“Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!”
“Melida is simply the best. Tucker and Beckett absolutely love her. She is caring, gentle and loving with our dogs. This is our second time with her and will continue to use her if she’ll have us. 💜”
About: I am an experienced and dedicated pet sitter who genuinely loves caring for animals. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, always following each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of affection, treating every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend most of my time at home and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I am available for feeding, playtime, and regular potty breaks for dogs, as well as care and companionship for cats. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay with me. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my home where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules and special needs. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks and supervision, and for cats, I ensure a quiet and stress-free space. I always monitor pets closely and treat them with love, patience, and respect as if they were my own.
About: Raised with a pittie and boxer! Always had pets in the home from big to small. I work as a zookeeper at a private zoo/sanctuary with animals such as big cats, small wild cats, canids, birds of prey, and primates. I’ve had to raise some since they were babies, and have had to care for some at an old age I currently switched over to only volunteering at the zoo! I’m available anytime! My schooling is online so there would be no inconvenience! I try to be active during the day so your furry friend will definitely be a part of that My complex is fenced and dog friendly! I have a cat that does get along with dogs and other cats as well but if your furry friend doesn’t that’s okay! They can be in their own space if needed. I will follow your instructions to a T and if I need to reach out to you I certainly will, I will also send little update pics of what your fur babies and I are doing!
“Ruth was great! When we came home, everything had been done for Skiity. She made a point of communicating on a daily basis and letting us know that our cat was OK. I really appreciate Ruth’s dedication and responsibility.”
“I am so thankful for her! My babies were well fed and cared for while I was on vacation. And they had nice clean litter boxes. Loved my daily updates of who greeted her at the door and the funny pictures! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you SO MUCH. I'm planning a longer trip for May so I will be trying to book you then as well!!!”
“Laura watched our cats for nearly 2 weeks while we were out of town. I was able to relax and not stress thanks to Laura. The next time we go out of town we will be booking with Laura again.”
“Nathalia, as before, took excellent care of Mikey and Sylvie. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel comfortable that their pets will receive the care that you would give them, yourselves.”
“Donovan was great with our pets! We have a dog and three cats at home and he took care of all of them for the weekend. Our dog Odin was especially happy to see him each visit. Thank you Donovan!”
“Dayana saved me by accepting a very last minute booking. She was so understanding and really worked with me to make sure my two fur babies went outside to use the bathroom and got fed. 10/10 would definitely book with her again!!”
“Kathryn is a very reliable sitter who I can count on! My cat loves seeing her and was very well cared for during my time away. She and I hope to have Kathryn as a sitter again soon!”
About: I have been professionally pet and house sitting since I was 16, but have taken care of animals almost all my life. Some of the animals I’ve personally had the pleasure to own have been a turtle, fish, a hamster, cat, and dogs. Most of my experience is with dogs, ranging from 3 month puppies to 16 year old gray faced seniors that have special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and giving the necessary patience and attention to animals who need additional assistance. My schedule is flexible throughout the week and weekend, so your pets will get the best companionship, supervision, and care I can give. I will respond as soon as I can with any inquiries or concerns. I provide respectful, attentive care for both pets and homes. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or simply relaxing together, your pet will be supervised and well cared for. I also take pride in keeping homes clean, organized, and well maintained, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for and build strong relationships with a variety of cats and birds over the years. When friends or family have needed to travel, I’ve also cared for their dogs, typically for trips of up to two days. These experiences have helped me understand the different needs and personalities of each pet, while reinforcing the importance of patience, consistency, and providing attentive, reliable care. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention. I’ll follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.
“Awesome sitter!!! She really provided and ton of picture and messages about my dog while I was away. Very flexible and quick on response to messages. Would definitely recommend using her service’s.”
“Lourdes was a phenomenal caretaker and went above and beyond for our Laika. She’s meticulous on instructions, communicates well, provides several photos everyday and takes her time to walk Laika. I strongly recommend her! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I love dogs, every single time I see one in public I simply must ask the owner if I can pet it. I had a childhood dog since I was three and I took care of her throughout her senior years. I changed her diaper, took her on walks, helped to feed her when she couldn’t feed herself and I got really good at hiding pills in bread or cheese! I can’t wait to get to know you and your pet! I have a flexible schedule since I am currently in college so I can work around your schedule. I am available every day early mornings till 10 am, 3-6 pm, and 10:30 till pretty late in the night. I guess I would describe myself as a gentle parent when it comes to animals. I am very stern when it comes need to be but I will not yell at, push, or hit an animal ever. The worst I will ever do is repeated pets and kisses. I watched a lot of “Caesar Milan’s Dog Whisper” when I was a kid so I like to think I am good with dogs

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,557 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
