“Cassie was a fantastic dog sitter. She’s friendly, attentive, and her backyard is perfect for the dogs to play. My dogs were well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“I had to go out of town for the weekend and thought my only option was to board my dog at the vet until I found Rover. Heather did great with my dog and I know that Lucy got cared for properly and not just left alone. I will definitely use Heather again in the future.”
“My dog had a blast with Kristy. If you want your dog to be tired out, she is the one to book. Very flexible and communicative. She sent many pictures of my dog while I was away. Will definitely book her again!”
“Haley and her Family are outstanding providers. My little guy obviously got all the love and attention as if he were with me. (No doubt MORE so than he is accustomed to) :D My buddy felt right at home the moment he walked in. Making me feel comfortable with leaving him with Haley and her Family. I am appreciative and thankful to have found Haley on such short notice. Dude misses you all and thank you again for taking care of my Buddy.”
“The best sitter! Our old lady Sissy has stayed with Emily's family several times. She always comes home happy. I can tell she is well cared for as she is not anxious when she is picked up. I highly recommend Emily!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jenni! She gave our Cooper lots of time outside and cared for him so well. He came back well loved and ready for a nap! Highly recommend her!”
“Allison was great with Ruby. She sent frequent picture updates during the stay, which really helped give me peace of mind, and her communication was extremely fast and responsive throughout the entire process. Ruby seemed very well cared for and happy. I would definitely recommend Allison to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“Kia was so accommodating with my last minute booking. My Remi and her Ozzy have become the best of buds lol. Glad I was able to find her. Will definitely be booking with her again for my boarding needs.”
“Oh my goodness Dasha is a life saver. She kept our baby girl while we had to travel and did such a good job at communicating with us. we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that she was in good hands. Pictures came daily which put us at peace and made us smile.”
“This was our 1st booking with this precious family. They were amazing and cared for our “Ollie” as their own. I received updates with pictures everyday. He loved playing with their sweet dog George and quickly made himself at home. He especially loved snuggles with the children who were so sweet with him. I wish I could leave more than a 5 star review. We can now plan more trips with comfort knowing Ollie will be loved and cared for while we are away.”
“Rachel always takes great care of Ari and I love the photo updates! Ari seems so comfortable there, and it's always comforting to know my pup is in great hands. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Keith is awesome, my pup loves going to his Spa and spending the weekend there. She comes home nice and clean and she is always a happy camper. I can’t say enough good things about him but I appreciate him and he’s a great communicator with plenty of pictures and videos during the stay!”
About: With 18 years of experience caring for animals, I understand that pets are more than just animals. They’re family! I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to provide your pets with the same love, patience, and attention they receive at home. As a registered nurse, I am naturally attentive, dependable, and detail oriented. I understand the importance of following routines, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing a safe, comfortable environment. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I understand how important consistency, attention, and companionship are for pets, and I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love throughout the day. Working from home also allows me to offer flexible scheduling for pet care services. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I strive to accommodate their individual needs and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a registered nurse, I am attentive to details, comfortable following specific care instructions, and accustomed to recognizing changes that may require attention. I approach every pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make every effort to maintain their established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided. I also respect your home and make sure your pet’s environment remains clean, comfortable, and secure. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving attention!
“Trojan had a great time at Stephanie's house while we were on vacation for a week. She was great about sending us lots of pics and videos of Trojan and the other puppies enjoying the yard and playing. Stephanie and her daughters are a great family and I'm so glad we were able to leave our baby in such loving arms.”
“Such a great experience with Fortune and her family caring for our dog. They almost spoiled him with the care and attention they provided. Could not ask for better a better stay and can highly recommend Fortune to all.”
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you can use: Hanna took amazing care of my dog while I was away! She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pup was loved, well cared for, and happy the entire stay. Communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Hanna”
“Sharon and her family were amazing sitter's to our pup Clara. Our former sitter had canceled on us 2 weeks before our planned holiday trip and we were in a bind. Sharon and her family were so accommodating and welcomed Clara into their home for 2 weeks during the holiday season. They sent updates and pictures of her having fun with all the other dogs. They even gave her a nice bath before we picked her back up. She came home to us happy and tired (LOL). We would highly recommend Sharon and would love to use her services in the future.”
“This was the first time I have used Victoria’s service. When I was dropping off my Bassets with her, I immediately sensed the friendliness presence with her and her family. The dogs were comfortable and happy. She sent me pictures yesterday. Was very friendly today. I will be booking with her again.”

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Princeton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Princeton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Princeton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Princeton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
