“Alice is great! She came by to meet my pup (Bailey) in advance, asked lots of questions to get to know Bailey’s needs, was on time for all visits, and sent photos/detailed updates every time. I trust her in my home and with Bailey - will be booking with her again for future sitting needs. Thanks again, Alice!”
“Vanessa took great care of our cat for 4 days of drop in visits. She was reliable, flexible and even threw a few flakes out for our fish. The pictures she sent each day made it apparent that our cat was in good hands and behaving in her normal pattern. Vanessa also took great care in managing the security of our house. Thank you Vanessa!”
“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.”
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog. I do also have experience with bite work when it comes to protection line and high energy breeds. I do require dogs to have some sort of foot wear for hot days Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life! I currently have four cats of my own and have also owned dogs, so I'm comfortable caring for both. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I'll treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I enjoy getting outside and going for walks, so I'm happy to help your dog get some exercise, whether they prefer a leisurely walk with lots of sniffing or something a little more energetic. I'm also very familiar with different cat personalities and understand that some want all the attention while others prefer their space. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine and make sure they're comfortable while you're away. I work full-time during the week, but I'm available for early morning and evening walks and drop-in visits, with more flexibility on weekends and holidays. I'm also happy to provide overnight house sitting on weekends and holidays when my schedule allows. I may occasionally be available for weekday visits depending on the time and location, so feel free to reach out! I'm always happy to see what I can accommodate. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll always follow your pet's normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just making sure they get plenty of attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I'll take the time to make sure they're comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.
“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 always had a big heart for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. With plenty of free time, i’d love to dedicate it to walking, playing, and caring for dogs as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for Huskies, Poodles, and German Shepherds, so I’m comfortable with both energetic breeds and gentle companions. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to play to spend with your companions. My preferred hours are between noon-8pm but can certainly be flexible. I cannot host at this time; however, I am happy to bring your pets over for a little rest bream as needed. Home has a yard and fenced property
“Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“I had Lindsay take care of my cat for the second time, and she truly went above and beyond. Despite a power outage, she came in, found a blanket, and set up a cozy bed for my cat. I deeply appreciate her willingness to show up under challenging circumstances and ensure my cat was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommended for her dedication and care!”
“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!”
“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”
About: My pets get royal treatment and I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own. Looking forward to great adventures with your pup! I’m currently available for scheduled weekly walks last minute pop ins and boarding. I’m happy to run your dog anywhere from 1-5 miles if they really need to get out some energy! I have a fenced yard, a doggie door in the house with yard access and a 13 year old dog to keep your fur baby company.
“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!”

Chad provided great care for our elderly cat who needed a couple meds and feeding twice daily. He was completely reliable in his visits and when we returned, all was well organized as when we left and clean in our pet’s area and with his food. It was a great relief to us that we could rely on Chad while we were away and that he was quite capable of caring for our sometimes picky cat!
Zheru is the BEST sitter I could ask for! She is so loving, caring and detail-oriented. She took intensive notes during meet & greet, and sticked to my instructions and preferences during every visit. She sent tons of photos and videos everyday, provided detailed notes, and even vacuumed the floor and cleaned our kitchen sink and gently wiped away the discharge around Tutu’s butt without being asked to do so. Tutu is usually a shy baby but he absolutely loves her! I’m so reassured to leave my cat with Zheru, and I will absolutely invite her over next time when I’m out of town!
We’re not sure where to start. Di was such a great rover. She was very flexible with the meet and great before our trip, and also very communicative. Di not only listened to our instructions and requests, we noticed that she had stayed a little longer than the time requested to hangout with our little furballs. Di, thank you so much for taking care of our cats. And thank you so much for giving our cats a gift too! We will be reaching out in the future for other visits!
Hayley is an exceptional pet sitter who combines professionalism with genuine compassion for animals. Her attention to detail and proactive communication provide great peace of mind whenever I'm away. She not only ensures that Zoe and Gabby are well cared for, but also spends time engaging and playing with them. Their affection for her is obvious, and they always seem happy after her visits. I have hired Hayley multiple times and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Hayley, for taking such wonderful care of Zoe and Gabby!
I honestly don’t even know where to start! Kseniia was absolutely amazing with Kya! Her communication, attention to detail, and genuine care for Kya were unlike anything I’ve experienced with other sitters on Rover. From the very beginning, she kept me updated, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood Kya’s needs so she could provide the best possible care. She followed every instruction carefully, paid attention to even the smallest details, and consistently went above and beyond what was expected of her. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Kya and treated her as if she were her own. I can’t recommend Kseniia enough! If you’re looking for someone who is compassionate, responsible, attentive, and truly dedicated to your pet’s well-being, look no further. Kseniia is an exceptional sitter, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care and love she gave Kya!
Heather did an awesome job checking in on our cats while we were gone. I accidentally had a package delivered that I wasn't expecting and she even brought it inside for us before I knew it was there! I will definitely book her again. She really took the time to help our cats feel cared for while we were away.
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!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newcastle is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $32 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 12,716 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newcastle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitter.
