“Melida is a thoughtful, caring, and responsible cat sitter. She was always on time and followed all my instructions very well. She took great care of my two cats and she was always very quick to respond to my messages. I will definitely be using her services 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!”
About: We have 5 animals in the house, we’ve had them since they were puppies and all get along and friendly towards other people and animals. I work from home and take the pups out 5 times a day. Can take them out more if a pup has a weaker bladder. I usually take mine out at the same time but have enough time in the day to take your pup out individually. Everyone really lounges at home while I work or go out but my boy loves to play so we have best of both worlds and doggie beds all over the house if they’re tired or can play in the back yard.
“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!!”
“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!”
“Yesenia was great with Keiko! He’s very shy and timid and she managed to make him feel comfortable. She was also great with dealing with all of his medications and eye drops! I would highly recommend her to watch your furry friend!”
About: I’ve been in the pet industry for 4 years and have worked with the youngest smallest to the biggest energetic to the seniors who need extra care I know having your pet in their own home brings extra comfort to them and you I’m very flexible and I even help out with my family’s dogs on a daily basis and still dog sit for some prior clients I’ve had I ensure updates and notify in any strange or out of normal behavior and like to keep transparency I understand putting you pups care into someone else’s hands requires a deeper level of trust
“Nos gustó mucho el servicio , la comunicación y la disponibilidad en una época tan complicada , Laura siempre súper dispuesta y muy linda Seguro la volveremos a contactar para futuras ocasiones”
“Nathalia is the definition of a true professional and a animal lover. I have been using Rover for years and this has been by far the best experience. I highly recommend her to care for your furry family members.”
“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: Hey there! I’m Victoria, a Miami-based house sitter and animal lover. Most of my pet care experience comes from helping clients care for up to seven dogs at once - as you can imagine, I’m not a stranger to organized chaos. From walks and potty breaks to feeding and playtime, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet's a couch potato or super active, I’m happy to spend time with them individually or in groups. Cats, dogs, and bunnies are all welcome! I’m big on integrity and communication - just let me know what your communication preferences are. I'm happy to give daily updates or weekly check-ins. I'm available Monday-Sunday for short or extended visits, morning or evening. Outside of work you’ll usually find me writing poetry, hunting down the best mangoes, and spending an evening at the ballet. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your home and pets with respect, I’d love to chat. Looking forward to meeting you! I'm currently working from home part-time so I'd be able to snuggle your cats regularly, walk your dogs a few times a day, and complete overnight visits. I closely follow a pet owner's instructions on how to prepare food and care for their furry friend. Whether your pet needs a special mix of wet and dry food, a certain number of walks a day, regular brushing, or anything else, I'll be sure to follow your pet's needs closely.

“Marcela is the best. She came to my rescue when I was really in a pickle for two days worth of drop in visits. It was the first time I used her services and she accepted the job on short notice which was a life saver for me. She was very communicative off the bat and was able to work with me as far as the schedule. She sent updates and pics and I came home to calm and happy fur babies! I was very pleased, I will definitely use her services again.”

Melida did A LOT of drop-in visits (3×/day for a week) while I was away to take care of my needy dogs. She was punctual, responsive, respectful of property and the perfect sitter. I recieved detailed notes and pics of my dogs for each visit. I appreciate her and her services and will definitely book her again in the future.
We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and proactive throughout our entire vacation. She kept us updated every day with messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was always on time, made sure our dogs were well-fed, took them on great walks, and gave them so much love and attention. When we came home, our house smelled wonderful and was spotless, showing how much care she put into everything. It's clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring. We will definitely book with her again

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Princeton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 94% 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.
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.
