“Heather did an amazing job! She made us feel comfortable with leaving our kitties in her care. Her follow up notes and pictures reassured us we left our cats in good hands. Thank you, Heather!”
“She was absolutely wonderful with Hagrid! He’s only 8 weeks old, and she was so sweet, patient, and attentive with him. She sent me lots of photos and videos throughout the visit, which made me feel so comfortable while I was at work. She played with him, fed him, took him out for potty breaks, and even noticed when he was about to have an accident and quickly took him to his potty area. 🥰 Hagrid seemed so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, growing up with pets and continuously having dogs in my home. Having raised and cared for dogs through every stage of life, I treat every guest pet with the exact same unconditional love, safety, and attention I give my own. Working part-time gives me a highly flexible schedule with plenty of dedicated, open blocks throughout the day for pet care. I can easily accommodate consistent feeding times, mid-day walks, playtime, and evening care. Because my work hours are manageable and predictable, your pet receives frequent individual attention, timely potty breaks, and structured daily routines without long gaps in care. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their routine consistent, comfortable, and stress-free. I adhere strictly to your instructions for feeding, fresh water, exercise, and any special care or medications. I ensure your home stays clean, secure, and respected, providing full attention, affection, and active engagement during every visit. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every visit or stay so you know your pet and home are in great hands.
“This was my first time using Rover and Vanessa made the experience great! She answered all my questions, responded quickly, and set up arrangements for the drop in’s. My dog Luna is cautious when it comes to new people but took to Vanessa quickly and my cat Kona came during the drop in’s. When we got back home, everything was how we left it and she even brought a package inside that was delivered while we were away :)”
About: Hi! I’m Yuna! 🐾💕 I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like part of the family. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through boarding and dog walking. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m especially patient with shy, nervous, or anxious pets and give them plenty of time to adjust at their own pace. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, and medications. Every pet is different, so I always adjust my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. 💕 🎓 Flexible Schedule I’m a UW student with a flexible class schedule, so I’m home most of the time. Pet care is a big part of my day, with plenty of time for meals, potty breaks, play, and loving attention. 📸 Little Updates, Lots of Love I love sharing photos, videos, and little updates about your pet’s day so you can feel connected while you’re away! 🏡 I welcome up to three guest pets at a time for boarding and daycare, with a large, fully fenced yard for supervised play and cozy spaces to rest. 🐶🐱 I have a friendly dog and cat, and my dog loves making new friends! I introduce pets gradually and follow your care instructions to help your pet feel safe and at home.
“Kseniia watched our three kitties while we were out of town for a couple of days, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care! She did a great job communicating with us each day, letting us know when she would be arriving and sending us photos and updates. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our kitties were well taken care of and having a great time with her. We also really appreciated that she lived close by, which gave us extra reassurance in case of any unexpected emergencies or if she was needed quickly. We’re grateful to Kseniia for taking such great care of our precious kitties while we were away. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Malia provided our two kitties with tons of love and playtime while we were on vacation, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly! It was a huge relief getting several pictures each time she visited for breakfast and dinner, seeing how well they were doing. I would happily trust her to take the best care of them in future!”
“So grateful for the amazing care Jackie took of our 8 month old Labrador Retriever! Our pup was happy and tired when we came home after a day trip. Thank you, Jackie!!!”
“Katelyn was great! She came last minute on a holiday weekend and took excellent care of my senior lady. She followed all of the care instructions to the letter and provided plenty of updates, was on time, and even managed to coax my shy kitty out for some treats and pets. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Hailee did a great job, our pets were very well cared for, she has great communication skills and followed instructions really well. Our pets got alot of affection and play time, they were very happy and healthy when we came home. Thank you!!”
“Scarlett did an amazing job taking care of our old lady Jelly. She followed directions thoroughly, gave her medicine on time and made sure Jelly didn't get lonely while we were gone. She's super nice, communicative and pays attention to the animal's needs. I highly recommend Scarlett (Wanqing) for your pets needs when you need to be away. Will definitely use her again for any upcoming trips!”
