“Yuna is very professional and a great dog walker with my yorkie Toby! She walks him daily while I’m at work. She is on time and always keeps her schedule up to date and accurate. Thanks Yuna!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on clear communication and regular updates, including photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, and to give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home full time so I will be able to accommodate most schedules during the week. My weekends are usually open and free so that means more time to dedicate to your pet's care. I will make sure the proper care and attention is given at any point of the day! I have more than enough space in my apartment to accommodate most animals. My apartment complex is very safe, quiet and clean with adequate space to provide walks if needed. For cat owners, I do have a resident cat that will be in the same house. I will make sure proper separation is guaranteed if you decide to have your kitty cat stay with me!
“Jennifer has been amazing! She walks my baby with patience and enthusiasm. She leaves detailed messages and pictures after each walk. Her years of experience are reassuring as well.”
About: Pets have been my life ever since I was five years old. I wasn't a caretaker at that age, but I've fostered a close connection and understanding towards pets ever since. As I got older, my responsibilities grew in kind, and I became much more involved in the day-to-day care of dogs and cats. I've been fortunate to be a part of six dogs lives, and each have brought different temperaments, attitudes, and energy levels. Four of the six were rescues, so I understand the patience and attentiveness needed to properly address their needs and quirks. I also helped raise a 10 week old puppy into adulthood, so I am very familiar with what it takes to handle the stubbornness and energy of a young pup. While it's been some time since my cat has passed away, I likewise share a similar understanding to their needs and socialization. It requires a different approach than a dog but I am happy to adapt to the pet at hand and ensure they receive the best care possible. I have returned from a term of service abroad in the Peace Corps, and am currently searching for employment as I settle back in the states. I will be living in Washington for the time being before I set off to grad school. As such, my schedule is fairly open for dog walking and check-ins. Some of my fondest memories abroad was walking around the countryside in my spare time, so I'm excited to continue that here with some new friends! I will ensure that the pets' needs are addressed in full with the client before I take on the service, and adhere to the directions advised. I cannot currently board pets at my home, but I am happy to check in on pets whilst abiding by the rules of my client's homes.
About: bring a blend of seasoned multi-pet expertise and pure, genuine love to every pet I care for. What truly sets me apart is my real-world experience as a parent of three cats. Managing a multi-pet home has taught me how to read animal behavior like a pro, handle various personalities, and maintain a calm, structured environment. I’m proud to be the trusted, first-choice pet sitter for all my friends with both cats and dogs—they know their babies are in the safest, most dedicated hands possible. Why pet parents choose me: Expert Cat Care: From spotless litter maintenance to interactive playtime and grooming, I understand feline psychology inside and out. Attentive Dog Routines: I love keeping dogs active and happy, providing up to 3 structured walks a day tailored to their energy levels. Bedside Nighttime Comfort: To minimize separation anxiety, I love letting pets sleep next to my bed so they feel secure throughout the night. Reliability: I am strictly disciplined with mealtimes, hydration, and safety protocols. I know how stressful it is to leave your beloved pet behind. My goal is to make your time away completely worry-free by treating your furry baby like royalty! My weekends are completely dedicated to giving your pets the highest quality care and companionship! Because I work during the week, my weekends are entirely free and clear, meaning my schedule revolves 100% around your fur baby. I don't have the rush of a weekday routine, so I can offer your pet my undivided attention, long walks, and endless love. How your pet fits into my weekend: Friday Evening – Sunday Night: I am fully available for weekend boarding, daycare, or house sitting. Flexible, Tailored Routines: Since I am entirely open on Saturdays and Sundays, I can stick perfectly to your pet’s exact weekday routine—whether that means feeding them at the crack of dawn or sticking to a strict medication schedule. Adventure & Exercise: Weekend time means your dogs get plenty of outdoor action, including up to 3 long, leisurely walks a day to burn off energy, and your cats get plenty of interactive playtime and grooming. Constant Companionship: I spend most of my weekends at home or doing pet-friendly activities, so your furry friend will rarely be left alone and will always have me around for nighttime bedside comfort. If you have a weekend getaway or an event planned, you can relax completely knowing your pet is having a fun, safe, and loving weekend staycation with me My home is clean, spacious, and totally pet-proofed (a natural perk of having 3 cats). When walking dogs, they are always securely on-leash. I follow your exact feeding and care instructions to the letter, and I'll send you plenty of photos just so you can see how happy they are. I treat your home and your pet with absolute respect and safety.
“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: 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.
About: I have grown up with pets all of my life! Currently I have 3 dogs; 2 yorkies and a frenchie. I have also had a couple of boxers in the past. I adore cats and all animals in general. I’m so excited to be able to love and care for your animals:) I am a barista part-time and have a flexible schedule! I am off of school this summer so I have even more free time ;) My yard is fenced in and dog proof as I have dogs at my house already. I would be interested in finding my frenchie a play friend!
About: Speciality is cats! I have two sweet cats of my own. I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs growing up. I’m open to walk, feed, play and bathe your animals! I’m also available at short notice! I’m currently a full time college student is looking for some extra cash. As it’s summer, I’m available at all or most hours! Love to answer any questions. I have a balcony that is free to roam. If your cats love to be outside like my cats but still be within reach, it’s perfect!
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
Jade has been an exceptional dog walker for us with our lab/pointer girl Echo. She is timely, responsible and reliable, and has excellent communication. But more than anything, she has really shown so much love for our girl. She lets her sniff and explore while also supporting loose leash walking. Echo was in such good hands with Jade.
Vanessa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Olive. Olive was content and enjoyed her daily walks. On the one day that Olive’s behavior was different Vanessa let me and our contact know. Vanessa is reliable and gentle. She can be trusted in your home and with your pet. We will be happy to have Vanessa come in the future.
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!

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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
