Dog Boarding Newcastle upon Tyne

“Yvonne and David are so lovely, we felt from the meet & greet that our boys would be well looked after, and they definitely were! They dealt with Kenny's anxiety and Geoff's general grumpiness so well, we weren't ever worried about them. We also got great pics and videos, absolutely going to rebook.”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11 years old and currently have a two-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo in the UK. Alongside caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after both small and large breeds, as well as raising cats and rabbits in my home country. Dogs staying with me will enjoy daily visits to the nearby park, with at least two 30-minute walks or play sessions each day. With the owner’s permission and where it is safe, they can also enjoy off-lead play. I am patient, attentive and always take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and routine, treating every pet as part of my own family. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and at home while their family is away. I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule, and my partner is at home full-time, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. Our usual routine includes three outdoor trips at around 9 am, 3 pm and 8 pm, with walks, playtime, sniffing and games of fetch in the large park just two minutes from our home. Between walks, dogs are free to relax, play and spend time with us at home. We also do our best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine, so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable and at home. We live in a spacious two-storey house with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play and move around comfortably. A large park is only a one-minute walk from our home, making regular exercise and outdoor time easy. Dogs are not routinely kept in crates, although we can follow their usual crate routine if requested. All guest dogs are welcome on the sofa, and dogs under 30 kg may sleep on the bed with the owner’s permission. We carefully follow all care instructions and make sure every dog is well supervised throughout their stay. I also keep detailed records of your dog’s daily routine and wellbeing, including their meals, walks, toilet habits, mood, behaviour and any other important changes, so you can easily keep track of how they are doing. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout the stay, together with detailed status updates, so you’ll always know your dog is safe, happy and having fun. Photos are shared in a way that allows owners to easily view and save them as lovely memories of their dog’s stay.

“Anna and Jorge were brilliant with our dog. They got to know him and took care of him exactly how he likes. He came home happy and healthy and they enjoyed the week they had with him. We will definitely be booking them again”

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover with plenty of experience looking after dogs. My mum is a dog sitter in North Yorkshire, so whenever I’m at home I regularly help with walking, feeding and caring for the dogs she looks after. Over the summer, I also dog-sat for a week for people in my home village, giving me experience caring for dogs independently and making sure they are happy, safe and well looked after. I’m responsible, trustworthy and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise and care while you’re away. 🐾 I’m currently studying at Northumbria University and only have around two hours of lectures three days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility in my daily schedule. I already enjoy going on walks every day, so dog walking would fit naturally into my routine. I’d be happy to arrange walks around my university commitments and make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I have a fenced-off area at the back of my house where dogs can safely spend time outside. Although it doesn’t have grass, I also have a front garden with grass where I can take dogs out on a lead. I would always make sure they are supervised and secure when outside. I’m happy to follow each dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and any specific instructions from their owner.

“Lauren has looked after our two staffies twice now and we couldn’t happier with the level of care. She’s brilliant at sending regular updates and great at wrangling our big bundles of energy. We can tell how much our girls love staying because this time when we dropped them off they ran to the front door!”

“Jack had a lovely stay with Andrew. Although just a short break, Andrew kept us up to date with regular messages and photos. Andrew was really patient with Jack and changed his plans to fit around him. Highly recommended, and we will be booking Jack in with him again soon.”

Sue M.

“We really appreciated being able to meet Connie before our 2 year old Terrier stayed with her. It was reassuring for us that she has a good understanding of terriers' quirks and personality ( and clearly enjoys them!) Our boy came home happy and relaxed from a two night stay. We also appreciated the photos she sent during his stay, particularly the ones of him smuggling up for cuddles with her....he looked so chilled out! We will certainly be asking her to take care of him again”

Shona M.

“Erin and Alex were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. It was our first time using a dog sitter but after meeting Erin at her home I knew Ozzy was going to be well looked after. She kept in touch daily about where they had been and took loads of photos! I think Ozzy was living his best life at their house. Thank you so much!”

