“Alison is a lovely lady and along with Alan they both obviously love dogs. They sent photos during Rinka's stay, showing her out on walks and snuggled up on the sofa. They were very easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking Alison again.”
“Maria and her children looked after Dexter for 3 nights whilst I was away on holiday. Dexter was upset on the first night and Marie’s comforted him to make sure he settled in quickly. Her children were great with him too and I received updates during his stay. Thanks for looking after him so well”
“I can highly recommend Ana Maria. She is absolutely wonderful and caring, with loads of doggy cuddles. She sent me twice daily messages about my two dogs with oodles of pictures of the dogs interacting with the family and on their walks as well as rest periods. The dogs were so reluctant to leave the family, Laila even hid under the table when it was time to come home! Highly recommend!!”
“Simona was very good looking after my elderly rescue staffy at very short notice after my boarder let me down.She gave me regular updates and was genuinely concerned about my dog whilst we were away.I would definitely use Simona again.Excellent dog carer X”
“Can’t Thank Tara enough for the way she took care of Bruno over the weekend. He was very well looked after. I was updated with messages and pics of him. Thank you again x”
“We left our nearly 14 year old Jack Russell with Marlon and Jaine for a few days whilst we were on a trip. She’s pretty deaf and showing signs of her age, also a bit nervous and just becoming a bit of a grumpy old woman really. She absolutely loved her stay and didn’t want to come home at the end of it. She was so well looked after and we loved getting the regular updates and pictures of how she was getting on. Can’t thank Marlon and Jaine enough and we will definitely be using them again in the future. Very highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much.”
“It was a perfect experience. Very nice people. Jimmy had a really good time. Just like two days of holiday. Very good communication. I don't even know what to say. All great. Many, many thanks 😊”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up with dogs as part of the family. I now have a dog of my own and regularly look after family members’ dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I work from home, which means any dog staying with me will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone. Dogs are treated as part of the family in my home - they’re welcome on the furniture, get lots of attention and affection, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable and at home during their stay. I work from home, so I’m always on hand to give your dog plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day. I offer doggy daycare during the week, perfect for when you’re busy or at work, and I may also have some weekend availability depending on my calendar. Please feel free to message me for more information or to discuss your dog’s needs and routine! 🐾 All dogs are treated as part of the family in our home and are more than welcome on the furniture! I have my own friendly dog, Barney, so your dog will have a companion to play with throughout the day. We have a large, fully fenced garden and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. During the warmer months, the back door is usually kept open so the dogs can freely come in and out and enjoy the garden. In the colder months, I make sure they’re offered regular toilet breaks, usually every hour or so. Most importantly, they’ll get plenty of attention, cuddles and company and will be treated just like one of our own. 🐶❤️
About: I have most weekends available for boarding at my home. I have a dog of my own who is very very friendly and gets on with all dogs she meets. She loves to play and she will share her toys!! Due to her not being neutered I do not accept male dogs at the moment. I would love to take care of your dog in my home, perhaps you need a weekend break. I have a genuine passion for dogs and there will be lots of love, care and treats available. I do not drive so your pet would need to be dropped off and picked up at agreed times :) I work during the week and have my own little sweetheart, 🐾 I am available at weekends and some Friday nights can be agreed also with notice. I have a small terraced house with small secure garden for toileting. I am happy to walk your dog at the local church/park a few mins down the road where there is plentiful grass and space to roam.
