“Judy was awesome with my dog, Cody! Her upbeat personality and love of dogs was so evident- and my dog really enjoyed her yard- he kept running in circles! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay- I definitely hope to book with Judy again!”
“We are SO thankful to have found Briana and her family! Winston has played at her house for daycare and just recently stayed with her for a week. I really appreciated all the pictures she sent everyday and have no doubt he had lots of fun playing with his doggy friends and being loved by Briana and her family! If you need a loving home away from home for your doggy, don’t hesitate to contact Briana!”
“Melissa & Axel took amazing care of our golden retriever over a two night weekend stay. They sent us plenty of updates and we could tell that our dog loved the stay with their family.”
“Our two pugs came home happy as could be from Melissa’s after spending a week over the Thanksgiving holiday. We received feedback and photos throughout the week showing they were enjoying themselves as welcomed guests in her home. We are already planning to rebook for our next vacation.”
“Friendly, professional, and organized. Really nice guy, really nice place for dog-sitting. Kiwi came back from the weekend healthy and upbeat and he was super communicative by text.”
“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!”
“Andreana is beyond wonderful!! She did such a good job with my Sassy, even giving me tips on how to better cater to Sassy’s challenging eating habits! Sassy looked very happy in all of her pictures and I knew she was in great hands! I will definitely book her again in the future!!”
“Thank you for loving and caring for our pup, again :) Bailey enjoys her time with you all, she comes home tired and happy! We appreciate the pictures and your communicative nature.”
“Simba say thank you for another great weekend with you and your family! He’s always so happy to go see his 4 legged and 2 legged friends! His happiness and willingness to be dropped off definitely puts my mind at ease knowing he’s being well cared for. See you soon!!!!”
“I went through 4 pet sitters, and Sue is the best pet sitter out of those 4, she send pics to us every day while we on vacation so we don’t feel like missing our pet at the same time make us worryless, we definitely come back to her when we are on vacation again”
“We have used luiz and his beautiful family for several doggy day care options but this was the first time they boarded walter for us. Walter is a young man with an abundance of energy and they made sure he had plenty of play time and also rest time. I really appreciated the pictures and videos I was sent throughout the day as it really helps ease my mind being away from my babies! Will definitely use him again!!”
“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”
“Erica is the best!! My dog always has fun with her and I know she is in great hands. She has a lot of playful energy as she is still young, but by the time she comes home she always sleeps a good amount, so I know she has had a great time! Would recommend!”
“Paola was amazing! Benny got comfortable right away. Paola provided updates without being prompt and kept Benny safe and happy. Paola was also flexible with the last minute change on who was going to be doing drop-off and pick-off. Benny will definitely be visiting Paola’s again!”
“Thank you Emily for making Sherlock feel at home!!! Sherlock was welcomed as part of their own family. Emily and all her family members made it very easy for him! He had a very comfortable stay! ❤️”
“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!”
“I recommend her; she's very communicative and loving, and that's how she was with Tonka. She kept me updated throughout his stay, letting me know how Tonka was doing and sharing photos. I always knew how he was doing, and she always answered my messages.”
“Melissa was wonderful! She was friendly, easy to contact, and responded to my texts very quickly. In addition, she sent me pictures of Ollie enjoying himself in her fenced in yard and relaxing in her home. She was great about giving Ollie his medicine,too. I recommend her enthusiastically, and will board my dog with her again if I can.”
“Victoria was amazing! This is the first time she has watched Charlie for us. She is an excellent communicator and consistently provides photos! She is very responsive in a timely manner and her family is also involved in providing care and lots of love too! We will definitely re-book with her!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Princeton on Rover is $86.03 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,293 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
89% of Princeton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Princeton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Princeton home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
