“Elizabeth was a wonderful sitter for Odie. She was very attentive to his specific needs and was more than capable of handling my 85lb Shepard mix. Odie was relaxed and happy while I was away even with his severe separation anxiety. 100% would recommend her as your next sitter!”
“My furbaby loves going to Jade’s. Jade keeps me updated throughout the stay and returns Keisha to me happy, healthy and relaxed. Jade always accepts my last minute requests with a willingness to accommodate my unpredictable schedule. Jade is my go-to sitter every time.”
“Susan took such good care of our sneaky hound, it seemed like she was on a vacation of her own. Susan made sure our pup was entertained, happy, and provided her with plenty of belly rubs. (Though our pup would insist on more, I’m sure haha.) We looked forward to her messages throughout the booking, as she shared photos, funny stories, and the sweetest check-ins. We’ll definitely send our girl back to stay with her new BFF next time and for all the trips in our future.”
“Once again, I can't say enough about Coleen! She takes care of Dreamer just like her own dog. He's spoiled to no end! He gets so excited going to her house and he's so comfortable during his stay. When I came to get him, he looked at me like "Who are you?". I highly recommend Coleen to everyone....you won't be disappointed.”
“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”
“Justin and Stephanie will absolutely be our new go- to pet sitters. The pictures updates they sent said more than a thousand words! Our pup was loved and exercised daily. They followed all instructions and kept us in the loop with everything. 100/10 amazing.”
“Darla was so well taken care of during her stay with Carol. I received daily pictures and updates and Carol even has Doggie TV, which Darla absolutely was captivated by. Carol also sent Darla home with a toy that she liked while staying with her. It was so nice! I intend to use Carol again when I have to travel in the future.”
“Same day Boarding request for 2 puppies under 1 year old. Corey has a fenced yard, he provides photos and videos each day and keeps the puppies and their bedding very clean. My puppies came home with freshly washed bedding and their own baths! What a Treat!”
“Kaycie squeezed us in last minute and was AMAZING! Great communication, and our pup had an awesome time! Will definitely be using her services again if needed when we’re in the area!”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“I boarded my two dogs, Simba and Ghost, with Sunaina for five nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She took excellent care of them, followed all of my instructions to the letter, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It was clear that Simba and Ghost were comfortable and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sunaina to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”
“We are new to the area and we’ve always had friends or family watch our pups. This was the first time we needed to use Rover. Nancy gave us a great first experience and I’m so glad we have someone we can trust to leave our pups with if we ever need to board again! She asked great questions to get to know our pups before us dropping them off and she kept us up to date everyday with plenty of pics and videos. Nancy was very responsive as well. We will certainly be reaching out to her for future needs. Thanks again Nancy!”
About: I work in a veterinary hospital as a kennel technician, where I care for animals daily by feeding, cleaning, exercising, monitoring behavior, and ensuring their comfort and safety under professional supervision. I’m currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 12. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, bring your own if you have a big dog if not the case I have small ones.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and an ICU nurse, so I understand how important staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is—and that goes for our dogs too! Although I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from Dobermans to Yorkshire Terriers. I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to tailor my care to whatever works best for you and your pup. I live in an apartment, but I’m surrounded by parks and great walking areas, so I can take your dog on walks around your neighborhood or to nearby parks for some extra exercise and enrichment. I’m also a great fit for dogs who may not do well around other pets, as I’m happy to give them one-on-one attention in a comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow your preferred routine and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m also happy to send as many photos and videos as you’d like to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾❤️ I am surrounded by many parks, so taking advantage of the weather and getting my steps in with your dog is one way to make them feel comfortable and making sure their physical needs are met. I am trustworthy and transparent when taking care of pets. I treat them like my own while following any special care they need! I am happy to send updates through photos or videos as well.
“I can't say enough good things about Ashley! She was absolutely fantastic with Kodak. From the moment I met her, I could tell she was genuine and caring, and that definitely showed in the way she took care of him. Kodak was clearly happy and well-cared for, and I received updates with pictures, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
About: I don't just watch dogs—I welcome them into my family. Every pup receives personalized attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I work for the Red Clay School District, so I have weekends, holidays, and summers off. My typical work hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and my school is very close to home, which allows me to come home during my lunch breaks. I make it a priority not to leave the pups home alone for more than four hours at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family. I have a fully fenced yard, two friendly Shih-Poos who love making new friends, and a calm, loving environment. I'll follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions, so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.
“Amy and Cathy were wonderful! We have a special needs dog who is diabetic and they were great administering the medication and ensuring that she was doing well. We got regular updates from them and felt good being away that our dogs were in such good care.”
“This is our second time with Shanisa, and she is so wonderful with our dog. She is caring and very communicative. He was so happy to see her! Five stars for sure.”
“Sherry was so kind and attentive to our dog. She had us do a meet-and-greet, which helped my dog to go to her when we dropped her off. She sent us pictures and videos while we were apart. She walked our dog frequently. We are grateful for her kindness to our dog.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in New Castle is $55

Amber took great care of our dog, Topee, while we were away. Before our trip, she took the time to meet Topee and get to know him, which immediately gave us confidence that he would be in great hands. He came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. Amber also sent us photos from his walks and thoughtful updates that gave us peace of mind and made it easy to enjoy our trip. We would not hesitate to book Amber again. Thank you a million times, Amber!
The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in New Castle on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,011 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New Castle. About 90% of New Castle sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
