About: My name is Ella. My husband Steven and I have been pet sitting for over seven years with many satisfied owners who have asked for repeat sittings. - Experienced with cats and dogs. - We have always been commended on how clean we leave the owners' houses while pet sitting. - Regular updates available including photos. - Flexible availability, my husband is self employed and is on hand to help if needed. - My eldest daughter is a vet nurse and is always available on the phone if there are any issues. - Neither of us smoke or vape. We are looking to care for pets locally in the Northumberland area. We are currently renting so we are unable to have pets of our own, sadly! 😢 We are looking forward to meeting all your delightful fur friends! 🐾🐾 I'm a stay at home wife/mum to a teenager. My husband is self employed and often working from home. I love being at home but I'd like something to do while he's working on projects. I find myself happier in the company of animals than people 🙈 I like to keep busy and enjoy going for walks and reading in my spare time. I have done pet sits in so many different homes. I will treat your pet and home as I would my own. I'm very house proud and proud of the reviews we've had from previous pet owners. I'm very flexible and just want your fur baby to be happy so whatever they need is no problem.
“Absolutely fantastic! Went away for 2 weeks and our dog misha was well looked after! We couldn’t be any happier! Got updates and pictures of misha which was great, will definitely be using corinne again! Highly recommend”

“Lucy stayed at my home and looked after my two dogs while I went away. She was amazing and kept me updated on how things were going and answered messages quickly. I would definitely recommend Lucy to anyone. She is amazing. Thank you so much.”

“I met with Grace for a meet and greet, Grace was a very polite young lady, asked lots of questions about how to best look after my babies, I left the meet and greet with a very good feeling, on the days Grace looked after my babies in my own home, she did an amazing job, she took very good care of them, and even still sent a message of things she wasn't sure about, Grace sent videos of walking them I would definitely book again in the future with Grace and highly recommend her for looking after your babies”

“First time anxiously leaving our Mack with a dog sitter. How lucky we got finding Pablo. What a gent who genuinely had Mack’s best interests at heart. Listened to everything we said about his behaviours and both seemed to enjoy one another’s company. Confidently let him explore off lead in on his favourite walks. We both felt 💯 confident that Mack was safe and well. When he said he would look after him like his own, he truly did. Couldn’t be happier with Pablo and highly recommend. Thanks Pablo. You’re a Star 🌟”

“Maya was amazing from the very beginning; during the meet and greet I instantly felt comfortable with her and she engaged well with Walter. We shared information about Walter whilst he was in Mayas care and Maya took the information on board. During Walter’s care with Maya whilst we were away we received lots of updates, messages and was updated about their day. Maya went above and beyond not only ensuring Walter’s care and comfort was provided for but also ensuring my worries and anxieties as an owner leaving my dog was also met. Maya really looked out for Walter ensuring he didn’t feel lonely or withdrawn, Maya followed our instructions for Walter’s care and I am over the moon with her! I will be booking Maya again in the future and I can’t recommend her enough. Thankyou again Maya!”

About: Hello, I'm Vicky, owner of 2 cats, Owen & Ruby. They're brother and sister, one rules upstairs and the other downstairs! I’ve been around cats almost my whole life, from getting my first one at 12 years old and looking after neighbours' and family cats before then. I am currently on maternity leave & may need to bring my baby with me. If you have any questions, please ask!
“When Louise came over to first meet buddy, he instantly warmed up to her, which is unusual as he can be quite nervous around new people. She kept me updated with how buddy was doing and helped to make the whole experience easy. I will definately be using her services again, and im sure buddy cant wait!”


“Jessica was a fantastic dog sitter. I felt really at ease knowing my dog was left in such capable hands. She sent regular updates, asked questions rather than just guessing, and truly cared for my dog. I would certainly recommend!”


