“They were very nice and I feel like they took care of my baby well. They said she did fine there too. My dog gets a bit of anxiety when I leave her, but they said she did well and got along with other dogs who were there as well.”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“I’m very new to this pet sitting thing but I think overall it seemed to go okay. I needed to board her due to a move. Skye is busy checking out the new place. I would use her again for sure.”
“Our Boon loved being at Talisha’s, especially with his buddy Jack! Finally a dog his size to play with. I can already tell he misses him. Open communication and pictures from Talisha was the best. We love seeing Boon having fun! The Rae-Pederson Family”
“Candace took great care of Huckleberry and Annabelle. They had fun playing with the other dogs and she sent me updates and photos. I was nervous leaving my dogs for the first time ever, but she put my mind at ease. We have already booked with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Leila received a ton of love and I could tell she was well cared for. I would not hesitate to book Meghann again. She and her family were wonderful and took great care of my elderly Leila. I received regular updates and Meghann's communication was excellent.”
“Sophan was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She really came through for us when our plans unexpectedly changed, and we’re so grateful she was able to care for him. She treated him like her own. Brushing him, taking him on multiple walks each day, playing fetch in her big yard, and keeping us updated on how happy he was. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. Honestly, when we came to pick him up, he didn’t even want to leave! 😂 You truly couldn’t ask for a better person to love and care for your pet while you’re away. We’re so grateful to Sophan and would absolutely trust her with our dog again!”
“First time using Rover and Enrique exceeded our expectations! Was so responsive, sent pics, and updates throughout the day. We were so lucky to have found him, and he will be a go to in the future! He watched our very young puppy and gave her the love and attention she needed (especially being so young). Our puppy also made a new bestie with his sweet dog Buttons. Definitely gave us peace of mind knowing our new puppy was with a great family!”
“Jen was very responsive, she was great with my puppy and sent pictures throughout het stay. I am a fairly new puppy mom and she took the time to meet me prior and help ease nerves of leaving Maya alone with a stranger. She even gave her a pedicure :) I would highly recommend her and will keep her in mind for the future!”
About: I’ve always had a special love for dogs and have experience caring for Havanese throughout their lives. I raised and trained my first Havanese from 3 months old, and she was a beloved part of my family for 15 wonderful years. After she sadly passed, I knew I couldn’t imagine life without a dog, so I welcomed another Havanese puppy into my family a little over a year ago. I’ve also always enjoyed spending time with my cousins and their dogs. We would get our dogs together regularly so they could play and socialize. My cousins recently welcomed a Goldendoodle into their family, and I’ve loved getting to know her as well. She enjoys long walks, playing fetch, and even dressing up! Through raising and caring for my own dogs and spending time with other dogs, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, affection, exercise, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I currently work a full-time job and typically get off around 3:30 PM, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week. I’m also available throughout the weekends and would love the opportunity to spend that time caring for and keeping your pup company! I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I always make your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and supervision while respecting your pet’s individual personality and space. I also keep a clean, secure environment and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Cindy was super nice! Also made sure we got lots of pictures and video of our puppy! Would recommend her to anyone. She was also very responsive with messages and coordinating everything! If we need it again we will definately be checking with her first!”
“Maria was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my pup, Baylee, and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the start that she’s attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Dafflyn is great. My dog required extra attention and patience due to medical concerns and she was wonderful with him. Getting photos and videos provided such peace of mind and warmed my heart while missing my fur kiddo. I will definitely be booking with Dafflyn again!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was 12 years old, I’ve trained,fed, and exercised my family pets, and dog sat for extended family for years. I currently stay at home mom. I’m able to let my pets out whenever they need me to, being a stay at home mom lets me interact with my pets anytime so they are never alone. I live on 34 acres but currently do not have a fenced in yard. My dog has a e-collar which keeps him close to home. I can also provide a long lead if a pet is known to wonder.

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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Princeton is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $51 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.

As of October 2026, there are 431 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 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.
96% 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 MN 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.
