About: I’ve grown up with dogs, our families little jack Russell and Yorkshire terrier cross and family and friends dogs too. I’ve cared for labradors, pugs, French bulldogs, dachshunds and more. I love bonding and spending time with them and taking them on walks as well as playing in the house and having cuddles. I’m sensible, reliable and kind and will make your dog feel very at home. I’m work for myself on laptop, a few hours a week. I do this from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them lots of love and attention. I will take your dogs for one or two walks a day (depending on what they are used to). I can walk them up to grassy areas to have the toilet first thing in the morning and in the evening before bed. I live near the coast and can travel by bus if they like being on the beach. They would be cared for so much. For cats they would be indoor only. They would be the only animal in my flat. They would be treated with so much care and attention too (if they like attention!) and looked after as you would in your own home. Feel free to bring what they are used to playing with, scratch posts, cat towers etc, so they feel at home.

About: I’ve been a dog-carer for 8 years and have good knowledge and confidence for our canine babies! I was brought up with dogs and other pets too; I’m all round an animal lover and seem to have created my adult life around this! I originally trained in behaviour therapy and counselling at university 10 years ago and now moved on to nursing, which I will qualify in this summer. I love animals and look after them as much as I can in my spare time. At home I have an elderly cat and 4 chickens. I share a collie dog part time also. I currently work part time and choose my own hours. My daughter is in school. My family and I look after dogs regularly and we have our own too. I’m a very active and healthy person, knowledgable of walks to suit any dog in the area and my home is very spacious with a fenced yard. I am a regular attender to dog festivals, training seminars and canine health. I am passionate for our canine babies and look forward to providing the best care so you can get the time you need! I have a very friendly collie who is in perfect t health and is neutered. My back yard is fenced and home is spacious. We take daily walks in open spaces for dogs to explore and play. At home we play stimuli games and I have dog puzzles too. I have a daughter who is in school but loves dogs too and already has a great understanding. She has been around dogs her entire life as I dog sit, board and walk dogs for friends and family. The health and happiness of the dog is priority and I make sure they’re kept to the best standards.

About: I've been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. I regularly look after our family dog and have plenty experience with high energy working breeds. Particularly Border terriers and their escape artist tricks! I will provide a loving and caring environment for your furry family member as I would with my own family pets. I'm currently finishing my masters degree and transitioning back to work. My schedule is pretty flexible right now but I'm unable to book months in advance as I generally work away. When I'm not at work, dogs will have plenty of opportunities for walks and play throughout the day! I live in an ideal location within walking distance to Longsands beach, Northumberland park and traffic free walking routes. My flat is ground floor and I have a secure backyard for which I have sole use of. Your dog will be allowed free roam of the flat. My flat is a quiet environment so is ideal for nervous dogs. Due to my schedule I'm able to walk during quieter times of the day. I'm happy to go running with a dog if that is something that is suitable or spends a few hours on the beach playing fetch. I'm pretty active so will always ensure your dog has plenty of exercise opportunities. I will only look after 1 dog or dogs from the same family at a time. If your dog like company I can also introduce them to our working cocker who loves to play.

