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.
“Absolutely fabulous! Heather kept us updated on how our kitties were doing, and she sent lots of pictures. Our two cats seemed happy and content when we came home. Heather was also great to communicate with. All around a great experience. We will definitely try to have her look after our cats again next time we are out of town!”
“We enjoyed having Teresa take care of our two kitties…we found them happy and well fed when we returned home. Thank you for taking such good care of our kitties.”
“Alice was very communicative while watching my two cats over a long weekend. When she came for the initial meet and greet both cats and my dog immediately took a liking to her. Definitely plan on booking Alice again in the future!”
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 our first time using the Rover.com service, and first time working with Jackie, and we could not be more pleased and grateful. Jackie is thoughtful, easy to work with, and very responsive. Plus, she sent us a daily message with photos of our cat while we were traveling, which made the days and distance melt away. We plan on getting in touch with Jackie again the next time we travel.”
About: I have taken care of pets, including my own, since I was 8 years old. From big to small, dogs to cats, young and old, and many breeds I have a passion for taking care of animals! I am very reliable and have excellent communication. You will always find your pet happier than you left them! I am currently on summer break so have all the time in the world for your pet! I am free most days and most hours so have a very flexible schedule. Say the word and I will be there for your pet! I have 2 dogs and have taken care of many of my family and friends. I make sure to clean up after them, feed them on schedule, walk them, play with them, and keep up with grooming and hygiene! I will always make sure your pet is safe and gets the attention they need.
About: I’ve had a dog of my own and regularly help care for my neighbors’ dogs as well, giving me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older senior dogs. I’m a college student with an internship, which usually leaves me fully free on Sundays and Mondays (though this can vary week to week). On workdays, I’m available early mornings and in the evenings into the night. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect in every home I visit. I follow any instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure your home is treated with care. I’m also open to dog sitting in my own home depending on the pet’s needs and compatibility.

“Chin Ken has been amazing and kind with communication and providing exceptional care to my two kitties while I’ve been out of town! My kitties are shy and nervous around new people but he has given them gentle care and made sure the water and food bowls were refilled and refreshed! He even refilled and cleaned the litter box and swept the floor when there was litter tracked around from their paws! He takes pictures of them and gives me the confidence they are well cared for when I’ve been out of town from a few days to two weeks! I highly recommended him and this is the second time I’ve reached out to him for his incredible care of my cats! :)”
“Chase is so great I don’t even know what to say! She’s great with my dog, and with me in all communication. She always takes amazing photos, keeps me informed and makes me feel ok about leaving my dog when I go to work because I know she loves to hang out with Chase.”
“Words cannot fully express how grateful I am to Jiru for the incredible care she gave to my cat, Doya, while I was away. Leaving Doya for over two weeks was a huge emotional challenge for me, cause she has never before being apart for such a long time. But Jiru’s unwavering dedication and loving attention gave me peace of mind every single day! I asked her to check in on Doya every two days, and she made it with such care, ensuring her food and water were just right, keeping an eye on her litter box, and most importantly, monitoring Doya’s mood and well-being. It was clear that Jiru treated Doya like her own, and her gentle, compassionate presence helped my cat stay calm, healthy, and comforted throughout my absence. I am so deeply thankful to Jiru for her kindness and for making this difficult time so much easier on both of us. Thanks to her, I returned to find my beloved Doya happy and safe, and that means more to me than words can express.”
“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!”
“Our two cats really liked Agata! She played with them every day, fed them and cleaned up their accidents while we were on vacation and took very good care of them. Agata was also very communicative and fast to respond.”
About: I have about 10 years of experience of pet care, as well as 15+ years of farm sitting. I own two cats of my own and also have experience administering prescription foods. Pet care is a life style. Through my own experience owning pets, I know the effort and commitment it takes. House sitting will be limited to specific availability depending on my own commitments. For my offered services, my goal is to not disrupt the already established flow. I plan to learn and adapt to the care and safety guidelines of each house.
“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!”
“Martina went above and beyond to take care of my dog while I was out of town for work. This included belly rubs, snuggles, play time, and walks. It really felt that Martina treated him as if he was her own. She stuck to the agreed schedule and made sure he was happy. If another opportunity presents itself, I will be reaching back out.”

We had a really great experience with Kseniia taking care of our cats. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept the litter boxes clean, refreshed food and water, and took wonderful care of our cats. One of our cats is usually very selective about people, but he came out to her and even enjoyed being petted and played with, which says a lot. She even offered to clean up the mess the cats had made, even though we hadn’t asked. We were able to enjoy our vacation with complete peace of mind, knowing our cats were in caring and reliable hands. Highly recommend!
Jade puts a lot of work to learn our schedule and routines for Rex and is very attentive to all the details about him. The notes left were very detailed, which we appreciate, and they gave us more insight on the interactions Rex has when we’re not around. We appreciate all the questions Jade asks and the notes she took in our initial meeting so she really has down everything we do for our puppy :)
Zheru is a gem! She accepted our last minute booking after another sitter was injured and was very professional and took thorough notes at our meet and greet. She was flexible to come twice a day and was very understanding of my helicopter parenting. She sent a ton of pictures so we knew what was going on while we were away and also sent us notes and was there the full time she said she would be. She set the bar so high, it got us wondering what our past sitters were doing at their visits and how long they were actually at the house. Our cat is super shy and he didn’t come out much, but Zheru was completely understanding of his personality. Thank you Zheru!
Xiaoxiao was wonderful!! She was very caring and communicative, and took amazing care of my cat. She gave lots of love to my cat, and sent many cute pictures and videos. My cat definitely likes her a lot. Would highly recommend and hope to have her help again in the future!
Morgan is awesome, she took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. I appreciated the photos, and that Willie was willing to come out and pose for them. He’s usually shy with people he doesn’t know, but warmed up to Morgan no problem! I had peace of mind that he was well cared for. Thank you Morgan!! 🙏💕
Nicole took great care of our cat, Olive, over the busy July 4th holiday weekend. She completed drop-in visits while we were away, and we really appreciated the updates and photos she sent. Since it was a holiday weekend, things get busy with traffic and such. Nicole communicated with us promptly when there was a delay in the check in time, which we appreciated and helped put our minds at ease. Olive was well cared for, and we came home to a happy kitty. We’d be happy to have Nicole watch Olive again!
Sanuthi is incredible and very reliable. We have two finicky 12 year old cats and any changes stress out Simba. She was very patient, willing to meet him within his comfort level. She kept in contact through the visits, letting me know of any issues she was seeing, willing to change the plan on the fly. Kitties were in good hands and I am so very grateful for Sanuthi!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newcastle on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 12,967 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:
- 91% 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.
