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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through friends and family, including dogs with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’ve also looked after more high-maintenance pets, including an elderly dog with multiple health conditions, which taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and following each pet’s individual routine. I genuinely love animals and take pride in giving every pet plenty of care, attention, and companionship while they’re with me. I’m happy to accommodate individual requirements and routines, and I’m also available for same-day requests when my schedule allows. Whether your pet needs lots of walks and playtime, extra patience and reassurance, or simply a calm and caring companion, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care, including daytime bookings and last-minute requests when I’m available. I’m an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so I’m more than happy to provide dogs with plenty of walks, exercise, playtime, and attention. I’m confident and comfortable around dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s routine and individual needs. My flexible schedule also means I can give your pet plenty of time and attention rather than rushing through a visit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I offer house sitting in your home, allowing your pets to stay in the environment they know and feel comfortable in. I’ve previously cared for multiple dogs in their owners’ homes and understand how important it is to follow their usual routines, house rules, feeding schedules, walks, and individual care requirements. I’m respectful of your home and take the responsibility of caring for both your pets and your space seriously. I aim to provide reliable, attentive, and stress-free care so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in safe and caring hands while you’re away.
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’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.

“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! 🐾”

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 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.
“Our 8 month old spaniel, Bonnie, had a very fun stay with Laura, Leandro and Sindy. We received lots of updates of Bonnie napping, chasing leaves and playing with Sindy! Laura and Leandro are natural dog people and we felt very comfortable leaving Bonnie with them. I would not hesitate to leave her with this lovely couple and would highly recommend them! Thank you, Laura and Leandro!”

“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!!”


About: Hi, I’m Amber! I have two small dogs of my own, and we absolutely adore having other dogs around. I’ve been caring for dogs professionally for over 8 years through my own dog-care business, so your dog will be in experienced and caring hands. I have experience with dogs of all ages and backgrounds, including puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs and dogs with behavioural needs. While I’m not a dog trainer, I’m experienced in managing different personalities and will always follow your instructions and routines to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for. I provide a home-from-home environment where dogs can enjoy plenty of attention, play and enrichment throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, toys, supervised play and plenty of cuddles are all part of their stay. I also have a particular interest in dog nutrition and even enjoy baking homemade dog treats! I’m present in my home throughout the day, so dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. I also hold a Pet First Aid & CPR qualification and have a pet first-aid kit available. As I don’t drive, daycare is available for dogs who live within approximately 2 miles of my home in Gosforth, with owners providing drop-off and collection. Drop-off and collection is available 7am–6pm, Monday–Saturday. I want every dog who stays with me to feel safe, relaxed and genuinely at home. 🐶❤️ Heat and recent surgery: I do not accept dogs who are currently in heat, have recently finished a heat, or are showing signs of coming into heat. I also cannot accept dogs who are currently recovering from a spay or other recent surgery. Please let me know about any recent or upcoming heat cycles or surgery when making an enquiry. I work from home and provide dog care full-time, so I’m able to spend the day caring for the dogs staying with me. I’m present throughout the day and can provide regular toilet breaks, exercise, play, enrichment and attention. My daycare hours are Monday–Saturday, with drop-off and collection between 7am and 6:30pm Dogs staying with me have access to a secure, fenced back garden where they can safely play and explore, as well as a gated front garden with additional plastic-coated garden mesh. I also have two friendly small dogs of my own, so your dog can have company if they are comfortable around other dogs. I always consider each dog’s individual temperament and needs when supervising interactions. I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and have looked after puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs and dogs with behavioural needs. I also hold a Pet First Aid & CPR qualification and keep a pet first-aid kit at home. As I work from home, I am present throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods.
“Kateryna was so friendly and welcoming to our dog, who has some separation anxiety! She sent lots of updates throughout her stay, as well as photos and we really appreciated the kindness she showed towards our dog, so thank you again Kateryna!”

“We are so happy we found Avi and Gayatri. Lady has had a great day packed with fun. We received lots of photos and communication has been excellent. We were a little nervous about leaving Lady as it’s not something we have done before, however a meet and greet really helped and it is clear to see lady has had a great time. We all cant wait for her next visit. Thank you both!”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Newcastle upon Tyne
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.

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!

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 September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 477 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Newcastle upon Tyne. About 88% 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
