Personalized care for your dog or cat - New Castle
Highly-rated overnight sitters - New Castle
“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!”
“Rita was great! Our first time using Rover and we were nervous since our dog can be a bit needy. Rita would send pictures and updates which put us at ease. Otis looked to have a great time! We will definitely be using Rita again.”
“We had the opportunity to try a different way to give our dog a vacation while we were on vacation and Kelly did not disappoint. The care and attention for Ivy was top notch and will be using Kelly again without a doubt. Thank you again Kelly, and sorry for the late review..... Book her now, you won't have anything to worry about.”
“Candice took great care of our Lily. Of course we were a bit nervous going away for a week and leaving Lily with someone new. Candice welcomed us to her beautiful home with a wonderful smile and assured us that Lily would be fine. After receiving our first picture and report the next day (and everyday thereafter) we knew we had selected the right place for our fur baby and had no worries after that. Lily seemed to be right at home. We highly recommend Candice and her family and will definitely be using her again.”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with Nala! She took such great care of her, and Nala had the best time playing and getting lots of love. You can tell Amber really knows how to make dogs feel at home. We would definitely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.”
“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.”
“I have to say this with a warm heart that I absolutely agree with the other reviews. Latoya was professional, and kind. When BJ entered her home, I knew that I didn't have to worry about him. Latoya is amazing. I can't wait to book with her again.”
“Coleen was very accommodating and is a real dog person. I was satisfied that Dixie would be treated just like she is at home, and that was the case. Dixie enjoyed her stay, and we wouldn't hestitate to have her stay with Coleen again.”
“Nicole was amazing! She took our little olaf last minute, was sweet with him getting comfortable, & sent tons of photos/videos keeping me updated on how he was doing! Will definitely book with Nicole again”
“We decided to take a weekend trip for the holidays & decided to book with Olivia. We were extremely satisfied with Olivia’s care of Bolt! She was very communicative & shared photos of Bolt which our kiddos loved to see. Overall we had a great experience & will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“I’m grateful that Lindsey accepted Cecelia in her home as her own, and for the gentle care that she provided. From the pictures Lindsey sent me and the texts on the daily basis (even multiple times a day), I could tell that Cecelia was feeling very comfortable, happy, and content that all her needs were being met. I highly recommend Lindsey, and would definitely ask her for the care of Cecelia again.”
“Sherry was very communicative, accommodating for an energetic puppy, and went above & beyond with treats! Mila was treated like the princess she is. I appreciated the transparency and patience she provided. I would leave her with Mila again in a heartbeat (and will again soon!).”
“Just had our 2nd stay with Barbra and it was fantastic! She takes such great care of our dog and we will be using her anytime we can. I think our dog was very sad to leave with all the fun he had playing and roaming her huge yard. Highly recommend her services!!!”

About: I have had dogs in my home my entire life who have ranged from sedentary to pulling you down the street!

About: I’ve had animal training internships including one at UPenn. I worked with law enforcement and detection K9s ranging from puppies to professional dogs in their chosen field. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue since I was 7 years old. I worked with animals from all different backgrounds and disciplines ranging all the way from dogs to horses. I am currently working part-time so I can work around scheduling to be able to provide the best care possible for your animals at the most convenient times. I have education in animal husbandry, nutrition, and management. I follow instructions very carefully so however the owner prefers their animal to be cared for is how it will be treated.
“Jo was amazing with Little Bear! Communication was steady and on point! Little Bear opened up to him immediately and I see from all of the amazing videos and photos that Jo sent me on a daily basis with him and Little Bear that they hit it off really well!

