“Xiaoxiao was fantastic! She was incredibly attentive and responsible with the drop-in visits. Her communication was excellent—she was proactive in keeping me updated and always replied quickly. She was so friendly to my cats, and I could tell that our cats really liked her too. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Scarlett did an amazing job taking care of our old lady Jelly. She followed directions thoroughly, gave her medicine on time and made sure Jelly didn't get lonely while we were gone. She's super nice, communicative and pays attention to the animal's needs. I highly recommend Scarlett (Wanqing) for your pets needs when you need to be away. Will definitely use her again for any upcoming trips!”
“Chin Ken was a phenomenal sitter. He’s very respectful of your home (I’m in the middle of moving so mine is a bit of a mess at the moment and he wasn’t bothered). He takes the time to truly give your pet the attention they need, feeds them and gives them treats! I really appreciate how many pictures he also took of my cat!! Getting the update was my favorite part of the day. He’s so good with cats and I can’t wait to hire him in the future again! Jax LOVED him and we loved him. Thank you Chin Ken!”
“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”
About: I have fostered dogs and cats on and off for 15 years. The last 6 years have been through R.A.S.K. I have fostered and owned all types of dogs. Don't worry if your dog has super high energy or if your puppy chews on everything. Im prepared and have plenty of experience. I'm a stay at home mom so im home all day. I do same day bookings and am flexible if you have last min changes. I have two 18 month old Lab/Husky mixes. They are 90lbs. My puppies are super friendly and very active. My house is perfect for dogs that need to burn up some energy. My son has made a ball pit for the dogs and on warmer days i fill the ball pit with water. I also have a small plastic pool for pups to play in. Dogs have access to fully fenced yard with use of dog door. They are able to come and go as they please. I do close the dog door at night. I installed anti dig guards around my fence to prevent pups from trying to dig under. My house has central air conditioning as well as portable ac units if needed. I have a live camera in the back yard. You will have 24/7 access to camera. There is an option to veiw past recored events for that day. I have motion activated lighting throughout the back yard. Pet waste is removed from yard multiple times a day. I don't use crates or kennels. If your pup feels more comfortable being crated at night you would need to bring their kennel from home. Otherwise i let the dogs sleep where they want. I have plenty of dog beds for them. Most of the time i end up with all the dogs on my king size bed. My cat is dog friendly and is an indoor/outdoor cat.
“Lindsay takes good care of our cat while we’re away for long. She shows care and patience to our cat and build trust. She also helped take care when our cat had to use carpet when litterrobot failed.”
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog. I do also have experience with bite work when it comes to protection line and high energy breeds. Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
“Mikayla was so wonderful to my kitties! She took care of their special needs with Sima and her litterbox issues. They seemed super happy when I got home from my trip ☺️ I will use Mikayla again for sure!”
About: I have a lot of experience with my own dog and cats, and friends and family pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while owners are away, including walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your dog is in good hands. Looking forward to meeting you and your pups 👍 I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your cats! :) I’m available on weekends and weekdays and help you be stressed free about your little ones when you are away from home. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress free while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. Depending on the pet’s needs, I include playtime, litter box or cleanup care, and medication if required, always following the owner’s instructions carefully. I also pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing to make sure they are happy and healthy during each visit.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 12 years old when got my first dog. Very quickly dog owners started trusting me with walking their dogs as well and pet sitting them while owners are away. I have experience of dog sitting from 1 to 12 dogs in a household. For now I work full time, but I am in the process of transitioning to part time. I will be happy to assist over the weekend and visit your pets during business days after work. I keep animals in a safe, clean, and secure environment by following the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise routines. I always supervise pets during visits or walks, ensure doors and leashes are secure, and prioritize their comfort and safety in any setting
About: I’ve had a dog of my own and regularly help care for my neighbors’ dogs as well, giving me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older senior dogs. I’m a college student with an internship, which usually leaves me fully free on Sundays and Mondays (though this can vary week to week). On workdays, I’m available early mornings and in the evenings into the night. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect in every home I visit. I follow any instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure your home is treated with care. I’m also open to dog sitting in my own home depending on the pet’s needs and compatibility.
“Kevin was amazing! He quickly became friends with Muffin - played with him a lot, pet him and even let him sleep on him. Kevin is super friendly and caring. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Thanks, Kevin!”
“Lori did a great job taking care of my dog! She gave him lots of love and attention on her drop-in, made sure his needs were attended to, and stayed in communication with me. Thanks, Lori!”
“Kristen is a very attentive, communicative, thoughtful pet sitter. She did 2 drop ins a day for a little over a week making sure to let me know if there were any issues that came up. I felt at ease having Kristen as my pet sitter for Termite on such short notice. Termite was very well taken care of!”

Emily has this deep love toward the animals. That never changes. She understands the special needs some dogs do, like my dogs. She also goes above and beyond to support me and my dogs during challenging times. We are always grateful and feel lucky to have her in our life
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!
My first time using Rover and it couldn't have gone any better! Jennifer was absolutely a gem to work with. We face timed beforehand and she had great questions and thought of things I didn't even consider to have readily available. My parents pet is an elderly dog that is blind and deaf and we were so apprehensive about leaving him. Jennifer kept me up to date on everything going on and took a lot of pictures. I am so happy with the communication and care that she provided and would definitely recommend her services!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newcastle stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Newcastle with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