“Xiaoxiao was fantastic! She was incredibly attentive and responsible with the drop-in visits. Her communication was excellent—she was proactive in keeping me updated and always replied quickly. She was so friendly to my cats, and I could tell that our cats really liked her too. I highly recommend her!”
“First time leaving my senior dog alone for a week. We decided to try a sitter on Rover, and we are happy with our dog and with the care that Jessie V. put into caring for Sammi, and for the house. At 15 years old, Sammi has messes, and I am grateful for Jessie's care in caring for Sammi, and for the condition of the carpet and floors. When we saw Sammi after being away for a week, he seemed happy, well-fed, and the room smelled clean. Thanks, Jessie!”
“Grace is fantastic, they were timely and very sweet to the dogs. She even pick up the stuffing from the toy one of the dogs had pulled out. We will absolutely work with Grace again.”
“Entrusting someone to care for our pets takes a lot of courage and trust, especially if your pet has a particular set of needs and structure. After reading through A LOT of sitter profiles, Marcea stood out the most to us as someone we felt could be a good fit. Our 9yrs old bloodhound had a rough start in life, and came to me at 2yrs old as an anxious, leash-aggressive, separation anxiety, osteo-arthritic, quirky dog. Through behavioral training and medication management, his life is more calm and stable, but he requires structure, routine, and calm patient love and understanding. After a combining households move that put our dog hanging at home alone 3 days a week, I knew we needed to hire someone for drop-in visits. Enter Marcea. Our slow-to-trust anxious boy took to Marcea instantly! She is so kind and calm and loving with him, he looks so much happier after work on scheduled drop-ins. And when the trash can got left in the kitchen and our dog, true to his bloodhound nature, needed to investigate and eat the fine trash can delicacies, Marcea instantly sprung into action. She contacted us immediately out of concern for our pup and his safety, and luckily there wasn’t anything in the garbage that was life threatening, but what a relief she was there (and she cleaned up the mess without any complaint or chastising). If you, like me, have a pup with quirks and anxiety and leaving them alone or with a new person makes you nervous and alters your lifestyle, do yourself a favor and hire Marcea. She is a calming balm for both pets and pet parents.”
“Lindsay did a fantastic job caring for our cat while we were out of town! She was a wonderful communicator, sent lots of photos and updates, and our cat warmed up to her right away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. We would absolutely recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Tiffany was great! My elderly cat isn't always friendly and Tiffany was super patient and kind with my girl. She took her time with Nala and sent me pictures and updates on her visit.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Newcastle is $25

Nicole took great care of my cat for drop in visits while I away for 2 weeks. She was attentive, quick to communicate, and thorough. There were some unexpected house-related issues that came up and Nicole even went the extra step to make sure my cat was safe. Thank you Nicole!
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.
Malia provided our two kitties with tons of love and playtime while we were on vacation, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly! It was a huge relief getting several pictures each time she visited for breakfast and dinner, seeing how well they were doing. I would happily trust her to take the best care of them in future!
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.
My cat, Danny, warms up to very few people and now Lillian is one of them! She is very communicative, reliable, and caring. She was great with following the complicated feeding instructions as well as the medication schedule. I will happily have her look after Danny again!
Heather is the best. Heather quickly communicated health issues with my cat and was able to administer new medicine to her no problem (better than me!). Having someone like Heather take care of Mikan gave me so much ease and reassurance while I was away from home . 100% recommend.
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.
We had a wonderful experience with Sage. Very communicative and caring, with extra time spent with our cat when she wasn’t behaving well. Sage also cleaned up after her, which we really appreciated. We felt our cat was in great hands and would definitely recommend Sage!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newcastle on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,892 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newcastle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newcastle stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newcastle. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 pet, 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.
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.
