About: I am an experienced and dedicated pet sitter who genuinely loves caring for animals. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, always following each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of affection, treating every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend most of my time at home and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I am available for feeding, playtime, and regular potty breaks for dogs, as well as care and companionship for cats. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay with me. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my home where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules and special needs. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks and supervision, and for cats, I ensure a quiet and stress-free space. I always monitor pets closely and treat them with love, patience, and respect as if they were my own.
“We’re so grateful for Melida! She showed our pups so much love and attention, really spent quality time with them. You can tell she truly cares—she played with them and made them feel happy and safe. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“We decided to go on a very last-minute trip, and Serena was so flexible and accommodating. Serena is so sweet, and Mia got along with her right away, although Mia can come off as a little rough at first. I am so happy with our experience overall 🩷 a million out of 10 🥰”
About: I’m not JUST a dog lover, I’m experienced, attentive, and genuinely passionate person about caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities!

I’m there to keep your dog happy in the place they feel most at ease, home sweet home.
“Nathalia is the only sitter we trust with our pups, she goes above and beyond with them every time. She even sends the cutest pictures of my babies, they’re always smiling!”

About: Raised with a pittie and boxer! Always had pets in the home from big to small. I work as a zookeeper at a private zoo/sanctuary with animals such as big cats, small wild cats, canids, birds of prey, and primates. I’ve had to raise some since they were babies, and have had to care for some at an old age I currently switched over to only volunteering at the zoo! I’m available anytime! My schooling is online so there would be no inconvenience! I try to be active during the day so your furry friend will definitely be a part of that My complex is fenced and dog friendly! I have a cat that does get along with dogs and other cats as well but if your furry friend doesn’t that’s okay! They can be in their own space if needed. I will follow your instructions to a T and if I need to reach out to you I certainly will, I will also send little update pics of what your fur babies and I are doing!

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

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.

- 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.
