About: Hi! I’m Haodong, and I believe every dog deserves more than just a place to stay—they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. One thing that makes my care different is that I only accept one client (one household) at a time. That means your dog will never have to compete for attention or share the home with several unfamiliar dogs. Every stay is calm, personal, and centered entirely around your dog’s needs. Since I work remotely, I’m home for most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, supervision, regular walks, and personalized attention instead of being left alone for long periods. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can make their stay feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether they love to play, explore the backyard, or simply relax beside someone, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I know trusting someone with your dog is a big decision, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while providing your dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide companionship, supervision, and regular potty breaks throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long hours. To ensure every dog receives my full attention, I only accept one client (or one household) at a time. This allows me to provide truly personalized care, maintain a calm and stress-free environment, and tailor each dog’s stay to their individual routine, personality, and needs. Walks, feeding, playtime, and rest are thoughtfully built into my day, and because I’m home for most of the day, your dog won’t just have someone checking in—they’ll have someone genuinely sharing their day with them. Safety Comes First Your dog’s safety is always my highest priority. I intentionally keep a small number of dogs at a time so every guest receives plenty of individual attention. Outdoor play is always supervised, feeding can be separated when needed, and introductions are handled carefully to help every dog feel comfortable and confident.
“Sanuthi is incredible and very reliable. We have two finicky 12 year old cats and any changes stress out Simba. She was very patient, willing to meet him within his comfort level. She kept in contact through the visits, letting me know of any issues she was seeing, willing to change the plan on the fly. Kitties were in good hands and I am so very grateful for Sanuthi!”
About: I've taken care of my family's dogs since I was 10, as well as the many different dogs (and puppies) we fostered over the years. I've also had some experience caring for my family's two cats (including one very talkative Bengal) for 5ish years. Some of my close friends and neighbors have also entrusted me with caring for their furry friends, including feeding, walking, and generally caring for and about them. I'm a part-time worker and student with a variable but fairly flexible schedule! I’d love to spend time with your furry friends—whether it’s walks, playtime, or house sitting. I'm happy to give your pet the love and attention they deserve! I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and your preferences. For pet sitting in your home, I: - Usually follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and happy. - I'm happy to provide updates, photos, or messages so you can stay in the loop. - Ensure a safe, calm, and stress-free environment—whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay.
“Hayley was an excellent sitter for my cat! I’m always nervous when I’m away, but Hayley’s communication and photo updates really put my anxiety at ease. She was punctual, clean, and did a great job administering my cat’s medicine. She used the remaining appointment time to play with my cat, so she was nice and tuckered out by the time I got home. I would 100% recommend her services!”
“Delaney took great care of our dogs, cat and house while we were gone. Very communicative, lots of updates with photos. She left our house clean and tidy, got our mail and all of our packages (we get a lot) I can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our farm.”
“Todd took amazing care of Finn during our drop‑ins! He was thorough, punctual, and makes dogs/pets feel instantly at ease. Finn can be shy/quirky at first with certain people, but Todd won him over immediately and kept me updated with photos and notes. It’s such a relief knowing Finn is in good hands. We’ll absolutely be using Todd again!”
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom currently taking a break from my career in scientific research to spend more time with my family. I love traveling, exploring the outdoors, cooking, and doing sports. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and would love to give your furry family members the same care, love, and attention I would want for my own. I’m happy to spend time playing, going on walks, or simply keeping your pets company and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾
About: My experience began in 2021, when my partner at the time's older sisters both got puppies (a corgi and a mini poodle). One of them lived with us for 3 months, so I got to train the puppy in that time period. The other one I frequently took care of when their family went on vacation for weeks at a time. Since then, I've been asked by many friends to take care of their dogs. This entails dropping by and making sure they get their walks in, fed, and appropriate amount of play for their personality type. These dogs are small to medium in size. I always prioritize the safety and comfort of the dogs that come into my care. I work part-time at the moment and do have busy seasons. Depending on if I am available, I can drop by and make sure your pet is fed, walked, played with for 1-2 hours at a time. I typically go to people's homes to care for their pet because usually they will be more comfortable in their own home. With my current living situation I cannot take care of pets in my home.
About: I have pet sitted for many of my friends and family. I love to play and give affectionate to our canine friends. I can give dogs their needed medication and bathe them if necessary. I am available Saturday evenings. My free days are usually Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. My schedule can be flexible depending on your times needed to watch your pets. I have a fenced dog park in my complex. I am able to crate dogs if necessary. I will adhere to any instructions you may have when I come to your home to check in on your animals.
“Elizabeth was a great sitter for our cat! She was responsive, had great communication, was comfortable with additional request to help our cat eat even though he had low appetite, knew when to give our cat space and when to engage in playtime and affection, gave great photos and reports. We had a great trip knowing Elizabeth was taking care of our cat. We will book her again in the future for sure.”
About: I have been doing personal pet care and pet-sitting since I got my rabbit 8 years ago. I am very familiar with small animals, cats and dogs! I took animal and vet science classes for 2 years. I am responsible and qualified in the care and needs of animals. I currently work in the morning, so I am available for lots of care throughout the day for your pets! I am free all day weekends, im always available for in-house overnight care. Weekdays im available before 8 am, and after 1 pm. I closely monitor pets for their safety and needs, and give them lots of snuggles and play! I like to make sure the space is clean of any messes, for mine and the pets wellbeing
“Elizabeth was reliable and self-sufficient while caring for Frank during my trip. She provided ample updates and Frank was happy upon our return home. I will not hesitate to book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, birds, etc. My friends, coworkers, family, and others have all trusted me with their babies. This is truly how I see animals, as an extension of your family!

About: I've taken care of my own dogs since I was around 14, and I dogsit a family friends big dogs. Having stubborn dogs has led me to have alot of patience and quick with reflexes. Gaining experience with bigger dogs that can be seen as aggressive or scary has helped me learn to be more calm and careful. Per care for me helps me also exercise too! I love going on walks with my dogs and it gives them proper outside time, instead of just putting them out back. I will ensure that I can be on alert for bathroom during the night, ensuring that they feel safe with me as well. Gaining trust is # 1.

Chad was very easy to communicate with, easygoing, flexible when my schedule changed, happy to help, and thorough. He got along well with all three of my pets, and sent excellent pictures and end-of-visit summaries. Would love to have him come by again. Thanks Chad!
Lillian has a very chill aura about her which is SUPER helpful because my dogs are the exact opposite— high energy and high anxiety. She’s able to divide her attention between the high anxiety dog and the high energy without making either one feel left out. She’s been super patient with the high anxiety dog and has been able to gain her trust within just a couple of meetings. Will definitely use her services again in the future.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
