“Rachel is absolutely lovely, so sweet and genuinely easy to talk to. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble for her, and she made me feel completely at ease from the start. Smithy is a rescue greyhound, so I was really worried about finding someone who would understand him, his background and all his little quirks, rather than treating him like just any other dog. Rachel absolutely delivered. She took the time to listen, understand his needs and make sure he felt comfortable and settled with her. I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such kind and capable hands, and Smithy clearly loved his time with her. I’ll definitely be using Rachel again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their dog. Thank you so much 🖤”
“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!”
“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 always lived my life alongside a four legged friend. From cats, to dogs, to tortoises. I have daily experience of looking after cats, including my own two, and have been a dog walker in London for the last eight months. I am used to caring for cats and dogs- be it for an afternoon or for a weekend- and I am very conscientious when they are in my care. I am a recent graduate that currently works part time with a teaching agency. My current work schedule means that I can be available to pet sit all day/weekend or walk your pet with a day’s notice. I have a fenced garden with astroturf where your pet will be safe to run around without having to leave the house. Alternatively my house faces onto extended fields and nature walks where I can happily walk your pet if a longer/ more exerting walking session is required. I also live with two adult cats that tend to curl up on their cushions on the windowsill and typically keep themselves to themselves.
“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.”
“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.”
“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..”
“Thank you so much for looking after Milo .Communication was excellent from offset, felt reassured after the meet and great. We had plenty of pictures and updates through the day and he was a tired but happy doggy after pick up . Would recommend , no hesitation in rebooking”
“Hayley was a fantastic sitter for Caju for the day! She was very friendly, communicative, and made us feel fully at ease with updates throughout the day as to what her and Caju were up to. She took Caju on a lovely walk in the local woods, and we couldn’t recommend her any more as a sitter. Thanks Hayley!”
“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.”
“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: 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.
About: I have been animal lover since a very small child. I have always been raised that pets are family, not just pets. I have experience with all size dogs, from miniature to extra large, show breeds to working line breeds. I was also a registered dog breeder for 7years before having my children. I have worked with all types from pet dogs to protection working dogs. I currently work self employed, part time. I am an owner of a Burger Van so there for have plenty of time on my hands by running my own business. I have always had animals up until 2years ago loosing my 14year old French bulldog, Frank so now have alot more time to look after other people pride & joys. I have an extensive sized garden which is fully enclosed with a 6 foot fence. I can crate pets if needed on your request or they can be free to roam my house as though it was there own home.
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.
“Oscar has just finished his first stay with Rupert and he had a great time! Oscar can be nervous around new people but he seemed really happy being left with Rupert and we felt very comfortable leaving him there. Rupert was also incredibly flexible with timings and kept us updated throughout the day. We wouldn’t hesitate to book in with Rupert again in the future :)”
“My husband and I booked Beverly to take care of our little boy when we go on Holiday for a week. We were very nervous to leave him, so booked an earlier date for a day so they could get to know each other. Beverly took such amazing care of him and genuinely treated him as though he was hers. He spent hours playing in the garden and made friends with her gorgeous dogs. When my husband went to collect him, he didn’t want to come home! We’re so happily to have found someone to trust to look after him for us to go on holiday. We know he will have the most amazing week with Beverly and her dogs.”
“Today was the 1st time Bonnie has stayed with anyone other than ourselves. I met Steve on Saturday to introduce her and all went well. I have had updates of her day from Steve which were very much appreciated. She has had 2 lovely walks and seems very happy. I would recommend Steve and will definitely be looking for him to look after her again.”

Freya was absolutely amazing! I’m so glad to have found her and will definitely be using her again for doggy daycare. We met beforehand and Freya asked/took note of a lot of relevant information relating to the care of my dog which I was very impressed by as it shows she really cares about the pets she looks after. She sent photos throughout the day, even keeping track of how often he went outside to relieve himself so I knew where he was at in his schedule upon pick up and my dog was extremely happy and loving to her which shows me he had a great time with her. Highly recommend overall!

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!

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

There are 1,589 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 .
