About: Animals are my absolute passion. I’ve spent my life surrounded by pets, and I spent 6 months working in a veterinary clinic as a trainee veterinary nurse. While I chose not to complete the full qualification, the intensive, hands-on experience I gained was invaluable. I am incredibly comfortable handling animals of all temperaments, recognising subtle signs of illness or discomfort, administering medication if required, and maintaining a safe environment. If your pet needs an extra attentive eye or a calm, confident handler, they are in safe hands with me. Personal Pet Care Experience: My personal life is just as animal-focused! My experience includes: Dogs: I have years of experience walking and caring for my parents' energetic Labrador, so I'm well-versed in the needs of larger, active breeds. I completed a series of obedience training courses with him when he was a pup. Cats: I have two cats at home who are my whole world; I understand cat care, play, and respecting boundaries for more aloof cats! Small/Farm Animals: I also care for three rescue, ex-battery chickens who live out their retirement in my garden. I have a soft spot for rescues and don't mind getting my hands dirty! I had a rabbit when I was a kid who lived to the ripe old age of 10. I'm currently self employed, working no more than 1 day a week and exclusively from home. I'm available at short notice and happy to fit my client work around looking after your family members. I have 2 cats and 3 chickens at home, so home boarding would only be something I could offer for the right animal. In your home however, I am respectful, clean, and tidy - the safety of your animal is my top priority. As I have 2 house cats, double checking doors and windows are shut is always on my mind! I'm very active but happy to adjust activity levels to the needs of your pet, I'm a huge animal lover and seeing a happy animal is the ultimate reward!

About: I absolutely love dogs and have grown up with them in my family for many years. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, from daily walks and feeding to playtime and lots of affection. I now have my own dog, Otis, who is 1 year old, so I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pet is safe, happy and well cared for. I’m comfortable with different breeds, energetic dogs that love long walks, and giving plenty of attention and cuddles. I will always treat every dog as if they were my own. My partner works away regularly meaning it is just me and Otis most days! We need extra cuddles and fun especially on weekends. I work a hybrid job mid-week, which means I’m home a lot and able to give dogs plenty of attention, company and regular walks throughout the day. Weekends are also perfect as I have lots of free time to dedicate to pet care. I love getting outdoors with my dog Otis and exploring all the beautiful walks around Northumberland. Your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air and adventures while staying with me. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I have my own friendly 1-year-old dog, Otis, who loves the company of other dogs and is used to regular walks and playtime. I always follow each dog’s usual routine for feeding, exercise and rest to help them feel settled and relaxed. I provide a calm, loving environment and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for.

“Brilliant sitter, very good communication and very reassuring. I will be using Beth exclusively from now on. 100% recommend. She was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure my girls were well looked after!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life and I am currently studying animal care in college so I am able to carry out care for pets to a high standard and I have also received qualifications in this sector. I am able to do this morning and night between 6-8am and 6-10pm on weekdays due to college and other responsibilities and 6-8am and 2-8pm on weekends due to working. Feeding, grooming, watering, walking. I do this on a daily basis due to having pets of my own, and I have done this for many years.

About: i’ve grown up all my life with cats, i worked in a cat cafe in newcastle for nearly 2 years and helped find forever homes for each cat after the cafe closed. my older sister has two dogs, one small and one large and i often take them for walks and dog sit them! I love animals and am more than happy to meet new furry friends and take care of them whenever needed :) i currently work part time and i am off uni for the summer so besides occasional concerts i will have a lot of time to spend with your kitties/doggies. i will only ever accept to take care of them on days where i will have the whole day free to spend time with them to ensure they get the best care and attention they deserve! i want them to feel as safe as possible, i will only approach them when it’s clear they are comfortable, i go outside with them to always keep my eyes on them and i make sure they are well fed!

About: I absolutely love animals especially dogs, me and my little border terrier Maggie go on so many wonderful adventures. I love being outdoors and exploring rain or shine. I currently work full time, however my days are broken up with lots of gaps in my working day, which is the perfect opportunity to have some fun adventures to break up my day. I have a fenced garden and 1 boarder terrier dog of my own. She is super friendly and loves to play and explore new places.

