“Camilla was amazing and took such great care of our dogs. We appreciated all of the photos that she sent and all of the detailed updates. We will absolutely request her in the future!”
“Caitlyn took such good care of Hambone while we were on vacation. She is thorough, communicative, caring, and trustworthy. Would recommend her to any pet parent. Thank you, Caitlyn!”
“Catherine has been wonderful with our new puppy, Penny! She offers fun enrichment activities for her and crafts (for us!). She is punctual and offers great communication, we couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well. Even though every dog is different, I am able to provide adequate care and attention to every fur baby that I have the privilege of looking after. I am currently a student and have plenty of down time when I am not at school. This includes Fridays and Weekends and I can be pretty flexible with time! I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.
“Melody was wonderful with both dogs and gave them the time and attention while we were away. Additionally, she provided feedback on their activity and any concerns she recognized. I highly recommend Melody and will continue requesting her support.”
“very responsive and kind, she helped us out while we were out of town and none of our friends could come help with feeding our little one! definitely gonna come back to her if we need help like this again ❤️”
“Diana was very sweet and on time. My old pup got comfortable with her real quick. I liked that she was very observant and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. Overall I had a great experience. Can’t wait to have her back!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy overnight. We could not ask for a better person! Kayla was wonderful and helped us calm our anxious feelings about leaving him. The pictures gave me a sense of peace that he was in great hands. Will definitely be using Kayla soon!”
“Ray is Great! I use him on repeat for boarding and dropping in. Great Communicator. My pup knows him and loves him. Always 5 Stars! Thanks again Ray for accepting this last booking on short notice!”
“Claire was amazing with my babies!! She cared for them while I was away like they were her own. I came home to happy babies and all thanks to Claire!! I will absolutely book with her again 😻”
“Amy was such a life saver!!! Our flights were canceled and couldn't make it back until the following day. She was quick to communicate with and was able to check in on our Happy boy (cat)!!!”
“Jessie was amazing!! She was very dependable and took great care of our cat, Luna, while were on vacation. Our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy to see Jessie each day. We loved that Jessie sent us pictures and videos with daily updates. I could tell that Luna was in great hands and much less stressed. Jessie treated Luna just like her own fur baby and gave her all the love and attention she is used to getting while we are home. Overall, this was such a great experience, and I would recommend Jessie to anyone. We will definitely book again next time.”
“Sara responded quickly to my messages and my same day request to check on my dog. She helped me with the mess my dog had made chewing up a floor mat. Sara messaged me to tell me what happened and I was able to get her help with everything that day. I’m so appreciative that she was able to help me out that day.”
About: I have around four years of consistent experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have an older dog of my own, so I understand senior care firsthand, including monitoring comfort, energy, and health needs. I also regularly pet-sit for families with elderly dogs, which has strengthened my ability to provide calm, attentive care. In addition, I have cared for puppies and understand the patience, structure, and supervision they require. Having experience with both puppies and senior dogs allows me to adapt easily to each dog’s unique needs and routine. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. My availability can vary by semester, but I always communicate clearly and plan ahead to ensure pets receive consistent attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety and trust in every home I enter. I carefully follow feeding instructions, walking routines, and medication schedules when needed. I monitor behavior closely, keep environments clean and secure, and always respect a pet’s comfort level. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors, and understand the importance of calm, reliable care.
“Jamiya took GREAT care of my baby (cat.) She sent lots of pictures and came up with new ways to keep him entertained! I felt completely comfortable with her care and will definitely be booking with her again!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Castle
Caitlyn was so wonderful and took the best care of our three cats! I felt like she catered to each of their personalities and took the time to find their hiding spots and help them feel at ease. She was also diligent at playing with them each day, our most energetic little guy was at ease when we got home, no pent up energy! She gave thorough updates and took pictures every day, A+ communication! We will be rebooking in the future! Thanks again, Caitlyn!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 460 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Castle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Castle. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
