“Cassie was awesome! I was very nervous about leaving my two little dogs with anyone, and I’m so happy I took the chance with Rover and chose Cassie. She took great care of them, sent me updates and pictures, and kept in contact with me. I will absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur baby!”

“Allison is an awesome pup sitter! Very professional, and has such a love for dogs. Her dog Mingo is very friendly as well. Clean area for the dogs to stay, along with an extra crate and food bowls, which was very convenient. I felt safe and content with leaving my baby with her and the puppy pictures during the stay were a plus too! Highly recommend”

“We had a great experience with Lorraine. We adopted our pup from the shelter about a month before a trip and she did so good with his timid demeanor. Her dogs were friendly towards him and she had plenty of bones and enrichment space for him to explore. While away, she was quick to respond to my check ins and always provided pics to ease my anxiety. We appreciate you fitting us in quickly and taking care of our new family member!”

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.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 250 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

93% 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.

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.
