“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!”

“She was an absolute lifesaver during my unexpected hospital stay. She took amazing care of Boomer and Nova, making sure they were well-fed, had fresh water, and got the chance to use the restroom. She also spent quality time with them so they wouldn’t feel alone while I was away. Her care and attention gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time. I’m so grateful for her help!”

“Kiara was kind and responsive. She took extra trouble with our cat and really seemed to enjoy the time she spent with him. Our cat seemed happy when we returned and may have even grown attached to her. I trust Kiara in our home and we were very grateful to find her. She went the extra mile to provide a good service, even leaving a very thoughtful gift. We have a wonderful picture and momento to remember her stay. Thank you Kiara!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my 6 year old matlipoo and just recently brought home a cocker spaniel puppy as well as two stray cats, I care for them very much Im currently working from 1-5pm monday through friday but i can always make them in the morning or later at 6pm. On weekends I am mostly free all day unless I have to get called in for work. I live in an apartment and have one puppy that is being crate trained but is very playful, so if you need to crate train your dog I can provide that service as well as any other activity your pet needs.

About: As a proud dog mom to a Yorkie and someone who has actively cared for dogs for over two years, I truly treat every pup like my own. I’ve also fostered several dogs a deeply rewarding experience that taught me how to make any dog feel safe, loved, and right at home. To me, dogs are just like babies: they need genuine affection, structured care, and plenty of attention. When your dog is with me, you can rest easy knowing they’re getting the exact same love and devotion I give my own fur baby. I ensure timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Plus, I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely run around, play, and feel right at home. I take feeding and potty routines seriously, and if your pup is crate-trained or follows a specific schedule, I can seamlessly match it. Just let me know your dog's daily routine, and I’ll make sure they feel completely comfortable and loved while you’re away

About: About Me With 16 years of experience as a professional dog groomer, I specialize in delivering high-quality grooming services that combine skill, care, and attention to detail. 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 addition to my pet care expertise, I bring years of babysitting experience, highlighting my commitment to providing compassionate, reliable care for both pets and families. Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule – it’s built into my lifestyle. With 16 years in grooming, a background in veterinary care, and years of babysitting experience, I’ve learned to balance time while keeping quality at the center of everything I do. I prioritize organization, clear communication, and flexible scheduling to ensure every pet (and family) receives the attention they deserve, without compromise. 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. I follow the same level of care—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and grooming—while keeping their routine consistent. I also maintain the home’s cleanliness and security to give owners peace of mind.

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

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little and have experience with the everyday responsibilities that come with looking after pets. I’ve also attended obedience classes, which gave me some familiarity with basic training concepts and positive reinforcement. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m happy to reinforce familiar commands and routines. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and companionship while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet with patience and care and provide updates and photos while you’re away! I’m currently enrolled in college but I have a very flexible schedule otherwise. My schooling is for the most part only for the time being, so I have ample time for pet care. Your pets are your family and I treat them exactly like that, family. Every pet has a unique personality and I care for pets in the manner most appropriate for their needs. I have had pets my whole life so I am more than excited to care for your pets in your home. 😁

About: I truly love animals and take pet care seriously. I have some experience taking care of my own dog at home, as well as helping care for dogs owned by friends and family. I am patient, responsible, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently working part-time, so I am able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I always follow the owner’s instructions and provide care in a safe, clean, and calm environment. I currently live in an on-campus apartment, where I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I respect routines and communicate clearly with owners to ensure pets are safe and well cared for.

About: I am a HUGE dog lover and, truly, an animal lover in general! Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and ferrets, have had a dog and two cats of my own as an adult, and have helped care for other people’s pets. I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I’m always happy to accept kisses and snuggles, play, talk to them, and spoil them with affection. I’m just as comfortable with affectionate “Velcro” pets who want to be by my side as I am with independent ones who prefer their own space. I also understand that some animals need extra patience and time to warm up to new people, and I’m comfortable with shy, skittish, and reactive pets. I believe in respecting each animal’s personality, boundaries, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime, lounging and cuddling, or simply needs a calm, patient presence, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m also glad to accommodate requests such as dog park visits when appropriate and agreed upon. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving, attentive, and responsible hands. Your pets aren’t just animals to me; they’re family, and I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I’d want someone to give my own.

About: Hi, I’m Mari! Animals have been part of my family my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve had three Dalmatians, a Dachshund–Chihuahua mix, and a Pomeranian, so I know how different every dog’s personality can be! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Eve, my sweet Dalmatian. 🤎 I have volunteer experience with the Humane Society of Greater Miami and have rescued both cats and dogs. I’ve also boarded dogs in my home and provided house sitting in their own homes. These experiences have taught me to be patient, pay attention to each pet’s needs, and give them time to feel comfortable with me. Now, I’m building my own pet sitting business, Mari and Eve Pet Care, around something I truly love. Whether your pet enjoys playing, going on walks, or simply having someone nearby, I want them to feel loved and cared for while you’re away. As a pet parent myself, I know how much it means to find someone you feel comfortable trusting with your baby! 💕 During their stay or visit: I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, favorite activities, and little quirks. Care can include walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and quiet time, depending on their needs and the service booked. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can see how your baby is doing! 📸🐾 For house sitting, I’ll follow your care instructions and respect your home while keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar surroundings. What I’d love to know about your pet: Tell me a little about your baby! What do they love, what makes them nervous, and what helps them feel comfortable? Please share their feeding and potty schedule, sleeping habits, allergies, medical needs, and any behaviors I should know about. For care in my home, I’d also like to know how they feel around other dogs, since I have Eve. Let me know if this is their first time staying with a sitter so we can talk through what would help them settle in. For boarding, please bring their usual food and any familiar items, like a favorite toy, bed, or blanket. I’d love to arrange a meet and greet so we can get to know each other before their stay! 💕 Open availability Mon-Sun. I will walk, feed, play and bathe your pet as needed. And love them and take care of them like I do with my dog, Eve. ☺️ I will make sure with the owners to meet their pets’ dietary needs and buy them the necessary food to meet those needs. If they are a dog, I will walk them according to their walking needs. I will also have new toys for them to play with. If they are a cat, I will have carpet pieces for them to climb and toys as well. If the pet needs a bath or to be taken to a vet/training/playdate appointment I can do that as well. ☺️

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two that are in my fenced backyard. I have done basic training on them and cared for puppies that my dog had so I have experience with all ages even months old puppies. I love dogs so much and while I was in my college apartment, I would dogsit with my roommate. I’m currently studying for the LSAT, so I am not working and wanted some extra money. I an available every day but I may be a bit busier on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs, but I do not have to take your dog outside with them if you do not feel comfortable. I can walk them in the front yard and around the block. I live in a very safe neighborhood and everyone in my family has experience with dogs.

She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Princeton is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 3,696 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 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. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
