About: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. I’ve moved over from Jersey and miss having doggy company! Love the chance to care for and spoil some pups again! I can work from home and my hours are flexible to work around the pups needs when doing so! Plus I already require daily walks myself 😆 I’m afraid I can’t commit to open ended repeat walks/visits as availability fluctuates so requests would require an end date. Also for bookings much further away I may need to add a couple quid to the rate just to cover my travel (as Rover takes a fair bit!) but that can be discussed on a case by case basis :) I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or staying at your home, I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re well cared for. On walks, I keep things safe and go at their pace. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed and loved until you’re back, tailoring to their individual needs! For stays in my own home, I should note that I have a housemate so it wouldn’t just be me around the dog.
“Nathan was a brilliant sitter! He was so friendly and made Artie feel at ease straight away. Communication was great, and he came to our rescue last minute, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend Nathan and would be more than happy for him to sit Artie again! Thanks again Nathan! 🐾”

About: I have had cats and dogs since a very early age. I love caring for them and letting them have fun. Very reliable person and our home is right next to great woods and river walks. We have a cat and Labrador I currently only work a few weeks per year on site and the rest a few hours per day at home so have a lot of spare time. We have a very secure nice sized back garden and a big kitchen where our dog sleeps. The pets are allowed anywhere in the house and we love regular walks.
“Yet another lovely play date for our little angel, Biscuit. Thank you once more Gemma and Co It is obvious she is loved and cared for in your company. That makes us happy too. Biscuit says “see ya soon!” 🐾”

About: Hi! I’m Eleni — a lifelong dog lover based in Cramlington, offering reliable and caring pet sitting, boarding, and walking services. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. ❤️ Whether your pup needs daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — from bouncy puppies to senior sweethearts. I’m also happy to travel to nearby areas, and I’m flexible with times to fit your schedule. You can count on me for plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog’s in great hands! 🐕✨ Services: 🐾 Dog Walking 🐾 Drop-in Visits 🐾 Overnight Sitting 🐾 Home Boarding Let’s make sure your pup has the best care while you’re away — I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾💛 ⸻ I currently work part-time (around 16 hours a week), which means I have a really flexible schedule for walks, visits, and overnight stays. I’m usually available on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust times to suit your routine — just let me know what works best for you! 🐾💛 Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first with me. I have a secure, pet-friendly home and my own friendly dog who loves having company — perfect for pups who enjoy a bit of social time! I have a good sized garden and I’m situated between loads of parks! I always take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and at home. Walks are done safely on lead (unless you prefer otherwise and it’s in a secure area, I have gated parks near me!) and I make sure water, rest, and cuddles are never in short supply. You can count on me to treat your dog with the same care, love, and attention I give my own — keeping them happy, safe, and loved every step of the way.
“Rosalind and Charles are perfect dog carers, my trailhound was well looked after and they are genuinely caring and friendly. They provided daycare at very short notice and were extremely professional - highly highly recommended!”

“Milo had a fantastic day with Alex and his dog Kaia, we received plenty of updates, videos and photos throughout the day which kept us at ease knowing he was settling in well! Alex was extremely responsive and clearly communicated throughout the booking process and whilst Milo was at his house, giving us an early update to reassure us he was all good! He obviously had a great time as he’s been fast asleep since we got home didn’t want to leave when picking him up. Thanks so much Alex, Milo will be visiting again for sure!”

About: Me and my husband currently have two female dogs - a Labragotto and a Dalmatian They both love to play with other dogs and are very friendly with everyone. When I leave my pets in the hands of someone else, I expect them to receive a home-from-home experience. I therefore will do the same for any pets that I care for! I will also tailor the needs for each pet according to their owners wishes. For example, I allow my pets on the furniture but if you would prefer for your pet to not be on the furniture we can amend our lifestyle to suit that! I have always been around animals growing up, I looked after my two family dogs, horses, a cat, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters! My husband is also well versed with animals, having grown up with a dog and a cat! 🐈⬛ I am a student midwife and so I am not working right now which means I have all the time to spend with four-legged friends 🐾 My husband works from home, so we are both on hand for separate walk routines if needed. Our dogs require a lot of exercise, we aim to walk at least 3 times a day but we can make adjustments accordingly for dogs with various fitness requirements! I have an unfenced garden but can but can put up temporary fencing. For toilet breaks I tend to put my dogs on leads to take them out anyways which helps their lead training. The house is fully safety proofed with no hazards. There is always someone home so your pet will never be left on their own.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, since I was just about able to walk actually. My family, both immediate and extended, has always kept dogs and I've always made it my mission to have a good rapport with them. I'm passionate about their care and making sure they're well looked after. I have a fully enclosed garden and live 5 minutes away from Cramlington nature reserve and some wide open fields below the hospital. We're big fans of enrichment games and general playing if your dog likes it. I do understand however, that every dog is unique and some may just want to chill out on their own. Please let me know as much information as you can give about your pet and their unique personality, likes, dislikes etc. I have experience with anxious dogs and trigger issues, as my own Springer, Bailey, is an anxious lad and has various triggers when outside in the world, so I've learned a lot firsthand with him. He is a great house dog, just the world is very overwhelming for him at times. I'm currently between jobs, so I am totally free to take care of and devote all my attention to your best friend as long as they are in my care. I have a totally enclosed garden and live very close to Cramlington Nature Reserve and a multitude of other walking paths. They will be entirely free to roam the house as they please, sit on the sofas or lounge in the garden (weather permitting, of course). They will be treated as my own when in my care. Plenty of enrichment games, be it a snuffle mat, folded up kitchen roll tubes to shred etc.
“Griffin had a great time with Laura and Leandro, it was his first time being minded and he seemed to enjoy it. We were sent photos and updates, and they were very accommodating with our late notice booking. Would definitely reccomend! :)”

