“Anastasiia was fabulous with my old greyhound who has mobility issues and needs different medications several times a day. She followed care requirements exactly and I returned to a very happy and healthy dog. Kept me updated throughout with photos and videos and I was confident that Ruby was in great hands whilst I was away. Will definitely be calling on Anastasiia for more dog care in the future.”
About: I’ve grew up around rescued dogs, which made me love being around animals and taking care of them. While in the UK I have gained experience in taking care of not only dogs but also cats and parrots. I have a flexible schedule and I’d take any opportunity to be around animals and care for them. I love animals so I would prioritize my customers accordingly for them to feel like their best friends are in safe hands. I care for any pet like it’s my own, because as somebody that grew up with animals around I know the importance of their safety and especially the responsibilities that cone with looking after them!
“Alex was brilliant with my two dogs, they both felt comfortable with her straight away. She was efficient and great at communicating prior to the booking. I got photo updates and knew they were in safe hands :) thank you Alex!”
“As we were a little apprehensive about leaving Tiny our Frenchie, we arranged a meet and greet with Corinne. From first meeting her we knew we had made the right choice. She put both ourselves and Tiny at ease. We were away for 10 days and received daily updates and lots and lots of photos which we really appreciated. As we weren't due back till the early hours Corinne stayed with Tiny As long as she could before leaving. When we arrived home it was obvious that Tiny had been really well looked after and the house was left spotless. Corinne was a god send and a lovely lady. I would recommend her 100% to anyone who needs a pet looking after. She even made sure that we had milk in for a proper cuppa when we got home. How thoughtful.”
“Jessica was a fantastic dog sitter. I felt really at ease knowing my dog was left in such capable hands. She sent regular updates, asked questions rather than just guessing, and truly cared for my dog. I would certainly recommend!”
“Lettie was absolutely brilliant looking after our two flat coats at our house for a weekend (one still an adolescent pup). It was clear from the picture updates that they were really happy and content with her. Ahead of the weekend Lettie met them a couple of times so that she was a familiar face and I think this really helped. If we weren’t moving we would happily book her again! Thanks for taking such good care of them”
“Pablo looked after our two dogs for 2 nights for the second time. Outstanding as always. The dogs were clearly pleased to see him and have settled with him well. Pablo always takes the care and time to keep us updated and looks after them as well as we would. He always goes above and beyond 😊”
“Natalia did a great job with Kiwi. Natalia is great at responding to messages and sending updates. She is also very calm and all the instructions. Kiwi was settled and calm after Natalia left which to me always indicates that her needs were met. Highly recommend Natalia”
“This was the second time Louise looked after Buddy, and yet again she did a brilliant job. She kept us updated daily so we were able to enjoy our weekend break, with confidence that Buddy was in very kind and capable hands. Thanks a million Louise! We will undoubtedly use your services again!”
“Maya is a fantastic pet and house sitter. We are so grateful that Maya could fit us in last minute. Our 2 year old Labrador was in safe hands and very well looked after. Maya gave us plenty of updates while we were away. Would not hesitate to book again!”

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.
About: Lived around cats and dogs all my life, grew up with a staffie and love all types of dogs. Spent time looking after my neighbours dog who was a big labrador who needed medicine regularly. I am currently a personal trainer and swimming teacher. I work unsociable hours so I have time to stop by during the day and at times a normal 9-5 worker can not be home. I am also a car owner. I am not afraid of dogs, I have the ability to put your pet in a crate if needed and can give medicine when required. I can also play with your pet cat or dog with any toys they have. I have my own car which I am the only driver of.
“Aviral and Gayatri came for an introductory meet with beautiful boisterous Buddy and he loved them straightaway. It was my first time leaving Buddy so I was nervous but Aviral and Gayatri are lovely and took great care of him and sent me lovely updates and pictures of Buddy clearly having a great time. With appreciation and many thanks.”
About: I’ve spent over 25 years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior pets with medical needs, I provide patient, reliable, and loving care. Friends, neighbours, and family often trust me to walk, feed, administer medication, and provide companionship while they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own attentive, safe, and stress-free. I’m currently self-employed with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to your pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, check-ins, and boarding during weekdays and most weekends. Whether it’s a quick visit or full-day care, I’ll make sure your furry friend is happy, exercised, and well looked after. I prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety as if they were my own. I provide a calm, structured environment with close supervision. Whether I care for your pet in your home, I follow your instructions closely and ensure a clean, secure space. I’m confident handling pets with medical needs, administering medication, and creating safe routines, even for anxious or senior pets.
