“Samantha took wonderful care of Dino! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dino came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She was kind, attentive, and made sure he was comfortable. I truly appreciate the love and care she gave him. I would definitely trust her with Dino again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Samantha! ❤️🐶”

About: Hi! I’m Angie, a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm up north surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes dogs, horses, pigs, chickens, rabbits, cows, and even deer! 🐴🐶🐰🐷 Caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up around so many different animals taught me patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve continued caring for dogs and other pets through house sitting and pet sitting for family, friends, and personal referrals. I recently decided to take that experience beyond my personal circle and join Rover! I’m 20 years old and work a flexible part-time schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with attention, playtime, walks, affection, and care. I’m comfortable with energetic pets, senior animals, pets who need medication, and animals with specific routines or special instructions. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets while you’re away, so I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. ❤️ For pets staying in my home, they’ll enjoy a loving, cage-free environment unless you prefer otherwise. I have a fenced backyard, live in a gated community, and have cameras for additional security. I also use an AirTag during walks for an extra layer of safety and will send consistent pictures and updates so you can see how your baby is doing throughout their stay! 🐾 I’m also fortunate to have a pet loving household. If I need to step away for work or an errand, my dad Jonathan and my boyfriend Alex are home and help make sure the pets in our care continue to have company, attention, and supervision. Drop-Off & Pick-Up 🐾 To make arrivals and departures as smooth as possible, I ask that drop-off and pick-up times are confirmed with me in advance. 🏡 Boarding: Drop-off and pick-up are available between 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM. ☀️ Doggy Day Care: Drop-off begins at 8:00 AM, with pick-up by 5:00 PM. I understand that travel plans and schedules can change, so I’m always happy to accommodate different times when possible just communicate with me ahead of time! 🤍 Please keep in mind that boarding stays extending significantly beyond a 24-hour period may include Rover’s extended care rate. For boarding, I do ask that pets staying in my home are up to date on their vaccinations for everyone’s safety. Please bring their food and let me know about any allergies, medications, special instructions, routines, or preferences beforehand so I can keep their stay as close to home as possible. Whether you need boarding, drop-in visits, or someone dependable to care for your pets while you travel, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m excited to meet you and your pets and hopefully become someone you can trust and count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work part time at a hair salon, and outside of work I love spending my time with my own pup! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine, from walks and playtime to plenty of cuddles and attention. When I’m at work, my dad Jonathan is usually home, and my boyfriend, Alex is also around often so there’s never a shortage of extra love and cuddles! 🤍 I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority! I live in a gated community with a fenced backyard and cameras for added security. Pets in my care get plenty of supervised outdoor time, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. I always follow each pet parent’s routine and instructions and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. 🐾🤍

About: I have taken care of almost every dog in my small town from Alaska! I am trusted by everyone in my town with any variety of pets. I take care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I owned two reptiles back in Alaska so I have experience. If you need a reliable person who is good with all animals, give me a shout! I am currently living a life of freedom and nature loving. I travel around the world in my camper van and take care of pets all across the way. I would be more than happy to stay with your pet while you were away as well if that would make both the owner and the pet more comfortable. I would be willing to stay at no extra charge. I am incredibly flexible with the care of any pet and I will follow the owners instructions as directed to make sure their pet friend does not have a disturbed routine. If your pup needs time to play outside, I would be happy to exercise them as needed. I can feed as many times a day as needed and can provide regular care.

My background as a veterinary technician has given me a deep understanding of animal health and behavior, ensuring each grooming session is both safe and stress-free.

In My Home: I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, grooming care, and any special instructions from their owners. Safety and comfort come first, ensuring every pet feels at home while staying with me. In a Client’s Home: I respect the familiar environment that helps pets feel secure.

About: Animal lover, pet-less at the moment, but with lots of animals in my life. I have plenty of love, patience, cuddles, and care to give to your furry family member, big or small. I know how important and stressful finding a reliable place or a trustworthy person is. For over 20 years now neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to take care of their beloved pets at their house or mine. I have a very welcoming home with couches to surf, plenty of laps to sit on, lots of treats(or not), walks and playtime. My backyard is enclosed and the community has lots of green areas, several parks, fun walks and a dog park just a car ride away. I don’t mind traveling. I have taken care of two potbelly pigs, two donkeys, a squirrel, and two cats up in Archer, FL. Five cats and an African Gray parrot in Orlando. Several cats and dogs at their homes and mine, and whenever I can, I escape to my friend’s farm to help with the care of their horses. My grand-dog, April, loves to visit and get spoiled! Give me the opportunity to show you how well and at home your baby will feel! I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I set up beds in the living room and in my office. I also do pottery, and I have my wheel in an enclosed patio with a rug right next to it for my special helpers! I do a walk in the morning and another one about an hour after breakfast followed by some playtime. Then I do bathroom breaks every two hours or as needed. After noon, I work on my pottery and do some gardening in my fenced backyard. Rest assured your pet will never be outside unsupervised. Late afternoon I take them for a longer walk, a bathroom break after dinner, and again before bed. I make sure your baby is active and well exercised, with plenty of time for play, rest, and cuddles! And of course, I will also follow any schedule or routine they may have. I have a pet friendly home with an enclosed patio and fenced backyard, but rest assured your pup will never be left outside unsupervised. Your pet is welcomed on our couches, our laps, and any part of the house they wish to be in. If I have to go out, and no one else is home, I will leave the TV on with relaxing music or pet friendly content playing. I don’t own a crate, but you’re welcome to bring one if your baby is used to staying or sleeping in one. They are welcome to sleep in any of our bedrooms. I usually don’t allow them on my bed but my daughter will be ever so happy to oblige! If I’m caring for your beloved at your home, I will follow any rules you have set up for them, even sleeping with them if necessary!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I have petsitted a few times in Nicaragua, but the service was never as popular. I currently have a ten year old cocker spaniel named Leia, who you can see in my picture. I’m a proud dog friend and an aspiring cat friend as I haven’t had much experience with cats. However, I love animals (as long as they are not insects). I am one to pay close attention to pet body language, and I will make sure to provide the most comfort and love to your furbaby 💕 I’m currently working part-time so I will be super happy to fit any pet care into my schedule. I’m very punctual will petsit for you on friday and weekends, when you usually want to go out and enjoy human time ✨ I’m happy to provide any tools and help you acquire items for your pet. If you need me to pet-shop too, I will! I also have a car of my own, so there is no end to dog parks we can visit. I will go and stay at your home as much as you need in order to care for your pet. Everybody at home adores pets.

I am comfortable grooming, brushing, bathing, administering medication, or tending to a dog on their old age . I believe that attention to detail and a warm heart are my greatest strengths.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved having Jayna stay in my home and take care of my senior dog Taylor! She was wonderful. He was getting towards the end of his life (18years) and it was a situation that she handled superbly with a loving heart and compassion for a dog she just met. Amazing. She sent photos everyday, spoon fed him, made him comfortable in all ways…and did everything I asked and more. What a wonderful human being. Couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver!!!! Thanks Jayna from the bottom of my heart. Taylor sends his love as well. ✨✨✨❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Princeton on Rover is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $40 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,356 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Princeton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Princeton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Princeton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 , 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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
