“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 have a beautiful Labrador called Rex and my whole family have dogs! Love getting out on walks and would treat any dog as part of the family. I currently own a gorgeous black Labrador called Rex I’m free most weekends for drop in visits or evening visits, perfect if your out for the day! I can do multiple check ins or walks when your out My lab is sometimes lead reactive when meeting new dogs so I am very limited to caring for dogs when I have Rex, unless we arrange to meet and the dogs got used to each other over time I do work full time Monday-Friday, so can discuss daily arrangements to suit you. I have a fenced yard and fenced garden to keep dogs safe. I live local to a park for some lovely walks. Happy for them to be a part of the family when staying with me and can sleep where ever they’re comfortable!
“Craig was great - he was really communicative and kept us updated, with daily pictures and clear updates on our cat, helping to keep us reassured. He was friendly and our pet took to him straight away. Would recommend and would definitely use his services again!”
About: I grew up with dogs, but since moving out of the family home and establishing life in Newcastle I miss having a furry companion! I am often trusted with looking after family / friends dogs and I live in a great area for walking them. I work full time but a lot of it is from home, and my partner gets in usually around 3pm. He has grown up with lurchers and is an avid dog lover like me. There will be plenty of time for walks and would only accept bookings where the dog will be cared for the best we can with our schedule. It is my partner and I in a flat with no pets. Whilst we don’t have a garden we have green spaces on our doorstep for regular ‘business’ trips. We live in close proximity to great parks such as Havannah, Woolsington, Weetslade, Big waters etc. Your dog would be part of the family, from coming on walks to chilling on the sofa (if allowed by you).
“Katie was absolutely amazing, and I'll definitely be recommending her and booking her again. Her communication was excellent throughout. She provided detailed Rover cards and always kept me up to date with any changes or concerns. She took fantastic care of Cleo and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in Katie's care. Even though Cleo is a very shy cat, Katie was patient enough to gain her trust, and within a few days she was able to pet and play with her. When Cleo managed to get out through an upstairs window, Katie handled the situation calmly and kept me updated throughout. She followed the plan we agreed to make sure Cleo could get back inside safely, and I really appreciated how reassuring and proactive she was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”

“Emily was fantastic! She looked after our cat while we were out of town for a week and we are so grateful for the care and attention Emily gave to her. Emily was extremely responsive, professional, and communicative. Best of all, she sent lots of great pictures!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 6 years now. I have experience with small and big dogs. I have one dog (Alaskan Malamute) thats is blind, so I know how to deal when special needs are required. I had a German Shepherd who recently just passed so also have experience with old doggies. At the end they are all furry to love. Love to kiss them and hug them, even if they don’t like it 🤣 I have 3 cats in my house who are used to dogs so that won’t be a problem :) Im currently not working so I dedicate myself to do some studying to keep myself up to date and keep the house tidy. Normally, the pets get fed 3 times a day like us :) And go on walks once a day, plus can use the garden freely if they need a pee or poo. I have fenced garden and a camera in the living room, so in case I need to pop to the shops I can still monitor them.
“It was our first time having Elizabeth and she was brilliant. She kept us informed with photo updates too which was a bonus :). She was kind and trustworthy and will definitely book again. Thank you x”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Northumberland on Rover is £11.5 per Visit (as of August 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 .
There are 291 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Northumberland. About 92% of Northumberland 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.
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.
