About: I'm always available and I love all animals. I'm CPR certified and I calm with emergency situations and know how to handle them. I have two dogs of my own and a spoiled rotten cat as well as a friend who lives with me and helps with the animals. I am very flexible with my hours and rates. I'm open to sitting for cats and dogs only. In emergencies I will be happy to transport to owners vet at their expense. I do not potty train. All animals must have some obedience training and be housebroken before I can make any pet sitting exceptions. I will provide food, toys, crates, or anything your pet needs during its stay. I can't wait to start watching your pet. I am willing to help with obedience training. For grooming or any kind of pet services I will need copies of vaccination records as well as emergency contact numbers as you pet will use my own professional groomer who is paid 40.00 per pet at your expense & I will need time to book an appointment in advance with a groomer. I am home all the time, I stay home so I can take care of my own dogs & keep my home clean. Rover is my job I have a fenced in run connected to an enclosed patio & I allow them to be inside bedrooms in their crates or play in my living room & kitchen area with supervision, they must be house broken

Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats ranging in ages my entire life. I would love to treat your pets like my own. I have experience with separation anxiety in dogs, mischievous chewers, puppy training, and severe food allergies. I am confident in giving medicines to your fur babies as my own often find themselves taking medications. I also know how important maintaining your pups daily routine can be while you are gone. I am a teacher on summer break, therefore I am available all day to work with your pet babies! Would love to hang out with your pet on the greenway or just in the yard and fill my days with some puppy smiles. I currently have two dogs of my own Biscuit and Rusty with very unique needs. Rusty has been my companion for the last 9 years. He’s been through many moves and adjustments with me. Currently Rusty is beginning to show signs of arthritis so we are adjusting our care to best fit our little old man. More recently, my husband and I adopted a 1 1/2 year old Pit Bull named Biscuit. Biscuit has allowed me to gain experience caring for a dog with extreme allergies. She is the most playful of the two and is always keeping us laughing. I have experience giving daily medicine as well as dealing with an upset doggy stomach. We love our two fur babies and treat them as part of our family and I will extend this love and care to your fur babes too!

Experienced in dog walking, schedules, animal feedings and house sitting. A lil background about me ~ I am a retired elementary teacher switching careers into Counseling/Therapy, starting school this Fall 2026. My partner and I have a sweet labradoodle named Bliss and and a plump elderly cat named Elvira. We have rescued and cared for dogs and 4 plus cats together. I have a huge heart for elderly cats/dogs and those that are shy of personality. Let me know if your animal takes time to warm up! I am patient, compassionate and a natural caretaker at heart. Alternatively, I love the playful and outgoing ones too! I have experience in administering medications also, especially with Elderly or finicky cats as I have cared for many of my own. My schedule is open and flexible at this time. My lifestyle has allowed for me to maintain a pretty open schedule and take work as needed. I also work part time nannying positions, but this should not interfere with scheduling. I will be traveling to your location to care for your animals. Services include: cat sitting, dog sitting, drop ins, dog walking, house sitting and administering medications if needed. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

About: I have looked after both dogs and cats for multiple years of friends and family. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personalized care I give to each pet. I treat your pet like family, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, giving them extra cuddles, or understanding their unique quirks and needs. I have experience with a wide range of pets, including dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I'm comfortable administering medication and even handling leash reactivity for dogs. Clear communication, reliability, and genuine love for animals are at the core of everything I do. I currently work full-time but will be leaving soon to continue my education in a Masters program! I am available most Wednesdays and weekends as well as majority of evenings during the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are keeping their routine consistent, making them feel safe and loved, and respecting your space as if it were my own. I take the time to learn your pet’s habits, feeding schedule, walk routine if applicable, and favorite toys or activities. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or a long walk, I adjust to what your pet needs most. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Cleanliness, clear communication, and attention to detail are part of every visit.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - New Castle

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 8 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
