About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do, it’s my full-time career and my passion. Because I dedicate all of my time to pet care, every dog receives the attention, exercise and companionship they deserve. I provide a genuine home-from-home environment where your dog will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, play, cuddles and one-to-one care throughout the day. I take the time to get to know each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs, so they feel happy, safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or an overnight stay, you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring, reliable hands. Licence no. 26/02096/ANIBOA This is my full time job so all my attention goes into caring for your pets and I am also very active so able to exercise if required I have a garden with high fencing. I am also very active so can exercise if required. Puppy proofed house as I have a puppy
“Anna has looked after Coheed a few times for me, she regularly updates with some of the best pictures. He is very content and always takes a nap on the way home, which to me is a sign of a happy and worn out doggo!”
“We have a senior dog that didn't have the best start in life and has always had a distrust of people she dosnt know. We have just done a test run and left oliver to look after her for a day. We are amazed that she was so happy and content with a complete stranger. We now can plan other days out knowing our needy dog is being well looked after. Thank you Oliver, we will be booking your services again.”
“Brilliant. We got to meet up with Karen the week before we left splodge with her for the day. She really looked after splodge and adapted her routine to splodge's needs. Will definitely use again. Lovely lady.”
About: I’m an insured and dbs checked dog walker. I worked in a dog groomers so have experience with all breeds of dogs. I had 2 fur babies of my own until recently, sadly they are no longer with me. I believe all dogs should have the run of the house and be treated like family because they are! I’d look after your fur baby like they are my own. I currently work around the school times mostly then once school runs are done I work until evening time. This is everyday apart from weekend, where I am free to look after pets anytime. I have an enclosed garden with a high wall. I would take dogs out for walks twice a day unless otherwise requested or is is too hot. Dogs are allowed the full run of the house and can even sleep on the bed if they wish too. I believe there are part of the family so they get treated exactly like that here. Lots of cuddles, fuss and playtime are given
“Tina was able to help us out with our last minute request Bella. Tina saw quickly that we weren’t local so a meet and greet beforehand wasn’t possible Therefore she suggested a phone call so we were able to introduce ourselves, tell her about Bella and ask any questions. Having had that call with Tina we felt confident that all would be fine. On meeting Tina outside her house our good impressions from the call were immediately confirmed. Tina obviously has a deep love for dogs and knows how to care for them - we wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again if we had a similar need and would recommend her wholeheartedly. Bella enjoyed her time and was very relaxed ..,and we enjoyed talking to Tina and her family..”
“This was Bella's first time with a dog sitter. She seemed to absolutely love spending the day with Luna and Wayne and arrived home ready for bed. Wayne kept me up to date with photos and videos during the day. It was lovely and very reassuring to see Bella and Luna having such fun but also the pics of downtime and cuddles. I would highly recommend Wayne, he was knowledgeable, kind and very attentive to Bella's needs.”
“Sam and her husband Anthony were absolutely fantastic with my little fella, Woody. From the very start they filled me with confidence, introducing Woody to their two lovely furry family members and making him feel right at home. Sam kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, and it was clear to see just how much fun Woody was having. When I collected him, Sam gave me a thoughtful breakdown of their day together, and Woody was happily tired, a sure sign of great care and plenty of playtime. They are genuinely wonderful people who provided even better care for Woody. I’ll definitely be booking with them again, and I highly recommend you do too!”
“Katherine is amazing. We have a 14 week old puppy Ralph who has stayed with Katherine a few times. He absolutely loves it there, I always know he is well looked after and getting lots of fuss. It’s like a home from home for him. I will be continuing to use Katherine to look after Ralph and I highly recommend her. She’s easy to communicate with and also sends you daily photos and updates.”
