Beth was so great with my cats, she replied quickly, sent regular updates and took the time to play with and give attention to my more outgoing cat and had patience with my other who is really anxious, making sure she got fed in whatever quiet spot she was hiding in. would definitely recommend!

Craig was lovely. Very friendly and put us at ease. His communication was excellent, he took great care of our home and our cats. We were given great daily updates with photos. He tried his hardest and made progress with our 'challenging cat!' We hope to use Craig's services again in the near future!

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. I live in a two bedroom terraced house with a secure, enclosed garden, I’m also lucky enough to have a nature reserve just a 2-minute walk from my home, with plenty of space for lovely walks and exploring. 🐾

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 have a beautiful Labrador called Rex and my whole family have dogs! Love getting out on walks and would treat any dog as part of the family. I currently own a gorgeous black Labrador called Rex I’m free most weekends for drop in visits or evening visits, perfect if your out for the day! I can do multiple check ins or walks when your out My lab is sometimes lead reactive when meeting new dogs so I am very limited to caring for dogs when I have Rex, unless we arrange to meet and the dogs got used to each other over time I do work full time Monday-Friday, so can discuss daily arrangements to suit you. I have a fenced yard and fenced garden to keep dogs safe. I live local to a park for some lovely walks. Happy for them to be a part of the family when staying with me and can sleep where ever they’re comfortable!

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

About: I grew up with dogs, but since moving out of the family home and establishing life in Newcastle I miss having a furry companion! I am often trusted with looking after family / friends dogs and I live in a great area for walking them. I work full time but a lot of it is from home, and my partner gets in usually around 3pm. He has grown up with lurchers and is an avid dog lover like me. There will be plenty of time for walks and would only accept bookings where the dog will be cared for the best we can with our schedule. It is my partner and I in a flat with no pets. Whilst we don’t have a garden we have green spaces on our doorstep for regular ‘business’ trips. We live in close proximity to great parks such as Havannah, Woolsington, Weetslade, Big waters etc. Your dog would be part of the family, from coming on walks to chilling on the sofa (if allowed by you).

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: 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

I only have a yard with high fences so dogs will be walked in the evening. I also own a German Shepherd so pets have to be good with other animals

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

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.

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.

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.
