“Took a last minute booking after our scheduled boarder decided that our dog was too much. Our dog had no issues with her at all. She saved us from being in a bad position and handled our dog who doesn't like being without us without issue for five days.”


“Wonderful!! Responds promptly very friendly. Deann took excellent care of our boy could of not ask for a better sitter. She made us feel very comfortable gave updates during our trip. I would recommend her to everyone”

“We are so happy that we found Pam. She is amazing with our two dogs, CC and Chewy. She sent us daily photos of them, and we can see they were really enjoying themselves. Her home was perfect for the dogs, they had their own dog door to go in and out of. A very nice sized and secure backyard in a nice neighborhood. Will be using Pam again in the future and the dogs will be so happy to see her again. :)”

“Hannah and Patrick took great care of my lab Junior. He is very high energy and they have a great back yard to accommodate his level of activity. A plus is they had other dogs coming for doggie daycare and Junior is very social. We will be using Hannah and Patrick on a regular basis for doggie daycare and whenever we are out of town for boarding! I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to rest assured their fur babies are in good hands!”

“So happy to have found Leonardo & Oriana! They took such good care of my boy. They kept me updated and were very attentive and responsive. Will only book with them as much as I can! Highly recommend!”

“Kimberly was great with Brandy. Brandy has separation anxiety but it didn't seem like it while she was with Kimberly. I received pictures and videos of Brandy. I am very well pleased and will be using her services again.”

“Met w/naomi discussed socks particular needs which she took into account and meet his needs without it being a problem. Socks took to her home immediately and was comfortable, he received great care while in her home and I was a 1st time user.”

“A wonderful sitter! Kimberley did an excellent job keeping Yasuke. When we got home Yasuke was completely exhausted so I know she had a fantastic time with Kimberley! I would definitely recommend to others!”

“First time using rover or anything similar! We were so nervous but had to leave town for a funeral. Fransisco put all of our worries to bed! He agreed to a meet and greet with us and the dogs before we even booked. His location couldn't be any better for your pups vacation. With a dog park across the street and a fenced in backyard our dogs came home happy and chipper. I can't tell you how much happier our dogs were with Fransisco compared to boarding them. Last time we boarded our dogs they came home exhausted, smelly, paranoid. With Fransisco you can leave your pups with full spirits knowing they'll will be perfectly safe and healthy. Fransisco also has great animal expertise, when it comes to dogs with health complications, he is the pup sitter you NEED!”

“We were nervous leaving our puppy while we were out of the country, but Mitzi was great! Wonderful communication and we really appreciate the photos and updates. We will definitely be using her in the future. And as a bonus, our normally-hyper puppy is still tuckered out a day later!”

“This was my first time using rover.com. Megan was so great! She took in and cared for my pup and grandpup. She updated me on how they were doing and sent photos of them as well. I definitely recommend Megan! I got to focus on family without stressing over their care.”

“Kelli and Jake took such wonderful care of Herschel! I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Our flight got delayed 9 hours & they were so kind in being flexible and caring for him!”

“Laura was FABULOUS with our Chili! She treated him as her own and he has deemed her (As well as her dog!) his new best friends. She is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated with so many pictures and videos while we were away. She has a lovely personality and is most certainly the epitome of a dog person. Thank you Laura!”

“Sophie's stay with Joann was super. She had playmates and got to do her favorite thing, run. She had a large fenced in yard to run in. We received pictures and messages daily. We were completely comfortable that she was in good hands while we were away. We definitely hope Sophie can return to Joann's Camp in the future. We are so glad we found Rover!”

“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”

About: I work fully from home, which allows me to offer a highly attentive and flexible level of care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are ideal for daily walks. I currently have two dogs of my own: Neo, a Lab mix, and Luna, a Golden Retriever. Caring for them daily gives me strong hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable adjusting care based on each dog’s personality and needs. I also foster dogs, including dogs with medical needs and behavioral challenges. This has given me experience administering medication, managing behaviors, recognizing stress signals, and reinforcing basic training techniques when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs that require extra patience, structure, or individualized attention. Because I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention and responsibility I give my own. I intentionally provide quality, attentive care and only take bookings I can fully commit to, so each dog receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and as many potty breaks as needed. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and rest time into the day while making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard with a 6-foot fence, which provides a secure space for dogs to spend time outside safely. Because I work from home full time, dogs in my care receive full attention, close supervision, and are never left alone for long periods. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while following their routine and any specific instructions provided by their owner.
“Miss Elaine was a wonderful host! I had to leave my great Dane with her at the last minute and she was so accommodating and took him in and now, he's earned his spot to come back and visit whenever he needs a dog sitter. I would definitely recommend Miss Elaine because she's so easy to work with and she's also amazing with her updates to make sure you're always in the "Know"”

“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”

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.
100% 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 NC 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.
