“Kash had a wonderful time staying with Briana, her family and his new friend Duke! Briana sent several pictures daily and kept up updated on his eating, playing and sleeping routine. We knew he was getting the love and attention as if he was home.”
“Excellent sitter. Kaitlin provided pictures throughout our dogs stay, and was quick with her replies to any question I might have. She has a wonderful fenced in yard. Will surely use her services again.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats since 1985 and was on a K9 Search and Rescue team for 18+ years so I have worked with all types of dogs and have a lot of experience with training. I currently work outside the home M-F 9-5 but can work from home upon request. Weekends I am home the majority of the time and spend most of my time hanging out with my own dogs (two labs) I have hosted a variety of dogs in my home including corgis, labs, goldens, frenchies, pitties, mals, and other assorted breeds. I treat everyone's pets just like my own - lots of treats, snuggles, couch naps, and of course sleeping on the bed if they want. Both of my labs are extremely friendly and love pretty much all dogs, but I do have experience sitting some dogs who preferred to be separate from my boys via either baby gates or kennels (depending on what the dog is comfortable with). I have a large fenced in backyard and a smaller fenced in front yard. The backyard has a doggie door that allows the dogs to go in and out at will, although when I am not home, I do not give any dogs access to the yard (even my own dogs as a safety issue).
“Had a great first experience with Rover because of Amanda. She was awesome with my dog Pippie understood her personality as an older dog , and answered questions I had since it was my first time leaving my dog with someone new. Will absolutely use services if available in the future.”
“Chelsea took wonderful care of Duke, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and flexibility. When the weather was rough at drop-off, she was very accommodating, which immediately put me at ease. This was my second time booking with Chelsea, and she was just as attentive and thoughtful as before. It was obvious Duke was well loved and cared for in her home. I also really appreciated the care and play Duke received from her son — it was clear he was given lots of attention and affection. I felt confident knowing Duke was in such good hands and would absolutely have Chelsea as my go-to sitter in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Shyann was so good with Nova. And I must say Nova loved playing with Poppy. Everything was great she sent me pictures and I just knew Nova was doing great with her. I know that I will definitely be taking Nova back she was wore out at a great day. I would recommend Shyann to everyone.”
“Leni loved staying with Anthony and Leslie! They played with her, took her for walks, and treated her like family! We look forward to having Anthony and Leslie keep Leni for us next month 😁”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“We were away for 7 days and Carly kept us updated daily with photos of Norman-he seemed happy and adjusted well with his stay! I would highly recommend Carly if you’re looking for someone who cares about your pet! We will definitely be booking with Carly again!”

“Lindsey was great! She sent me pictures of my pup and messages while I was gone. My pup had a blast playing with her dogs and she came home with all the parts she went there with. Lindsey really treated her like one of her own. I’ll use her again in a heartbeat.”
“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“Gina was great at taking great care of Mimi. She sent numerous updates and photos of Mimi during their daily activities. Gina was attentive to Mimi's needs. Our dog was well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Castle
Marissa ( and her family) both are awesome! I had to leave my little dog with her at the last minute when I was traveling through town. She went above and beyond with communicating with me, also sent sweet pictures that let me know he was ok. She gets 5+ stars from me! I hope she knows what comfort she provided to both me and my dog, Patrick.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in New Castle on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 204 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across New Castle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of New Castle sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which New Castle landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Castle home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your New Castle.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your New Castle sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