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, including my own Shih Tzu, so I understand their needs and personalities deeply. I’m gentle, patient, and great with both playful pups and senior dogs. I focus on comfort, trust, and keeping each dog happy, safe, and loved—just like they deserve. I work part-time on weekends from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., so I’m free most afternoons and weekdays to walk, play, and care for dogs. Spending time with them fits easily into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! I treat every dog as if they were my own. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully—feeding, walking, and playtime just as instructed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, keeping their space clean and cozy while giving them plenty of attention and affection.
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!
About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years and regularly care for them independently, in Newcastle and at home, from a samoyed to a little pomerenian. I’m used to managing daily routines, walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet companionship. I’m a third-year university student at Newcastle, so my schedule is fairly flexible outside of lectures and study time. I am free weekdays and weekends, evenings as well. I’m used to planning my days in advance and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Always down for walks as study breaks (need my 10k steps a day) and spending time at home, which works well for giving dogs consistent attention, care and lots of cuddles (if the dog will be happy). I follow the owner’s schedule very clearly, walking times and house rules to make the dog the most comfortable and secure. I adjust my care depending on the dog’s energy level ( I do usually 1 big walk in the afternoon and 2 small walks in the morning and evening, but depending on the dog). I always try and make the dog as comfortable as possible and make his day as enjoyable and full of activities as the weather allows.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Newcastle upon Tyne is £30
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Newcastle upon Tyne
Pablo looked after my fur babies for a week and truthfully it is the first time in 8 years I have been at ease and haven't worried about leaving them. I received daily updates and they were so comfortable with Pablo, I'm not actually sure if they wanted me back 🤣. Thank you so much, I can't tell you how much we appreciate it!
Anastasiia was fabulous with my old greyhound who has mobility issues and needs different medications several times a day. She followed care requirements exactly and I returned to a very happy and healthy dog. Kept me updated throughout with photos and videos and I was confident that Ruby was in great hands whilst I was away. Will definitely be calling on Anastasiia for more dog care in the future.
This was our first time having Severine over while we were away and the experience went super smooth! Happy to have had her over so I could enjoy my trip knowing the cats were well looked after and safe in the meantime. It was clear that the cats felt comfortable around her! She kept us updated the entire time, followed all the instructions I had, was very communicative, polite and tidy! I came home to very relaxed and happy cats and the flat just as I had left it ♥️ We will definitely be booking her again!
Sophie saved us when our cat sitter cancelled last minute and was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind with the girls and kept us updated with regular photos and messages. She went above and beyond when we had a house emergency while we were away and was able to help us sort it - we are very very grateful! Would absolutely have her back to look after the girls and would recommend her to anyone else!
Such a lovely and friendly girl! Cannot praise her enough! Both doggies were happy and relaxed and she kept me updated. Our older dog had an operation last week so we were worried to leave him but we didn’t need to worry at all! The boys can’t wait to rebook!
I’d never used a cat sitter before, and I’ve had Cassi for 13 years—she’s been my baby since I was in Year 6. When my mum brought her up to Newcastle after my partner and I moved in together, I knew leaving her would be hard, so I was definitely a bit anxious. Katie was fantastic from start to finish. She communicated really well, sent us lovely photos every day, and made me feel completely at ease having her stay with Cassi. When we got back, it was clear Cassi had been happy and settled, which meant everything to me. I’m so grateful for the care she gave her. I’d happily recommend Katie to anyone and would absolutely use her again next time we go away. She also left the house exactly as we’d left it—clean, tidy, and no trouble at all. 5 stars all round!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. I was quite nervous as it was my first time leaving them, but they completely put me at ease from the start. They kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which really reassured me while I was away. It was clear both my dog and cat were being really well looked after and given lots of care and attention. I came home to a spotless house, which was such a lovely touch and really appreciated. Everything felt calm, tidy, and just as I’d left it. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Newcastle upon Tyne walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newcastle upon Tyne choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