About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.
About: Hi there! My name is Brianna, and I’ve worked as a kennel assistant, caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m skilled in nail trims, medication administration, and insulin injections, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience working with dogs, cats, and exotic animals — from reptiles to small mammals and birds — and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am working a full time job- but have plenty of time in the afternoons! Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I’m used to following feeding, walking, and medication schedules from my experience as a kennel assistant, so caring for animals fits naturally into my routine. I make time each day to check in on pets, go for walks, and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early-morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I always make sure animals stay on their normal schedule. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like extra work to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day When I care for pets, I focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I always follow their normal routines — from walks and feedings to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. In a client’s home, I treat your space and pets with the same care I give my own. I can also handle nail trims, medication, and insulin when needed, and I make sure every animal gets plenty of love and attention. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or exotic pets, I do my best to make sure they feel calm, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
“This was my first experience with Rover and Violeta set the bar very high. My cat has a lot of needs and Violeta did a great job meeting those needs and keeping me informed while I was away.”
“Rose was beyond phenomenal. Had a cat that needed medication for 3 days. He can be a little rascal but she was a pro. My cats loved her immediately. Very knowledgeable, professional, reliable and will definitely hire again.”
“We loved Michaela! She took the stress out of leaving our cat for the week. It was our first experience with Rover and we will absolutely be asking her to come back and hang with Kitty when we go away! She was wonderful with updates and making sure our cat and home were always in perfect shape. She is so caring and made sure our cat took her pill morning and night. Thank you for treating Kitty just like your own!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life in my personal and professional life. I worked for a small business in VA for about 5 years throughout high school and college and have started back up since I started my own Graphic Design business! I've cared for dogs (reptiles and other exotic pets as well) of many different breeds and personalities throughout the years and have always loved every minute! I run my own graphic design business and have a second job in the afternoon (2pm-7pm) but all other hours can be filled with playtime for your pet! I can drop by in the morning, midday, and night as early as 8am and as late as 10pm (unless specified as an overnight). If you are looking for an overnight service, please be aware that I will be away for your home for 3-4 hours at a time to fulfill other routine walks and my work. Visits will always have play time and enough walk time for sufficient exercise. I always make sure to give a lot of attention and make them comfortable even though you're away and will stick as close to your normal routine as I can! In the summer, I'm careful about temperatures especially if they walk in the street and take special care of cold climate breeds.
“Courtney is the best! She was available to walk my dog last minute and even stopped by for a meet and greet. Great communication. She took him to the park, which he loves. I felt like he was in good hands especially with her background as a vet tech. Thank you!”
“Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!”