About: My pet care journey is driven by a genuine love and understanding of dogs. Having recently graduated, I’m currently based at home where I live with my six dogs, including two puppies I’ve trained myself. This environment allows me to stay actively involved in dog care and training on a daily basis. While I’ve been less active on Rover recently, I’ve continued to care for a number of regular clients, maintaining consistent experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I particularly enjoy working with more anxious dogs, helping them feel comfortable, secure and settled in my care. My background also includes working at a doggy daycare centre, where I developed confidence handling multiple dogs at once and adapting to different personalities and energy levels. My key strengths include puppy training, building trust with nervous dogs, and providing consistent, personalised care. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and routines, ensuring they feel safe, happy and well looked after at all times. As a Master’s student (with a background in Zoology at Newcastle University), I balance my studies alongside a flexible part-time job and my passion for pet care. This means I have the time, organisation, and reliability to give your pets the attention they deserve. I regularly update my calendar to ensure I’m fully available and never overbooked, so there’s always plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. Balancing university, work, and pet care has helped me develop strong time management and commitment, meaning your furry friends will always receive consistent, attentive, and loving care every day. Safety, trust, and a welcoming environment are my top priorities in pet care. At home, I have a secure fenced garden perfect for safe play. When walking dogs, I always keep them on a lead to ensure their safety. In pet owners' homes, I treat the space with utmost respect, leaving it tidy and ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved. Whether at my place or yours, I provide a secure, caring, and fun environment for your furry friends.

About: We have both grown up with dogs from a very young age, so caring for dogs has always been a natural and important part of our lives. We have a genuine connection with dogs and love spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, or simply giving them lots of attention and cuddles. We are responsible, caring and trustworthy, and we understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is in safe and loving hands. Every dog we look after is treated as part of our family. We are both university students, but we organise our schedules carefully to ensure we have plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your dog. We have a cosy, comfortable and welcoming home where dogs can feel relaxed and part of the family. We follow each dog’s routine and individual needs, and we can also provide a crate if your dog is crate-trained or prefers having a safe, quiet space.

“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”

Susan S.

“We had a great experience with Phoebe while we were away on holiday. She took brilliant care of Buzz and kept us updated, which really put our minds at ease. Buzz was happy, relaxed and clearly very well looked after when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Phoebe again and would happily recommend her to others.”

Teresa M.

“Julie was amazing. She was so professional, caring and reliable. Her family and home are beautiful and our dog obviously felt safe and secure with them. We were provided with daily updates and pictures and our dog came home relaxed and very well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Julie. Amazing job. Thank you.”

Chris M.

“Milena was absolutely fantastic with Griffin, and put so much effort in to comfort him on his first night away from home. Fantastic communication with lots of photos and updates, and very accommodating and understanding of our last minute booking. Overall great experience thank you!”

Hattie S.

“Highly recommend – a fantastic first experience with Rover! As first-time Rover users, we couldn't have asked for a better experience with Laura, Leandro, and Sindy. We needed to find a dog sitter at very short notice for eight days, and the whole process was incredibly easy from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout. They took the time to discuss Cheddar's needs before we left and kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which immediately put us at ease during what could have been a very nerve-racking time. Cheddar had an amazing time, with plenty of play, care, and attention. It was clear she was treated like one of the family. We honestly think she's been missing Sindy since we got home! We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable dog sitters.”

Emily M.

“Amber was very professional and I felt reassured that Milo would be well looked after. He did indeed have a wonderful time and Amber sent messages and photos throughout the stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend her service.”

Catherine W.

“Really happy with the way Rebecca looked after our Reuben. He’s a proper family pet so wouldn’t have settled in a kennels. With Rebecca it felt like he was just i seamlessly transferred from one loving family home into another. Looking to book another stay.”

About: I love all animals, work on animal behaviour and welfare and have been taking care of pets for a long time. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their dogs while away and I have been more officially dog sitting for a couple of years now. I also have background on animal behaviour and welfare (I am a researcher on the field) and therefore have some good understanding of their behaviours. I'm currently working from home. I like to start my day early with a walk and having a fluffy companion is always better! I have a break Im the middle of the day, for walks or playing with them in the garden and I end up the day with a longer walk. I have a fenced garden and I don’t have any pets. I don’t take care of more than one animal at a time.

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, including my own Shih Tzu, so I understand their needs and personalities deeply. I’m gentle, patient, and great with both playful pups and senior dogs. I focus on comfort, trust, and keeping each dog happy, safe, and loved—just like they deserve. I work part-time on weekends from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., so I’m free most afternoons and weekdays to walk, play, and care for dogs. Spending time with them fits easily into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! I treat every dog as if they were my own. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully—feeding, walking, and playtime just as instructed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, keeping their space clean and cozy while giving them plenty of attention and affection.
