About: Iv taken care of dogs since I was 16. My family has always had dogs and would breed golden retrievers. I would help take care of them from just coming out of their momma all the way up to the day they would go to heaven. I am a stay at home mom. I have so much time to care for dogs and love dogs so much! I have had a dog ever since I was little and don’t plan to ever go without one! I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play. I also have a golden retriever to keep your fur baby company! They will love it!
“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes for neighbors, friends, and family while they were away for days at a time. I really enjoy making pets feel comfortable and cared for through walks, feeding, playtime, and attention, and I’ve also helped with daycare and grooming pick-ups and drop-offs. I’m currently not working, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to provide pet care full-time. I don’t have children or pets of my own right now, which allows me to dedicate my full attention and care to the pets I’m watching. I’m available for a variety of needs, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I do not have a fenced-in yard, and I live in a quiet private home/villa in a safe neighborhood. All outdoor time is always supervised and on leash to ensure pets are safe at all times. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions from owners so they feel comfortable and cared for like home. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with consistent attention, patience, and care throughout their stay.
About: I prefer communication between the pet parent and pet and I am having strict instructions. I am loyal and dedicated and love animals. I am ready to care for them I’m available for 5 AM to 7 PM Monday through Sunday preferably if possible 10 AM through 5 pm but I am open to different hours, I am flexible and will work with you I prefer to do drop-ins or daily sitting jobs, I will come when you need me and follow instructions and can’t wait to meet your pets and get familiar with them and then get married with me and take time for them to warm up. Dogs typically warm up to be fairly fast and I help people find pets from rescue.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. Been taking care of my own dogs for 5 years now, but have plenty of experience before that. feeding, bathing, potty training, obedience training. I love to go on long walks with dogs, and I love to play with cats! I am a part time server and nanny. I start school in the fall and will have extra time on my hands in between classes and homework. I have two dogs at my home, we go on plenty of walks and we have enrichment time indoors as well as outdoors. I would do the same for your doggo children.
About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.

About: Hi! I’m Brooke, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently share my home with dogs of my own and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. As a former operations executive, reliability, communication, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can expect prompt updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet’s stay. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a beloved family member. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering most oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and ensuring your pet receives the individualized care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and spend a significant amount of time at home, which means pets in my care are rarely left alone for extended periods. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, and enrichment activities into each day while maintaining the routines and structure pets are accustomed to at home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, triggers, and any special care instructions before their stay or visit. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules to help pets feel comfortable and maintain consistency. In my home, pets are provided with a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and opportunities to rest. Introductions to resident pets are done thoughtfully and at a pace that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions, maintain security by ensuring doors and gates remain secure, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their time with me.
About: I have watched beloved family pets for many friends and family during my life time. Being an animal lover myself, I know that your pets are family and I make sure to treat them as such! Growing up with family dogs and cats, and currently our funky boxer dog Rufus, I know what it takes to be a successful animal sitter and how much love they need. I work a full time job, from 9-4:30 pm Monday-Friday with the exception of one remote day on Wednesdays. Most pets are used to this schedule. I will ensure they will have potty breaks first thing in the morning, during my lunch break at 1, and then once I return to the home at 5. And then several throughout the evening and before bed. I will care for your pet in the environment they feel the safest in… your home. By allowing your animal to remain at home, it eases their stress and anxiety and gives them a comforting feel of familiarity. No need to pack up enough food and treats for the week. I will be happy to follow your thorough instructions on how to care for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 186 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.

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.
