Dog Sitting in New Castle

“Gavin was wonderful with my dogs. He arrived on time, made sure they got plenty of outside time, and even brought in a package from my front steps. I am very glad to have Gavin available to watch my boys when I need to be away.”

“Leah has been absolutely amazing taking care of my dog Otis while I recover from surgery. She is easy to communicate with, shows up on time with a smile, and most importantly clearly truly cares about Otis being happy and getting the care he needs. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring person to help take care of my pet.”

“Teresa was exactly on time and prepared to play. She is friendly, conscientious, and obviously loves animals. My dogs had a great workout with her in the yard and I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her. I also really appreciate that she respects the boundaries of my anxious doggo and listened to the advice I gave about bonding with her. I now feel confident about hiring Teresa for dog sitting in my home.”

About: Growing up with dogs in and around the family, I am no stranger to caring for them. From dog sitting to daily walks to simple check ins, I’ve done the lot. I truly enjoy treating every dog with the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working in a flexible, part time capacity, so I’ll have plenty of time to walk and play with the pups as needed! I always make sure to be respectful and courteous of the clients home. Don’t touch unless express consent is given, and leave things as I found them!

About: Pets (and their people!) can sense my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail right away. I think it's because I'm a natural "pet magnet" - peaceful & present with animals of all kinds. I never cut corners when it comes to pet care or comfort. Whether it's extra snuggles, sticking to a precise routine, or noticing small changes in behavior, I bring a watchful eye and a caring heart to every visit. At home, I have hands-on experience with a variety of dogs. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, from toy breeds to large companions. I’ve also cared for cats, fish, and birds for years, so you can call on me for a wide range of companion animal needs. The safety, happiness, and well-being of your pets are my top priorities. I am ever-mindful of how much they mean to you, and that informs the care I provide. I have lots of flexibility with scheduling at this time. Just as long as another owner hasn't booked me already, I am available seven days a week. I will follow your instructions for how you keep your pets in your home. Feeding routines, potty routines, play-time and walks, whether or not they're allowed on furniture - you call the shots!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my French Bulldog, Buoy. Being his owner has given me hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and all the little details that keep dogs happy, healthy, and comfortable. In addition to caring for my own pup, work as a babysitter, and many of the families I work with have both dogs and cats. I regularly help care for their pets as part of my time with them—whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company while their owners are away. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m very comfortable balancing both child and pet care in a calm, attentive way. I’ve also spent a lot of time helping family members with their dogs, including energetic Labs and a sweet Dachshund, so I’m familiar with a range of sizes, temperaments, and exercise needs. I’m reliable, patient, and tuned into each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, slow sniff-filled strolls, or just a little extra attention—or your cat prefers a calm, gentle approach—I’m here to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. I work as a teacher, so am primarily looking to find pet care jobs on the weekends, but would potentially have availability during the weekday evenings if needed. I like to take the time to really get to know each animal and understand their personality, routine, and comfort level. Every pet is different, and I want them to feel safe and relaxed with me from the start. I prefer to schedule a meet and greet with both the pet and owner before beginning any drop-in visits or walks. This gives me a chance to learn their routine, go over any specific needs or preferences, and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. It also helps your pet feel more comfortable since we’ve already met in a familiar environment.

“Thank you, Meghann, you did a wonderful job!”

About: Hi there! I’m Enzo, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets—dogs (from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors), cats, farm animals, and even reptiles. I love making sure every animal gets the attention and care they deserve! I’m also the proud owner of my dog, Vito! We stay active with hikes, mountain biking, training sessions, and plenty of other outdoor adventures. If your dog loves exploring, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation! I also offer leash training as a service, so pups can have fun while learning good habits. And if your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy providing calm walks and relaxed companionship. Whether it’s a walk through the neighborhood, an adventure in the woods, or a home visit, your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities! I take the time to earn their trust and always treat them with respect, so they feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while you’re away! I can be very flexible and accommodating for your pets needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or midday walks. Let me know your pet's routine and I'll be happy to accommodate! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I create a loving, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel safe and cared for. I’ll take the time to earn their trust, respect their personality, and make sure every walk or visit is fun, relaxing, and stress-free!

“Will is wonderful with our dog and wonderful to work with. He even organized a doggie play date for our dog with a neighbor dog. So creative and going the extra mile.”

About: I am a kind and caring person to all animals. I’ve housesat and taken care of neighbors dogs and cats when they were away. I have experience with heat-sensitive pets so I have experience gauging pets’ comfort level in relation to outside weather. I'm free mostly anytime, I’m extremely responsible and will take careful and loving care of all animals that I take care of through rover. I’ve always loved animals and rover is a great opportunity to earn money while having fun. Dogs would get my undivided attention during walks and other services. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I truly love animals and I have time to give them the care they need. Thank you for the consideration! I currently work remote so I am flexible in regards to when a pet needs care at any time. I also have availability on the weekends. I have ample space for pets to enjoy and run around. I live in a friendly neighborhood with minimal car traffic for walks. Open backyard as well.

