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.

Amazing with Tilly who was initially nervous on her walk, understood her needs and provided a longer second walk after having to cut the first one short. Provided extra care by feeding her lunch. Was given access to a key to my house, trustworthy and reliable! Would 100% recommend, very professional service!

About: Since i was 9 i have always been brought up around dogs and for the past few years i have looked after many of my family members dogs while they have been on holidays. I also worked in a doggy day care for 2 years. Current just got my own house with my boyfriend so I will be free a lot of the time to take dogs in to look after while their owners are away. My home is a few minutes walk away from the rising sun country park! A great place for dogs to have fun and get tired out! I work from home through the week and my only day in the office is on a Monday. My work is pretty flexible so will have a lot of time to walk the dogs. I have a fenced back garden for the dogs to go out and play on as-well as a few good walk spots near by. I am willing to take the dogs out for as many walks as required.

About: I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember and been around them since day 1. I am an animal management graduate who has been around a multitude of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and exotics. I also have experience working with larger animals such as farm animals and horses. I have some experience working in a pet store, a petting zoo and horse riding school. I am also currently teaching myself to do basic dog grooms with an aim of going back to school to earn certification in dog grooming. Currently, I have 2 cats, a male named Stanley and a female named Stella who are my whole life. I also regularly visit my parents who have 4 cats (2 of which are Stella's brothers), 2 Pugs, a Cocker x Springer Spaniel, 2 rabbits, an African Grey and a Horsefield tortoise, so I do have regular contact with other animals and am always excited to meet new ones. I am currently self-employed and run a business offering pet services so am typically available for any requests and enquiries. I will always try my best to stick to your typical schedule/routine in order to keep your family as happy and comfortable as possible. The safety of your pet, home and yourself is of the utmost importance to me. I am DBS checked for your peace of mind as well as having insurance. Upon our initial meet and greet, I aim to take as much information about your pet and routine as possible so that I can get an idea of their character and needs to better create a plan that suits all involved. In regards to dog walks, you can opt to use your own leads or one of mine, however, please note that due to the safety issues associated with them, I do not use retractable leads.

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

About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with basic obedience, lead training, socialisation, feeding routines and daily care. Friends, neighbours and family regularly trust me to look after their pets, whether that’s walking, feeding, playing, administering routine care or providing companionship while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, and I always focus on creating a safe, positive and enjoyable experience for every pet. I understand the importance of consistency, patience and clear communication when caring for animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have owned two dogs throughout my life, so I understand the responsibility, patience and love that comes with caring for them. I know that every dog has a different personality, routine and needs, and I would take the time to understand these and make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable and happy in my care. I have recently finished Sixth Form and received my A Level results, and I am now looking to turn my passion for dogs into a long-term career. I am caring, reliable, patient and eager to learn, and I would treat every dog as if they were my own. For me, dog walking and sitting is more than just a job — it is something I genuinely love and am passionate about building my future around. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and care. I’m reliable, responsive and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. Having owned and trained two dogs myself, I understand the importance of routine, patience and positive reinforcement. I follow any instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements and medication needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure and comfortable at all times, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own pets.

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.

Phoebe has walked our dog Scampi a number of times now. She has been reliable and trustworthy, and has managed Scampi's reactivity. Phoebe has also helped us out at short notice a few times which has been great. Would certainly recommend.

About: I have recently finished my Animal Science degree at Newcastle University and am currently awaiting my final results.

Alongside my studies, I have been working part time at Hurworth Burn Luxury Pet Hotel, gaining hands on experience caring for dogs in a professional setting. My responsibilities include supervising walks, assisting with bathing and administering medication, monitoring behaviour and wellbeing, maintaining clean living areas and meeting each dog's individual feeding and care needs.

I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have previous experience as a dog walker and cat sitter. I have grown up with multiple animals in the home and trained my family dog to pass his therapy dog exams last year. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to entertain your pets! I am also on a very flexible schedule so can adapt if your pets have any special requirements or if I am needed to be there for constant care. I have two cats in my own home so I am unable to house pets in my house as I don’t want to cause them or your own pet any undue stress!

Depending on our play off run, I attend games on the weekend so I can be flexible! I care for every pet like they're my own, ensuring doors are always closed and secure. Expect plenty of walks and activities to keep your pet happy and engaged while in my care. I describe myself as Punctual, active, patient and outgoing, dedicated to building trust with pets and their owners.

About: Dogs have always been a special part of my life. I grew up around my grandmother’s dog, Kelli, who was with our family for over 13 years. Caring for her taught me patience, responsibility and how important it is to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs. After recently losing her, I would love to continue spending time with dogs and give them the same care, attention and affection I gave her. I am a master’s student with a flexible schedule, mainly available from Thursday to Sunday. I have been living in Newcastle for three years now, so I can easily fit dog walking around my studies and am flexible throughout the day on my available days. For walks, I prefer safe and enjoyable routes, especially parks, green spaces and quieter areas where dogs can relax and explore. I always follow the owner’s instructions and take each dog’s personality, energy level and comfort into account. My priority is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable and well cared for throughout the walk.

Jessica and Sam were absolutely brilliant with Kiki, gentle and asked considered questions about her care. Kiki had a great walk and fell straight asleep after. Clearly felt very comfortable ahead of her house stay. A huge thank you to both for helping us feel at ease and giving Kiki the cuddles she clearly deserves 🤣

Hilbert really liked her and was very happy spending time with her and walking with her. We would love to book with her again on her next availability. Thank you 🙏🏻

FAQs for Dog Walking - Newcastle upon Tyne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Newcastle upon Tyne on Rover is £13.8 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 828 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Newcastle upon Tyne. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Newcastle upon Tyne. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk 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.

Every walker 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 .

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.

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 walker.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 828 Walkers in Newcastle upon Tyne, 42% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
