About: We're a caring, fun-loving couple who have both grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. We have a spacious home with a secure back garden, giving your dog plenty of space to play and relax safely. We're both very active, so your dog will enjoy lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We'll treat every pet like they're our own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while they're with us. We're available for weekend boarding and will tailor your dog's care to their individual needs. Whether they enjoy long walks and plenty of exercise or prefer a slower pace, we'll make sure they're comfortable and happy. Your dog will be our main focus, receiving lots of attention, care, and affection throughout their stay. Our house has a spacious, secure rear garden where your dog can play and take toilet breaks. The nearby area has long country lanes and fields within walking distance for dog walks.
About: We’re not here to make money, we’re here because we genuinely love having dogs around, which is why we’ve set our prices as low as the app allows. My partner and I recently moved back from Australia. While we were there, we couldn’t have our own dog because of the long term commitment, so we used a similar dog sitting platform instead. We looked after lots of wonderful dogs, and many owners came back to us time and time again whenever they needed a sitter. We both grew up with family dogs, so having one to care for again was something we really enjoyed. For us, dog sitting is the best of both worlds, we get to give your dog plenty of love, attention and care while you’re away, and you get the peace of mind that they’re with people who genuinely enjoy having them around. We’re not trying to turn this into a business. We simply love spending time with dogs, and we think that shows in the care we give. :) Since arriving back from overseas i Lloyd have a long wait before I am cleared to rejoin my job so at the present time I’m home full time and Emma my partner is working evenings for now so your dog will never be left alone at all. We have a large open planned 2 bedroom house that boasts a huge back garden that is fully fenced off. We are happy to care for all sized dogs as well as having more than 1 if needed. The dogs will have full access to the house and garden and will have the best care possible!
“Hannah looked after my 11-week-old puppy for two days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As it was my first time leaving such a young puppy with a dog sitter, I was a bit anxious, but Hannah put me completely at ease from the moment we met. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear that my puppy was well cared for and in safe hands the entire time. I’ve already booked with her again for a few weeks time, I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lauren and her partner were great with Stevie. She arranged a last minute meet and greet to reassure us and was very flexible with drop off/pick up times. Stevie had a great day, made herself at home and enjoyed her walks and cuddles. Lauren gave us updates throughout the day. We would use definitely use Lauren again and recommend to others ⭐️”
“Jessica and Sam were lovely with my nervous rescue Taco and she warmed to them very quickly. We did a day of daycare to help her get comfortable with Jessica and Sam in their home before the overnight boarding we have booked next month. It went really well - they stuck closely to the management we do when out on a walk to keep her reactivity in check which was great. Jessica provided very responsive communication and was super easy to deal with. I'm feeling confident that Taco will be very well cared for when she boards for a weekend next month.”
“My 5-month old whippet puppy, Henderson, spent the day with Pheobe when I had to go into work and he obviously had a great time! He’s come home a happy and tired boy - the sign of a good day! Pheobe sent pics and an update during the day which was great for peace of mind. Really appreciate the care given to Henderson today, and both myself and him look forward to his next doggy daycare - thanks Pheobe!!”
“Louise was fabulous with our little pup Dilly. She took fantastic care of her, out for plenty of walks and provided us with updates and photos! She enjoyed it so much she’s going back for more this evening!”
“Alla has been amazing with our dog for daycare for the last couple of weeks. We get great of updates of how he is doing along with amazing photos/videos throughout the day. Alla has also been incredibly flexible to work around our schedule, along with picking him up/dropping him off. I would highly recommend for daycare!”
“Thank you for looking after Fezziwig today. He had a lovely time and was excited to see you again. Thanks for all your care and special attention. See you soon again hopefully.”
“Jess was excellent from the first message all the way to pick up time. She treated Piper like her own & kept me updated with lots of pictures throughout the day. Piper looked like she had a great day with her!”
“Griffin had a great time with Laura and Leandro, it was his first time being minded and he seemed to enjoy it. We were sent photos and updates, and they were very accommodating with our late notice booking. Would definitely reccomend! :)”
“This was the first time that we had ever left Jasper in doggy day care. We could not have been more pleased. Rosalind and Charles were the ideal carers - experienced, calm and reassuring. We feel that Jasper had the best experience and we were kept informed with how well he was settling in, with a photo which put our minds at rest. We would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you!”
“Kateryna is fantastic. Great communication from the first message right until picking Leo up. She took the time for a meet and greet and to understand Leo’s needs and routine. She kept us up to date throughout the day of his activities and sent us photos which definitely put us at ease. He had a wonderful time with Kateryna, thank you! Would 100% recommend anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Brooke is the most loving person that I have come across, she looked after my boy so well, that when I picked him up - he had a permanent smile on his face. Thanks Brooke 💜”
“Milo had a fantastic day with Alex and his dog Kaia, we received plenty of updates, videos and photos throughout the day which kept us at ease knowing he was settling in well! Alex was extremely responsive and clearly communicated throughout the booking process and whilst Milo was at his house, giving us an early update to reassure us he was all good! He obviously had a great time as he’s been fast asleep since we got home didn’t want to leave when picking him up. Thanks so much Alex, Milo will be visiting again for sure!”
“Charlotte was very professional throughout the start process, she was very accommodating of our shifts to make sure both of us were there for the meet and greet, she asked every question to make sure Max was getting the same love, attention and training in her home as he would get at his own. Max had a fantastic day with Charlotte, doing everything he would do at home and more, no change to his routine and Charlotte sent plenty of pictures and videos through out, we would definitely use again because we are using Charlotte again!”

John was responsive and communicative, however Bramble & John's household didn't gel and John was transparent and clear about the reasons why, which is appreciated. I'd recommend John to dog owners with pets 3 years upwards, and no terrier/high energy dogs for the type of environment and expectations for doggy day care that John can provide.
Joanna was brilliant with Milo, extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times! Kept us up to date throughout the day with plenty of photos and videos too! Milo had plenty of playtime with Joanna’s dogs toys and as well as lots of exercise on lovely walks! For the second consecutive day, Milo was so excited to return! Would definitely recommend!
Can't thank Lauren enough, very thorough and clearly loves dogs. Met prior to go through any questions and to meet Fable, she asked all the right questions and made sure I was aware of the plans regarding walks (where, when on lead/long line). Her home is clean, tidy and smelled amazing. She put me at ease about leaving my pup. Updates/photos were sent throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again, and would 100% recommend! 🐾
Evangelia clearly loves dogs and our 10 year old lab Oscar was immediately very happy and relaxed with her. Evangelia offered us a meet and greet the day before which we were very grateful for. We were able to enjoy our son's graduation without worrying about Oscar. We would definitely recommend Evangelia!!
Maia was absolutely fantastic in caring for Mabel. Her communication is excellent, she put me at ease and sent lots of updates and photos throughout the day. Mabel had lots of cuddles and fun and enjoyed going for walks. Mabel had a brilliant day with Maia and I highly recommend her!
We were really nervous to leave our 3.5 month old puppy with someone for the first time but Niamh was brilliant and looked after him so well. He came home so happy and it was lovely seeing pics of him throughout the day going on little outings, playing and relaxing! Thoroughly recommend!
Holly was absolutely fantastic. Dexter was excited to arrive each dat and relaxed after he left. She went above and beyond to ensure he had adequate stimulation, care and exercise. Holly also communicated professionally with me and attended reliably. I highly recommend her and will be rebooking her right away for the future, assuming she has availability.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Newcastle upon Tyne on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 469 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Newcastle upon Tyne. About 89% 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Newcastle upon Tyne commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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.
