About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m 29 and work as a Senior Manager at a Day Centre for adults with disabilities. I live in Dunston and can travel within a 25-mile radius — I have my own insured car, a clean driving license, and I’m DBS checked (registered with the yearly update service), so you can have peace of mind that your pets are in safe hands. I share my life with Barney, my 5-year-old working cocker spaniel, who loves meeting new friends. We spend lots of time exploring woodlands, beaches, and parks — and I’d love for your pup to join us! Because I work full-time Monday to Friday, I’m mainly available for evenings after 5pm and weekends. I can be flexible for specific times if needed. At home, I have a secure gravel garden with high fences, perfect for playtime. Dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable — they’ll have free run of the downstairs of the house, can snuggle up on the furniture, and will be spoiled with plenty of toys, treats, and love. My home is child-free, making it a calm and relaxed environment for your furry family member.

About: I’be taken care of the dogs from the young age. Our family always had the furry friends by our side. I loved to train them and I will happily train your lovely pet 😊 I had an experience with dogs of all ages - from puppies to seniors, so your dog will get a great care no matter their age 🤎 I am a student so I am mostly free on my week. My schedule takes 3 days in a week and most of my work I do home. Me and my partner love to go on a little trips to sea on weekends, so your dog can join us on these adventures! I am a reliable person, I love to be on time for the meetings and sittings. I will listen to all of your instructions of how to take the best care of your fur baby.

About: I have had and taken care of both cats and dogs since the age of 8 for family, friends and neighbours, walking, feeding, playing with and house sitting with animals. I am very comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes I currently am on summer break and am available every day from morning to night just drop me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible While I do not let pets board in my own home I am always very cautious to follow any instructions given to me on where pets are and are not allowed, making sure to keep them in their designated areas.

“Vicky was very friendly and took the time to meet myself and my dogs prior to our bookings. She sent over photos and an update after the booking which I really appreciate!! Having 2 dogs I had a few requests and some varied for each dog but Vicky was able to accommodate this - thank you!!”

About: I’ve loved dogs all my life and would love to love yours too! I am based in Low Fell, Gateshead. As I can’t currently own a dog due to my work commitments, I’m hoping Rover will provide me the opportunity to care for your pup as if they were my own 😊 I currently work from home part time and I am available most weekends throughout the year, I can be very flexible in providing care to your pup. My home is a secure terrace which has a gated yard, we are also very close to Saltwell park for walks. If your dog requires a baby gate/crate, let me know and we can accomodate.

About: I go beyond basic care by treating every dog like family—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and engaged. With keen attention to detail, a calm and confident approach, and a genuine passion for animals, I provide personalised care that sets me apart from other sitters. I’m currently doing dog services full time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to dog walking. This means I’m flexible, reliable, and able to give your dog the attention and care they need whenever it works best for you. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, dog-friendly environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. You can count on me to follow routines, watch closely for any signs of stress or discomfort, and treat your dog with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

About: Ive got 8 weekly repeat customers,I've been involved with dogs all my life,ive got a single dog walk experience if required or a pack walk of no more than 5 dogs,and they are all safely secured in my transport to and from the walk I'm now decided to do this full time as I thourghly enjoy working with the dogs,I was a printer most of my working life but I wasn't enjoying it so literally fell in to this job which I love I have a fenced garden plus saltwell park dog pen is 1 minute from my front door if I need it,I would normally take the dogs to the beach or countryside walks

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, with hands-on experience in walking, feeding, grooming, and even helping rehabilitate anxious or traumatized pets. My background includes successfully training an adopted Labrador with trauma, which gave me a deep understanding of animal behaviour and the patience to work with pets of all temperaments. Pet care is more than a job for me—it’s a passion. Currently, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to your pets. I’m available on weekdays after 6 PM and for full-time care on weekends, ensuring your furry friends get the care they deserve when you need it most. Your pet’s safety, comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a nurturing environment tailored to their needs. As an athlete and experienced mountaineer, I bring exceptional physical fitness and endurance, allowing me to engage in rigorous activities like long runs or intense play sessions for high-energy dogs. My experience caring for mountain dogs in the Himalayas has honed my ability to handle dogs requiring extra stamina and attention in physically demanding environments. I’m also experienced with leash training and administering basic medications when needed.

“I have never used this service before, always had a neighbour call in. However due to her illness I needed an alternative. After reading the Rover website I decided to give you a try for a short break. I will definitely be using you again. Belle loved Helen on her initial meet up visit. I knew she would get visits at set regular times. Helen even came early following storms to check she was ok. Belle loves company so she would get plenty of this. She loved her strokes and cuddles. If anything was wrong I knew I would be informed. Such as when she was not eating. I could then offer advice. Seeing daily photos of Belle confirmed she was ok and happy. I even thought she would be disappointed when we came home. Thanks again Helen. We will no doubt see you again.”

About: I have extensive experience with dogs, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Miniature Cockerpoos. I've owned dogs all my life and understand the care and attention they need. Whether it's playtime, walks, or simply being there for them, I’m dedicated to making sure every dog feels loved and well cared for. As a law student with flexible days free from lectures, pet care fits seamlessly into my life. I have my own place with my partner, allowing us to provide a comfortable and secure environment for your pets. Caring for animals during my free time is a rewarding way to balance my studies and passion for pets, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly home with a garden and am conveniently located near a large field, perfect for walks and playtime. This setup allows me to provide ample outdoor activity and exercise for your pets, ensuring they enjoy a healthy and happy stay while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a dog lover and proud owner of a sweet cockapoo puppy girl. I have two wonderful kids, ages 5 and 11, and as a family, we adore spending time with dogs. 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.

“Edd was great. Our very scared cats were even persuaded out to see him and he really took time to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend”

“We used Molly for 2 drop in sessions to feed our cat while on a weekend away - could not fault her at all! Molly provided excellent care for him and gave us detailed updates, even remembering little details from the meet and greet session, I 100% recommend Molly and will definitely book her again!”

About: I love dogs and I live alone, so dog boarding provides good company for me without the commitment of having my own dog as I also like to travel. I find it easy to quickly bond with dogs and like to think I am a great alternative to kennels as I can give your dog 1 on 1 attention as I mostly work from home. They will get plenty of attention in a nice, peaceful, relaxed home with no other dogs or children. 3 walks daily. I don't have a garden, just a back yard. However, there are great walking opportunities right outside my house. I work from home most days. I have a lot of flexibility within my job which makes it easy to care for a dog at the same time. One on one, just me and your dog, no loud noises, kids or other animals. Would suit a slightly anxious dog that needs a quiet, relaxing environment, as opposed to going into kennels. I only take one dog at a time, would consider two from the same family however.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was born, in total I’ve looked after 3 sausage dogs, a foxhound and a cat called Lucy! I take them on walks, bathe them and give them lots of cuddles I’m currently working part time as a Researcher for Northumbria Police and I work from home (except for Thursdays). My usual shift patterns are 11-3 Monday to Friday (Tues -12:30-16:30). So I have a lot of spare time to look after your furry friends! I have a relatively large front and back garden and I’m happy to take them on walks every couple of hours as I love going on walks for fresh air. I also live 10 minutes away from chase park so happy to let them roam there for a couple of hours to get some fresh air! I don’t mind if they have an accident in the house, which animal doesn’t from time to time! My house is big enough for any type of dog to roam and play and we always make sure the house is clean and nothing that could cause injury is out
