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.
“Jessica is a lovely, warm and friendly person and has an obvious love and enthusiam for dogs. Our dog Dexter had an overnight stay with Jessica when we visited Gateshead and he had a wonderful time, going for walks and making friends with Jessica's own dog. We had great communication before and during Dexter's stay. As we left Dexter was virtually hugging Jessica goodbye! I'm only sorry we live so far away as I would use Jessica on a regular basis and will do so if we visit the area again, I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Janir took Ozzy at short notice which so grateful for. I was nervous about leaving him, but I immediately felt at ease by warmth and good vibes. Appreciated updates & photographs of Ozzy which also helped enormously. I would 100% recommend Janir, and will absolutely have no qualms about booking with her again. Ozzy enjoyed his stay! I am so grateful & appreciative of her help and kindness. Thank you!”

About: I have two cocker spaniels at home and before this I’ve always had cats in the house. I am used to feeding, walking and bathing them. I miss them dearly since moving to Newcastle and would love the company of some fury friends! I currently work in the office two days a week and at home three days a week but have a flexible schedule and can alter this when needed! Your pets are part of the family so safely and trust plays the most important role in keeping both you and I happy! I will treat your pets like my own… loved, cared for and probably a bit too spoilt!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Having grown up with both cats and dogs I'm confident in caring for pets of different ages, sizes and personalities. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me to look after their pets while they're away, whether that's feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe and happy. I'm patient, reliable and caring, and I'll treat your pets with the same love and attention I'd give my own. As a freelancer working from home, I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate pet care during weekdays as well as evenings and weekends. This means I can provide regular walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime and companionship, while giving your pet plenty of attention and sticking to their usual routine as much as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, and there's a large open field just a short walk away that's perfect for exercise and play. I'll always follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medication, training and any specific instructions, so they feel safe, happy and at home while in my care.

About: Hi I am Millie, I have grown up with dogs and cats all of my life and before moving away to Newcastle for university I had 3 dogs and a cat. I love animals and would love to help out friends and family members whenever they were going away or needing some support by looking after any of their pets! I am not in a position to have my own pet at the moment but I think this is an amazing alternative and would love to be involved. While I currently work full time during the week as a trainee solicitor I am available from friday evening to late on sunday to look after any animals! I have lived in Newcastle for 5 years now after moving here for university and fallen in love with the city. I would love to have a pet of my own but see this as the perfect opportunity during the weekends to look after someone else animal and care for them! I have a fenced garden with a locked gate and plenty of space in my 4 bedroom house. My garden space is enough for any size dog and I am also close to a large field

About: I grew up with a golden labrador who was the absolute centre of our family (miss her heaps), she lived until she was 13 and had some complex medical issues so I am also comfortable with older dogs and administering medication. I have experience looking after friends’ dogs (of all ages) too, so I am really confident I can give your pet the attention they need. I work from home 3 days a week, your dog will have full range of our open plan kitchen diner and reasonable garden so regular toilet breaks are never an issue. I can offer an hours walk on my lunch break too. In the week I would struggle with super super active dogs that need constant stimulation just because of work, (this is fine on the weekend!) so more looking for a dog that can settle and curl up on my office chair kind of pup whilst I work in the week days. I work from home 3 days a week, your dog will have full range of my open plan kitchen diner (and reasonable size garden) - regular toilet breaks are never an issue. I can offer up to an hours walk on my lunch break too (longer on weekends!) In the week I would struggle with super super active dogs that need constant stimulation just because of work, (this is fine on the weekend!) so more looking for a curl up on my office chair/lower maintenance whilst I work in the week days. I am an active person that love walkings, love going to the beach so confident I can give your dog the exercise they need! Equally if it’s just a case of playing in the garden for a short time I would love to have them. I have a fenced decent sized garden and no current dogs of my own so all the attention would be on your dog! Your dog would sleep downstairs in the open kitchen/ living room. Super happy for you to come and have a look at the space. I will tailor to your dogs individual schedule and exercise/ meal times - really flexible :)
“We booked Lola in with Chrysi for 3 days, before she stayed over Chrysi invited us to her home for a chance to meet and for her to meet Lola. When we dropped Lola off to stay, she ran in and made herself comfortable straight away. Chrysi provided us with pictures and videos throughout Lola’s stay. We will definitely use Chrysi again and we know Lola would happily stay again too!”

