“From our 1st meeting, we thought Anastasiia was the right fit for our dog! It turned out to be a great choice as our small dog took a likeing to her straight away! He experienced lots of playing, walks and kind hugs! We were updated throughout the whole time away from home with lots of pictures and videos. Anastasiia is highly recommended!”

About: 🐾 About Me I have a 2+ year old Golden Retriever, so I have hands on experience caring for dogs and understanding their daily needs. I’m responsible, patient and safety conscious, with experience handling feeding, walks, playtime, grooming and keeping up with routines. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 I’m currently a full time student, so my schedule can vary depending on classes. I’m generally available outside of class hours, including evenings and weekends, and I’ll make sure to set aside plenty of time for your pet’s walks, playtime and care. I’m very safety conscious and will always keep your pet’s wellbeing as my priority. I’m experienced with dogs through caring for my own 2+ year old Golden Retriever. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions and specific needs carefully, while providing a safe, calm and loving environment.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a baby. Growing up my grandparents also owned parrots, bunnies, dogs of all sizes, cats, tortoises, fish, you name it…my parents always had dogs and cats. I also owned a dog for 11 years. I feel most comfortable around animals :) Being an older sister of 3, I grew up being the responsible one, caretaker and I’d also walk the dogs, train them, feed them and help my parents in any way I could. When I adopted my first own dog, I learned how much love I have to give and how much responsibility it takes to look after a furbaby. He was very anxious and reactive, so it was 11 years of learning and challenges, but he was the sweetest and goodest boy, right up until the end. I’m currently working full-time. For now I’m looking to combine my love for animals and building up a side income during my free time. I’m happy to look after and walk your pets during my free time on the weekends. I can drive which allows me to get to places a bit further out. I cannot have pets in my own home sadly. However, I’m happy to come in and check on your kitten or pooch while you’re away. I can also pet sit if needed and play with, feed and walk your dogs. I can also train and teach your dog (or cat, if they feel like it haha) some tricks. Work on their confidence by using gentle rewards and lots of patience on their walks. I have experience with reactive dogs and I know how important it is to maintain comfort and special care for the sensitive pups.

“Katie is lovely, we had a couple of meets before our holiday so she could meet our 3 dogs, she was always on time, very tidy,in fact the house was cleaner when we got back, got regular photos of the dogs playing games and having cuddles, we would not hesitate to book Katie again to look after our fur babies.”

“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!”

“Amazing sitter! Our little Bobby has been struggling since our other dog passed away. He has been very nervous and fearful being left so we worry each time we have to leave him with someone while we are at work. We didn’t need to worry at all! Joanna was such a ray of sunshine! Bobby absolutely loved her and was so relaxed when I got back. We can’t wait to use her again! ❤️❤️”

“She did a fantastic job looking after the boys. She was really caring and attentive, kept us updated regularly, and it was lovely to see how much they took to her. We’d definitely recommend her and use her again!”

“Absolutely fantastic! Went away for 2 weeks and our dog misha was well looked after! We couldn’t be any happier! Got updates and pictures of misha which was great, will definitely be using corinne again! Highly recommend”


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: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and I naturally tune in to their needs. Following the loss of my own dog, Molly, in January, pet sitting allows me to keep spending my time doing what I love. Based in Jesmond, I make the most of our local green spaces—whether that is walking through Jesmond Dene, the Ouseburn Valley, or heading over to Exhibition Park and the Town Moor. I focus on positive reinforcement and enrichment. I am experienced in loose lead training to keep walks calm and enjoyable, and I am currently completing formal qualifications to build on my professional training skills. Dog Walking: Tailored to your dog’s energy level, from active, sniffing-filled park adventures to gentle, steady strolls. Drop-In Visits: Ideal for feeding, water top-ups, garden toilet breaks, playtime, or company during the day. House Sitting (Thursday–Saturday): Overnight stays in your home so your pets stay relaxed in familiar surroundings. I am tidy, respectful, and keep communication clear with regular photo and video updates. I work part-time, which gives me brilliant flexibility throughout the rest of the week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. On my working days (Thursday & Friday), I can easily accommodate early morning or evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight house sitting. Outside of those days, my schedule is completely dedicated to pet care, giving your dogs plenty of focused time, exercise, and company. As a responsible homeowner, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. During house sits and drop-ins, I strictly follow your existing household rules, security routines, and feeding schedules to keep your dog feeling secure. I maintain full control on walks using secure leads, stick to safe, familiar routes, and ensure all gates and doors are firmly locked. I also send regular photo and status updates so you know your home and pets are in safe hands.
“When Louise came over to first meet buddy, he instantly warmed up to her, which is unusual as he can be quite nervous around new people. She kept me updated with how buddy was doing and helped to make the whole experience easy. I will definately be using her services again, and im sure buddy cant wait!”