“Isabelle is always very sweet and attentive with our older pup. We were excited to have her return for a drop in visit to care for both our older pup and her new puppy sister. She was very communicative and responsive, and I know the girls were well cared for. The picture updates were super cute and appreciated as well!”

About: I love dogs and have a beautiful almost 9 yo 1/2 Lab 1/2 GSP of my own who I fostered and then adopted February 2018; she will gladly keep your dog company and busy playing at my home. I have a large fenced in back yard 2 miles from downtown Portsmouth with plenty of room for the dogs to play and run around in. I am recently retired from Corp Amer, and am home with the dogs so they won’t be left alone. I will only take up to 2 dogs (dogs must be over 2 years of age and show zero signs of any aggression) in at a time for day care and 1 or 2 for boarding so your dog will get plenty of love and one on one attention. My prices may be a little bit higher than other people on this app, but that is because I’m only taking one or two dogs at a time and your dog is getting 1:1 care versus being in a rowdy kennel type environment with several dogs around. You can rest assured knowing I will care for your pets better than most. When I am walking your dog, I will engage with them, give them loads of attention, and will not be looking at/reading my phone. There are toys and tennis balls for them to play with in the yard and they will be let out every 2 hours for potty breaks and play, and can lounge around on the couches if they feel like it too. If they are 100% trained with recall, we go for 2 off leash trail enrichment hikes/ walks per day, otherwise they can be walked on leash around my neighborhood. At bed time, I play soft spa like music so the pups can sleep well and comfortable. I would like to have a meet and greet with all dogs and owners before they board at my home. My daycare rates are for up to 8 hours per day. If you drop your dog off at 8:30am, the dog must be picked up by 4:30pm otherwise you will be charged an additional half day rate. Latest pickup is 6:30pm. After 6:30pm it becomes an overnight. Drop offs must be before 6pm. I cater to dogs that need a little extra support and don’t do well in a chaotic kennel environment, which is why it is more of a “boutique “style service. (1:1) At the most, I might pop out for an hour but the dogs will not be left alone for more than an hour or 2 max. I have a large crate here if your dogs likes to be crated. I am not currently housesitting, only taking dogs in at my home. I do not book out months in advance. I generally only book out 1-2 months in advance. I am now currently only booking through Aug 2026. I let the dogs out every couple of hours for potty breaks and play. I will only take in 2-3 dogs max for daycare at a time and one or two dogs at a time for overnights, as to not overwhelm any of the dogs. This is a relaxed stress free environment for the dogs. I do not take in any dogs that show any signs of aggression.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was very young, always having family pets. I’m patient and enjoy having a furry companion at my side. I’m trustworthy and ready to help you with your pet care needs. I’m semi-retired and am available for playtime, walks or overnights. My routine is generally flexible making me available throughout the day or evenings as needed. I will give your pet my undivided attention and follow your instructions to the letter. I want both you and your pet to know I can be counted on for safety and peace of mind. I’ll also give your fur baby plenty of love and attention.

“This was the second time Barbara dropped in to watch my cat, and she did a great job! I really appreciate how communicative she is, and I always feel comfortable knowing she is there!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors and family members since I was about 8. In high school my mother and I fostered Basset Hounds for the New England Basset Hound rescue group. We had between 2-4 dogs to take care of on top of our 2 dogs and cat. I’m currently working hybrid 3 days in office 2 days from home usually Monday and Friday so I can do visits or walks as needed! Weekends I am typically available all day. Will be very carful to follow all set requests to make sure owners and pets are comfortable! Good with pets that jump or need extra love!

About: Hi there — I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to our pets—every dog has their own routines, quirks, comfort levels, and needs, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes your pup feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful, shy and cautious, older and in need of a slower pace, or has specific behavioral or medical needs, communication is everything. Please share any concerns, routines, triggers, fears, or special requests ahead of time—we’ll work together to make their stay as stress-free and personalized as possible. My home offers a large yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of love, structure, and attention. I’m also a mom to two amazing kids (ages 5 and 7) who have been raised around animals and are very respectful of pet boundaries, body language, and personal space. For overnight stays, I do recommend bringing your dog’s crate if they’re crate-trained or may need a familiar, secure space for bedtime or decompression. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for—while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I can do overnights Wednesday Thursday and Fridays! Just reach out to me, schedule updated weekly for other services - overnights stay the same. Thanks! Your pet - your rules! I can play, snuggle, walk, feed, bathe your pet. I can crate your pet if requested. What you say goes!

About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid from fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats, dogs, you name it. I’ve nannied and watched their dogs. I’ve had roommates with animals. Love to take care of animals and give them all the attention! I work from home full-time, so caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m always around to give walks, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday stroll or some playtime between meetings, I love incorporating pet care into my schedule! I don’t have a yard but I live very close to a dog park if that’s something you’re comfortable with. I also live by a trail and a few miles from the beach. Your animal can easily be crated/uncrated based upon your preferences. I am very big on making sure the animal trusts me before doing anything else.

“Jenna was available super short term to check in on my dogs at night. She's very reliable and I'd recommend her anytime! Will definitely book her again:)”
