“We were a little nervous to leave our cat for the first time and have somebody come and stay at our house while we were working away, but Corinne was so lovely. She took amazing care of our little Vinnie while we were gone and left our house lovely and clean. We would definitely have her come and stay again if we ever go away and I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family members. Thanks so much once again! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life and I am currently studying animal care in college so I am able to carry out care for pets to a high standard and I have also received qualifications in this sector. I am able to do this morning and night between 6-8am and 6-10pm on weekdays due to college and other responsibilities and 6-8am and 2-8pm on weekends due to working. Feeding, grooming, watering, walking. I do this on a daily basis due to having pets of my own, and I have done this for many years.
“Cheryl was excellent and would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to care for their pets. She look brilliant care of our dog, especially at short notice, and sent lots of photos and updates. Would not hesitate to book Cheryl again.”


“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!”

“Maya was absolutely great. This was the first time I’d had a sitter stay in my home whilst I was away. Maya kept me up to date with regular photos and messages. The dogs loved her and she looked after them like her own. I definitely recommend Maya.”

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.
“Elizabeth looked after my 9 year old Lab for the weekend and I arrived home to a happy, chilled dog. I received photos from when she first arrived and also of Archie on his walks (one very long one which he would have loved!). I would recommend Elizabeth and definitely book her again.”

“It was really reassuring to have Eva looking after Hamish at home while we enjoyed a day out. She kept us updated and took Hamish for a long walk. Everything was in perfect order when we got home.”

“This was the second time Louise looked after Buddy, and yet again she did a brilliant job. She kept us updated daily so we were able to enjoy our weekend break, with confidence that Buddy was in very kind and capable hands. Thanks a million Louise! We will undoubtedly use your services again!”

“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.”

About: (HYPOALLERGENIC DOGS ONLY) Hi I’m a massive animal lover. I have experience with dogs. Cockapoo , patterdale terrier, Greyhound ,Cavachon and Beagles. I own a dog myself called Olive.I have a lovely big garden and live walking distance to a country park. I am a very honest and trustworthy person with a strong love for animals. I am a full time mammy to a two year old who adores dogs so much and also run my own business which is extremely flexible. My husband also adores dogs and has grown up with them for 40 years large and small breeds. I live in a nice house with a big garden. The dogs always get lots of attention and cuddles come first. I hope to hear from you soon 🥰 I also have an Irish Water Doodle too. She’s called Olive and is so friendly with dogs and people. I am a full time mammy of a three year old boy and an Irish Doodle Olive. I’m at home everyday. Weekends my husband is off also. I have a fenced garden, my husband has had dogs for 40 years throughout his childhood until now. My little boy adores dogs of every size.

“Maya is a fantastic pet and house sitter. We are so grateful that Maya could fit us in last minute. Our 2 year old Labrador was in safe hands and very well looked after. Maya gave us plenty of updates while we were away. Would not hesitate to book again!”

“Absolutely amazing service! From the first visit I knew Alannah was the perfect person to look after my dog. I was a bit apprehensive as he is very nervous and has never been left with somebody he doesn’t know really well, but settled perfectly and loved the regular updates and photographs I received throughout my holiday. She is so patient and followed his routine. Also kept my house lovely and tidy too It was very obvious she is an animal lover and genuinely cares for the animals she looks after I could not recommend enough and have booked again for my next holiday ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Ben looked after our dogs in our home whilst we had a 5 day break in Barcelona..he was nothing short of incredible! He came and met Bobby & Oscar a week before so he could meet the boys before the sit. The boys took to him straight away and we knew immediately we had made the right choice. He came v early and left v late due to our flight times and made sure they were looked after the whole time. He also sent constant pictures whilst we were away to put our mind at ease. I couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone that wants their dogs taken care of. We will be using him again soon in the near future. Thank you Ben 🥰”
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who’s a little pet deprived! I’m from the USA but currently studying for my Masters in Newcastle, and I miss my dog and cat terribly. Alongside having pets of my own, I’ve also completed house sitting jobs where I’ve cared for dogs by feeding them, letting them out and playing with them while also caring after the home. I’m responsible, tidy and happy to follow your pets routine to keep things as normal as possible I’m currently working on writing my dissertation which I luckily can do from anywhere! All I need is wifi so my schedule is super flexible. I have a small studio for pets to roam around but I also live very close to parks and plenty of trails to take walks.
“Volume looked after my two older dogs for the weekend. She was professional from the first meeting and the dogs were well looked after and happy and settled with her. She took great care of our house too. Would highly recommend.”

About: Both of us have lived with varied dog breeds our whole lives, these pets are more like siblings to us and are always the focus of our attention whether we’re in or out the house! We can guarantee your loved one is in caring hands they’ll not want the sitting to be over! We do work full time but very flexible times and have the ability to work from home where necessary. Weekends are ideal and we can fully support evenings if required at short notice. We have an abundance of nature walks in the local area and even smaller patches of green if that’s preferred. We can cater to those tired aged legs or those who prefer a marathon and even a coastal stroll! Your pet will be treat like family no matter the time and need.
“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.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Northumberland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Northumberland on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
