“5 stars doesn’t even come close! After being let down at the last hurdle Sarah agreed to do a 2 a day visit for 10 days with 36 hours notice! As cat owners who have never left our cats for a long period of time, Sarah did everything to ease our concerns and made sure that we never left wondering! She was honestly amazing, she came and met the cats before hand and sent us photos twice a day every day for the whole ten days. We have come home to two very happy, very well looked after cats and we can say without hesitation that we will 100% be booking Sarah in future as she really does go the extra mile. ”
“Maya was very caring when looking after my two cats, she spent time playing with them and sent lots of photos of them while she looked after them which I appreciated! I’m sure Bean and Toast will look forward to seeing them again next time we go on holiday! Thank you Maya :)”
About: I am DBS checked.I bring a calm, caring, and attentive approach to every pet I care for—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs a little extra TLC. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I quickly build trust with both pets and their owners. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and I always go the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy on our walks. I’m available for walks after work on weekdays and throughout the weekend, making me a great fit for pet parents who need flexible and reliable help during busy times. Because I already structure my day around caring for my own pup, adding more furry friends to the mix is something I genuinely enjoy. Dog boarding is not currently offered. I offer puppy and play visits in your home, providing them with their usual meal, toilet breaks and play time.
“Had to leave my 6 month old kitten for a few days for the first time. Got sent loads of photos and videos on his videos which was lovely to know he was fine. When I got back he was absolutely fine, he seemed to have loved Oscar :)”
“Emma was great and being experienced in the animal industry helped massively, the cats seemed comfortable around her and I felt confident they were looked after, would recommend :)”
“We had a really positive experience with Alannah. She followed all the instructions carefully and was incredibly helpful and kind throughout. It was clear that she genuinely cared and took great care of our cat, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Overall, a fantastic sitter—we would definitely book with Alannah again and highly recommend her to others!”
“Amela is very reliable and gives great updates on my cat when I am away. Also has lots of common sense, when something didn't work the way she expected it to she immediately contacted me. I have no reservations to recommend her on her reliability and common sense attitude.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since was able to walk, I take my own dogs into daily and always love the company. Walking is my safe space and dogs are too which is why this job is so well fitted for me I look after my own dogs daily so it’s routine for me. Normally I go to gym early then walk the dogs before lunch and at tea time. I leave close to the sea so a beach trip is manditory! I have a fenced garden with one friendly cocker spaniel at home, she loves running and especially the. beach and playing on a field, I’m always happy to bring her along with me!
About: After losing my beloved Alex, my cherished companion of many years, to old age, I’ve come to understand the profound bond between pets and their owners. Alex brought so much joy, comfort, and unconditional love into my life, and his passing left a space that only the presence of a furry friend can fill. This experience has inspired me to open my heart and home to other pets, offering them the same care, attention, and affection that I gave to Alex. I know firsthand the importance of patience, routine, and understanding when it comes to caring for pets, especially those who may be older or need extra support. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a cosy cuddle, or simply being there to provide companionship, I’m committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and valued. Let me help care for your pet with the same dedication and warmth that I gave to my dear Alex. Fully insured. As a part-time teacher, pet sitting complements my flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate mornings, evenings, and weekends to walks, feeding, and cuddles, ensuring pets feel loved and secure. I have a big fenced garden as well as a garden room, my dog Alex was allowed to use the house as our humans do and I will treat any pet the same way.

About: I've spent my whole life with cats and dugs. I grew up with a tabby cat and a cocker spaniel and, when I was lodging in London, I lived with a calico kitten and an ex-Police German Shepherd. Friends, family, and folk I've got chatting to in the pub have all relied on me too look after their cats, kittens, and a range of dog breeds including labradors, rottweilers, and spaniels. I'm a devoted Cat-Dad. Lacey, our nine-year-old rescue cat, has me wrapped round her little toe-bean. I'd love to get a dog but I fear they might cause chaos at my day job in an art gallery. I'm friendly, reliable, and pride myself on excellent communication. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I work shifts in an art gallery in Newcastle which offers great flexibility to accommodate your furry friend. My best availability is mornings and evenings Monday - Friday. I offer updates and photos from every check-in. I make time to play with your cat and check, food, water, and litter trays. I'm always happy to spend time with them to build trust and a real bond.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and have a genuine love for them all. I started officially walking my aunties dog a year ago when he was rescued and have since pursued this as a career, working with all ages, sizes and temperaments! I love helping rehomed dogs settle into their new homes and hope I can help as many dogs as possible start their new lives🐾 Pet care is my full time job, I mostly walk dogs however I am looking to gain some of my own clients, and branch into pet sitting as well. Your home is your pets home, so respecting their/your space is essential to building a connection with both owner and pet. Water is always kept full, play is had without hesitation and keeping a space safe for your dog is essential to keeping them happy

About: Full time dog walker and pet sitter specialising in solo walks and small, safe & controlled group walks. Experienced with many breeds and a good knowledge of dog behaviours/ body language. Fully insured and DBS checked. I am a full time dog walker, and pet sitter. I mostly have regular weekly clients for solo or small group walks!

Oscar looked after my two cats (18 months and 6 months old) whilst i was away on holiday dropping in twice a day. He followed instructions perfectly and wasn’t phased by one of them being a little litter tray sensitive. He updated me with pictures and videos which gave peace of mind and both of my babies were in great spirits when I returned. Would absolutely book again!
Amy was great with our cat and kitten, communication was fantastic throughout and we loved getting so many pictures and updates of how they were doing. It was really reassuring knowing that she was there to give them love and attention so we could enjoy a rare night out! We’d love to have her back in the future and I’m sure the cats would love that too
We had a really positive experience with Alannah. She followed all the instructions carefully and was incredibly helpful and kind throughout. It was clear that she genuinely cared and took great care of our cat, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Overall, a fantastic sitter—we would definitely book with Alannah again and highly recommend her to others!
Absolutely 100% recommendation. Would give more stars if we could. Was initially a very short notice inquiry due to family circumstances so we were apprension at first using rover.com. This apprension was soon put to rest. Great communication consistently from initial contact all the way through and updates that made the family feel at ease and know the pets were in good hands.Will gladly use Liv again(if she wasnt too traumatised by our mental pair of hounds).Thanks liv and rover.com
Amela is very reliable and gives great updates on my cat when I am away. Also has lots of common sense, when something didn't work the way she expected it to she immediately contacted me. I have no reservations to recommend her on her reliability and common sense attitude.
Ellen has been absolutely superb with little Pitta. We were away for a week and it was our first time leaving him home & she reassured us so much via msgs and picture updates. My little cat never really shows interest in any company other than ours but he’s been so relaxed and comfortable around Ellen, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. No need to look any further, Ellen is the right person to take care of your cat & we will 100% be booking again when needed. :)

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.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other North Tyneside pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Tyneside choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
