Zeke while I was out of town for the day. Great and prompt communication before, during, and after the visit! Excited for her to dog sit later this month!”
“Nicole was wonderful! She checked on our cat every other day while we were out of town. We met in advance and she asked all the right questions. During the visits, she gave detailed updates and photos. Will absolutely request her services again!”
“Xiaoxiao did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about their well-being. I felt completely at ease while I was away, and my cats were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”
“We just had our puppy fixed and needed some help while we worked. She was so gentle and caring. She made sure that he was careful when he went out to go to the bathroom. She helped make sure he ate some food even though he wasnt feeling too much like eating. I would absolutely ask her to come back and help watch our little pup.”
“Xiaoxiao was an amazing cat sitter! She took the time to really understand my cats’ needs and routines, and was super attentive and organized. My cats can be a bit shy, but she was so patient and gentle with them—and they ended up loving her! It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again for future travels and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!!😻😻”
“Autumn did a wonderful job of taking care of Pumpkin our 18 year old orange tabby. We really appreciated the pictures she sent everyday and time she spent with Pumpkin.”
“Elizabeth is such a kind human and went above and behind to take care of our two kitties & home! I would highly recommend booking with her and will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Kiwi took care of my kitty for about 5 days! She sent many pictures and gave a small story every day :) I was worried my cat would be too shy to come out and play but he warmed up to Kiwi right away and loved hanging out with her. I enjoyed my vacation more knowing he was in such good care. I would recommend Kiwi to anyone!”
“We are very grateful for Jade’s thoughtfulness and care! We have two little doggies with very different personalities/energies and Jade is quite attuned to both of them. Jade is also very communicative, kind, and professional—and clearly very skilled with caring for animals.”
“Toki took really good care of our cats while we were not there. We appreciated everything he has done. We have very good communication all those days. When we are back home, the cats are healthy and happy. Thank you! 👍”
About: I have about 10 years of experience of pet care, as well as 15+ years of farm sitting. I own two cats of my own and also have experience administering prescription foods. Pet care is a life style. Through my own experience owning pets, I know the effort and commitment it takes. House sitting will be limited to specific availability depending on my own commitments. For my offered services, my goal is to not disrupt the already established flow. I plan to learn and adapt to the care and safety guidelines of each house.
“Martina went above and beyond to take care of my dog while I was out of town for work. This included belly rubs, snuggles, play time, and walks. It really felt that Martina treated him as if he was her own. She stuck to the agreed schedule and made sure he was happy. If another opportunity presents itself, I will be reaching back out.”
“Chin Ken was such a good friend to my cats - he sent lots of pictures, reported on the cats’ status regularly and was always timely and meticulous with his visits. He went out of his way to clean up occasional messes as well and kept the litter box tidy and clean. I would definitely work with him again!”
“Me and my kids and my dog Coco can't thank Wendy enough to visit our home and hand hold us on recall, least waking and stay commands . She would follow up with detailed notes post the session so that we could practice at home . she also was very helpful with training aids & tools she brought and letting us use it . She is very patient and doesn't rush and very committed and I will recommend setting up a few sessions with her if your pup is needing training . Thank you Wendy !”
“Tiffany was great! My elderly cat isn't always friendly and Tiffany was super patient and kind with my girl. She took her time with Nala and sent me pictures and updates on her visit.”
About: I’m a naturally caring and patient person who genuinely loves taking care of others, especially animals. I’m great with puppies and have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping pets company, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve always enjoyed caring for others, whether that means looking after children, animals, or helping elderly people. Being able to make someone or their pet feel happy and cared for is something I truly enjoy. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to give your pet the time, patience, and affection they deserve. I’m currently settling into my new apartment and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of companionship. I’ll also be starting online school later in September 2026, which will still allow me to have a flexible schedule around pet care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My apartment does have stairs, but I’m happy to carry your pet up and down them when needed, big or small. For potty breaks and walks, I always use a secure leash and harness and make sure pets are supervised the entire time. My apartment complex also has a small dog park along with plenty of grass and open space for walks and playtime. I’m very mindful of pet safety and make sure anything potentially dangerous is kept out of reach, including cords, small objects, food, and anything that could be chewed or swallowed. I also have a young puppy back home in Arizona who I helped raise, so I understand how curious and energetic puppies can be and how important it is to puppy-proof an environment. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and attention I would give my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
Zheru was super nice to our dog and did so many activities with her during the drop off sessions. She took care of our dog for more than a week and she has been communicative during all this time and sending lots of photos which gave us a piece of mind that our dog is doing well.
We just had our puppy fixed and needed some help while we worked. She was so gentle and caring. She made sure that he was careful when he went out to go to the bathroom. She helped make sure he ate some food even though he wasnt feeling too much like eating. I would absolutely ask her to come back and help watch our little pup.
Jade is fantastic! We had a drop-in visit to introduce her to my dog, Luben, who is usually very shy and sensitive around new people. Jade was extremely patient and gentle, taking it step-by-step to build trust with him. She even took detailed notes on everything we discussed regarding his care. I’m so glad we found her and definitely trust her for future boarding!
Emily always goes above and beyond to do her job. ALWAYS. I don’t think she treats taking care of others’ pets as a job, she genuinely care about the dogs she is asked to walk and visit and commits to make sure their needs are met. A good baby sitter is like gold, the dogs and their humans have to be extremely lucky to have Emily in their lives.
Vanessa has been a life-saver. I recently switched from a remote job to part-time in the office. I was worried to leave my pups alone, so I booked Vanessa to check in on them weekly. She's been fantastic. Flexible, reliable, punctual, and good with the pups. Highly recommend!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newcastle choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
