About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11 years old and currently have a two-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo in the UK. Alongside caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after both small and large breeds, as well as raising cats and rabbits in my home country. Dogs staying with me will enjoy daily visits to the nearby park, with at least two 30-minute walks or play sessions each day. With the owner’s permission and where it is safe, they can also enjoy off-lead play. I am patient, attentive and always take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and routine, treating every pet as part of my own family. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and at home while their family is away. I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule, and my partner is at home full-time, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. Our usual routine includes three outdoor trips at around 9 am, 3 pm and 8 pm, with walks, playtime, sniffing and games of fetch in the large park just two minutes from our home. Between walks, dogs are free to relax, play and spend time with us at home. We also do our best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine, so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable and at home. We live in a spacious two-storey house with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play and move around comfortably. A large park is only a one-minute walk from our home, making regular exercise and outdoor time easy. Dogs are not routinely kept in crates, although we can follow their usual crate routine if requested. All guest dogs are welcome on the sofa, and dogs under 30 kg may sleep on the bed with the owner’s permission. We carefully follow all care instructions and make sure every dog is well supervised throughout their stay. I also keep detailed records of your dog’s daily routine and wellbeing, including their meals, walks, toilet habits, mood, behaviour and any other important changes, so you can easily keep track of how they are doing. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout the stay, together with detailed status updates, so you’ll always know your dog is safe, happy and having fun. Photos are shared in a way that allows owners to easily view and save them as lovely memories of their dog’s stay.
“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 ⭐️”
“Louise has been wonderful for my puppy Áine. She has been excited to go to daycare and comes home happy and relaxed after each happy day. She has especially enjoyed the freedom to roam and play in the garden. She is returning for another week and I am sure she will have another lovely time. Louise understands the needs of younger puppies and has given mine a great time.”
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
“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!”
“Joanna was just perfect: our little chap was a bit off form the day we had to leave him but Joanna was very patient, friendly and professional and we were able to enjoy our day in town worry free and with confidence! See you next time and thank you!”
“Our 6 month old Westie stayed with Barbara for 4 days (day care) and was looked after really well. She seemed to really enjoy. Updates Amanda communication from Barbara were excellent.”
“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.”
“Kateryna was wonderful with our dog Arty and really helped at short notice! She kept me informed throughout the day with updates and pictures which was much appreciated. Arty was a happy and tired doggy at the end of the day. I would definitely rely on Kateryna for future Arty needs! Five stars!!!!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!!”
“Fantastic sitter - so happy with Jessica. She made both dogs feel completely at home. Felt at ease with her straight away and could tell she genuinely loves dogs. So reassuring and took great care of my two nervous little noodles xx”
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. 🐶❤️ 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.
“Laura and Leandro are a lovely couple who took great care of Mabel! They kept me updated on how Mabel was doing with messages, photos and videos and are very responsive. Mabel got on well with their dog Sindy and I am happy to book Mabel in again with Laura and Leandro☺️”
About: I love looking after all pets. Neighbours have relied on me to walk their dogs weekly. I have regularly looked after my sister’s Labrador including feeding, walking and playing with her. I have looked after dogs, young to senior, overnight and always ensure the dogs are happy and well rested. I currently work in a hospital Monday - Friday, 8 - 4, and my fiancé, Matt works from home most days meaning your pup can be well looked after all day and night! I love to go for walks and runs. Living near a park means your pup can have a good run around and long walks and finish the night off with cuddles on the sofa! We live in an open first floor flat with a small fenced off yard. We will always ensure your dog is happy with plenty of treats in the cupboards.
About: I’ve had cats, hamsters and chickens for 10 years and then a gorgeous cockerpoo that I trained from a pup for the last 10 years. Previously lived on a farm as a child so have always been in the company of animals. I work remotely and have flexibility with my role so I am able to care for pets whilst in the comfort of my own home. I walk at least twice a day and live round the corner from a big park. Plus we’re right by the quayside. We have a ground floor duplex apartment in Ouseburn it’s not part of an apartment building so we have our own front door into the courtyard and a balcony. I live close to a big park and am able to take pets out as and when they need to go outside for walks etc. it’s a very spacious 2 story duplex.

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!
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.

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 .
