“There aren't enough words to describe how awesome Rebekah and her family were to our little pup while we were on vacation. From the daily updates, to making her feel like a part of their family, they truly were amazing every step of the way. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing boarding”
“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.”
“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.”
“Awesome experience with Brit and Matt. Thank you so much for letting Monroe take care of you for a weekend. I can tell she had a great time because she is exhausted.”
“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.”
“Kayti was so warm and welcoming to our pups when they came for this first time. She sent lots of pics and videos and kept us informed on how they were adapting as this was the first time they have been left with someone other than family. Our pups loved playing with her dogs and family and fit right in. We will definitely come back and see Kayti again in the future!!”
“2nd time having Cooper stay with Trudy!! This time he didn’t even seem excited to go home! He loves hanging out with all the dogs and Trudy does a great job having her home feel like his home!”
“They gave excellent care to our dog. They went on daily walks, played lots of fetch, and provided lots of care and affection for her. They sent lots of pictures and made us confident she was being taken care of well. I’d highly recommend them!”
“Angela is awesome! She sent updates and photos, and I could tell the dogs were so comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend her as someone you can trust with your pups!”
“My experience with Crystal M. Was wonderful. I was kept updated through photos and texts. I would definitely recommend her services, and I will definitely be a repeating customer.”
“Jadyn took excellent care of Lewis while I was out of town for a week. He requires a few extra levels of care which she was more than able to accommodate! :) I picked up a happy, content, well-cared for dog!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was in middle school. Since then, I've become a dog trainer and can provide care for a wide variety of dogs, including dogs with additional care needs. I'm an AKC evaluator and I spend my free time competing with my dogs in a variety of sports! I take special care and pride in the animals I care for. I have 3.5 acres for your pet to romp around throughout the day (while supervised of course). I work hybrid so I spend 50% of business days working from home. On the weekends, I don't have to go in-office. My entire life revolves around my dogs and adding your pet into our routine will be an easy transition! I have a 3.5 acre yard and 5 of my own dogs. I keep client dogs separate from my personal dogs and other client dogs unless discussed and agreed upon beforehand so you know your pup is safe. All of my dogs are friendly and play together easily.
“Here’s the updated review: I was so nervous leaving Riggs with someone outside of family for the first time, but Rachel made the entire experience wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and clear about what to expect, which made me feel so much more at ease. Throughout the week, she was communicative, sent me pictures of Riggs, and listened carefully to all of my instructions. Rachel went above and beyond to make sure Riggs was comfortable—she took him on walks, gave him plenty of attention, and truly cared for his needs, including helping ease his anxiety. It was obvious that he absolutely loved being with her! This was my first time using Rover, and Rachel made it such a positive experience. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
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, 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 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.