About: I’ve owned dogs since the age of 7 and have grown up around them, so caring for dogs feels very natural to me. I have plenty of experience with both dogs and puppies and understand how important routine, patience, affection, and a safe environment are for happy pets. As a busy family home, there will always be someone home to give your dog plenty of attention, company, care, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m a mum to 2-year-old twins and a 10-month-old baby, all of whom are very gentle, loving, and used to being around dogs. We’re an active household and are more than happy to take dogs on lots of walks and little adventures while they stay with us. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and given lots of love, playtime, comfort, and one-to-one attention during their stay at The Wagging Retreat 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I am currently on maternity leave and at home full-time. This means dogs are never left alone for long periods and can enjoy regular feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have 2-year-old twins, so our days already include outdoor walks and time in the park, which works brilliantly for dog walks and little adventures. Nap times allow for calm bonding, grooming, and training, while evenings are relaxed and settled, making it ideal for cuddles and companionship. Overall, my schedule is flexible and home-based, allowing me to provide consistent care, supervision, and lots of love in a family environment. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated as part of the family. I have a fully fenced, newly refurbished back garden where dogs can safely go outside to toilet and get fresh air whenever needed. Because I’m at home full-time, I’m able to keep a close eye on them, maintain their usual routine, and give them lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have regular walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, as well as quiet time to rest. Feeding times, medication (if required), and any specific instructions from the owner are followed carefully. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help pets feel comfortable and settled. This includes feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and companionship, as well as keeping the home clean and secure. I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and loving care so owners feel confident their pet is happy and safe.

“My cat Victor enjoyed his visits from Celine and he is shy around new people! Celine made him at ease instantly and sent me pictures and updates and I could phone her too. We both agree Celine is the best, would highly recommend will book Celine on our next trip away.”

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life up until recently, after my senior pup sadly passed away! Good with puppies who need entertaining and tiring out, as well elderly pets who need a calming and more subdued presence. Looked after many of my friends pets such as cats and dogs - even my sisters tortoise! Confident with smaller animals too like hamsters and guinea pigs. Have a good inkling for training basics with puppies such as sit, wait etc. I work in the film industry and work away when I have a contract, things are very quiet at the moment so I have complete free availability to look after your pets and available at short notice for your needs! Depending on what your fur baby needs, I’ll be there! Playtime with a new young pup, someone to sit with your elderly dog and keep them company… long or short walks or someone to help with a little bit of basic training if you’re out the house all day. I’m a very easy going individual who is confident with dogs and provide the specific care they need
About: Experienced, reliable dog sitter offering loving, family-friendly care — with a calm, kid-safe environment and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds.

In a pet owner’s home, I respect their routines — feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions — so their pets feel happy and settled while their owners are away.

I’m Jess, Im 22 years old and have been surrounded by animals my entire life from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, tortoises, bearded dragons, rabbits, and even chickens. Caring for a wide variety of pets has taught me how to handle them with patience, understanding, and love. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter trays, or creating a safe and comfortable environment, I’m happy to help.

About: I have recently finished my Animal Science degree at Newcastle University and am currently awaiting my final results. I have grown up around both dogs and cats, which has given me a genuine love for animals and confidence in caring for animals with different personalities and needs. Alongside my studies, I have been working part time at Hurworth Burn Luxury Pet Hotel, gaining hands on experience caring for dogs in a professional setting. My responsibilities include supervising walks, assisting with bathing and administering medication, monitoring behaviour and wellbeing, maintaining clean living areas and meeting each dog's individual feeding and care needs. I am confident caring for dogs of all different sizes and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, attentive and trustworthy. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I recently finished my Animal Science degree at Newcastle University and am currently awaiting my final results, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care.

I always prioritise making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home and during walks.

I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, cleanliness, and behaviour monitoring to ensure pets remain happy and healthy while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of trust, communication, and regular updates for owners after each visit or walk.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Northumberland on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. 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.
