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.

“Meghan was amazing, she went above and beyond, excellent communication. I have rebooked her for my next trip away in a few weeks! I came back to a very happy cat- thank you!”
“Ekaterina did a great job with Gazpacho, she communicated really well and provided very thorough updates alongside lots of lovely photos! I would book her again! Thanks for a great job! 🐈⬛️❤️”
“This was our second time using Phoebe to cat sit for us. She always turns up on time, did everything we asked and gave our cats plenty of love and attention. Gave us peace of mind that they were well looked after while we were away. Would definitely book Phoebe again.”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Rhian, a dog enthusiast from Newcastle. I have grown up with dogs and own one of my own. In my spare time I also volunteer at a rescue so I have experience walking different breeds. If I can help out, let me know. Thanks for viewing my profile😊 I can be flexible on days and can accommodate last- minute requests. Happy to do multiple days per week. Let me know what works for you. I have a dog-friendly, fully vaccinated miniature daxxie that can come on walks if you wish. If you need extended visit time, just add this to your request. Prior meets would be preferred.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a baby. Growing up my grandparents also owned parrots, bunnies, dogs of all sizes, cats, tortoises, fish, you name it…my parents always had dogs and cats. I also owned a dog for 11 years. I feel most comfortable around animals :) Being an older sister of 3, I grew up being the responsible one, caretaker and I’d also walk the dogs, train them, feed them and help my parents in any way I could. When I adopted my first own dog, I learned how much love I have to give and how much responsibility it takes to look after a furbaby. He was very anxious and reactive, so it was 11 years of learning and challenges, but he was the sweetest and goodest boy, right up until the end. I’m currently working full-time. For now I’m looking to combine my love for animals and building up a side income during my free time. I’m happy to look after and walk your pets during my free time on the weekends. I can drive which allows me to get to places a bit further out. I cannot have pets in my own home sadly. However, I’m happy to come in and check on your kitten or pooch while you’re away. I can also pet sit if needed and play with, feed and walk your dogs. I can also train and teach your dog (or cat, if they feel like it haha) some tricks. Work on their confidence by using gentle rewards and lots of patience on their walks. I have experience with reactive dogs and I know how important it is to maintain comfort and special care for the sensitive pups.
“Morris was a great cat sitter. I came home from holiday to find Teddy super relaxed and content. Morris sent awesome updates with great pictures and looked after him perfectly. Thanks Morris, Teddy and I look forward to having you care for him again soon.”
About: Thank you for considering my pet care services. My aim is to provide a safe, caring and enriching environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at home while you're away. I hold an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour and have over two years of professional experience as a dog trainer, giving me an in-depth understanding of canine behaviour and welfare. When your dog stays with me, their care is tailored to their individual needs, taking into account factors such as their age, breed, temperament and personality. You can also have peace of mind knowing that I understand canine learning and behaviour, meaning I will avoid unintentionally reinforcing or creating unwanted behaviours. I also hold a Level 2 (VTQ) Canine First Aid qualification, giving you added reassurance that, in the unlikely event of a medical emergency, your dog would be in safe and capable hands while in my care. Furthermore, I am fully insured for the services I provide, meaning appropriate protection is in place should an accident, injury or damage occur during your dog’s stay. I am currently working from home with sporadic hours, so I have lots of time to take your dog(s) out to the lovely parks near my house! I can also board on weekends depending on availability, so I am very flexible and can look after your dog(s) for an extended period of time! As mentioned, there are several lovely parks just a few minutes from my home that are perfect for dog walks. I aim to keep your dog’s routine as close to normal as possible during their stay. I have a spare room available if they prefer their own space, a crate for dogs who find them more comfortable, and they’re also welcome to sleep on the furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog(s) will receive my full attention throughout their stay.

About: I’ve had Labradors and horses my whole life, Family and friends have often relied on me to care for their furry friends and their home. I work part time and I am able to look after pets most weekdays and weeknights, caring on a weekend is work dependent but please ask if required. I can stay with your pet at home and take it to public parks or exercise it alone if preferred. I am able to drive and I’m happy for the dog to be in my car.
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.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Newcastle upon Tyne
Alison was absolutely wonderful with Albus. I had to leave very suddenly to be with my mum, who was receiving palliative care, and Alison kindly stepped in at very short notice to look after Albus. Knowing that he was with someone so caring and trustworthy gave me such peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. Alison kept me updated with lovely pictures and messages, which meant so much and reassured me that Albus was happy and well looked after. When I returned, I came home to a very happy and content cat. I’m so grateful to Alison for taking such great care of Albus when I needed it most. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and am now on my third booking!
Anne was fantastic with our cat and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly caring, taking the time to understand our cat’s routine and personality. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet and everything exactly as expected. I’d absolutely recommend Anne to anyone looking for a trustworthy, cat sitter. We'll be booking with her again
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newcastle upon Tyne on Rover is £13.23 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 341 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Newcastle upon Tyne. About 90% 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.