“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!”

“First time anxiously leaving our Mack with a dog sitter. How lucky we got finding Pablo. What a gent who genuinely had Mack’s best interests at heart. Listened to everything we said about his behaviours and both seemed to enjoy one another’s company. Confidently let him explore off lead in on his favourite walks. We both felt 💯 confident that Mack was safe and well. When he said he would look after him like his own, he truly did. Couldn’t be happier with Pablo and highly recommend. Thanks Pablo. You’re a Star 🌟”

“I honestly can’t rate Dominic highly enough. He’s a genuine treasure - and finding him has been a literal Godsend. I’ve been looking for the perfect doggie friend to look after my three darlings in my own home as I need to go away regularly to visit my dear elderly Dad - and can’t feasibly take a Doberman and two lively terriers dogs on public transport from Manchester to Surrey! Dominic is even nicer in person than on his profile. He is very personable, warm, calm and professional - and his love of animals is immediately evident. I took my youngest doggie (a loveable, very boisterous terrier boy with some behavioural challenges…) along for an initial meet-up with Dom a couple of weeks before his stay. Within a few minutes of his arrival, my little one had jumped up and across the table to get into Dom’s arms for an enthusiastic cuddle :) I felt completely confident leaving Dom in charge of my home and little creatures when I set off to my Dad’s for four nights - and I was right to do so. Regular texts, photos or videos arrived each day (the dogs clearly enjoying themselves too much with their new friend to be missing me at all!) - and on my return I found them on excellent form, calm and happy. And Dom is so tidy that it didn’t look like anyone had been staying here! It was such a relief and comfort to be able to concentrate on my Dad knowing that my doggies were being so well-loved and cared for in my absence. I (and the dogs!) hope to be able to have Dom back here regularly. Thank you again, Dom! Love from your new top fans Margaux, Hattie and Rupert :)”

“Volume looked after my two older dogs for the weekend. She was professional from the first meeting and the dogs were well looked after and happy and settled with her. She took great care of our house too. Would highly recommend.”
“Vlada was great with our old cat. She sent me news and pictures every day (and also few videos). She kept our place clean which I really appreciated. I will ask Vlada again if I need someone to take care of our cat.”

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.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Newcastle upon Tyne
Great communication with Tara from the start. She came for a pre visit to meet Walter and Lyra. Very caring and affectionate towards them. Sent lots of updates and pictures whilst we were away which we really appreciated! Walter and Lyra were super relaxed when we returned. House was left immaculate!

Natasha has been amazing. She was very dedicated to Teddy and was very communicative with us as this was our first time away from him. We had some lovely updates and photos and knew Teddy was in safe hands for the whole weekend. She already has a lovely bond with him. We would definitely hire Natasha again and recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter as she clearly adores animals.

Jo was fantastic with our dog Benji, who cant be left alone due to separation anxiety. He warmed to her straight away and i received lots of photos through the night of him relaxing on her knee having a cuddle. Jo has 2 gorgeous dogs of her own so she knows how to look after others. I will absolutely trust Jo with Benji again. She has been a terrific find !

Amazing! We have just adopted a puppy and needed someone to look after him and my other dog while we were both at work today. Charlotte was great, took everything in her stride and wasn’t phased at all by anything. To be able to look after a 10 week old puppy with no complaints is amazing! She was so lovely and kind and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much for today ❤️❤️

Pablo went over and beyond to ensure my dogs was happy and safe and healthy while in his care both my dogs absolutely loves Pablo and I’ll most definitely be booking Pablo again Pablo took pictures every single day and they had they most bestest time Iv been really lucky to have found an amazing dog sitter I’d rate Pablo 10*+ awesome sitter

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!

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.
