“Serenity took excellent care of our baby Buster. Her communication with us was great before and after her stay. I would recommend her for any of your pet or house sitting needs.”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with our boy! He really looked forward to her coming over and we can't wait to have her watch him again! She spent a lot of time with him making sure he was good and having fun.”
“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”
“Ronnie was fantastic! I was a bit nervous about leaving my dog for the first time, as she’s a chow and doesn’t do well with strangers in the home. She gets nervous and protective. Ronnie handled it like a pro! They stayed calm, gave my dog what she needed, made her feel comfortable/followed her lead, provided me with daily updates, and looked over the house too. I would absolutely recommend trusting Ronnie with your pets and I plan to work with them again in the future. Thank you Ronnie!!!!”
About: I have taken care of different dogs through the day and overnight. I enjoy meeting new dogs and learning their personalities. I also have two dogs of my own that I love to take on walks, play outside, and go on little trips with!! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, daytime care, and overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have two friendly dogs and I make sure all pets in my care have plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and a safe environment. I am happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and crate training if needed. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.
“We had the absolute best experience with Kaylee as our dog and cat sitter! She took such amazing care of our pets and made being away from home completely stress-free. She sent us tons of pictures and regular updates, which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. It was clear from every update that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. On top of being wonderful with our pets, Kaylee was incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to the house cleaner and neater than we left it, which was such a pleasant surprise! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% book Kaylee again in a heartbeat! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and responsible to watch their pets and home”
“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”
“Jeannine took wonderful care of our sweet Winnie while we were gone. I was very nervous to leave her, but Jeannine reassured me by sending frequent updates and lots of pictures so I knew just how she was doing. Jeannine was very quick to reply to my messages and kept me updated throughout our absence. We will definitely use Jeannine again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Vance did an amazing job dog and house sitting for us. He exceeded our expectations for sure! He took such great care of Bodza (our dog). He walked him, trained him, played with him and kept him on his schedule. He sent us frequent updates and pictures. On top of everything, the house was spotless when we got home. I highly recommend him!”
“There would need to be 10 stars to rate Melli high enough for what she provides! We had a unique situation, and she helped us with groceries, errands, and caring for our sweet girl. She was an extension of our family!”
“Geoff was fantastic with our dog while we were away on a two-week international vacation. Before our trip, he took the time to come to our home for a meet-and-greet, asked thoughtful questions, and made it clear that he wanted to keep her routine as normal and comfortable as possible. He arrived prepared and early on the day we left, which made our departure completely stress-free. We love receiving updates, and Geoff went above and beyond by sending multiple photos each day, along with detailed and entertaining updates about the great time they were having. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. Geoff also took excellent care of our home and left everything clean and exactly as he found it. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Geoff to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, caring, and groovy sitter!”
About: I have extensive experience with animals of all sorts. I grew up with English mastiff dogs, then became a husky lover later on in life. I've owned sheep, goats, cows, horses, chickens, dogs, cats and much more. I grew up on a mini farm and we always had different animals who were raised with lots of love and care. I'm looking to replace one of my part time jobs with taking care of your awesome pets! I will only accept clients if I have the time to give your pets the best care. I am great at following your most detailed instructions for your home. At this time I cannot care for pets in my home because I am not set up for that but will be in the future.
“Cassidy was awesome. Great communication, punctual, and super friendly. She loved on Rocco from the start of meeting him which he so enjoyed. She was respectful of our kitties and sent picture update during the session, much appreciated. We would definitely recommend her.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m a college student with classes during the day and am typically available after 6 PM on weekdays. I’m always off on Fridays and most Saturdays and Sundays, giving me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. A couple of times a month I do have a brief evening lab, but I always communicate in advance to ensure your pet’s routine is never disrupted. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible. I respect clients’ homes, follow all instructions carefully, and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Castle Northwest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Castle Northwest on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 281 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Castle Northwest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred New Castle Northwest walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Castle Northwest maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in New Castle Northwest choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
