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.

Fab. Second time Beth has looked after my cats and my more anxious one was much more comfortable this time. Got regular updates so no need to worry about them while away.

My cat Victor enjoyed his visits from Celine and he is shy around new people! Celine made him at ease instantly and sent me pictures and updates and I could phone her too. We both agree Celine is the best, would highly recommend will book Celine on our next trip away.

About: I’ve owned dogs since the age of 7 and have grown up around them, so caring for dogs feels very natural to me. I have plenty of experience with both dogs and puppies and understand how important routine, patience, affection, and a safe environment are for happy pets. As a busy family home, there will always be someone home to give your dog plenty of attention, company, care, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m a mum to 2-year-old twins and a 10-month-old baby, all of whom are very gentle, loving, and used to being around dogs. We’re an active household and are more than happy to take dogs on lots of walks and little adventures while they stay with us. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and given lots of love, playtime, comfort, and one-to-one attention during their stay at The Wagging Retreat 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I am currently on maternity leave and at home full-time. This means dogs are never left alone for long periods and can enjoy regular feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have 2-year-old twins, so our days already include outdoor walks and time in the park, which works brilliantly for dog walks and little adventures. Nap times allow for calm bonding, grooming, and training, while evenings are relaxed and settled, making it ideal for cuddles and companionship. Overall, my schedule is flexible and home-based, allowing me to provide consistent care, supervision, and lots of love in a family environment. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated as part of the family. I have a fully fenced, newly refurbished back garden where dogs can safely go outside to toilet and get fresh air whenever needed. Because I’m at home full-time, I’m able to keep a close eye on them, maintain their usual routine, and give them lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have regular walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, as well as quiet time to rest. Feeding times, medication (if required), and any specific instructions from the owner are followed carefully. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help pets feel comfortable and settled. This includes feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and companionship, as well as keeping the home clean and secure. I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and loving care so owners feel confident their pet is happy and safe.

I love animals and am more than happy to meet new furry friends and take care of them whenever needed :) i currently work part time and i am off uni for the summer so besides occasional concerts i will have a lot of time to spend with your kitties/doggies. i will only ever accept to take care of them on days where i will have the whole day free to spend time with them to ensure they get the best care and attention they deserve! i want them to feel as safe as possible, i will only approach them when it’s clear they are comfortable, i go outside with them to always keep my eyes on them and i make sure they are well fed!

Lindsey was very friendly and reassuring as my young dog went away for the first time with her. ‘Frankie’ came back happy and tired and I would recommend Lindsey as you can see she loves dogs and Frankie was happy with her too.

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.

I also have experience with dogs with challenging behaviour or whether they don't like other dogs etc and need to kept on the lead or need walks in quieter places with no dogs around. I also have experience with senior dogs who were blind. Hope to hear from you soon. I work term time in a school which means I have all the holidays off. In that time your pet will have all my attention. Can do weekends also. I have a large back yard which is fenced aswell as the front. I live very close to a large field.

About: Hey! Im Kay, I’m 28 years old & I’ve grown up around dogs of all breeds my whole life. I am fully insured, DBS checked & Canine first aid trained I’ve always been the kind of person who just understands animals. I’m calm, patient and naturally tuned into their behaviour which is why I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to dog walking. I have personal experience with my own reactive dog, which is why I take my time to understand each dog properly; their personality, their needs, their quirks and build trust at their pace. Some dogs want calm, some want adventure and some just need someone who understands them without pushing too much. I have done multiple training courses covering all kinds of canine care. I am also looking to further my education in reactive dog handling. My prices do reflect the fact I am new to the dog walking business, but I am confident in my skills, I am taking things easy while I gain confidence with meeting new people and running a business, but I can’t wait to meet you and your companions! My days are pretty flexible. I do dog walking and pet services 7 days a week 9am-5pm. I don’t often offer services outside of these hours because of other commitments but that may vary Meet and greet!….. I do not offer pet sitting in my home, my reactive little guy would not be impressed with that! HOWEVER! I do offer pet sitting in YOUR home. I can pop in for the pee breaks! Or I can hang out with your hound! Let me know their routine and I can fit right into it I have a spacious and reliable dog proofed car! My car is my absolute pride and joy so I am constantly keeping up on it’s maintenance ensuring your dogs safety and my cruising enjoyment! I have dog friendly seat belts and attachments, I’m also always equipped with a full outdoor first aid kit! And I supply dog tags with my details on to clip to your dog as extra precaution. I am DBS Checked

About: I’ve had the joy of owning and caring for a family dog for the past 16 years. After recently losing him, I’d love to spend time around animals again and give that same love and attention to other pets. I’m patient, caring, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I currently work full-time, Tuesday- Friday 8am-6pm. I am available outside of these hours in the and have full availability on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I can be flexible outside of my working hours and will always make time to give your pet the attention and care they need. We live on 0.7 acres of land with no nearby neighbours, providing a calm and private environment for your pet. Our garden is fenced, and although there are no gates on the driveway, dogs will always be fully supervised when outside to ensure their safety. I also have direct access to Ponteland Park on my doorstep, offering plenty of space and variety for enjoyable walks. Your pet will be cared for in a safe, attentive, and loving environment at all times.

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

About: Experienced, reliable dog sitter offering loving, family-friendly care — with a calm, kid-safe environment and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my days around walks, playtime, and feeding schedules to make sure every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m consistent and reliable with every pet I look after. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. At my home, dogs enjoy a calm, family setting with lots of space, walks, and company from my friendly, well-behaved dog. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their routines — feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions — so their pets feel happy and settled while their owners are away.

Amazing service again with Hayley. My little dogs love people and love hugs and attention. Hayley always spends time playing with them. They are vocal when out and about and Alfie particularly can be quite reactive to other dogs. We are always confident Hayley can manage this well as she has got to know them. At some point they may learn personal space and not sit on her head whenever she comes but they sure do love her

Lindsey was very friendly and reassuring as my young dog went away for the first time with her. ‘Frankie’ came back happy and tired and I would recommend Lindsey as you can see she loves dogs and Frankie was happy with her too.

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.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Northumberland pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
