About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life growing up with, looking after and training two Labradors who have both been anxious with other dogs. I am a friendly individual who will make sure that dogs feel safe and comfortable while on walks and in my home. I am highly capable of looking after both young and old, small and big dogs and will cater to each and every need:) I have just finished my final year of university and am staying in Newcastle for two more months so have plenty of free days. I love going on walks and getting out of the house and would love to be a new (second) best friend for your pet! I live in a maisonette where we have looked after dogs on three separate occasions with sufficient space in the living room and easy access to a nearby park. I will ensure that there are no harmful and chewable objects around. There are no other dogs in this house so my full attention will be given to your pet:)
About: 5 years working with dogs in professional settings including rescue and a canine country club. Foundation degree in animal welfare and a diploma in canine behaviour Went part time for the rescue I work for due to an injury. All healed now but, want to start spend more of my time with dogs again ! I have great deal of love and respect for individual dog needs and will pretty much do anything to make them feel safe and comfortable.
“Samantha was amazing throughout the whole process! As someone who had never left their dog with someone else nor used the Rover app, Samantha put me right at ease! Rosie clearly loved the walks and time; Samantha was very knowledgeable from her experience in veterinary and kept me updated across the day. Would definitely recommend to anyone and also will definitely be booking again when needed, thanks Samantha!”

About: I'm a caring, reliable pet lover with experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I've cared for energetic puppies, gentle senior dogs, nervous dogs who need extra patience and reassurance, and cats with their own unique routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their needs, whether that's a relaxed walk, plenty of playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. Im currently a university student, so have lots of free time as my course is very independent based! I love seeing my regular pups on a daily basis, it fits perfectly into my routine and keeps me busy. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they have a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, to help them feel settled. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care while keeping you updated for complete peace of mind.
“A friendly dog walker. With own transport. Security conscientious and showed respect whilst in my property. Followed instructions accordingly with regards to the every day needs of my dog. Sound communication skills and reliable on all calls. First Aid trained. Very reasonably priced. Provided photos and walking routes. I was very nervous and anxious about leaving my dog, with someone I did not know. However Collie quickly gained both mine and my dogs confidence. I Would highly recommend.”

I also worked in a doggy day care for 2 years. Current just got my own house with my boyfriend so I will be free a lot of the time to take dogs in to look after while their owners are away. My home is a few minutes walk away from the rising sun country park! A great place for dogs to have fun and get tired out!

About: I’m a veterinary student with hands-on experience caring for animals of different ages, sizes and temperaments. I have done a range of volunteering/placement at different shelters and organisations. I’m confident handling energetic dogs as well as older pets who may need extra patience and attention. Through my studies and personal experience, I understand animal behaviour, health and safety, and husbandry. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, cared for and happy while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative and genuinely love spending time with animals. I am in my summer holidays of uni with few other commitments so have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets! I enjoy keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated with games, enrichment activities and exploring local parks and new walking routes. I always adapt to each dog’s energy levels and routine so they feel comfortable and happy.
About: I started looking after my pets (dogs, cats etc.) when I was 5. I always loved spending time with them. They charge me with positive. Have an experience in training dogs. Can't imagine my life without pets. My friends always trusted me their pets and were always calm about them. I'm responsible and can cook food for them. At this moment I have a lot of free time so it should be no problem to look after your pet for the whole day. I like bathing, playing and walking pets and feeding them. I also come up with interesting games for them very often so they won't be bored. Our family consists of three people, and there's always someone at home throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone or feel neglected — we make sure they’re always in good company. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, one of us will be around to give attention, care, and love. We know how important it is for pets to feel safe and not stressed when they're away from home. I take care of everything your pet needs: feeding on time, going for regular walks in the nearby park, and playing both indoors and outdoors. I give them space to explore and be active, while also making sure they stay safe and happy. Daily routines are very important to me, so your pet will have a consistent and comfortable schedule that suits their habits and energy levels.
About: I have been raised around pets my entire life, and am confident in my ability to care for them. I have cared for both family and friends' pets in the past when needed, and now have my own. I currently study part time, so have plenty time to care for your pets. With summer coming up, my availability is much more flexible due to the term ending :) A pet's safety and comfort is really important to me - I always make sure to provide the care needed and make sure that their owner is confident they are being cared for.

We’re friendly, caring, and love making furry friends feel at home. Your dog will be treated like part of the family with us! (I can provide my DBS check) Currently I’m working part-time and mostly remotely, so I have free time to care about pets and at the same time enjoy their company. I can take dogs for walks or for a night with us. Also cats are welcome and able to explore my home and even climb on curtains (what some of them like so much). I have a private house with a big fenced garden. Pets are allowed on furniture. My family is very friendly and we have a nice park nearby to take dogs for walks. I always tidy up after and keep my home safe and clean.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gateshead. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Gateshead.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
