About: I’ve had pets of my own for the last ten years, and I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors , so I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry loved ones in someone else’s care. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with the same love, attention, and consistency I give my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy, a senior pet who needs a gentler touch, or a shy cat who just needs a calm companion, I take time to learn each animal’s unique personality and routine. I’m prone to sending daily photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and commitment to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From long walks to cozy cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins throughout the work week, and I’m home and fully available on weekends for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. I make it a priority to give each pet quality time, attention, and care — whether that’s a quick walk, playtime, or some extra cuddles before bedtime. Your pet’s comfort and routine always come first! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or stopping by for check-ins, I make sure they’re in a calm, familiar environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding schedules to walk times — and pay close attention to any special instructions you provide. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes for security, and I take extra care with pets who are shy, curious, or still learning boundaries. You can count on me to treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. I’ll keep things tidy, provide photo updates, and make sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for while you’re away.
About: I've been rescuing dogs and cats and anything else I could get my hands on since I was a child. I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and a shelter for 4 years. I've fostered many dogs and cats for local rescue organizations and have lots of experience with animal care and behavior. I provide a happy, home environment for your pets at an affordable rate! I will keep you updated with lots of photos and videos every day. My family loves all breeds and sizes of dogs. When they are with us they are family! Our home is their home. We also keep small, caged animals..ferrets, Guinea pigs, etc. Many vet references and personal references available to you upon request. Thank you for your consideration! I always have plenty of time and love to give to your furry family members while you relax and enjoy your time away from home. I have a secured fenced yard for play time and potty time. They will never be left unattended outside. They will have free roam in my pet friendly home or they can have their own quiet kennel space if needed.
About: I have taken care of my families pets, and my neighbors pets since I was 13 years old. Everyone and my neighborhood trusted me to go and feed their fur babies and if need to be, take them for a walk. I am currently working part time, as a certified nursing assistant. So I have very flexible hours and I’m willing to work with your schedule. If your fur baby will be boarding with me, I have one loving dog they can play with and/or I have two very playful cats and a variety of space where they can play.
About: hello my name is Samantha. I have had almost every kind of pet growing up and I absolutely loved all of them as if they were my own human children. pets our family so I will make sure your fur babies are taken care of. I currently work part time - mainly Thursdays and Saturdays. So I am free during the week to take care of your precious fur babies. I have two cats in my apartment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 146 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Princeton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Princeton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
