“My dog seems to enjoy staying with Thomas and Sue and she doesn't like being away from me so that is comforting. They have a nice mellow dog that she gets along well with so I think it is fun for her since she doesn't get opportunity to play with other dogs often. They give her lots of attention and care for her well.”
“These guys are amazing! They have been very attentive to Axel. They have routines, send pictures, and follow all of our dogs needs. We will definitely be going back!”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Jessica was awesome! She kept me updated on how Winnie was settling in and enjoying her time. Winnie came home exhausted from all the running around and playing she did. Will definitely be using Jessica for any future needs!”
“Caitlin was so incredible to our girls. We got lots of great pictures and updates! She was great for both my super senior and my rocket dog who never wants to quit playing. They were picked up and dropped off which was such a blessing when our flights were at crazy times. Sue gave us the sweetest parting gift as well. Love Caitlin!!!”
“Mikaela was wonderful hosting our pup. She was excellent at coordinating drop off and pick up. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sent to us. Our dog was always excited to go back over and they welcomed him warmly into their home.”
“She was a perfect match for the dogs. Needed someone to watch our dogs and she accepted. One of my dogs had a bad night with thunder storms, she was there to help my dog stay calm. Will definitely have her dog sit for me again! Thank you”
“Outstanding. Totally recommend her, and I look forward to using her services more. Arlo, my mellow Husky, was so relaxed and content when I picked him up. She even sent several photos and updates during his stay.”
“Talishia did an amazing job with my puppy! My Nova was having an absolute blast in the fenced in yard with Talishia's dog when I went to pick her up, her dog was very sweet about my puppy being a high energy (and a bit chaotic) playmate. Absolutely great experience, I feel like Nova was well cared for and was given plenty of attention :)”
“Thank you Karlee for taking care of Carmen! Carmen travels with us a lot and it’s so helpful for us to have a safe place for her stay when we are away from home and have non dog activities planned.”
“We so appreciate Sara taking Toby. We're so happy we found her. She was able to help us out on short notice to take him. Sara took the time with Toby and sent updates everyday, you could tell he was very happy and comfortable at her house. We will definitely have Toby go there in the future. Thank You Sara!”
“Christina and Jeremy were awesome! Super responsive and made us feel very comfortable leaving our puppy with them. They updated us with photos so we knew that our guy was doing well. Couldn’t be happier with them and the service they provided. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“My two little girls seemed to have had a ball. I have been very apprehensive about leaving them with anyone after losing my little Olivia nearly 2 years ago to a thief who took her out of a friend's backyard while she was watching her for me. The communication and pictures really helped to put me at ease. I will definitely be using them again.”
“We have never felt so comfortable with a stranger taking in our dog ever. Hannah was so professional and yet so down to earth! Her husband also was very personable and kind! Our dog was so happy and we could tell she was take. Care of very well!”
“Andrea was great! We would highly recommend if you have a high energy dog. She was the first one to ever care for our baby. At the time he was an 11 month old, in tact, Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He is A LOT to handle. We got daily updates and pictures which was awesome. He appeared to be having the time of his life and not missing us at all. She allows her dogs on the furniture but we don’t. We asked her to keep him on the floor. We received pictures where her dog was on the furniture but ours was on the floor. We appreciated not having to retrain him.”
“Sami is older and Katie makes sure that she's taken care of. A good sign Is that sami is eating all of her food. She won't eat if she's nervous about her surroundings.”
“Our dogs loved it here. The perfect environment for them. Our one dog is a very anxious dog and she usually doesn’t do good with boarding and when she comes back she’s a wreck but she came home perfectly normal and the dogs loved it there. Candace and her husband were so kind and treated them like their own. I have our next stay already booked for them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
We cannot recommend Olivia highly enough! We were so nervous about leaving our dog, Raylee, for a week while on vacation. Raylee is incredibly timid and shy—we actually tried boarding her at a kennel once, but she became so anxious and overwhelmed that the staff called us to pick her up after just an hour. Choosing Olivia was the best decision we could have made. Olivia was wonderfully patient, gentle, and understanding with Raylee, giving her the care and space she needed to feel safe. The updates and photos Olivia sent completely eased my mind and allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing Raylee was in the best hands. If you have a sensitive or anxious pet, Olivia is an absolute lifesaver. We will definitely be booking her again!
Olivia did a great job. She is so kind and friendly. I was very comfortable talking with her. More importantly, she took good care of my dog. He loved playing with Olivia’s dog. Olivia sent pictures showing them romping in the yard. The fact that she has a fenced in yard is perfect and gives the dogs a place to run.

98% 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.

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.

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 MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

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.
