“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.”
“Anna and her husband looked after Koko over the weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were very responsive from the start and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. They were both incredibly supportive and helpful, and it was clear that Koko was well cared for and comfortable. I truly think he really enjoyed his little staycation with them! We would absolutely recommend Anna and her husband and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“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!”
“Lyudmila has been professional though out Dizzie stay with message also pictures and walks . Lyudmila listened to Dizzie when she’s needed go to the toilet also for her walks . Nothing was a problem to Lyudmila she made me so comfortable for Dizzie to stay at her lovely home . Also it’s home to home for Dizzie . I will be booking again for Dizzie at Lyudmila .”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Luna’s overnight stay. Luna stayed overnight while we travelled to Birmingham, and we felt completely reassured from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and comfortable she was throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, Jesica and Sam were warm, friendly and clearly cared about Luna’s wellbeing. Pick-up was smooth, so everything was handled professionally. Thank you for taking such great care of Luna. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book again!”
About: Before coming to the UK, I was basically a mom of 7 dogs. Spending time with them is never tiring . Aren't they little angles ✨ I have flexibility since its summer and I have no school. Pet care just kinda slips into your day—like feeding your furry overlord when you wake up, going on poop patrol during walks, and brushing enough fur to make a second pet. Once a week, it’s spa day When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or someone else’s—it’s all about creating a safe, cozy vibe they can trust. I pet-proof the space (no sneaky snacks or chewable cords!), stick to their routine so they feel secure, and shower them with affection
“Jake is a great lad who accommodates very well for your dogs individual needs. Great location for walks and really makes sure he is keeping in touch during the stay. Thanks again and would definitely recommend to others.”
“Rebecca was absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend her enough. She was very thorough in the meet and greet and asked lots of questions about Maisie’s care. She allowed me to view her home so I could see where Maisie would be staying and Maisie fell in love with the garden and their wonderful dog. Throughout the booking I have received lots of updates with messages, photos and videos. I have never left Maisie before in a kennel or a strangers home so this was something I was nervous about. However, I felt at ease straight away seeing how comfortable and happy she looked. Seems like Maisie has found a second home! Cannot thank you enough!”
“Erin and Alex were incredible with Tec; caring, lovely and excellent communicators. I'll definitely be asking for help when I need a sitter again. I was especially grateful for the brilliant updates and time Erin and Alex took to meet, greet and later make sure Tec settled and was comfortable. Would recommend”
“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”
“Jessica is a lovely, warm and friendly person and has an obvious love and enthusiam for dogs. Our dog Dexter had an overnight stay with Jessica when we visited Gateshead and he had a wonderful time, going for walks and making friends with Jessica's own dog. We had great communication before and during Dexter's stay. As we left Dexter was virtually hugging Jessica goodbye! I'm only sorry we live so far away as I would use Jessica on a regular basis and will do so if we visit the area again, I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Brilliant !!! Our 2 dogs loved it and the family made us welcome, we felt very secure that the dogs would get a 5 star treatment . The pictures and video they sent were reassuring and we now have a dog sitter that delivers everything we require”
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.
“Laura and her husband were incredible sitters, and really went above and beyond for us when we needed last minute boarding due to other plans falling through. They very communicative and sent daily updates and pictures and seemed to genuinely care for Monty, it was heartwarming to see. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for sitting and boarding services.”
“Avi and Guyatri are fantastic dog sitters. They were so attentive with skye and sent me lots of photos and videos of her having a good time. They really looked after her. Highly recommended.”
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.
“Phoebe took absolutely wonderful care of our dog Rufus. He came back happy and tired out and had clearly enjoyed his stay. We received regular updates with photos which put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Newcastle upon Tyne is £30

My 4 month old puppy Toby had a perfect stay with Yvonne and her husband. Yvonne kept in touch regularly with photos and updates about how Toby was getting on, and I could tell he was being really well looked after. Yvonne took consideration of Toby’s routine at home and implemented this into his stay with her. He had a great time playing with her dog Isla and it was really reassuring to know he was having fun and being taken care of so well. I would highly recommend Yvonne to look after your dog!🐾🩵
Connie is absolutely lovely and very helpful with the whole process. She made sure there wouldn't be any issues with both our dogs. Marnie is such a sweet dog. We received plenty of communication to ease our minds as well as lots of photos to show how well Sunnie was settling in. I can tell she had an amazing time and would be happy to have her stay again x
Jessica looked after Bella for an overnight stay and kept me updated while I was travelling to my daughter’s graduation. She sent pictures to show me how Bella quickly settled down in her house. I was really pleased and I managed to relax and enjoyed my daughter’s special day. Thank you again Jessica. I will book again if I need to in the future. Lydia M.

Jessica Thank you for taking such good care of Arlo, he skipped into your house when dropped off and he was so well looked after with lovely walks and cuddles. Will definitely use you again and would not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family. Best regards Kevin & Family
If you’re anxious about leaving your dog with a sitter, Lauren and Ross are the way to go! We had a lovely meet and greet then a trial day with regular updates and pics; and they clearly love just having dogs around and do everything make them (and you!) comfortable. Definitely found our regular sitter we’ve been looking for🥰
Anna and Jorge were extremely accommodating for our 2 year Labrador Bea. Bea can be a bit nervous around new people but they agreed to a meet and greet, walk, and a trial night beforehand so we could make sure Bea was as comfortable as she could be. This was very much appreciated by her pawrents! They also provided regular updates by photos and video.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Rory🩷 From the moment I dropped her off, Beth made me feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout Rory’s stay with lots of photos and videos, which meant so much to me and really put my mind at rest. It was obvious from every update just how happy, relaxed and well looked after Rory was. Rory has had the best time, and it’s clear she treated Rory like her own. You can tell Beth genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and that made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Rory with Beth again, and I know Rory will be excited to go back!🥺 Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my girl. I couldn’t recommend you highly enough❤️
We booked our dog Lucy in with Phoebe for two nights, while we attended our daughter’s graduation. All our communications with Phoebe, ahead of the booking and over the two day stay, were excellent. She was clear, understanding and genuinely interested in getting to know our dog. She looked after our dog perfectly, and we would have no hesitation in asking her to look after Lucy again. Phoebe is a lovely, warm and friendly person. Highly recommended.
This is the first time we have left Rodney with someone who wasn’t a family member and Kerry made us feel at ease straight away. We met up prior to the stay where Rodney and ourselves had a chance to meet Kerry and her partner. We had regular photo updates and Rodney seemed to settle in very quickly. We could not recommend her enough and will most definitely be using Kerry again!
Toby enjoyed his stay with Natasha, he is normally quite a sensitive dog and goes off his food when he’s not with us but he ate his food every night so he obviously felt comfortable. Natasha was very communicative leading up to the booking and even let us do a little meet and greet at her house before hand so that we all felt comfortable.

FAQs for Boarding - Newcastle upon Tyne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newcastle upon Tyne on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 483 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newcastle upon Tyne. 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 North East England 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 .