About: I've had plenty of experience when it comes to caring for dogs and cats. I am known for my calm energy, allowing even anxious pets or pets who typically are not friendly with humans to get well acquainted and settled in easily. I am confident to take care of multiple pets as well, with experience walking three dogs of the same household together. If your pet is up for it, I enjoy bringing them out for adventures in nature, going for longer walks or take them with me as I explore the outdoors - I’ve brought two sweet pups up for a hike in Cairngorms before, or taken another pup out for long walks along the Water of Leith (who can resist a good adventure?!). With lots of love to give, I've dog sit for my family, am a natural with animals and volunteered at animal rescues such as local SPCAs and a sanctuary with blind and deaf dogs. I have also fostered puppies, ministered medication and trained them simple commands like sit and paw. I spent countless hours at the local animal rescue as a kid with the animals and am comfortable caring for them. Would love to hear from you and meet more people around Whitley Bay (I've just moved here, but have had lots of sitting experience, starting in Stirling and Edinburgh!) Available for quick call or meet up if you'd like to see if I will be a good fit for your needs so that you can leave your pet in my care with peace of mind. I'd take time to know your pets' little behaviour quirks and would be open to follow any routine if you'd like. Some breeds I’ve taken care of include: Bigger dogs like Staffies, Huskies, Labradors, Collies, mixed breeds; mid sized dogs like Vizslas and smaller dogs like Schnauzers, Chihuahuas or ShihTzus. Rather flexible with fair notice time. Awaiting to begin a new role where I will be able to work from home 3 out of 5 weekdays, love having furry company on my adventures when I explore the outdoors. Also have a flexible and safe space to have your pet over for daycare. Absolutely love meeting new (pup and human) faces around the neighbourhood. Suitable for impromptu arrangements as well, do reach out! At yours, I will spend time with your pet, depending on their mood - whether they seem energetic to go for longer walks, or feeling more like staying at home for a grooming session. I will keep your pets' needs attuned and adapt accordingly or take care of them as per your instructions and routine. I will be sensitive to your pet's familiarity with me and build trust with your pet over time. I will make sure that safety for your pet will be of utmost priority especially when we go for walks, looking out for things in the environment that might be harmful and also be alert for other danger (eg. other dogs or cars). I pride myself in sending quality picture or message updates time to time so you can be assured that your pet is in safe hands!

About: I always have dogs in my house, my own, and from family, friends or neighbors who would leave them with me anytime needed. I'm very used to walking dogs and taking great care of them! I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, so I can take the dogs for a walk, play in the yard, and keep them happy and safe all day long. I have a fenced yard and an old fury baby - Lilica (14 years old, but very active). I also can easily keep the dogs apart if needed.

About: Hi! I’m a calm, friendly dog lover based near the coast in North Shields. I’m responsible, reliable, and really attentive. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe and settled. I’ve raised my own dog since I found her at just 3 months old, and I’ve done all of her training myself. Because of that, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about positive training, routines, and what dogs need to feel happy and secure. I’m great at reading a dog’s mood, whether they’re full of zoomies and energy or more of a sleepy mood. I always focus on safety, comfort, and keeping to your dog’s usual routine so they feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in really good hands. I work from home/ am currently in between roles so I can walk your dog whenever suits! I don’t mind popping in or having a mid afternoon walk. Happy to be specific with timings to help if you are in the office. I will take your lead on whatever you are comfortable with in terms of walks and care and act accordingly - eg lead or no lead. Also happy to do quieter routes if that better suits.

Bonnie stayed with Kate and her family for a day and everybody was excellent with her. Bonnie can be a little nervous around new dogs, and Kate and her husband were excellent in letting Bonnie meet their retriever and another labrador staying before the day, then during the day gave Bonnie time to settle in and slowly start to spend time with the other dogs. Got updates during the day and I think Bonnie had a great time with lots of cuddles!

About: Hi, I’m Lewis 👋 I’m a big animal lover and I’m looking to help you and your pup out in any way that I can. I recently lost my beloved cavalier after 16 brilliant years. So I’m looking to get back to looking after some furry friends! I work as a primary teacher so will only set my availability for school holidays and select weekends. This ensures that your pup has 100% of my care and attention all of the time that they spend with me. I love hosting doggies of various breeds. I enjoy the company of young and elderly dogs too🐶 First Aid certified ✅ DBS checked ✅ I'm offering:
 1. day care: I will only agree to host a max of 2 doggies at a time but I’m more than happy to accept only 1 if that works best for you and your dog 😊. 
During day care, furry friends can expect lots of walks and play along with lots of treats!
 2. Boarding: I will only accept 1 dog at a time so I can spend quality time with them and create a nice bond. 
During school holiday day care/boarding doggies should also expect really nice and long walks by the nearby parks but also day trips (always with the owner’s permission)
 * Always happy to meet & greet before a booking too My availability is subject to the school term times and certain weekends where I know that I can give your doggy all of my time and attention. I have a spacious home with a good sized back garden (currently unfenced) and will always adhere to any and all requests that you might have.

