“I am so thrilled to have found Judy!! I've had Shilo stay with Judy and her husband a few times now and I couldn't be happier. Shilo loves to run and the large fenced in backyard is perfect. Judy's dog, Rosie is sweet and welcoming. The updates and photos are great and relieves any worry or stress that I may have had!!! When it comes time for pick up, although Shilo appears to be happy to see me she also seems quite content to stay with judy....which is a really good sign!!”

“Melissa was great ! My two Golden Retrievers had such a great time and loved being around the kids. They came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Once again, we couldn’t be happier that our puppy, Lucy, was able to stay with Dawn and her family while we were out of town! We love that Lucy is not only so well cared for, but also gets to socialize with Dawn’s younger kids, their friends, and other dogs throughout her stay (we love getting photos and updates!) Lucy came home happy and exhausted - thank you, Dawn!”


“Our dog Shelby had a fabulous time staying with Luiz and his family! They have super security to make sure dogs are in a fenced off area which made us feel very safe. They are dog lovers and we felt very secure leaving Shelby with them just for one night. If we needed to board with them again for a longer period of time we wouldn’t think twice. They have a lovely home and are lovely dog-loving people- you will feel very safe leaving your furry family member(s) with them in the comfort of their home!”
“Svetlana and her family were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Milo! They’re kind, caring, and made him feel completely at home. Milo loved all the cuddles and attention he got — he clearly enjoyed spending time with them. I could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. I’m so grateful to have found such a loving family to look after him. Highly recommend Svetlana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and affectionate sitter!”

“We have been bringing our dog Pepper to Tamara and her family for several years now. It is comforting to know Pepper is well cared for when we are away. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave! 10/10, highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to birds, guinea pigs, and more—so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. In my home, every pet is treated like family, with lots of love, attention, patience, playtime, and cuddles. I also keep owners updated by sending photos throughout the day, so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, comfortable, and truly at home. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, attention, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and exercise they need while staying with me. I provide a safe, clean, loving, and comfortable home where every pet is treated like part of my family. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to play and explore. I always supervise the pets, provide a calm environment, and follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions from their owner.
“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”

“Amanda and her family were so wonderful with Rocky and made me feel so comfortable leaving him. She sent me adorable pictures of Rocky being taken care of so well. I could tell he was happy and cared for.”

About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently working 6:30am-12pm, M-F (sometimes Saturday, 7am-12pm). I'm available for drop-in visits any day of the week, after 12pm and on the weekends. I can house sit during the week as long as your pet doesn't mind an early morning! 🙂. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.

“Pumba stayed with them for over a week and had a blast. We got regular updates and very cute pictures of Pumba and all of his friends. Their yard is huge and a dogs dream and I’m sure Pumba can’t wait to go back!”

“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”

“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”

“Liza was amazing with our dog! He boarded at her house for a week while we were on vacation and she treated him like family! She sent pictures and updates everyday, and our dog loved playing in her fenced in yard. We will definitely book Liza again!”

“Pat was a great petsitter for my little dog. She is very friendly and calm. We had a nice and thorough meet and greet at her house and went over my pup’s information. I provided some written info about my dog’s routines with feeding, meds etc that Pat was attentive to. My dog loved staying at Pat’s home, especially lying in the sunshine napping! I knew she was in good hands during the three days away, which allowed me to have a great trip. Pat’s husband was also very nice and my pup loved him too. I got a photo update each morning with a text about what Pat & my dog had been up to together. The one time my dog exhibited an unusual behavior (just instinctively trying to cover her food to save it for later!), Pat sent me a quick video to ask about it, which made me feel good about the care my dog was receiving. Overall I was totally happy with our experience having Pat petsit. We look forward to using her when I have to travel again soon and I recommend her without reservation. Thanks very much Pat!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Princeton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $76 per night. 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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Princeton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Princeton home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Princeton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Princeton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
