“My dog has stayed with Sara a few times now and absolutely loves her. She takes great care of him in all ways. I will definitely have him stay with her again! We could not be happier!”
“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.”
“Coco is my mini Dachshund shadow, and fur companion. We have bonded in our 5 weeks since her adoption. She has been a great source of comfort in a quiet home since the passing of my spouse. Kimberly and her family were available to care for my lil Diva Princess, on short notice. The original boarder was no longer available and I had a trip planned to visit with my daughter out of state. I am truly grateful for the new connection we have made with Kimberly. CoCo was integrated into her family as if she was their own, and I sincerely appreciate the love and care they extended to her. Kimberly’s daughter, Ava spent a lot of time loving CoCo, playing with her, and teaching her new tricks. If you are looking for a sitter that will treat your fur pup like her own, then I encourage you to reach out and try Kimberly.”
“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“My dog seemed like she had a great time after she calmed down after I left (separation anxiety)!! I was even given picture updates! I will definitely be coming back, you can tell Naomi really cares about each dog she watches and wants you to be worry free about your animals while you are away!”
“Pam and her husband were so wonderful with my older beagle, Hank! I could tell from all of my updates and pictures that he was truly on vacation at their house. They were so professional and kind! So appreciative that they took him in and treated them as good as their own ♥️ Will absolutely be reaching out when needing to go out of town again!! The BEST.”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“Megan took care of my goldendoodle Pinki , You can really see her love for animals. She is so charismatic and attentive. You would be silly not to hire her to care for your animals. She is a package deal!! 10/10 Would reccomend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mitzi and her family were amazing with our senior pup, Stoshu! She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and it was clear how sweet and attentive she was with him. Her home felt like a luxury resort for dogs, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“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.”
“Great sitters! They were very accommodating when we had another sitter cancel on us last minute. They allowed us to meet beforehand to make sure our girl was comfortable with them. They sent photo updates every so often and our pupper looked happy, healthy and spoiled. Would definitely book again 🐶”
“Laura was great with Beau and I believe Beau had a great time with Laura and her family including her dog! I would recommend Laura and I will definitely use her again! She was excellent!!”
“Gregorio was wonderful with our mixed German shepherd Evie. He took a great care of her making her comfortable and keeping her clean and safe. We had a great experience leaving her with him. He is a great sitter and we would used his service again if we need to. 10/10! Thank you Gregorio”
“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Princeton on Rover is $44.63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
