About: 🐾 About Me Pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. ❤️ I’m a military spouse and lifelong animal lover. Before being stationed in North Carolina, I spent six years working at an animal hospital in Rhode Island, where I worked as a veterinary assistant, cared for animals in the kennel, and provided dog-sitting services. I truly understand how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about mine. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply someone to keep them company, I’d love the opportunity to care for them while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. 🐾❤️ I’ll care for your dogs and cats with patience, love, and lots of attention while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I’m available for regular walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, while keeping each pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your home is your pets safe space, I'll treat it with the same care and respect I'll give your pets. During checkins, walks or playtime I will keep a close eye on their safety and follow your routines and instructions.

“Ms. Kim and her family are the sweetest doggie loving family. I can literally have a talk to my dog tell her she’s going over there and she instantly becomes extremely excited! She starts crying to see them. She listens better to them than to myself! Makes me a proud doggie mama. I feel so stress free leaving her with them. They are God sent to us!!!”

“Leaving our first-born fur baby with someone else for the first time was a big deal for us, but Pam made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for the dogs in her care. Throughout our girl’s stay, Pam kept us updated and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was being treated like part of the family rather than just being boarded. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. That meant the world to us. We are so grateful to Pam for her kindness, attentiveness, and the love she showed our first-born fur baby. We highly recommend Pam to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Pam, for taking such wonderful care of our girl—we will definitely be back!”

“Kimberly was very accommodating with her time. There was a storm in the area and she offered to keep Madison longer if I did not want to continue my trip until the weather improved. Madison made herself at home with Kimberly and her daughter. She was very well rested for the next leg of our trip home. Thank You Kimberly.”

“Kelly and Jacob were great. They took care of my hyper 3month old Lab puppy for the weekend. My dog seemed to feel safe with them as he was cuddling up with the kids on the couch. Kelly was great about sending pictures of my puppy during his stay and made me not have to worry about if he was okay.”

About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience combined with deep instinctual empathy. Having cared for dogs for 17+ years, I am highly attuned to their body language, unique personalities, and emotional needs. I am flexible and can travel to different homes whether is Wake County or Johnston County! Special Skills I Bring to Your Home: Senior & Special Needs Comfort: My extensive experience means I have the deep patience required for aging dogs. I am familiar with maintaining strict medication schedules, managing low-mobility routines, and providing a calm, reassuring presence. Puppy Patience & Routine: I know how crucial consistency is for younger dogs. I will gladly reinforce your house-training rules, basic command structures, and positive behavior techniques. Anxious or Shy Dog Care: Because I understand dog behavior, I know how to give nervous pups their space to adjust, building trust gently at their own pace. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekend routine as a focused part-time commitment. Availability: Friday 5:00 PM – Monday 8:00 AM pickup. Service Options: Dog sitting at your home or overnight boarding at mine. Yard & Safety: Secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor exercise and play. Built-in Buddy: I have a calm, friendly medium-sized mixed pup, so your dog will always have gentle company and never feel alone." Boarding at My Home (Friday 5:00 PM – Monday 8:00 AM) Safe Outdoor Play: Dogs enjoy frequent, supervised access to a secure, fully fenced yard for exercise, bathroom breaks, and fresh air. Built-in Companionship: My calm, friendly, medium-sized mixed dog provides gentle company so guest pups never feel lonely. Routine Continuity: I closely follow the owner’s regular feeding schedule, medication needs, and bedtime habits to keep stress low. Cozy Environment: Dogs have free access to comfortable resting areas inside the house, treated just like family members. Client Updates: Owners receive daily photo and text updates so they know their pet is relaxed and having fun. Daytime Care at the Client's Home (Fridays Starting at 5:00 PM & Weekends) Familiar Surroundings: Pets stay in their own comfortable environment, which is ideal for dogs that get anxious away from home. Tailored Attention: Each visit includes scheduled feedings, fresh water refills, potty breaks, neighborhood walks, and interactive play sessions. Home Care & Security: Beyond pet care, visits help keep the home secure by bringing in mail, rotating lights, and keeping everything tidy. Real-Time Check-Ins: I send quick updates and photos after visits to confirm arrival, activities, and departure.

“My husband and I were out of town for 5 days and Michelle did such a great job in keeping our Lewey. She was consistent with sending pictures and updates which always helps us to feel relaxed knowing he is doing well. He is taken on walks, enjoys the interaction of other dogs who may also be present and overall Lewey always has a good experience. Michelle is very good with dogs and Lewey is always so happy when we pull up in the driveway and he sees Michelle coming. Thank you, Michelle, for taking good care of him.”

Not only did she take fantastic care of our fur baby, but she also sent us daily pictures/videos (which really made me feel better), did obedience training (which we weren't expecting but are grateful for), and really made Athena feel loved and special. Thank you very much Hanna, you are awesome!!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Princeton on Rover is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $65 per night. 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 407 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.

100% 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.

<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.

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.
