“Thank you Cheryl for taking such good care of Molly and also crating her, as requested. She had the best day playing with your pup and also being loved on. Epic levels of photos and updates throughout the day which was above and beyond!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or administering medications, I always prioritize your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being. I've cared for breeds of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs. With a calm demeanor and a love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable while you're away. I'm currently work from home so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I'm available to walk your dog and accompany with them during daytime. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to have your fur baby company. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment, supervise all activities, follow specific care instructions, and ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable.
“Candice and her two dogs took great care of Penelope while I was a work. She came home exhausted and looked like she had a lot of fun and had some great socialization!”
“Ani and Pallavi have been such a blessing! My puppy is a 4 month old bernedoodle with lots of energy and teething. Ani and Pallavi have welcomed my puppy, Charlie, into their home & have been so so wonderful. Charlie loves going to Ani and Pallavi’s home, and I’m so thankful that Charlie has a loving place to go while I’m at work. They are communicative and send pictures throughout the day! I fully trust that my puppy is taken care of when I drop him off. I am so grateful to have someone so willing to help take care of my puppy while I’m at work! I will for sure be continuing to use Ani and Pallavi!”
“There’s puppy sitter’s then there is Alexandria. I was nervous for my first booking on Rover, but Alexandria was above outstanding! I’m reluctant to leave this review because I don’t want her to get booked out too much for us.”
“Our Dog Loki, who is very shy, took a liking to Elan very quickly. He loved being dropped off at her home for daycare. What better sign of approval do you need than that?!”
About: Hi, I’m Min! I’m an animal lover who has taken care of dogs for over 8 years. I believe every dog deserves a loving, safe environment, and I’m excited to offer that to your furry friend while you're away! Whether it’s a short visit or an overnight stay, I will make sure your dog feels comfortable, secure, and loved. I treat all dogs like family. I understand that each dog has unique needs and I’m here to make sure your pup feels right at home. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to provide a detailed report of your dog’s day, so you can rest easy knowing they’re well taken care of. I’m working from home most of time to give your dog all the attention and care. I can accommodate last-minute bookings! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I’m working from home most of time to give your dog all the attention and care. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to provide a detailed report of your dog’s day, so you can rest easy knowing they’re well taken care of. I take great pride in creating a safe and loving environment for every pet in my care. Here’s how I ensure they feel right at home: Safety First: I make sure my home is pet-proofed, with all potential hazards (like chemicals, sharp objects, and choking hazards) out of reach. The yard is securely fenced so your pet can enjoy outdoor time without worrying about escape. Routine and Comfort: I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific care instructions you may have, such as dietary needs or medication schedules. Plenty of Play and Exercise: I love staying active with pets, whether it’s going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in fun games inside. I tailor activities to suit your pet’s energy level and preferences. Cuddles and Attention: I make sure your pet feels loved and cared for. Whether it's snuggling on the couch or just sitting beside them, I provide lots of attention and affection to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Clean and Cozy Environment: Your pet will always have a clean and comfortable space to relax. I make sure bedding is fresh, and I keep the environment tidy to ensure they have a peaceful place to rest. Regular Updates: While you’re away, I’ll send you updates, including pictures and messages, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands. I strive to provide a home-like atmosphere where pets feel safe, loved, and happy, just like they would with their own family.
About: I grew up taking care of my Lhasa Apso. I used to dog sit for my employer who had a minature Shih Tzu. I would take her everywhere with me. I had a Dachshund in my 30’s. I recently was a dog sitter for a friend who has a Terrier. Dogs make me happy. I was thinking of adopting one but decided to join Rover for now. I currently work from home remote, so I have tons of flexibility to take care of a dog. I would take them outside for many walks during the day. I live in an apt with a balcony, so the dog would have free range. I would take them for walks in my area where there is a ton of grassy areas & a walking path. I’m also near parks.
“We had such a great experience with Wanqing. Simba came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a fun day. The updates and photos throughout the day were super reassuring, and it was clear that Simba was in good hands. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the warm environment. We’ll definitely be booking again—highly recommend!”
