“Allexis is the best dog walker I've ever had! She is so communicative, kind, caring and flexible. My dog has struggled with some big life changes and transitions we've been going through and Allexis has been patient and loving with her. I've seen a huge difference in my dog's demeanor since Allexis and I've so grateful!”
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.
“My small yorkie LuLu doesn’t normally walk with anyone but me and very few people who have watched her. Vanessa was able to get her to go on a walk and do her business. It took the stress out of my travel day knowing that LuLu was well cared for. Thank you Vanessa!”
“My dog and I love Wendy! She’s been walking Murphy for quite a while now and is always very thorough, professional, and they cover a lot of ground! I like that she is also a trainer and really understands how to handle a difficult and sometimes aggressive dog like Murphy. She definitely knows what she’s doing! Love her!”

“I met Teresa and her sister Janice. They are wonderful and professional. I felt comfortable immediately. Both of our Golden doodles acted so happy and comfortable too. They walked the dogs as planned and it was great. I feel totally confident that Stella and Sam are well taken care of. I am planning may more walks in the future. ?”
“Our 2-Year-old retriever found his new bestie!!! Marcea was amazing from our first meet and greet to Rip's walk and ball throwing adventures. Could not have asked for a sweeter, more caring Rover! Thank you so much Marcea. Rip already misses you...”

About: I have years of experience with both my own pets and those of friends. My own dogs are both large breeds with high energy; on a daily basis we go on multiple walks and make trips to the dog park. I have years of experience walking leash reactive dogs/pullers, and have often house/dog/cat sat for friends over the years. Spending time with and taking care of animals is something that brings me great joy, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you and your furry friend(s). I understand the love we have for our animals as owners, and will deliver the same care that I would want for my own. I'm currently in a transitional phase, so I have lots of time in my days to help with your pet care needs. I live in safe, quiet area with lots of walking routes, and I am roughly an eight minute drive from two different dog parks. I have four animals of my own, two dogs and two cats, so I am aware of what it takes to care for pets. I currently live in a two bed/two bath, 1200 sqft. apartment, equipped with a small complex bark park. I have two friendly dogs that love making new dog friends. Pets are allowed on furniture, and receive lots of one-on-one attention, as well as frequent walks and opportunities for play. I have experience with high energy and leash reactive dogs, and have the patience to handle different animal personality types.

About: I have experience caring for friends' dogs, as well my previous Retriever mix Lucky. I had her for 13 years from her energetic puppy years to a senior who needed a lot of attention and medication. My home is missing a set of paws walking around it now and I have a very flexible schedule until I leave for a new job in August. I look forward to getting in touch! I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of free time for your pups! In a typical week I will only leave the house for a few hours at a time for a couple reoccurring appointments on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around and play. There is a lot of open space in my home and air conditioning to keep everyone cool. I enjoy varying levels of activity from going on runs or walks, to chilling on the couch.
“Lori was great and was so sweet with Baobao. We really appreciated her coming for a meet and greet so everyone was comfortable with the situation. Baobao was clearly comfortable with her”
About: We have been caring for dogs for many years. Starting from puppies to full grown dogs over the years and know how to understand what a dog needs for a healthy, happy, and full life. Aharon works from home most of the time. With just one dog at home it would be easy to add another. It’s easy to add another to the pack! We take our dogs outside for exercise twice a day and have play sessions in between. We have 1200 sqft of interior space for the dogs to play and chill with a fenced backyard. There’s also a dog park almost right in our backyard where we go to all the time. The area is residential and lots of families around that know us.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Newcastle is $25

Emily is literally amazing. My Stella is super shy and doesn’t warm up to new people very quickly. She’s 8 years old and we have never ever left her with anyone that wasn’t family. From the moment Emily walked into our house, Stella had found a new friend. She was so good with her!!! Stella even gave her kisses!!! Thank you Emily for taking such good care of my baby. I hope she gets to see her new friend many many more times!!
We did a trial meet-and-greet walk with Pauline and her dog, Comet, for our German Shepherd (Korben) and Husky mix (Deckard). Pauline was fantastic. Our Husky can be a bit selective and leash-reactive, but she handled him with total confidence and ease on our neighborhood walk. She has great instincts with dog dynamics, remained completely unfazed by typical introduction behaviors, and our senior GSD took to her immediately. It’s a huge relief to find a local sitter who understands large breeds and active dogs so well. Highly recommend!
Jade has helped us walk the dog few times. Jade is absolutely incredible with our two dogs! Handling two distinct personalities can be a challenge, but Jade takes the time to understand each of them individually and listens closely to their cues. A massive plus is her training background—she actively works on correcting behaviors and keeping them consistent with their daily routines. She is incredibly thorough, always ensuring all their needs are met before she leaves. We feel completely at ease knowing they are in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!
I hired Sharin because I'm recovering from surgery, and like me Ollie had cabin fever and needed to get out, yet I was in no condition to be walking. Sharin arrived on time and I had Ollie ready to go in his harness. He was really excited to meet her and she was so sweet to him. He's a dachshund so he can bark quite a bit, but he seemed to be relaxed when they left, which made me feel at ease. After the walk, Ollie watched her leave. I definitely would want Sharin to walk Ollie when needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newcastle on Rover is $22.47 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,502 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Newcastle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Newcastle. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Newcastle.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newcastle. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
