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.

About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.

About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest…I will be there too. My other job is driving for Uber and I work that around Pet Sitting so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special friend! I no longer do boarding as I have a 1 year old cat and will be looking to introduce a playmate for him. I like to work my schedule around the pet’s schedule and needs, and provide what each pet is used to on a daily basis - feeding times, medicine administration, sleeping habits, walks, etc.

About: I have had both cats and dogs almost my entire life and have worked as a Veterinarian Technician in an animal shelter and for a small family owned Vet. I strive to bring my knowledge and love for animals to my community so that pet care can be more affordable for regular people (such as myself). With the knowledge I have gathered from both working in office, having pets, sitting family pets, and my many years of pet grooming I hope to make my home a safe haven for your pet. We can also discuss natural treatments for pets which I've studied for a while now when it comes to specific breeds, mixed breeds, and their genetic ailments. I will soon be making all natural dog & cat treats for pets. I can also train pets through the treat/clicker system which has worked well for all of my pets and a plenty of others. If you would like for me to train them please let me know. Please contact me directly. I currently work from home and have a really flexible schedule. More than likely your pet will stay in the room with me (if they choose as i love cuddles as much as they might). Your pet can also hang out in the living room if they choose. They will go outside as many times as needed through the day until I get off at 5:30pm which then we will go for a walk. I also have a back yard. In which I will allow them to exert any additional energy throughout the day. I care for pets by paying attention to them and understanding the small hints they give indicating what they need at that time. I also create a potty schedule based on the dogs water/food intake to avoid accidents. I have no pets at the time so your pet will have my full attention. If permitted by the owner, I will groom, bathe, and train their pets.

About: I am very energetic! I love to play outside with dogs. I love to play fetch and ball. I love to play in the sprinkler with dogs. I love to go on runs with dogs and make sure they are having the best time! I am always excited to play with dogs! I always make sure that they have the option to use the bathroom and always have access to water so they never get dehydrated. If they take any medicine, I make sure I have an alarm that lets me know it's time for them to take it! I always make sure that the dog feels comfortable at all times, and I always keep the owner updated to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I know your dog is your best friend, but when you can't be there with them, let me take care of them until you can! I do have base access! I have a very open schedule throughout the week and would love to play with your fur baby while you are away! So don't you worry, they will definitely get loved on until you get back! One way I ensure your baby is safe is by always going outside with them even when it's bad weather! I try to always make sure that your fur baby feels calm and safe no matter the situation. Another way I make sure they are safe is ensuring they are not in an area they are not normally allowed in alone. If we were to go on a walk or an adventure, I'd make sure they have on their collar and leash and of course send you lots of pictures while we're out!

About: Growing up, I had plenty of cats and dogs, both trained and untrained. I treat fur babies like literal humans, they deserve it. I love to cuddle with animals, play outside, or just be lazy together. I work for myself so I make my own schedule. Therefore, it isn’t hard for me to make arrangements to keep a pet or go and hangout. I have no fur babies as of now (mine recently passed) so you won’t have to worry about your pet being in a fight or hurt by the paws of any animal of mine. My home is on an acre of land with only one neighbor. I have a screened in back porch if the animal loves to sunbathe. I make it a priority to learn any pet I encounter.

About: I've been around and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I still help care for my family's pets and also have a cat of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I also grew up near neighbors who fostered dogs and puppies, and I loved spending time helping socialize and play with their foster puppies. This gave me experience being around puppies of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, puppy care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I'll always follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same kindness and attention I'd want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, as well as many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks and pet care into my routine is something I'd genuinely enjoy! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated (with lots of pictures if needed!) while you're away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have had dog pets most of my life. My fur baby recently passed and I would rather love others than get another. Pets are the treasures of the planet! I'm currently working full-time and looking for something to fill my spare time. No better way then to spend it with pets. I am available all days with flexible times. My home is on a large piece of property and has fences from bordering properties, but is not fully enclosed. However, no pets will be outside unsupervised. In order to keep your pets safe I would leash walk them.

About: I have had dogs my whole life ranging from 175 to 50 pounds. My family also breeds dogs so I’m comfortable with all ages. I have dog sat for numerous family and friends and love all animals so your pet will get treated as if they were my own. I’ve also took care of dogs that take medication, are on special diets. I have a full time job but I make my own schedule so I will base that off of my schedule with rover. Pets will be well taken care of and took on walks. If your pet is more laid back and likes to lay around all day then we will do that. If your pet has a lot of energy and like to run the we can do that as well. I have plenty of yard for your pet/pets to play. I currently don’t have any other animals in the house and am waiting for my puppy to be born! Your pet will be allowed on furniture unless that is a rule you have then I will not go against it. I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and crates if needed.

About: Hi there! I grew up surrounded by animals, so taking care of pets comes naturally to me. From dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship, I understand the unique needs of each pet and always provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

Let me help take the stress out of leaving your pet behind – they'll be in good hands! I work 9-6 M-F with an hour lunch break. I live in very close proximity to my job, so easy for me to drop in. I don’t have a yard, but my complex has a dog park. The neighborhood is full of pets and everyone’s friendly. I love going on walks so that’s something we will do. I love to play with animals.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Princeton is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 795 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Princeton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Princeton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
