About: Dog owner, animal lover, and someone who’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, friendly and understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, with some days working from home, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits and pet care. I’m also available most evenings and weekends, making me a great option for regular walks, holiday cover and weekend pet sitting. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is. I’ll always put your pet’s safety and wellbeing first, stick to their usual routine, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own dog. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: I grew up in a house with a lot of pets and have always loved spending time with, nurturing and caring for animals. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including puppies and older dogs, large and small I'm self employed so have a lot of time and energy to help you care for your pets and keep them active and healthy. I can provide walking or pet-sitting services during weekdays on a very flexible basis to best suit your schedule I have a safe and spacious flat in central Newcastle where I can care for cats and smaller dogs, but which might not be suitable for larger dogs. I can provide pet-sitting services at your home in this instance, if required
About: I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. I myself have a cat which I care for by myself so I'm confident that I'm reliable and responsible to be a good pet-sitter. I'm a full time university student but I don't spend that much time outside so pet sitting and dog walking are an amazing time to be more active while I'm doing things I love and helping people out! That said, if I don't have a lecture planned, I'm more than happy to meet your pets! I live in a complex with CCTV security and two locks. There's a small fence around the garden and regular check ins from the agency
“Rhian was amazing! Sent really detailed reports each day and clearly my cat was very taken by her (which is saying a lot as she can be quite a nervous cat). Thank you so much and I will be rebooking !!”

About: I am a trustworthy and reliable student who adores animals and would love to help someone out. I have plenty of experience looking after a range of animals for my neighbours. I am currently in university and have a part time job but I am not in all day everyday and can be flexible to your needs. I will always share my availability of that week with you for full clarity! Learn their personality so I don’t push boundaries they aren’t comfortable with, I aim to do this initially through communication with owners about needs, expectations etc.

“Katie was fabulous at looking after Ruby. Very professional in all of her communication and kept me fully up to date (with photos of a very happy hound!). I could see how happy and relaxed Ruby was in being looked after by Katie who was able to give her medication and take excellent care of her. Ruby can’t wait to see her again!”

About: I grew up with Dobermans and at one point we had three in the house. I love dogs and regularly look after my friends pets both sitting and walking. Had experience of dog training, both small and bigs breads, from a border terrier to a German shepherd. Happy to go on adventurous walks, or a walk round the block and open my home up for sitting too. I work full time but have every other Friday off and can work flexibly from home for 2 days a week. I am more available at weekends however can adjust my work from home days to sit around the weekend for longer sitting opportunities. Dog walking can be before work, after work or during a lunch time on a WFH day and weekends any time. I have no pets of my own just yet. I have a garden at my home, 3 bed house with plenty of space and space downstairs for dog beds, crates or whatever is required. I am super respectful and will always follow the dog owners wishes for caring for their dog.

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals, training young ones and tending to injuries or ongoing needs. From terriers and spaniels to farm felines and couch cats, and most inbetween. I don't have my own at home now, and have been boarding or walking for friends to fill the fluff shaped gap. Keen to share my space more often and give a safe spot to play and rest while owners are away, or just for walkies and check ins. I'm fair and fun with dogs, love to make their brain and nose work with hide & seek games. Cats are royalty and so entitled to their own agenda; no pressure from me to make fast friends unless they want to play or come for cuddles. I'm in and around most of the day, taking time work on some passion projects at home. Often find myself in the park or a cafe, boarders very welcome to accompany me! One evening per week I work out of the house for 2-4 hours, which can be worked around. I've worked in support for many years, and see sitting quite the same! If visiting their home, first off cover the basics of food, water, access to outside and play. Keeping the environment safe and clean, noticing signs of distress and adapting to what they need as much as possible. At home, there's comfy places to curl up and space to play. The kitchen is ideal for a quiet area to eat and decompress if they need it, with managed access to the yard. I have a fenced yard with a shrubby boarder for toilet and run around time. Some access to neighbours' lawn.

About: We always grew up with pets, particularly dogs. We often pet sit for family members and friends. We have now been house sitting and dog sitting in a few areas of the UK and love it! We’re comfortable with cats and dogs and truly love being around animals. We have experience with several different breeds from terriers, to spaniels, to labs, and lots of rescues! We love getting to know their individual quirks! We have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to the sweetest senior dogs, and try to keep on top of training and their routines when they stay! We have many neighbourhood cats that we’ve bonded with. Having a wfh job, I’d love to be getting more steps in and would be happy to bring your dog along! My partner Sam also works from home as a senior designer so he will be present for house sits, boarding and walks! He loves animals just as much as me and it’s something we love to do together. We run this account together but I handle the admin so it may be both or one us that are available! It gives us lots more flexibly to accommodate requests! We encourage meet and greets were possible just to make sure everyone is comfortable! I’m a full time therapist in the NHS, and work from home 3-4 days a week. Sam is a senior product designer and works from home most of the time. Having a desk job I would love to be more active, and what better way than keeping up with a dog! We’d be available to walk through the week and the weekend. We are respectful and clean and would always prioritise keeping your pets safe and in their routine, with lots of affection too! I’m happy to communicate regularly with updates for peace of mind too
“Janire looked after our elderly cat whilst we were away. I would highly recommend her, she was excellent - very diligent and kind with great communication throughout. she kindly helped us with some house issues that unexpectedly occurred whilst we were away too which we were very grateful for.”

“We booked Anastasiia in for a brief sitting before she looks after Finn for 3 weeks. She’s polite and efficient in her responses to all queries. Finn loved her and we feel really comfortable having her watch over him (and the house) while we’re away.”