About: Constant Companionship & Peace of Mind As a full-time remote professional (WFH), your pet will never feel lonely at my home. I am here 24/7 to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and, most importantly, all the cuddles they deserve. Unlike sitters who work out of the home, I can adapt my schedule entirely to your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel safe and settled. Expertise in Specialized Care What truly sets me apart is my experience with high-need pets. I personally raised one of my resident cats from just 2 weeks old—a journey that required immense patience, around-the-clock bottle feeding, and meticulous care. This experience has made me exceptionally attentive to subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, making me a great fit for puppies, seniors, or pets who need a little extra TLC. Lifelong Small Breed Lover Before becoming a cat mom to my two sweet residents, I grew up with a Teddy Dog and a Yorkshire Terrier. I understand the spirited personalities and specific safety needs of small breeds. Living in a cozy townhouse, I specialize in creating a calm, indoor sanctuary supplemented by quality morning and evening walks to keep them active and happy. A Natural Connection I’ve been called an "animal magnet" since I was a child. I believe in patient, positive reinforcement and respect each pet's unique boundaries. Your furry family member will be treated exactly like my own—with unconditional love and professional responsibility. Full-Time Care & Attention As a dedicated pet parent to two cats, my life already revolves around animal care. My WFH status allows me to offer constant supervision and a flexible schedule tailored to your pet's needs. Since I live in a townhouse without a yard, I prioritize quality outdoor time with dedicated morning and evening walks. During the work day, your pet will enjoy a calm, climate-controlled environment with me right by their side. Whether they need a quick play session between my meetings or a quiet spot to nap, I am here to ensure they are happy and comfortable 24/7. Every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. My first priority is to mirror the routine they are used to at home to minimize stress. Whether it’s a specific feeding time, a favorite toy, or a particular way they like to be scratched, I follow your instructions to the letter. When Staying in My Home (Boarding/Daycare): Constant Supervision: Since I work from home, your pet will be in the same room as me most of the day. They will have full access to a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. Safety & Integration: With two resident cats, I am an expert at slow, safe introductions. If your pet prefers their own space, my townhouse allows for easy separation to ensure everyone feels secure and relaxed. Active Outdoors: Since I don't have a yard, I prioritize quality time outside. We will go on at least two dedicated walks (morning and evening) and frequent quick potty breaks to keep them stimulated and happy. Cat-Specific Care: For cat guests, I provide meticulous litter box maintenance and plenty of interactive play with wand toys and feathers. When Visiting Your Home (Drop-ins/House Sitting): Home Security & Tidiness: I treat your home with the utmost respect. I ensure all doors are locked, mail is brought in if needed, and the space remains exactly as you left it. Quality One-on-One Time: I don’t just "fill the bowl." I spend the entire duration of the visit engaging with your pet, providing companionship, and making sure they feel loved while you're away. Detailed Updates: I am a big communicator! You can expect frequent photo and video updates of our adventures, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.
“Leroy was great! He sent me pictures of my pup, Ruka throughout the day and food/potty updates. He was extremely responsive and flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. Ruka was very excited to see him every morning. I would definitely have Leroy watch Ruka again.”
About: I’ve taken care of our rescued toy poodle for the last six years. I also help friends and neighbors to take care of their dogs often, and they return excitedly every time. My two teenagers love dogs, and love to play with and take care of them too. We are only taking hypoallergenic dogs for day care and boarding. Expect lots of walks, potty breaks and play sessions, all in a safe and loving environment. Your dog’s happiness is my ultimate goal! Morning walk is around 7-8am. Mid day walk around 12-1pm. Evening walk around 6-7pm. We also take shorter walks or backyard potty break in between and before bedtime. I live in a quiet neighborhood with trails and dog parks nearby for your dog to explore and have fun in. Your dog is welcome on my furniture, in my backyard, and in an open carpeted area to play in.
About: I've taken care of medium dogs belonging to friends and family 😊 I've brushed, walked, fed, played, and cuddled with many different dogs, so I've got you covered! I'm currently working part time and am a part-time college student, so I have a lot of time to put into pet care :) I love going on adventures in my free time, whether it is to new parks or hikes! I have a very large fenced in yard and pickleball/basketball court, so your pup will have lots of room to run! I'm also located very close to multiple parks/dog parks (downtown bellevue park, newcastle beach park, robinswood dog park, etc.!) and my neighborhood also has a large grass field perfect for playing fetch. My home is also spacious and equipped with AC to keep your dog cool in the heat.
“This was Tater’s first time with Akiko. She was so great to work with! Tater is exhausted right now, so I know he was well taken care of. I appreciated the feedback I received during his visit! Thank you Akiko!”
“So glad to have found Quinten after our former Rover caretaker moved overseas. He clearly loves dogs and it shows in his gentleness and patience towards them. Like many of her kind, our French Bulldog can have bursts of high energy. Some Rover caretakers who are less experienced can be overwhelmed with her quirks, but Quinten was not only unfazed but seems to appreciate each dog’s unique personality. He sent plenty of videos and pictures during a short day care. We look forward to our next stay with him.”
“Shadow always has such a fun time with Ya-Han and her family! She takes excellent care of him and gives detailed updates and notes about their activities, which I love ❤️”
“Todd is awesome! He’s very detail oriented and listened to all of our tidbits about Ziggy before caring for him. He kept him active all day and spoiled him with the dog park, walks, and treats!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
We left Coby in excellent care! Candace completely put us at ease about leaving him in a new environment with new dogs. We really appreciated her regular check-ins and attentiveness to his needs. He clearly had a great time...he came home completely wiped out!
My dog Butter had a great time at daycare with Rachel. She was very attentive to Butter and sent me lots of updates throughout the day. Her dog Tracy is very sweet and was a great playmate for Butter. Butter came home so happy and tired out from such a fun day! I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone.
Magdalena and Suresh (hope I spelled it right!) were incredible hosts for our two Dobermans. She was very thoughtful in our meet and greet on getting her dogs introduced and I could tell she wanted to make sure all 4 were going to get along. She sent great pics throughout the stay and I could tell our dogs got spoiled! Would love to have her watch the dogs again in the future!
Pauline was fantastic taking care of our one year old golden retriever for doggy daycare. She made sure lemon felt right at home, took her on several walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. We knew she was in great hands and would absolutely book again. Thanks, Pauline!
Keya watched my Malinois, Ember, today while I was busy in Seattle. She was polite, professional, and excellent with communication. Most importantly, I felt like my dog was well taken care of and safe. She hardly wanted to leave Keya when it was time to go. I highly recommend Keya, and hope to use her services in the future.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Newcastle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Newcastle on Rover is $48.15 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,139 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Newcastle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Newcastle commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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. 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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,139 sitters in Newcastle, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