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.
“Lauren was very accommodating especially with my loose timeframes which was very helpful and very much appreciated! Ralphy had a good stay and got to interact with another dog which definitely helped his own anxiety of being left! Lauren helped my own anxiety by sending updates over text and was super nice throughout! Would hugely recommend to everyone 😁”

“Kim was so lovely and she took great care of Crumpet ❤️ Crumpet came home happy so she clearly had a great stay ! She also got on well with Kim’s dogs! Would definitely re book x”

“Our Airedale terrier Nora had a great time with Alla, drop off was very straightforward. We got regular updates including their trip to the seaside. Nora was very happy and well exercised when we collected her. Would definitely use Alla again.”

“Amy looked after peanut for the weekend for me and he had the best time! She gave me regular updates and he was very well cared for and treated like their own! Would highly recommend Amy and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy!”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Rory🩷 From the moment I dropped her off, Beth made me feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout Rory’s stay with lots of photos and videos, which meant so much to me and really put my mind at rest. It was obvious from every update just how happy, relaxed and well looked after Rory was. Rory has had the best time, and it’s clear she treated Rory like her own. You can tell Beth genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and that made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Rory with Beth again, and I know Rory will be excited to go back!🥺 Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my girl. I couldn’t recommend you highly enough❤️”

“We were really happy to leave our Irish Terrier with Ros and Charles and will happily do so again. Their knowledge and understanding of dogs shines through and they were very happy to discuss Pogues needs/quirks with us in detail. Pogue came home very happy and relaxed. Playing chase with Ros and relaxing with Charles clearly suited him!”

“Dax had the best time at Rachel's again. Whenever he stays there we can honestly just relax and not worry about him as we get loads of updates and can tell he's loving life.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn't be happier with Freya and the day care team looking after our Cavapoo puppy Alfie! From start to finish, the care and attention was outstanding — he was clearly having the best time. They took him on lots of walks throughout the day, sent us loads of gorgeous photos, and even a full day care diary so we knew exactly what he'd been up to. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alfie came home happy and worn out (in the best way!). Can't recommend Freya highly enough — we'll absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾❤️

Andrew is a great sitter. This was the first time Pesto stayed with Andrew, and we will definitely leave Pesto with Andrew again, in fact, we already have another stay booked. Andrew kept us updated and sent us photos of Pesto. Thanks Andrew for taking such good care of Pesto.

Jessica and Sam took fantastic care of Suzy while we were away for a week. Communication was great, we had a meet and greet beforehand and we could tell Suzy would be in good hands. During her stay we had regular updates with photos so we could see she was having a lovely time. We'll definitely be booking again in future :)

Jake was a great with our senior girl Amaya who he cared for while we were in town for the Great North Run. He was communicative-keeping us updated with pictures and clarifying any queries that came up. Amaya was well in herself and seemed to really enjoy the local park by his house. We would happily have him look after Amaya in future. Thanks again Jake!

Rebecca was absolutely amazing! I had asked for updates through the stay for Leia and Rebecca delivered! She sent me multiple pictures and videos which gave me such peace of mind! I’d let Leia go back in a heart beat! Rebecca is so kind and lovely her overall presence makes you feel at ease! Thank yous so much for looking after our little girl x

We can highly recommend Caitlin and Max as dog boarder and carers , what a lovely couple. We were able to have a little pre stay visit, and got a warm reassuring welcome ❤️❤️❤️ Our greyhound Donna settled straight into their home . Caitlin was great with communication and updates about Donna ….putting our minds at ease ,during our time away We will definitely be requesting Caitlin via Rover again .

Milena was the best sitter we ever come across. Caring, thoughtful and very knowledgeable with regards to variety dog breeds and their specific needs. She looked after Bruce for two weeks and he was so happy and well looked after. He had a great time with Milo too playing and going for walkies even enjoying baths. The communication was also excellent and we received regular updates and photos. We would highly recommend Milena and we are booking Bruce's stays with her soon!

Janir took Ozzy at short notice which so grateful for. I was nervous about leaving him, but I immediately felt at ease by warmth and good vibes. Appreciated updates & photographs of Ozzy which also helped enormously. I would 100% recommend Janir, and will absolutely have no qualms about booking with her again. Ozzy enjoyed his stay! I am so grateful & appreciative of her help and kindness. Thank you!

Christina’s nephew Panos who was helping her during Coco’s stay did a fantastic job of looking after her. He was super kind and caring and sent frequent updates during her stay to let us know how she was getting on. We did a meet and greet ahead to ensure Coco got on well with Apollo (Christina’s lovely, amiable, black lab) which she did, and so it was also lovely to know and see she had great doggy company too. Thanks for taking good care of our Coco. 👍🏻🙏🏻

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
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.
