“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!”
“Laura watched our cats for nearly 2 weeks while we were out of town. I was able to relax and not stress thanks to Laura. The next time we go out of town we will be booking with Laura again.”
“Nathalia, as before, took excellent care of Mikey and Sylvie. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel comfortable that their pets will receive the care that you would give them, yourselves.”
“Kathryn is a very reliable sitter who I can count on! My cat loves seeing her and was very well cared for during my time away. She and I hope to have Kathryn as a sitter again soon!”
“Val did great with our kittens! We very much appreciated getting daily updates and pictures and they were happy and healthy when we got home. Excellent service and we highly recommend.”
“April did an amazing job watching our dog while we were gone for a week. She kept us updated and informed with any concerns she had! We would definitely recommend her to others and use her again. Thank you April !”
“Ruth is super responsive and very friendly with your babies! I had a last minute drop in I only had two hours to find someone and she was very fast at responding and helped me out in a pinch. Our original schedule was for 6 visits and she squeezed in the 7th for us last minute! Life saver!”
“Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. 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. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.”
“Michelle was amazing with our usually very shy and reserved cats. She was a new sitter to me as my old, much cherished sitter is no longer available. I had literally just moved, my home still mostly in boxes, and had to take a business trip out of town. I did what I could to ensure my cats were situated with all of their comfort items and all of their spaces within the home unpacked and secure before leaving. Michelle came into that situation/chaos and took charge. She was even able to pet one kitty by the end and capture a few photos of my most timid. That says ALOT because frequently, this kitty hides so effectively with sitters they cannot even provide a "proof of life" photo of her. I came home to clean litter boxes and happy, stress free cats. If you need a cat sitter, Michelle is the one. I will definitely be using her again.”

Loved my daily updates of who greeted her at the door and the funny pictures! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you SO MUCH. I'm planning a longer trip for May so I will be trying to book you then as well!!!”
“We are delighted with Jacob! He is friendly, sends texts with updates and sent pictures of my dog looking very happy! We will request his service from now on and highly recommend him!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats while coworkers, friends, and family are on vacation. I handle feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and medication if needed. I understand how important routines are for pets, so I make sure to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading animal behavior, whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet that needs extra care. I send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! Whether I’m boarding, doing drop-ins, or taking your dog on a walk, I follow all instructions closely and stick to their routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m always attentive to doors, gates, and windows are secure to prevent any accidents or escapes.
“Jovanni sent me pics of my babies every time she visited them. She told me about the “talks” she had with each and how the walks went. I was very at ease being away knowing they were being loved on and cared for as if they were her own. ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 3,590 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