About: I adore dogs. I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from large dogs like Great Danes, Bloodhounds and Lurchers to smaller breeds such as Chihuahuas and, now, my own French Bulldogs who I co-parent with a family member. So my dogs are with me twice a month. My father brought me up with dogs, he had seven greyhounds and lurches so I’ve always known a home full of dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality, exercise requirements, temperament and way of communicating, so I always adapt my care to suit the dog in front of me. Whether it's a long walk for a high-energy dog, a slower pace for an older companion, or plenty of play, affection and reassurance, I want every dog to feel safe, happy and loved while they're with me. Dogs are a passion of mine and one of my biggest interests. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and take great pride in making sure they're well looked after, comfortable and treated as if they were my own. I work from home so I will be at home to give your fur baby my undivided attention! Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you, Charlotte Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and part time, which means I have the flexibility to give dogs the time, attention and exercise they deserve rather than trying to fit them around a busy schedule. Walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles are all things I genuinely look forward to. I love getting outside, whatever the weather, and I'm happy to tailor each day to suit your dog's routine and personality—whether that's an energetic adventure, a relaxed sniff-filled stroll or simply keeping them company at home. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also provide plenty of toilet breaks, stick to feeding and medication routines, and make sure your dog never feels rushed or left alone for long. I'll care for them as if they were one of my own, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my own home or in their owner's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, favourite activities, quirks and any specific care requirements before they stay with me. I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, from feeding times and walks to play, rest and bedtime. I believe dogs thrive on familiarity, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and mental stimulation throughout the day, while always respecting the boundaries and training their owners have put in place. Communication is really important to me too. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, settled and being cared for as if they were part of my own family.
“Luna stayed with Karen for the second time yesterday. Karen put us at ease with lots of messages and photographs and again we would highly recommend Karen for her care of our Luna, who means so much to us. Thank you Karen, see you soon.”
“Rupert and Jenny have been looking after our beautiful Labrador, Frodo, for the past few months, and now we’ve come to the end of his stays because we’re both teachers and it’s the summer holidays. But boy, were we gutted to be saying goodbye! 🖤 Frodo has made a friend for life in their gorgeous girl, Cali. 🐾 Rupert and Jenny have cared for him so beautifully, treating him like one of their own, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for better dog sitters. We’ll always reach out to them whenever we need care for Frodo again, and we’d leave him with them in a heartbeat. They’re so experienced, kind and genuinely wonderful with dogs, and it’s given us complete peace of mind every single time. Mr Frodo is going to miss you both so much! Thank you for everything you’ve done for him. We’ll definitely see you again in the future. 🖤”
“Gertie had a lovely time with Joshua on two of hottest days last week. He walked her early and made sure she was cool and had access to lots of water. Great job Joshua”
About: As a child, I have always been fond of having pets, particularly dogs. Over the years, I have taken care of dogs of different sizes, including the one in the picture, which belongs to my sister. We often joke that he is my second godson. One time, I assisted a professional dog walker as a favour, and I enjoyed it so much that it felt like she did me a favour instead. Additionally, I have pet-sat for my friends on several occasions in the past. Currently, I commute to Bristol for work. However, I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, finishing at 1:30 PM on Fridays, so I can also offer dog walking services if needed. Regrettably, the policies of my apartment complex prohibit pets, which is why I can only provide dog-sitting services at the owner's home or short stay at mine over the weekend. I assure you that I will diligently adhere to any instructions given to me regarding the care of the dog.

I needed a day sitter as a matter of urgency. Hayley agreed to take my 9month old male dachshund without hesitation and without meeting us first. We agreed drop off and collection time for the next day. We had to change drop off half an hour before agreed time and then again later in the day for collection. My daughter had to have an emergency operation which we were not expecting. I was very stressed but thank god for Hayley. This was not a problem for her and put my mind at rest, she sent me photos and video and updates throughout the day and he had a wonderful time. Hayley is a great sitter and what a find. I highly recommend her, she is wonderful with my dog and excellent with humans as well. A real 5⭐️ sitter

Teddy has stayed with Sam a couple of times and absolutely loves it! I booked again at short notice this week and thankfully Sam was free. Teddy had a blast playing with her dogs and was shattered when he got home. He's looking forward to the next stay already!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Newport on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,558 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Newport. About 86% of Newport 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 Newport 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 Wales 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 .
