“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!”

About: Fully licensed with Newport City Council. I’ll provide calm, one-to-one care for dogs who need patience, routine, and understanding. My approach is shaped by years of living with a high-needs, reactive dog, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs who may be anxious, sensitive, or overwhelmed in busy environments. I focus on low-stress walks, consistent routines, and building trust at each dog’s pace. I’m reliable, attentive, and always put safety and wellbeing first. I’m happy to work closely with owners to make sure their dog feels secure and cared for. I absolutely adore dogs, and we’re excited to open our home to some canine companions! Both my partner and I work from home, so there is almost always someone at home during the day. This means dogs are rarely left alone and can settle into a calm, consistent routine with plenty of supervision and reassurance. I structure care around quiet, one-to-one walks and predictable routines, which works particularly well for dogs who are anxious, sensitive, or reactive. I’m happy to discuss individual needs, routines, and triggers to make sure each dog feels safe and supported. My home is calm, spacious, and set up with dogs’ comfort and safety in mind. There’s a large, secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time, and dogs are treated as part of the family — welcome in all the spaces we use so they’re never isolated or shut away. Safety and trust are central to how I care for dogs. I only take dogs I’m confident I can safely support, and care is always one-to-one or from the same household. Routines, boundaries, and handling are tailored to each dog, particularly those who may be anxious or reactive. I have two dog-savvy children who understand how to give dogs space and respect their signals, and all interactions are supervised. My aim is to provide a calm, predictable environment where dogs feel secure, understood, and genuinely at home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each one as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m very reliable and patient, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s individual needs and Work from home so I have plenty of time for looking after 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
“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..”

“We're so grateful and thankful that Fritha took a great care of our pup, Chanel. They had an amazing time together along with Fritha's beautiful dog, Inky. Chanel had the best time with them both and we love seeing how Chanel and Inky are getting along well. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a patient and loving sitter ?”

“Belle had a lovely time with Dora, Zoltan and the children, and I would thoroughly recommend - Dora and her family were very accommodating given such a last minute request, but really went out of their way to make sure Belle was comfortable and cared for. Will definitely be bringing Belle back here in the future!”

“Oliver kindly took Blaidd for us short notice and kept us up to date with how blaodd was getting on. Kindly kept her until late so we could be social! Defo go back to Oliver :)”

About: I have had pets growing up and 14 years experience with dogs. Our dog was a very playful and excited puppy, he grew to be a very large dog so I am experienced with all sizes. I have experience with senior dogs and understand how different it is taking them for a walk compared to a younger dog with lots of energy. I currently work part time so have lots of spare time for walking and looking after dogs. This is the first period of time we haven’t had a pet in 14 years so I have all the time for other dogs now. Over the last few years I’ve also walked my friends dogs when they’ve been away and family dogs when they haven’t been able to. I care for dogs walking them, playing with them ensuring they are happy. I won’t walk dogs in extreme heat as this is not safe for them. Ensure they always have access to water
“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've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and will always follow your care instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, toilet breaks, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. Because I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and provide regular attention and care. As an experienced dog owner and former cat owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet's routine, and treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets.
“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.”

About: As well as taking care of my 7 year old Shi-poo, I’ve walked and house sat for dogs from puppies to 10+, big and small. I work full-time in local government with mostly home working and relaxed start/ finish times. I walk up to 10km everyday, so would keep your furry friend happy and active and I’d love the added company! I have a fenced garden for toilet trips and a 7 year old shi-poo to keep your dog company. Flexible on preferred sleeping arrangements, whether a crate or in a dog bed downstairs or in the bedroom.
“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.”

“Becky’s been so loving and caring to my pup. She’s a rescue cockerpoo and can get scared in new environments but Becky arranged to meet her first and spend some time with her and within no time Poppy wasn’t snuggled up next to her. During the day Becky sends me several updates with little videos and pics of Poppy having a lovely happy time with her 🥰”

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

There are 1,533 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Newport. About 85% 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.