About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a baby. Growing up my grandparents also owned parrots, bunnies, dogs of all sizes, cats, tortoises, fish, you name it…my parents always had dogs and cats. I also owned a dog for 11 years. I feel most comfortable around animals :) Being an older sister of 3, I grew up being the responsible one, caretaker and I’d also walk the dogs, train them, feed them and help my parents in any way I could. When I adopted my first own dog, I learned how much love I have to give and how much responsibility it takes to look after a furbaby. He was very anxious and reactive, so it was 11 years of learning and challenges, but he was the sweetest and goodest boy, right up until the end. I’m currently working full-time. For now I’m looking to combine my love for animals and building up a side income during my free time. I’m happy to look after and walk your pets during my free time on the weekends. I can drive which allows me to get to places a bit further out. I cannot have pets in my own home sadly. However, I’m happy to come in and check on your kitten or pooch while you’re away. I can also pet sit if needed and play with, feed and walk your dogs. I can also train and teach your dog (or cat, if they feel like it haha) some tricks. Work on their confidence by using gentle rewards and lots of patience on their walks. I have experience with reactive dogs and I know how important it is to maintain comfort and special care for the sensitive pups.

About: I’ve absolutely loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by all kinds of pets. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs and more, so I’m confident adapting to different animals and their individual needs. I currently have a Shih Tzu called Teddy, who means the world to me, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pet. I also have plenty of experience with cats, having looked after my own over the years, and my partner has five cats, so I’m very used to feeding, playing, cleaning litter trays and making sure each cat gets the attention and affection they need. I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles or simply having someone calm and reassuring around, I’ll always make sure they feel safe, happy and cared for. I’ll look after your pets with the same love, patience and care that I give Teddy, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind 🩷 I work in a school during term time, which means I have great availability during weekends, bank holidays, half terms and school holidays. I’m also available throughout the 6-week summer holidays, giving me plenty of flexibility for longer stays and when you may need extra support with your pets. I’m available for overnight stays, and longer periods of care during school holidays, offering reliable and loving support when you need someone you can trust with your pets 🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for dogs and cats in their own home, I understand how important it is for them to remain in a familiar environment where they feel secure and relaxed. I will always take the time to learn your pet’s individual routine, personality and needs, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, favourite toys, sleeping arrangements and any specific instructions you have. I’ll make sure their environment stays clean, safe and comfortable while providing plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime and affection. I understand that every pet is different. Some may be energetic and love long walks and play, while others may prefer a quieter approach with lots of patience and reassurance. I’ll always respect their personality and make sure they receive care that suits them as an individual. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, providing reliable and loving care while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, giving you peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe and well looked after in their own home 🩷
About: I love looking after dogs and am always the go to dog sitter out of all my friends. I have been a dog owner myself, and love caring for dogs. I love all animals, and I'm happy to do drop-ins for any type of animal - other than spiders, I'm terrified of them! I work full time from home so will have lots of availability to support during the week and I am around on some weekends too. I have a fenced garden that is very secure so the dogs will have lots of opportunity to go outside. Adult only home with no other animals.
“Emily took great car of my greyhound, Abra. She kept me informed as to how Abra was, took great care of the house and Abra was happy and settled when I returned. I would definitely use Emily again and highly recommend.”


“Katie is lovely, we had a couple of meets before our holiday so she could meet our 3 dogs, she was always on time, very tidy,in fact the house was cleaner when we got back, got regular photos of the dogs playing games and having cuddles, we would not hesitate to book Katie again to look after our fur babies.”

“We booked Elizabeth last minute . Communication was very easy . Everything went grate , Elizabeth is very good with pets . She was great with Emma and they had nice time . Would definitely highly recommend.”


About: Hello! I'm Oscar, I'm 36 years old, and I love animals! That's why I'm here! I am also a volunteer carer at the Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter, so I am more than comfortable around any pet and will be able to attend to your pets' needs. My cats, Nala and Marie, are everything to me. They're both rescued cats from the streets. They're house cats but they do enjoy some outdoor time, we love to take them out on leads to have a little walk on the porch or back garden. I know what I'd want from someone looking after my girls, and always try to do the best for others peoples' pets!

The average cost for House Sitting in Northumberland on Rover is £39.1 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Northumberland walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Northumberland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
