“Catrina was absolutely wonderful with Remy and Rosie! From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, and attentive to both of their different personalities. Rosie can be a little shy at first and gets very excited for walks, while Remy is a big sweetheart who loves attention, and Catrina handled them both so well. She followed all of our care instructions, made sure they were well taken care of, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated all the updates and adorable photos she sent—they truly made our day and reassured us that our pups were happy and comfortable. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Catrina to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Remy and Rosie! ❤️🐾”
“I cannot say enough good things about Martha. It is such a huge relief to know that she's taking care of Frodo when I'm gone because Frodo is so well-looked after. The amount that she cares about Frodo comes through so clearly in every update she gives and every interaction she has. Martha is truly exceptional.”
“I am so grateful I found Kelly on Rover! She was available on Thanksgiving and I was so lucky to book her when I did. She contacted me right away to set up a time to meet me and my pup and I knew immediately she'd be great. She was super communicative, so easy going and just so sweet! We will 100% use Kelly for dog walking in the future!”
About: I'm a very caring animal lover and have been house and dog sitting for years. I've had my dog since she was a puppy so I have the experience to care for dogs of all ages. My dog is extremely active so I dont have any problem keeping up with pets of any activity level. I've been to training with my dog and am able to use the skills I've learned with my dog to any pet. I've dog sat for multiple dogs at once with different health issues and dietary restrictions. I'm very meticulous when it comes to your pet's health including medication regimens and special dietary needs. I treat all animals as if they were my own. My main goal while caring for your pet is to keep your pet safe, happy and healthy. I work Mon-Fri 9-5pm so I only pet sit on the weekends to ensure your furry baby gets all the walks, playtime and attention they deserve. My goal is to provide your pet with the same enviroment they would recieve at home. We are away from main roads and have access to a fenced dog park.
“Abigail was patient with my stubborn and mischievous collie, who is 60 lbs and not the easiest to manage. My collie was relaxed and content after her visits. I also left a long list of instructions, which were followed to the letter. That shows good and trustworthy work. Thank you, Abigail!”
“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!”
“Nina took great care of Lyra, who felt super comfortable with her right away. Nina took great photos every visit and was so communicative and caring, I will definitely be booking again!!”
“Kassidy did a great job taking care of my two cats. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after while I was away on a ten day trip. I will be booking her again!”
“Vee did an excellent job taking care of my two cats while I was away for ~4 days. She left detailed check-ins with photos that really put me at ease. I came home to two happy cats that had clearly been well taken care of and loved.”
“Sha was a really great pet sitter for Kulfi. It was easy to communicate with her even during the midst of the holidays which are a very busy time, and everything went really smoothly. Thank you so much!”
About: Growing up with dogs, I've always been comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I'm active, reliable, and enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog is different, so will work with you to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm committed to being dependable, communicative, and attentive, giving owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me four full days off with plenty of flexibility to care for pets. On my days off, I have the time and energy to provide attentive care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their safety, ensure they have plenty of exercise, fresh water, and affection, and make sure they are always secure during walks and outdoor activities. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide frequent updates and photos throughout my visits. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing - I love sharing pictures and keeping owners informed so they can feel confident their dog is happy, safe, and having a great time.
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.
“Eliza was great at caring for our cat, two parakeet birds, one betta fish, and two snails for three weeks! Thank you so much, Eliza, and see you next time when we are out of town!”
“Scott was a great sitter while we were away for a couple of weeks. Professional, easy to work with, and bonded well with our cats. Will definitely reach out again next time we're away. Thanks Scott!”
“Heather did a great job looking after our pets while we are away for almost a month. We came home to a happy and well cared pets. She did amazing updating us on her every visit that includes photos and videos of our dog and cats. We were at peace knowing that our pets were in good hands. She’s very calm, gentle, and professional. Can’t recommend her enough! We will definitely book her again next time we need someone to check on our fur babies.”
“Katrina was wonderful with my cat when I was out of town for over a week. During that time the a/c went and she alerted me and stayed while the repairman fixed it. I will definitely be having Katrina take care of my cat in the future.”
“I feel so secure in my travels when I know Boryanna is with my Oreo. Oreo loves when she comes to feed her and play with her and I get great pictures throughout the visits! If you choose Boryanna you will never be disappointed!”
About: I've been caring for the pets of my family and friends for years, and I'm ready to give them a lot of love and care as they need it. Besides dogs, I'm also experienced in caring for cats, small animals, and chickens. I'm currently on summer break having just graduated from high school, so I have almost unlimited time to take care of your pets and a lot of flexibility. I'm active and can give your pet some lively exercise and play if needed, but I also have experience with older dogs and skittish dogs who need a gentler touch.
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very first moment, it was clear that Ella truly understands cats—not just their routines, but their emotions, boundaries, and quiet language. My cats felt safe and genuinely cared for, which says everything. Ella has what I can only describe as soul cat energy: patient, intuitive, and deeply kind. She went above and beyond, not just making sure everything was done, but making sure my cats felt loved. Ella is a true star and a rare find.”

Keiko (Scott's partner in this petsitting venture) was so wonderful with Flora! I could see Flora loved being visited 2X per day over a long weekend of family events! I felt confident that Flora was in good hands when I viewed photos of Flora from each visit & also received a detailed report each visit!! Thank you so very much Keiko!!
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.
This is the second time I have booked Jill and I will definitely be reaching out to her for my future pet sitting needs. Jill is extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and all around a great person to work with. She was patient and won the trust of my very shy adult cat and kept me well informed with updates and pictures while I was out of town.
Martha was fabulous. Bodhi and Bandit loved her. She was very generous with her time and played with them a great deal. Great pictures and commentary about their day. She kept the house extremely clean. We felt very comfortable while away that our cats were well loved!
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!
Abigail completed another great visit with photos of how happy and comfortable my dog was with her. She also went above and beyond with being handy in fixing the gate latch, which recently broke. This shows how caring and attentive Abigail is, and I highly recommend her to other pet owners!
It was a pleasure to have Nicholas take care of our dog, Axle. During our leave, he visited Axle at home, played with him and walked him daily. Nicholas is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch Axle again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Plainsboro on Rover is $25 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,187 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainsboro. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
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.
