“Outstanding Pet Care! I had an amazing experience with my pet sitter! She came to my home every day to take care of my ferrets, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of attention and compassion she showed. Not only did she handle their daily care perfectly, but she also made sure my ferret got her medication on time and with so much patience. It’s clear she truly loves animals—my ferrets warmed up to her quickly, and I could tell they were comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She kept me updated, sent photos, and gave me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and knowledgeable, I highly recommend her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“Serena was absolutely amazing while taking care of our ducks this weekend! She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated, made us feel completely comfortable leaving our babies in her care, and truly went above and beyond. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and our ducks were so well taken care of. We are so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring! 🦆🤍”
About: I’m a pet groomer and sitter of 5+ years. I have experience caring for senior and younger animals as well as hedgehogs, ferrets, and Lizards. Your fur baby will always be accompanied by me and my family! They are able to roam around the house and the fenced back yard always being supervised. I have an 8 foot high fenced backyard with a small doggy door. Pets are welcome on the furniture or one of the many pet beds and will be provided fresh water and be fed separately. I have all my grooming supplies at home if you’d like have your fur baby groomed during their stay and I have experience grooming both dogs and cats 🐶🐱
“Jovanni sent me pics of my babies every time she visited them. She told me about the “talks” she had with each and how the walks went. I was very at ease being away knowing they were being loved on and cared for as if they were her own. ❤️”
“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!”
“Cameron did an amazing job taking care of our dog and new puppy while we were gone for a long weekend! She did drop-in visits and provided walks for our older dog, as well as spending quality time playing with our puppy. She was very gracious and professional in dealing with accidents and followed all of our instructions perfectly. The pups seemed well taken care of. She provided lots of cute photos each visit and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend Cameron and would love to book again next time!”
“I had Oscar do a last minute drop in for my pups, and he was fantastic! He followed all instructions perfectly, was right on time, and kept me updated with great communication and lots of pictures (which I really appreciated!). My dogs are super happy, and I will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Laura cuidó de mi perrita de una manera excepcional. Desde el primer momento demostró mucho amor, paciencia y dedicación. Se aseguró de que estuviera bien alimentada, cómoda y atendida en todo momento, tratándola como si fuera su propia mascota. Me dio mucha tranquilidad saber que estaba en tan buenas manos. Se nota que ama a los animales y que realmente se preocupa por su bienestar. Estoy muy agradecida por todo el cariño y la atención que le brindó. Sin duda la recomiendo al 100% y volvería a confiarle el cuidado de mi perrita. 🐾💕 Muchas gracias, Laura, por cuidar tan bien de mi bebé peluda.”
“Amanda was amazing and took her time with our kitties, especially my shy boy that takes awhile to warm up to new people. She was able to get him comfortable with her and administer his twice daily insulin that he needs. She also was very attentive about checking litter boxes, water, and cleaning up any little messes. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of our kitties!”
“Absolutely fantastic- cannot rave about her enough. Completely trustworthy and went the extra mile to take care of our fur babies and also give us peace of mind! Best experience we have had with Rover and a sitter. Highly recommend!!!”
“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.”
“Michelle was amazing with our usually very shy and reserved cats. She was a new sitter to me as my old, much cherished sitter is no longer available. I had literally just moved, my home still mostly in boxes, and had to take a business trip out of town. I did what I could to ensure my cats were situated with all of their comfort items and all of their spaces within the home unpacked and secure before leaving. Michelle came into that situation/chaos and took charge. She was even able to pet one kitty by the end and capture a few photos of my most timid. That says ALOT because frequently, this kitty hides so effectively with sitters they cannot even provide a "proof of life" photo of her. I came home to clean litter boxes and happy, stress free cats. If you need a cat sitter, Michelle is the one. I will definitely be using her again.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I currently have a playful 1-year-old Schnauzer at home. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with special diets and can follow basic medical instructions with care. I always take the time to connect with each dog based on their unique personality. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have all the time in the world to care for and play with your pet! I’m available 7 days a week and would love to spend quality time with your furry friend. I also have a fenced yard and my sweet Schnauzer can keep your pup company—if you’re comfortable with that. Your pet’s safety is my top priority

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,595 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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
