I booked Shawn a little last minute right before my vacation, she is amazing! This is my first time using the app and having a sitter for my babies! She went above what I expected and truly was so much help, such an attentive sitter. I definitely recommend booking her to take care of your fur babies! Truly the sweetest women!

Courtney was so great with Nittany! We had a bit of an unconventional ask to pick Nittany up from our wedding and bring her to daycare and Courtney was very easy to communicate with and was such a huge help on a very busy day.

This was our first time using Rover and Rebecca, someone other than family to care for our pups, one of our pups is Medical Needs. Communication was great, which helped ease my anxiety. The pups seemed happy and perfect when we got home. Great experience!!!!

My availability is anytime after 4pm but before 9pm on weekdays and anytime after 8am but before 10pm on weekends.

Alexandra is amazing. It is so obvious that she is an animal lover. We felt confident in leaving her with our animals and trusted her completely in our home. Alexandra sent photos and updated us often. We came home to happy fur babies. We will definitely be reaching out to Alexandria in the future and you should too.

About: I've had dogs for over 25 years and most recently I'm caring for a dog with a seizure disorder. Everything from young energetic puppies to elderly dogs. I have worked with an organization called Missing Pet Partnership (an organization started by a police officer who trained scent detection dogs). I was trained to find lost pets and the psychology of dogs and cats including training in pet first aid and CPR. My previous career was as a special education teacher. I now work full-time from home. I would love to play with and care for your pup! No pet too big or small. I hope to hear from you, thanks. I am currently working full-time from home and I will have plenty of time to play with your for baby I'm available for boarding on weekdays, weekends, nights and even holidays. I work from home and have a very large fenced yard that is fully secure for the smallest dog and 5 and a 1/2 feet tall for larger dogs. My home is set back from the road on a quiet private street for your peace of mind. I have two small friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed based on your preference and socialization with my dogs is entirely up to you. My home has separate areas to accommodate a variety of situations including multi pet homes that crate and rotate dogs, dogs with medical needs who need to be in separate areas, etc. For overnight stays I will tailor your dogs experience to ensure it is a home away from home.

About: Hi there! My name is Brianna, and I’ve worked as a kennel assistant, caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m skilled in nail trims, medication administration, and insulin injections, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience working with dogs, cats, and exotic animals — from reptiles to small mammals and birds — and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am working a full time job- but have plenty of time in the afternoons! Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I’m used to following feeding, walking, and medication schedules from my experience as a kennel assistant, so caring for animals fits naturally into my routine. I make time each day to check in on pets, go for walks, and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early-morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I always make sure animals stay on their normal schedule. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like extra work to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day When I care for pets, I focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I always follow their normal routines — from walks and feedings to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. In a client’s home, I treat your space and pets with the same care I give my own. I can also handle nail trims, medication, and insulin when needed, and I make sure every animal gets plenty of love and attention. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or exotic pets, I do my best to make sure they feel calm, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

Your pet’s schedule will always come first, and I’ll follow any instructions you provide to keep them happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

For your peace of mind: •I can crate your pet if requested •I can keep your pet separate from mine if needed •I follow your routines and safety preferences •I do slow, supervised introductions to ensure comfort •I always maintain a clean, secure environment Whether your pet loves socializing or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home.

About: I’ve had animal training internships including one at UPenn. I worked with law enforcement and detection K9s ranging from puppies to professional dogs in their chosen field. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue since I was 7 years old. I worked with animals from all different backgrounds and disciplines ranging all the way from dogs to horses. I am currently working part-time so I can work around scheduling to be able to provide the best care possible for your animals at the most convenient times. I have education in animal husbandry, nutrition, and management. I follow instructions very carefully so however the owner prefers their animal to be cared for is how it will be treated.

About: I have never not had a dog in my home ! I have experience taking care of my own dog, as well as taking care of puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and everything in between. I have years of dogsitting experience, and they are just my absolute favorite thing in the world. I have recently graduated from college and am looking to petsit while adjusting back to being in Delaware! I have very open availability at this time. Because I live in a small living space with two of my own pets, I would prefer to care for your pets in your home! If this is not possible, that’s totally ok, I just want to make sure your pets have as much space to relax and play as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in New Castle on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,783 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