About: Cat sitting + Clinical researcher - Newcastle upon Tyne, around Newcastle upon Tyne city centre till Howdon/Wallsend, UK Cats have been a part of my life since I was 11 years old, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Since moving to Newcastle, UK, I’ve helped friends care for their cats, and in 2017, I adopted my own beloved black cat who has been my loyal companion ever since. Through my experience, I’ve encountered & managed a diverse range of cat care situations, including: ✔ Feeding difficulties & picky eaters ✔ Managing constipation & digestive issues ✔ Post-surgery aftercare & recovery support ✔ Providing comfort, cuddles & companionship Cats are more than just pets to me, they are a fundamental part of my life... As a devoted cat lover, I understand their behaviours, emotions & needs. Being a cat sitter isn’t purely a job; it’s a passion... With a genuine heart for feline care, I am committed to ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable & well cared for in my presence. As a dedicated cat sitter, I understand that every cat has a unique personality & their comfort, health is my top priority... Some cats are independent, while others need extra attention & reassurance - especially when faced with a new person. I take the time to build trust, ensuring each cat feels relaxed & at ease in my care. 🐾Tailored Care for Every Cat🐾 Clear communication with owners is essential to providing the best possible care. Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water replenishment litter box maintenance, cuddles, grooming, medication administration (including injections), or close observation, I will follow your instructions carefully, thoroughly & attentively. Each visit usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your requests & your cat’s needs. 🐾Reliable & Transparent Service🐾 To give you peace of mind while you're away, I can send regular photos and videos - as many as you’d like! You can always stay updated & reassured about your cat’s well-being. 🐾Flexible & Trustworthy🐾 I am a permanent resident of Newcastle upon Tyne with a clear DBS check, ensuring reliability & trustworthiness. I am always open to learning and adapting to your cat’s specific needs. Any special requests, let’s discuss them...I’ll do my best to accommodate. Price is negotiable depending on travel time, requested timing & specific needs!!! Your cat’s happiness & well-being are my top priority. I’m here to provide loving, professional care. Let’s chat about how I can help... It depends. There will be a discussion with clients. Sometimes I work remotely, sometimes I am not. There will be the timetable for me in advance for clients to check prior to their decision to contact me. Alternatively, please contact me by email directly. We will schedule a meeting for the pet care. I am happy to cover all the areas in Newcastle upon Tyne. Different cat has different personality and behaviour towards loneliness and facing a stranger, even different attitudes towards female and male. Communicating with cat owners is also quite important to know how to take care of their cats and how to max my help. I hope every cat is the most comfortable around me. As long as owners tell me in brief or detail what treatments and services you need from me, I will let you know if I can do it or not, I will try and learn as much as I can to provide my service based on your cats' needs as my responsibility. By following the owner's instruction, I spend 30 - 40 mins/each visit with cats who need daily feeding, cuddling, combing, medication administration or/and injections and observation. Photos & videos are available to send to owners as needed.

Emily looks after my golden boy, Max, and I’m so glad I found her. She treats him like her own, and he has the best time playing with her gorgeous golden, Reggie! Max always runs straight to the door and doesn’t even look back to say goodbye, which says it all! It’s so reassuring knowing he’s being well looked after, and the photos Emily sends always make me smile. If you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby, don’t look any further, Emily is amazing!

Colette was excellent. She proposed a free meet up before hand so that we could both assess the suitability of the other which I really appreciated. It was great to know that Thea was going to get along with her and Reggie. She sent regular photos and clearly tried to follow the ‘structure’ we’d asked her to follow for Thea’s eating and, critically, sleeping. Colette was friendly and confident and clearly knew her stuff which put me at ease. Reggie, despite being 5 x the weight of Thea, looks to have got on really well and is a gentle giant despite his own young years. We will absolutely be happy to use Colette again.

This was the first time we had left Travis with anyone other than family or friends. Douglas got in contact straight away and made sure he knew everything he needed to before Travis spent the day with him and his family. He also ensured we knew what to expect which made us feel better about leaving him with someone new. Douglas was very welcoming in the morning when Travis was dropped off and showed him love from the second he arrived. There were pictures and updates throughout the day which was lovely and again, offered a lot of reassurance that Travis was doing just fine. I know that Travis was welcomed and loved for the day which is exactly what we wanted! Thank you so much for everything.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - North Tyneside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 462 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in North Tyneside. About 90% of North Tyneside 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 North Tyneside 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 North East England 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 .