“Joanna was just perfect: our little chap was a bit off form the day we had to leave him but Joanna was very patient, friendly and professional and we were able to enjoy our day in town worry free and with confidence! See you next time and thank you!”


About: Hi, I’m Amber! I have two small dogs of my own, and we absolutely adore having other dogs around. I’ve been caring for dogs professionally for over 8 years through my own dog-care business, so your dog will be in experienced and caring hands. I have experience with dogs of all ages and backgrounds, including puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs and dogs with behavioural needs. While I’m not a dog trainer, I’m experienced in managing different personalities and will always follow your instructions and routines to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for. I provide a home-from-home environment where dogs can enjoy plenty of attention, play and enrichment throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, toys, supervised play and plenty of cuddles are all part of their stay. I also have a particular interest in dog nutrition and even enjoy baking homemade dog treats! I’m present in my home throughout the day, so dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. I also hold a Pet First Aid & CPR qualification and have a pet first-aid kit available. As I don’t drive, daycare is available for dogs who live within approximately 2 miles of my home in Gosforth, with owners providing drop-off and collection. Drop-off and collection is available 7am–6pm, Monday–Saturday. I want every dog who stays with me to feel safe, relaxed and genuinely at home. 🐶❤️ Heat and recent surgery: I do not accept dogs who are currently in heat, have recently finished a heat, or are showing signs of coming into heat. I also cannot accept dogs who are currently recovering from a spay or other recent surgery. Please let me know about any recent or upcoming heat cycles or surgery when making an enquiry. I work from home and provide dog care full-time, so I’m able to spend the day caring for the dogs staying with me. I’m present throughout the day and can provide regular toilet breaks, exercise, play, enrichment and attention. My daycare hours are Monday–Saturday, with drop-off and collection between 7am and 6:30pm Dogs staying with me have access to a secure, fenced back garden where they can safely play and explore, as well as a gated front garden with additional plastic-coated garden mesh. I also have two friendly small dogs of my own, so your dog can have company if they are comfortable around other dogs. I always consider each dog’s individual temperament and needs when supervising interactions. I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and have looked after puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs and dogs with behavioural needs. I also hold a Pet First Aid & CPR qualification and keep a pet first-aid kit at home. As I work from home, I am present throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods.

“Andrew is an amazing dog sitter kept us updated on how my dog was doing and made sure he was settled in well.It was a god send knowing that my dog was in good hands and being taken care off .Would highly recommend if you have a medium to large dog.If I could give 6 stars I would”

“Deb and her partner were brilliant at looking after our cockapoo Basil for the day. They had him for the day while we attended a wedding nearby. They sent us lots of photos and video updates throughout the day which was lovely. Basil can be a bit anxious but he happily trotted off with them when we dropped him off and seemed very happy when we picked him up. Thank you very much!”

“Bailey is repeat visitor with Louise. As she approaches the house she knows where she is going and gets excited (good sign). Louise is a very good communicator with frequent updates and some photos. Would recommend.”

“Absolutely amazing care with Emma and her partner. We were anxious as we haven't really left our dog with anyone, and from Emma visiting Toby at home to meet him and us, to the drop off and pick up, she was great! Thank you again! Would highly recommend and will definitely book again x”

Kelly was fantastic. I was on holiday so just needed a day without Teddy whilst I visited a couple of tourist attractions. Excellent communication and gave me some great ideas. Most of all Teddy was well cared for. He clearly had fun as he is sleeping. Thanks Kelly

Diana agreed looked after our lab at very short notice after our usual sitter fell through. She was very responsive before the stay. He had a great time with her, she sent lots of photos so we could see what he was up to. She gave him lots of stimulation and love, and he got on with her dogs very well. He was very content, and very tired afterwards. Would definitely book Diana again, thank you

This was our first time leaving our puppy Coco with someone else, and Hayley was brilliant! She was so accommodating and understanding at how nervous I was about leaving her given she's just a baby. Hayley sent me photos throughout the day which was lovely, and best of all Coco was worn out when she came home! I would definitely recommend Hayley and we will absolutely be using her again 😀

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Northumberland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Northumberland on Rover is £23 per day (as of September 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 445 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Northumberland. About 88% 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.
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 Northumberland 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 .
