“My two doggies received wonderful love and care from Alex. She was very communicative and provided a lot of pictures and videos. Doggies were super happy and had lots of exercise. She also got my picky dogs to eat healthy food, which I have been personally struggling with. I absolutely would recommend Alex for dog boarding and care.”

“Rosalind was amazing with dog sitting my Shiba inu. He is a very high energy dog and she was able to make him feel right at home. Pictures were always provided and she'd frequently take him on dog walks. I believe he enjoyed his stay and would certainly book another boarding with Rosalind in the future, very appreciative of her help and service with caring for my dog for several weeks.”

“My senior dog has major separation anxiety. He usually does not have his kibble while he is away from home, so I was pleasantly surprised to know that Dale ate his kibble during his stay with Eldon.”

“Iksy takes such wonderful, personal care of Chester! Chester is very sensitive to his surroundings, so seeing him come home happy and full of energy means a lot to me. I love the daily photo updates, and Iksy always follows my care instructions closely. From his safe, welcoming home to outings and picnics, Chester gets to have his own little vacation!”

“It was great working with you!! Always quick to response and was willing to work with me on drop off and pick up times. And Maggie seemed happy!! Definitely would recommend!!”

“Jennifer took really good care of Kobe and Mason while i was away in Hawaii. I didn't have to worry about my dogs, they were in good hands. I would definitely bring my dogs back to her agian for future trips”


“Lilly had a great time with Milana! Lilly got lots of attention, hugs, walks in the park, and play time. Milana sent lots of adorable photos. I will definitely book Milana next time I need a sitter for Lilly!!”

“Beth was a God send!! We had an unusual request requiring a super early morning drop off at the airport and she kindly did everything we needed her to without hesitation. Additionally, she took wonderful care of our dog Hana who was given plenty of attention and exercise. I got several updates throughout the day which put my worries at ease. I would highly recommend Beth for your dog sitting needs! Thanks and blessings to you Beth!!”
“This was the second time we have used Laura's services through Rover and we couldn't be happier. She kept us up to date with photos of our dog during our time away which is a comfort. I highly recommend Laura for any Rover dog sitting you might need.”


“Thanks so much! I needed a dog sitter for two days on short notice and Emely came through. Good communication and my pup was happy tired when I picked her up. Would book with her again.”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always felt very natural to me. I currently have two Golden Retrievers who are temporarily staying with my brother in another state. Over the years, I’ve cared for small, and medium dogs, taking care of their walks, feeding, baths, playtime, and companionship. I also have experience with basic medication administration and am always happy to follow each pet parent’s specific instructions. I’m a very loving, patient, and attentive person when it comes to animals. One thing that really sets me apart is how quickly I connect with pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. To me, pet sitting is more than just feeding a pet and taking them for a walk. It’s about making them feel safe, happy, and at home while their family is away. I work from home using my phone, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate most of my day to caring for pets. I’m available 7 days a week and usually only have a commitment of about three hours between 7:00 and 10:00 AM. Outside of that time, I have plenty of flexibility to adjust to each pet’s needs and routine. I’m available for walks, playtime, companionship, and daytime care. I also enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities, always adjusting them to each pet’s age, energy level, and individual needs I live in a spacious and comfortable townhouse in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood. While I don’t have a private yard, my community has a large pet area and plenty of walking paths where pets can safely get outside and enjoy some fresh air. I currently don’t have any pets living at home, since my two Golden Retrievers are temporarily staying with my brother in another state. I also don’t have children at home, and my two roommates are completely pet-friendly. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their routine, personality, habits, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, schedules, and any other specific needs. I’m also happy to send photos and updates as often as you’d like. My goal for you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they’re in my care

“Marina's family is the absolute best. A very loving family and took great care of my dog for a week. She gave updates every day with cute pictures. She made home made biscuit treats for him. Absolutely wonderful, thank you so much!”

“Aharon took great care of our golden doodle Ollie and sent plenty of photo updates which is HUGELY appreciated! Definitely will be rebooking with Aharon whenever we are out of town next! 5 stars all around!”


“Shari is awesome! She took great care of my dog for 4 days while I was out on vacation. We could enjoy our vacation knowing that he was having a good time with her. She treated him like her own and he enjoyed the company of her three little ones. She is very thorough with her preparation for the dog's trip and her place is a great hangout for dogs. I recommend Shari to those looking for a sitter. ”


“We had such a wonderful experience! Audrey was incredibly caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. She and her family treated our dogs like their own, taking them on lots of fun outings, brushing their fur, and even trimming their nails. Our dogs absolutely adored her whole family and seemed like they didn’t even want to come home! It was so heartwarming to see how happy and loved they were throughout their stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”


“Jeff provided a great experience for our dog with some separation anxiety. He made sure our dog felt comfortably as soon as we got there and got him outside and moving. He was a happy dog when we picked him up.”

“Ya-Han is an excellent caregiver and consummate professional. Her attention to detail is obvious with daily logs (with times and details for feedings, walks, activities, etc), ample pictures, and an occasional video. I'm a fairly laid-back dog owner and didn't ask for anything special in terms of communication, so that level of diligence is baked-in. Very impressive. Would gladly board with again.”

“Our dog had a great time during his stay with Miriam. She sent pics every day. Our fur baby also enjoyed hanging out with his new friend Betty (Miriam’s dog)! He was all puckered out when we picked him up. We will definitely reach out to Miriam in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Joe and Sarah are amazing! They took such good care of my pup for the week I was away. They are very responsive to my messages and frequently sent me photos of Oakley’s adventures. I have some trips planned for later this year and I will definitely be going back to Joe and Sarah. My dog sitter search is done. Thank you Joe and Sarah!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
Lena is delightful. She takes excellent care of my two Havanese and sends me the cutest little pictures each day of their walks or play around her house. She takes extra effort to care for my 13 year-old male Havanese, who is struggling with congestive heart failure. When I leave town, I never worry about my puppies because I know they’re being taken care by Lena, who is loving, compassionate, and skilled at taking care of all of my dogs needs.

Simba had a great time with Jiwon and her partner! They were super communicative and sent us lots of updates and photos of Simba every day. He looked so comfy and spoiled the whole time, and even made friends with one of their stuffed toys that they kindly let him play with. It was really nice knowing he was in such good hands, and we’d definitely book with Jiwon again!

This was our first time needing to leave our dog with someone other than a family member and Alexis made it so comforting, stress free, and easy! We know Tulip loved playing with her pups and was taken great care of! She got the best of all worlds with this set up- fun play time with very well behaved and friendly dogs, outdoor time in a big fenced yard, and human connection being the only pet she takes on at a time. We will definitely be back!

We had such a wonderful experience! Audrey was incredibly caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. She and her family treated our dogs like their own, taking them on lots of fun outings, brushing their fur, and even trimming their nails.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!

This was my first time using a dog sitter, so finding someone trustworthy who truly loves dogs was really important to me. Ivy and Dan took wonderful care of my mini Aussie! They sent plenty of photos every day, and I could tell how much they love dogs. My dog also had a great time playing with Freddie. I’ll definitely book with them again!

This is the second time Piper has stayed with Andrew and Cassandra and she absolutely loved it once again. Piper was so happy she hardly wanted to come home! We got many great Piper photos and videos at the park, in the water, running in the backyard, and snoozing on the couch. We hope to see them again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Newcastle is $45 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $84 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 6,006 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newcastle. About 91% of Newcastle sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
