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.

Adriana was amazing. I found her at the last minute when the person I had to take care of my new rescued kitten bailed on me. Without hesitation, she was there to assist me and was very understanding about my nerves of leaving my 4 week kitten with a total stranger. She messaged me about my kitten and sent pictures so that I could be at ease. I unfortunately had to extend a day and without hesitation again, she was willing and able to do Rap for me. I could tell that she truly loved my kitten and took good care of her. At the return of my kitten I even got a surprise painting of her which I thought was super sweet. I would definitely recommend Adriana and when I need another sitter for my fur baby, I will definitely rebook with her. You can definitely tell that Adriana is a person that loves animals. Thank you Adriana fur being there and easing my nerves.

About: My first vote was when I was 10, and from that moment on I knew I would love her. My neighbors were always asking me to feed their furry friends and take them for walks. They would say, "There goes the girl and her dogs." I have now left my old job as a Medical Assistant because I have always dreamed of getting more involved with furry animals, I think I was born for them and I feel I have a deep connection with them. I have a large, spacious, fenced and secure yard. I also have three adorable dogs that will keep your furry friend company at all times.

About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my entire life and have a genuine love for all pets. While growing up in Peru, I rescued numerous abandoned dogs and cats, helping them recover by providing care, food, and lots of affection until they regained their health. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and paying close attention to the individual needs of each animal. Since moving to the United States, I have cared for two dogs and one cat, providing them with a life filled with love, comfort, and attention. My most recent dog had a disability and required daily medication, a special diet, and additional care. Through this experience, I learned the importance of maintaining routines, administering medications properly, and being attentive to any special needs a pet may have. I strive to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I am responsible, caring, and highly observant of their physical and emotional needs. My priority is to ensure that your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, ensuring that they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, and daily routines. I maintain a clean, safe, and calm environment, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they have fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection so they feel comfortable and happy.

About: I live, breath, and think of animals. My future career is a veterinarian and this will help me as I proceed in Veterinary Assisting. I've always had a dog in my life and I've grown up learning new ways to train my dogs and new ways to to keep them active. I have two pets of my own, the first is a Amstaff Terrier and the second is a Great Dane. I enjoy adding my pets into my exercise routine because I know this is the pets exercise time as well. I love to buy pet toys and present them as a gift to my own pet which makes them excited easy to play. Hopefully I can be that fun factor to your sweet and loving pet.

We had the best experience with Mendora! We were gone for 10 days on vacation and everyday our dogs were looked after and cared for without worry. She showed up on time every time to feed, let our dogs out, and spend time with them. She kept us updated with messages and pictures of our pups daily. One of our dogs was on an antibiotic while in Mendora’s care and she made sure our pup didn’t miss a single pill. Thank you for everything we really appreciate all you did for us and our pups. We will 100% recommend and use again!

About: Hi! My name is Alana, and while this is my first Rover profile, I’ve actually been pet sitting through my family’s Rover account for the past five years. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they love long walks, playing fetch, curling up for cuddles, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry baby, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I’m currently a university student in Miami, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. I receive my class schedule well in advance each semester, allowing me to plan my availability and fully commit to the pets in my care. Most of my classes are only a few times a week and aren’t all-day commitments, so I have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care. Outside of class, my schedule is very open, and I make it a priority to give every pet the time, attention, and love they deserve. If you have specific scheduling needs, I’m always happy to communicate and do my best to accommodate them! For the past five years, I’ve helped care for pets through my family’s Rover account, where we’ve always focused on providing a calm, safe, and personalized experience. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow every instruction exactly as provided from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any house rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and companionship. Whether we’re playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing together, I make sure they’re never left feeling ignored or lonely. My priority is always to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for until you return.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and my passion for their health and well-being has led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician, and I graduated from my high school’s veterinary program as a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA). Through four years of hands-on training, I’ve gained experience handling dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable recognizing signs that a pet may not be feeling well, following care instructions carefully, and providing patient, compassionate care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break before officially starting college! So I would like to use my spare time usefully. I have lots of spare time to cater to your needs Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care they need so I can provide consistent, individualized care. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog on a walk, or caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and loved.

Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Princeton on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,330 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.

Tip: 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 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 .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
