About: I have taken care of neighbor's cats since I was 12, providing meals, medicine and love. I have had my own dog for 9 years who I also care for. I volunteered at SAVE animal shelter for 3 years taking care of cats. I just graduated high school so I am free this entire summer before I leave for college in the beginning of September 2026. I work at the YMCA on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-7 but am free the rest of the week. I can easily take care of the pet in my clients home. I have experience doing so; cleaning litter boxes, taking care of the house, cleaning up messes, and more. I can water plants or provide any other house services while the owners are away.

Camryn was fantastic as a caretaker for my cats! She was very communicative and gave me peace of mind while I was away from home. I loved the pictures and visit notes she would leave, including her noting each time she gave my cats their medication. I’d absolutely recommend her for your pet care needs!

Xingcheng was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. She took wonderful care of my dog and made sure I was updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Xingcheng to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation.

About: I love furry friends! I’ve taken care of friends’ and relatives dogs and cats since college. I am happy to help you fulfill any of your pets’ needs! I am a teacher during the school year, so I bring patience, reliability, and enthusiasm to pet care. I’m a full time teacher during the school year, so in the summer I have plenty of availability on weekdays mornings, daytime, and evenings. I am also available for pet sitting or walking many weekends. I respect your home by closely following your pet care instructions including any special diet or behavior needs. I have also gone through no harm dog training with my dog, so I am fully at ease dealing with dogs that range from chill to anxious or reactive. As for cats, I am an introvert who is good at reading animal body language, so I will make sure to treat them with care while giving them their personal space.

Eliza was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad we found her. Our kitty is an older boy who is very skittish around new people. He warmed up to Eliza faster than he has with anyone before! She constantly played with him and brushed him while at our place, and I think he was sad when his playdates were over. Would absolutely recommend and book her again.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for years and have helped care for senior pets, as well as friends’ and family’s dogs and cats. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Dogs are my absolute favorite. I’m a college student at Rutgers and currently on a long break, so I’m around for most of it and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. At home, I care for my own 5-year-old Cockapoo who is shy, so I’m very attentive to each pet’s comfort level and needs. I keep a clean, safe space and can crate dogs if needed to make sure everyone feels secure.

About: I have always loved animals. Beginning in middle school, I would always volunteer at shelters because I saw the great need for help with so many dogs that had been abandoned or rescued from neglect. and I myself decided to adopt a few of them and give them the life meant for a prince or princess:) I am always vigilant to their wellbeing, I love playing with them, they give so much unconditional love. I love my dogs with all my heart. I currently work with an attorney as a paralegal in Princeton Junction, NJ. I get plenty of breaks during the day, and that’s when I take care of dogs! 🐕 🐕🐕 I can always work around your schedule and your needs. I can dog sit at night, and/or overnight boarding, Saturday and Sunday all day:) I am also available during the day to walk dogs and check up on them❤️ My parents have a big fenced in yard, which is great for my 2 dogs to play around. There’s also a big dog park not far for more playtime and there’s plenty of playgrounds too to take the doggies for a walk.

About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either. I'm currently a college student doing online classes so I have plenty of time to drop by a clients house or to have them come to mine. Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them

Patricia was such a great cat sitter! I’m so thankful for her services; she sent me so many pictures and videos that I appreciated during my time away. When I got back home, everything was tidy and the water bowls were full - I knew my cats were in great hands. She gave me such a great first experience with Rover and I look forward to working with her again.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and have been caring for pets of all kinds for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets — and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, patient with anxious or senior animals, and always communicate regularly with owners so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs every day since 2020, including my own 10-year-old Fox Terrier/Jack Russell mix (Finn) and my fiancé’s 9-year-old Jack Russell (Joep). With two energetic, small breeds at home, I’m very experienced in handling high-energy dogs, strong personalities, and daily routines like walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m 28 and work as an Assistant Store Manager at Giant, where I create my own schedule weekly—so I have a lot of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I’m reliable, structured, and used to responsibility, which carries over into how I care for pets. I’m especially comfortable with: • Small to medium dogs • High-energy breeds • Consistent routines and structure • Giving dogs attention, exercise, and patience I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, active, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible since I build it weekly as an Assistant Store Manager. I typically know my shifts in advance, which allows me to plan pet care around work. I’m available mornings, evenings, and often during the day depending on the week. On days off, I have full availability. I’m used to maintaining consistent routines with my own dogs, so I make sure walks, feeding, and attention always happen on time. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. At home, I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of anything pets could get into. I supervise interactions, stick to feeding and walking schedules, and pay attention to each dog’s behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. Communication is important to me, so I always keep owners updated and reachable.

About: As a dog owner myself, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal isn’t just to walk your pup—it’s to make sure they come home happy, safe, and mentally fulfilled As a dog owner myself, caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily routine. I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while their owners have peace of mind. I know how important it is to run on a strict schedule. As I own a dog myself, she too is provided with strict feeding and walking times that fit our schedule. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is treated with the same care and respect!

Catrina was a great dog walker/dog sitter for Bella. She provided ample updates with pictures and was very communicative. I completely trust her with Bella. Bella is also a big German Shepherd and she was able to walk her and feed her exactly as I would. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog.

I’m so happy Anne was available last minute to walk my Beatrice. Even though she hasn’t seen her for a while, I knew that I had nothing to worry about and she would be so excited to Anne take care of her! I know it was really hot out, but Anne still took her on a really nice walk which I really appreciated (I have a feeling she had to really convince Bea to go on a longer walk😅). I got the cutest pictures and you can tell how happy she was!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Plainsboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Plainsboro on Rover is $25 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 4,938 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plainsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Plainsboro stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Plainsboro 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!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Plainsboro with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainsboro. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
