About: I have taken care of my sisters and daughters dogs in the past. I have my own dog at the moment. So still reading books and learning about dogs. I am working from home . I am dressmaker. Self- employed. So I have plenty time for long walks and cuddles with my own dog. Mollie is small cockapoo. Very friendly and loving with another dogs and cats. I am living in two bedroom flat with big living room. A lot of space. There is park near and riverside. Also we travel to the beach. Never left alone. Make sure your pet is secure and safe in my house. On the walks I will make sure your pet are kept safely on the leash. After walks will clean the dog.
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
“Anna and her partner Alex were fabulous, Scout had a great time with them! Scout is a high energy pup and they were great with him. Very understanding of his bad puppy habits and offered great insight and support working with me, am 100% a return customer, thanks again!”
“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!”
About: I absolutely love animals and have grown up around them - having a cat, a horse, and now two dogs (a Fox Terrier and a Jack Russell x Pug). I’m a friendly, bubbly person who is responsible and reliable, with regular experience dog sitting and walking both young and older dogs. This has helped me build confidence in handling different temperaments, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I enjoy playing with them, going on walks, and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m also lucky to have a park right outside my house, so your pets would get lots of fresh air and exercise. As a university student, I have a flexible routine that fits really well around pet care. I’m used to planning my schedule, so I can prioritise walks, feeding times, and giving pets plenty of attention throughout the day and nights. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great balance alongside my studies, so I’m always happy to build my routine around their needs. In my home: I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, always keep the owners updated, while also monitoring their pet’s behaviour to ensure they’re happy and healthy. In an owner’s home: I respect the owner’s space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding, walks, and any medication are given on time, keep the home tidy, and I always give regular updates for peace of mind. I focus on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment, giving them lots of care, attention, and consistency.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life growing up with, looking after and training two Labradors who have both been anxious with other dogs. I am a friendly individual who will make sure that dogs feel safe and comfortable while on walks and in my home. I am highly capable of looking after both young and old, small and big dogs and will cater to each and every need:) I have just finished my final year of university and am staying in Newcastle for two more months so have plenty of free days. I love going on walks and getting out of the house and would love to be a new (second) best friend for your pet! I live in a maisonette where we have looked after dogs on three separate occasions with sufficient space in the living room and easy access to a nearby park. I will ensure that there are no harmful and chewable objects around. There are no other dogs in this house so my full attention will be given to your pet:)
“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.”
“Dylan stays with Alla once or twice a week and really enjoys his time there. Alla is very patient and understanding as he is an elderly dog with some health concerns and even helps with medication. I often have to carry Dylan out when I collect him now as he just loves being there. 😅 would recommend!”
“Aviral and Gayatri took excellent care of Mabel. I received lots of lovely photos and messages updating me on how her day was going. Mabel had a fun time and was well cared for.”
About: What distinguishes me from other sitters is the level of personal care and love I provide to each creature. I treat each dog and cat as if they were my own, ensuring that they are secure, happy, and well-cared for. I'm dependable, adaptable, and take the time to understand each pet's own routine and personality. Whether it's long walks, extra fun, or simply quiet hugs, I go above and beyond to ensure that both pets and owners are entirely comfortable. As a student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. This means I can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day, whether it’s playtime, walks, or just making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending my breaks with furry friends, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. When caring for pets at my home, I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. I spend plenty of time giving them attention, walks, and cuddles. For pets staying at their owner’s home, I follow their routine closely, making sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for just as they are used to. I’m happy to provide any care the owner requests, as long as I can do it safely and responsibly. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well looked after.
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Great service, provided lots of updates, photos, and walks for our dog. Thanks so much! He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Will definitely book again.”
“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 ⭐️”
“Zosia and her lovely dog Amber were very accommodating, they were both great with Sherpa. Communication has been excellent and Zosia has been really helpful. Would highly recommend!”
“Vlada is an excellent person to take care of your dog. She went above & beyond for Piper. She kept me updated with pictures & ensured Piper was happy & comfortable with her. Will definitely use again.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Polly again, she had a great time! It was much appreciated especially as it was a last minute request. Thank you for the photos too so I could see what she got up to!”

Louise looked after our 6 month old Westie (Bailey). She was very communicative throughout the booking process and during the day. We received lots of updates including photos. Bailey seemed disappointed to leave and came home shattered...a sign of a good day playing and having fun.
Hannah looked after our pup Sadie after we booked with her at short notice. She was extremely quick to respond to contact and was very accommodating to our needs. Sadie had a great day with Hannah. She was clearly well cared for and looked after and returned tired having received plenty exercise. We'd happily book with Hannah again!
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!
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.
Jess came to the rescue when I had a last minute work event while my partner was away. She looked after our 1 year old dog Maple for the day in her home, sending photos and updates throughout. Maple definitely looked right at home with Jess and we’re so grateful for the help! I’d definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for a 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 ⭐️
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.
Tara was the most amazing dog-sitter, I would 100% book her again. My dog, Brenda, is a resuce and has severe separation anxiety. Tara met us prior to the booking to meet Brenda and make sure she was comfortable with her. On the day of the booking Tara was so good at comforting Brenda and building trust. She sent me loads of updates which really put my mind at ease and Brenda had a great time with her.

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

There are 459 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Newcastle upon Tyne. About 90% 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 .