“Stephanie is absolutely lovely! She was great with our little dog. As well, very accommodating and great communication. Fully recommend her and she’s welcome to spend time with our dog anytime”

About: I’ve had cats since I was a child and often taken care of them since I was 13 when my parents were away, I continue to do this now. I am also a prominent cat feeder/sitter in my neighbourhood looking after at least 5 different families cats when they are away. I have also been trusted with neighbours and friends dogs to walk them on a regular basis. Additionally, I have been looking after a friends dog and house every summer for the past 3 years for a week. I love doing this and getting to know the pets. I am currently a university student, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I have no university on Wednesdays or the weekends. I work as a swimming coach 3 times a week but these are only for 1 hour on a Tuesday and Wednesday evening and a Sunday afternoon. I am flexible and available for looking after pets and keeping furry friends company I can easily make my way to houses and ensure that dogs are walked and fed regularly. I’m happy to follow instructions and get in touch if I need advice. I love making a happy environment for pets and I’m happy to visit the pets before sitting so that they are more comfortable when I actually come and sit with them so that they know me better.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, looking after family and friends’ cats and dogs over the years. I’m a cat owner myself so I understand how important routine, patience and trust are for pets. I’m calm, attentive and genuinely love animals. I’m building my experience on Rover and will treat every pet in my care with real dedication I work a hybrid schedule, three days in the office and two days from home, which means I’m around during the day mid-week and fully available on weekends. Dogs in my care will never be left alone for long stretches, and weekend boarding gets my complete attention with no work commitments. I’ve had cats for five years and understand how much routine and calm matter to animals. In your home I treat the space with care and follow your pet’s existing schedule closely : feeding times, walks, any medication needs. I’m comfortable administering medication and handling pets that need a little extra attention. Your pet stays in a familiar environment with someone who genuinely loves animals, not just likes them.
“Emma is so wonderful, and we feel so much happier knowing our two whippets are having drop-in visits when we’re working longer hours! Would absolutely recommend her for all your dog sitting/walking needs!”

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who’s a little pet deprived! I’m from the USA but currently studying for my Masters in Newcastle, and I miss my dog and cat terribly. Alongside having pets of my own, I’ve also completed house sitting jobs where I’ve cared for dogs by feeding them, letting them out and playing with them while also caring after the home. I’m responsible, tidy and happy to follow your pets routine to keep things as normal as possible I’m currently working on writing my dissertation which I luckily can do from anywhere! All I need is wifi so my schedule is super flexible. I have a small studio for pets to roam around but I also live very close to parks and plenty of trails to take walks.
“Amazing!! Would thoroughly recommend Colie! We asked Colie to come to check on our puppy for an hour twice this week and she was fab! Such a nice person too! Fully trust her and we are going to ask her to come back! We received photos of him and then a report card with what went on in the hour which was lovely. Baxter says thank you! X”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Newcastle upon Tyne
We are so so impressed with Emily’s service!! From a fantastic meet and greet, where we saw just how caring she was with our cat, to the attentive details in the updates whilst we were away. We recieved such adorable pictures of our cat playing so happily and being snuggled. She took all the precautions making sure all the potential hazardous toys were put away for when no one was around to supervise. We were so nervous to leave our cat for the first time but our minds were completely at ease knowing she was in Emily’s care!! Emily also went above and beyond, checking on our hamster which was not in her job requirement, changing his water and giving him some attention too. So incredibly kind of her!! She was so accommodating when we had a key situation too. We will absolutely be using Emily again!!! From two very happy cat parents and Phoebe cat! 🐱

Sharon was fantastic with Moo. What started as simple drop-in visits quickly turned into much longer stays as Muesli warmed up to Sharon. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which made being away so much easier, and it was clear that Moo was happy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying the company. I came home to a very content cat, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Muesli (Moo).

I would highly recommend Severine. She looked after my cat while I was away for a few days, and I came home to a very happy and relaxed Tilly, which says it all. Severine kept me updated daily and it gave me real peace of mind knowing Tilly was so well cared for. Thank you, Severine, for taking such wonderful care of her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with you again!

Tasha was great looking after our cat recently. Our cat is quite shy but took to Tasha straight away. Tasha had a lot of patience ensuring our cat came back home in the evening when he was quite naughty and took a while to come back. Would definitely recommend!

Kira looked after our cat Rosie whilst we were away and she was perfect! Kira kept us updated, sent pictures and i could tell she gave her lots of care and special attention! We came home to a very happy healthy kitty! Thank you Kira for being an amazing pet sitter! Will definitely recommend and re-book 😊

We absolutely loved all the updates Cheryl sent while we were away. She took amazing care of all our cats, and we're pretty sure they loved having her around too! It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were so well looked after. We would 100% recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we'll definitely be using her again next time we're away. Thank you so much, Cheryl!

Hannah does a wonderful job of caring for my cat while I’m away, making sure he is well fed and well entertained! She is very trustworthy and reliable which gives me complete peace of mind leaving my cat in her care while I’m gone. She is an absolute star, I’ll definitely book with her again in the future ♥️

Janire looked after our elderly cat whilst we were away. I would highly recommend her, she was excellent - very diligent and kind with great communication throughout. she kindly helped us with some house issues that unexpectedly occurred whilst we were away too which we were very grateful for.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newcastle upon Tyne on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 324 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Newcastle upon Tyne. About 92% of Newcastle upon Tyne sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
