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.
“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”

“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! 🐾”

“Piper had a great day with Gemma, she was relaxed while she was in her home. Piper got multiple walks during her day care & lots of playing with her toys. Will happily reach out to Gemma in the future!”

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.
About: I am a full time dog walker and sitting. I own a company providing this service. I have always had dogs in my life and have grown up owning and training spaniels. I currently own a Cockapoo who is 2 year old and very friendly around other dogs. Nowhere in our home is out of bounds (unless preferred by the owner). We let our dog have full roam and are happy for your dog to as well ! We have a good size garden and plenty toys to keep your pooch happy. (Also a generous supply of treats) Our current walking schedule is 3 walks a day. 1x 20 min morning walking then 2x 45 min walks at lunch and on an evening. I am a full time dog walker and sitter meaning that there will be time for 3 walks throughout the day but this can be adjusted if required. I am happy to allow your dogs to join me on group walks which is very beneficial for their socialisation. I am happy to take on extra responsibilities when caring for your pet such as medications if need be. Feel free to let me know of any extra care your pet requires
“Highly recommended. This was the 1st time a non-family member has looked after my dog and I was very apprehensive however, I felt at ease almost immediately upon entering their dog friendly home. Ros is a real natural with dogs and was very attentive to my dogs needs. I felt comfortable knowing he would be left in capable hands. I returned to find a very very happy dog. I will most definitely be returning to see Ros and Charles again :)”

“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: Dog lover for years and years, always had pooches in my life and adore their individual personalities. Love getting out and about and adore seeing them enjoy themselves. Nothing better than a contented dog. I work from home most of the week, so here to give your pooch plenty care and attention. Lots of lovely walks, cuddles and play time. Large fenced garden, so plenty fresh air if needed in-between walks. No longer have my pooch, so warm, caring attention will be given to yours.
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.

About: Hi im Nicky! I’m working towards my BCCS Level 4 Canine Behaviour & Training, I already hold a Feline Welfare certificate, and a first aid & CPR certificate! I specialise in large breeds, pullers, and nervous dogs - I’ll help work on manners while they’re with me 🐾 I have my own 6 month old Presa Canario, whom I’m training myself through positive reinforcement. I do positive‑reinforcement training only, plenty of enrichment/nature walks, can give basic medication, and am happy with all ages and temperaments! I’m currently fully available - I’m studying my Training online, so I can work around your schedule, whether it’s last minute or booked weeks in advance 😊 I do drop‑in visits, walks of any length (even nature trails!), and home boarding. I use only positive‑reinforcement methods, can give basic medication, and have experience with large/strong breeds, pullers, and nervous dogs. I keep routines consistent so your pet feels safe and happy.

About: I have been around dogs for many years and have been a dog owner since 2018, when I welcomed Ruby, my Cockapoo, into my life. I was actively involved in her training and have gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for her over the years. Although I have since moved away from home, I regularly look after Ruby when my parents are on holiday. I also occasionally care for my partner’s parents’ Weimaraner when they are away, giving me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I am currently in between jobs, so dog sitting is a great way for me to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I am also happy to look after dogs while working from home, meaning they can have company, attention and care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. At the moment, I am not working, so I have plenty of time to give dogs lots of attention, including nice long walks, regular toilet breaks and plenty of time to relax and have cuddles. When I start my new job, I will be working from home three days a week, so I will still be able to provide plenty of care and company. I can walk the dog before work and during my lunch break, as well as let them out into the garden regularly for toilet breaks. I think having a dog around while I work will be great company for both of us! I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention and be the centre of attention while they are staying with me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for in a calm and welcoming home environment.
“We left our little Ernie with the lovely debs and her wonderful husband 2 days in a row! He had the BEST time and they both made me feel so at ease when leaving him that I knew he would be in good hands! They both treated my dog like family and I will be happy to let him go back anytime!”

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.
“Joanna was brilliant with Milo, extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times! Kept us up to date throughout the day with plenty of photos and videos too! Milo had plenty of playtime with Joanna’s dogs toys and as well as lots of exercise on lovely walks! For the second consecutive day, Milo was so excited to return! Would definitely recommend!”

“Would absolutely recommend Andrew to anyone. Milo can be very anxious when left with someone new and I was constantly sent pictures and updates and he seemed to relax in Andrew’s company. Milo was very excited to visit again!”

“Aviral & his wife took excellent care of Piper, they kept me updated with what they got up to & with pictures. Piper seemed to have had a great time & wasn't wanting to leave when I came to pick her up. They looked after Piper like she was their own pup, will definitely use them again.”

“Meenu had a wonderful day with Louise. We receive frequent updates and liaise closely about pickup times. Louise is always helpful and flexible, which we really appreciate.”

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 .