About: I have never not had a dog in my home ! I have experience taking care of my own dog, as well as taking care of puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and everything in between. I have years of dogsitting experience, and they are just my absolute favorite thing in the world. I have recently graduated from college and am looking to petsit while adjusting back to being in Delaware! I have very open availability at this time. Because I live in a small living space with two of my own pets, I would prefer to care for your pets in your home! If this is not possible, that’s totally ok, I just want to make sure your pets have as much space to relax and play as possible.
“Today was my dog’s first solo walk with Shanisa and I couldn’t be happier! Shanisa and I worked extensively with my dog to get him comfortable with her because he is usually very wary of strangers. He warmed up to Shanisa quickly and was comfortable with her in our home just by themselves. I now have more freedom and less worry knowing my dog will be safe and cared for when I cannot be home.”
“Our meet and greet with Joseph went so well! He was very kind and respectful. I could tell he really absorbed the information we gave him on our dog. He was proactive in interacting with our dog, but could also read our dog’s cues and knew when to give him space. Overall, our dog took to him really well and we are looking forward to continuing to work with Joseph!”
About: I have hands-on experience with young puppies, large breeds, small dogs, and older pets that need extra attention. I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals to every walk and visit, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, ready to accommodate pet owner needs with daily walks or drop-in visits for their furry friends. I provide attentive care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their routines, ensuring they have fresh water and food, and offering playtime. I also prioritize their safety and comfort, keeping an eye out for any health concerns or signs of stress. Regular updates and communication with the pet owner help ensure peace of mind while they are away.
“This is my 2nd week with Katelyn Dog walking Easton. She’s very communicative she cares about Easton as if he’s her own. The first week I had to adjust Easton’s walk schedule quite a few times and Katelyn was very patient with me. Thank you Katelyn. Easton and I appreciate you 🫶🏽🫶🏽”
“Nathan & Meredith are amazing! From arranging meet & greet, communications through app, and the thoughtful notes after every walk, they are really caring to your pets. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
About: I’ve been enjoying helping my kids care for their dogs and cats creating a strong bond while having so much fun with their dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule to care for pets while providing a safe environment to stay in and keep to their schedule like their own parents with me. I have a fenced yard under my supervision and have fun playing with my own pets! Any suggestions that your pet needs will be appreciated in order to create a bond and trust while you are not there will be perfect to make your pet’s and your day!
About: I have had 3 dogs growing up so use to handling multiple at one time. Also my shih tzu that passed had severe skin allergies so I have experience with medical baths and diets. I work from home 3 days a week so home all day MWF, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in the office but only a 10 min drive away and can walk them during lunch and be back home with your doggo before dinner! I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park, personally have a well sized yard and back deck for lots of outdoor fun! Currently I own 2 guniea pigs but they’re quiet and kept on an elevated surface no dog has been bothered by them before. Lots of toys and 2 beds here to play with but encourage to bring your pet’s favorites here as well.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs which taught me from an early age the responsibility and care that goes into looking after pets. I have two dogs: Molly & Zeus! Two rescues whom I love so much and follow me around like little shadows! I also have a gray tabby cat named Gin! I love my little trio! A few years ago, I also worked for a local pet care company where I traveled to care for both dogs and cats. I have experience administering insulin injections and oral medications, as well as providing daily care such as walks, playtime, brushing, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks while owners are away, including bringing in mail and putting trash cans out. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I will care for your four-legged family exactly how I would want someone to care for mine! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have very open availability through May 31, 2026, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and daytime visits. After that, I will continue offering flexible availability with more evening availability during weekdays and open availability on weekends. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to work with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs! I will follow all instructions provided to ensure your pet’s routine is kept consistent and comfortable while you’re away. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their walks, playtime, and any medications as directed. Most importantly, I will give them plenty of love, attention, and patience, and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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.

“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!”
“We had the opportunity to try a different way to give our dog a vacation while we were on vacation and Kelly did not disappoint. The care and attention for Ivy was top notch and will be using Kelly again without a doubt. Thank you again Kelly, and sorry for the late review..... Book her now, you won't have anything to worry about.”
“Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.”

She was very communicative & shared photos of Bolt which our kiddos loved to see. Overall we had a great experience & will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“Andrea is awesome! Took such good care of our dog. Updated us everyday with videos and pictures. You could tell our dog was super happy and was treated like one of the family. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Diane was great & I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs. Cared for a senior dog with medication needs. Lots of walks! Kept us informed on how our dog was doing. A joy to talk to and was very friendly.”
“Jen was the ideal dog sitter! She put our minds at ease with a meet and greet and lots of pictures throughout his stay. We would without a doubt trust Jen to watch our pup again!!”
“Dex always has a wonderful time at Carrie and Jon’s house. They send updates regularly and go above and beyond to make sure Dex is comfortable in their home. They take him on regular walks and even gave him some enrichment puzzles to keep him active. Highly recommend!”
“Jill & Tommy were great! Milly had a great time playing with 5 new friends and we were kept updated with texts & pictures daily. Today she seems lonely with just me on a rainy Monday. Paul & Marybeth”
“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.”
“Our dog Sasha always has a great time staying with Nick and Katie. She loves playing with Lady and snuggling with them on the couch. She always comes home tired and happy. I know she is going hands when she stays there. ”
About: I have had 3 dogs growing up so use to handling multiple at one time. Also my shih tzu that passed had severe skin allergies so I have experience with medical baths and diets. I work from home 3 days a week so home all day MWF, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in the office but only a 10 min drive away and can walk them during lunch and be back home with your doggo before dinner! I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park, personally have a well sized yard and back deck for lots of outdoor fun! Currently I own 2 guniea pigs but they’re quiet and kept on an elevated surface no dog has been bothered by them before. Lots of toys and 2 beds here to play with but encourage to bring your pet’s favorites here as well.