“Vicky was great! She kept us regularly updated and sent us lots of photos, and communication was excellent throughout. She also came to our home beforehand to meet our dog and spend some time with her, which we really appreciated. Our dog clearly had a lovely time with Vicky, was happy and ate really well during her stay. We felt completely at ease knowing she was being well looked after. We would definitely use Vicky again and highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Colette and Rich were both brilliant. I could relax during my holiday knowing that Sienna was well looked after. Had numerous updates and pictures for peace of mind. I'll 100% be using them both again in the future if they can put up with Siennas energy again. Thank you both so much”
“Nivinda was absolutely amazing 👏 Reggie was so well cared for by her whole family who absolutely fell in love with him. I will definitely use Nivinda again when we go away on holiday. We felt so relaxed knowing Reggie was happy. We had full updates everyday on several different times keeping us fully updated. A massive thanks for your excellent service and we fully recommend Nivinda 100% xx”
“Jessica was absolutely brilliant with our dog Ben! She looked after him overnight for us the night before our wedding, which gave us one less thing to worry about during such a busy and important time. She was so caring and went above and beyond by even bathing Ben for us! He came back happy, clean and clearly very well looked after. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after him, and we would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much! 🐾❤️”
“Can I firstly just say Jessica and her family are amazing 💞!! We left our little Patterdale Noodles 🐕with Jessica for 5 days, she agreed to have her at very short notice and was absolutely brilliant with her. We had never left Noodles with anyone other than family before so we're a little worried, but I can say she was truly amazing with her, she set my mind at reat as soon as I met her and when we saw her whole families true love for dogs, we knew she was a perfect match for us and Noodles. We had absolutely nothing to be worried about. Jessica sent me pictures/videos daily and updates on what she was doing, how she was, and she was always there if I just wanted to check in on Noodles. She was so happy and playful when we picked her up so I know so was in excellent hands and was looked after like one of Jessica's family. I will definitely be sending Noodles there again as she loved her time with Jessica and her beautiful family and I would highly recommend anyone to let her look after their little treasures. Thank you so much Jessica, you and your family are gorgeous and an extra special 😘😘😘🐾🐾🐾 from Noodles who misses you all lots already xxxxx”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. My family and friends have always relied on me to take care of their pets when going away I do work full-time Monday - Friday. I get 1 hour's lunch break around 12pm. Weekends vary from going on long walks or in the gym to spending time with family and friends. I'd ideally be looking for weekend pet care, however if your pet could last 8-12 & 1-5 on their own then I can accommodate midweek care I have a fully fenced large garden and open fields just a 5-minute walk from my house perfect for taking your fur baby on a good walk. I don't have any pets of my own, if your pet is crate trained, I can also work with this
“I had a wonderful experience with Carleigh. She took excellent care of Jomas and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. It was so lovely to hear Jomas had so much fun playing with her adorable dogs. It was clear Jomas was well cared for, happy, and treated like part of the family. I truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave Jomas. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much-I hope to see you again soon!😊”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I currently have a cane corso. I am proficient with any size or breed of dog (please no banned breeds) I am passionate about keeping your dog happy healthy and comfortable. I can cater to nearly every desired schedule, wants and needs. The only service I don’t offer is boarding in my own home due to my big boy being young & a tad boisterous. I will follow your instructions to a tee, whatever your dog/dogs wants and needs are, I can facilitate & cater to. Timed medications ? Done, specific feeding schedule, done.

Jasmine and her partner provided a home away from home for Zak, he was allowed complete freedom to roam and spend time where he was comfortable. Jasmine sent lots of photos, gave Zak treats and kept him busy playing fetch. She kept me updated the whole time and was very responsive. It’s really nice to know we have found someone trustworthy and very close to us, Zak would love to come back! Thank you so much 🩷
This was our first time leaving Baxter with anybody outside the family and we had also very recently lost his sister, who he was due to board with, so there was added stress on my part about leaving him while we went away. Colette was amazing, and made sure that she got to know Baxter before he stayed with her and Rich. She ensured that Baxter was comfortable with their surroundings prior to his stay. We went for walks together, and he went to stay with them for a full day before his week long stay. Any worries were completely dissolved when we received our daily updates and pictures of what Baxter was getting up to, from joining in with Colette's daily yoga routine, to pictures of him enjoying his walks with Reggie and Tyler, we could tell that Baxter was thoroughly enjoying his time with them. We will defiantly be using Colette again, and I would highly recommend her and Rich to anybody.
I would deffinetly use again and would happily recommend! Straight from the first meet and greet I could tell my dog Piper was going to have an amazing time, brilliant space, garden was perfect and secure! Lots and lots of great toys, lovely big dog bed! All the way through the stay I had regular videos, photos and updates, was so lovely to see how happy and well looked after Piper was. I cant praise Danielle and her partner enough, thank you and will deffiently will use again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newcastle-under-Lyme on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,132 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newcastle-under-Lyme. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in West Midlands may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
