“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”
About: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. Now that I live in England, I really miss having doggy company and would 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.
“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: I've adored animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. Growing up around them, they’ve always been a huge part of my life and honestly never felt like “just pets” to me, they’re family. After losing my beloved Labrador last year, I started caring for other people’s dogs to help fill that quiet space, and I quickly realised how much joy it brought me. What began as helping friends and family turned into something I genuinely love, so much so that I decided to leave my fulltime job and pursue dog care full time. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, playtime, or just calm company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and happy while they’re with me. I’m reliable, patient and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and make a new friend for myself 💕 I recently left my fulltime job so I can be available all day/night to look after/walk/play with your dog. They will have all my time I have a large fenced garden and yard so any fury friend will be safe and have lots of room to explore. In the village I live there are alot of great walks that is popular for dog walking so your dog would have plenty adventures if required.
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: I've always had pets, dogs and cats. Since losing my dog and cat a few years ago, I have missed having a furbaby. I have worked for various animal rescue organisations, here in the UK, Singapore and China, and have lots of experience in caring for and owning a dog. I also completed a animal behaviour course and have 30 years experience in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I would love to look after your dog in my home. As I live in Northumberland there are many beaches and walks in the area, plus I have a large garden which your pooch would love to run around. I can't wait to meet you and your dog and welcome them into my home, giving you peace of mind while you are away. I'm retired and I will have plenty of time to walk, play and take care of your dog. Your dog will become part of our family while its with us and will join us on beach walks and outings. My home has a doubled fenced large garden so lots of space to run around. Your furbaby will have a space on the sofa and the bed and will be looked after as if they were my own.
“Celine was absolutely great. She was really flexible with timings, really easy to book and was great with Hugo. She took him on two walks during the day so he was really happy and seemed to have great fun with Celine’s own dog so it was great he had some additional company during the day too. We would definitely recommend and will certainly use Celine again when we’re back here on holiday!”
About: I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each dog’s unique temperament, with experience handling reactive, nervous, and overly friendly dogs using calm, reward-based, force-free, encouragement-based, praise-and-reward techniques. Skilled in puppy training, leash manners, socialization, senior care, medication administration, and mobility support, I ensure safety, structure, and consistent updates for total peace of mind. I believe every dog deserves more than just a walk — they deserve care, attention, and joy along the way. With a background in professional care, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm approach to every pet I look after. I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs, whether it’s a gentle stroll, an energetic adventure, or extra reassurance for nervous pups. More than exercise, my walks are about building trust and keeping tails wagging, so you can feel confident your best friend is safe, happy, and truly cared for. Pet care is at the heart of my routine — it isn’t something I fit around, it’s something I plan my day around. I structure my schedule to make sure dogs get walked on time, fed when needed, and given plenty of attention. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening check-ins, I keep a steady rhythm so pets feel secure and owners know they can rely on me every week.
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
“Kateryna was wonderful with our dog Arty and really helped at short notice! She kept me informed throughout the day with updates and pictures which was much appreciated. Arty was a happy and tired doggy at the end of the day. I would definitely rely on Kateryna for future Arty needs! Five stars!!!!”
“Our 8 month old spaniel, Bonnie, had a very fun stay with Laura, Leandro and Sindy. We received lots of updates of Bonnie napping, chasing leaves and playing with Sindy! Laura and Leandro are natural dog people and we felt very comfortable leaving Bonnie with them. I would not hesitate to leave her with this lovely couple and would highly recommend them! Thank you, Laura and Leandro!”
“Debs is just the best……. Monty loved being with her so much Great place Self contained garden Lots of nice walk and cuddles for Monty Communications were great from start to finish We wouldn’t leave him with anyone so this was a big thing for us and Deb’s relaxed us and I’m not sure Monty even wanted to come home haha. We will be back again later in the year and it will only be here to Deb’s where we come Big whoof from Monty He sends his love!!!!”
“Our Greyhound had a wonderful week spending the day with Cat whilst we were out exploring. Normally he's a bit anxious on a holiday but he settled very quickly, was eating and excited to be dropped off in the mornings. Cat was quick to respond to messages and able to be flexible around drop off and pick up time. We would 100% book him in with Cat again, and have no hesitation recommending them.”
“Ellie was brilliant. It was like leaving my dogs with a friend or family member. Finding Ellie meant we could visit Alnick Gardens. Her dog Rodney was lovely too and I think my dogs have just had the best day!! Would highly recommend Ellie.”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Northumberland is £25

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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 426 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Northumberland. About 90% 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 .
