About: I’ve spent 10+ years volunteering with local animal rescues and fostering dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. Over that time, I’ve cared for shy dogs, energetic puppies, reactive & high-needs behaviors, & seniors! I frequently walk/dog-sit for friends and family and love the opportunity to love on their pets when they’re away! In my day-to-day, I work with children & families as a licensed professional counselor, and gentleness, nurture and compassion are central to everything I do! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I’m currently between jobs, so I’m home most of the day and have TONS of flexibility! I’m available for lots of attention, playtime, walks, anything that your pet may need - I’m your gal! I’m also available all weekdays and most weekends! I have a fully fenced backyard and one super friendly, well-socialized & docile dog (Chewy) who loves nothing more than having new friends over! I always do slow, supervised introductions and follow whatever routine your dog is used to/whatever you request! If your dog prefers space, I can easily separate areas of my home or provide quiet downtime. I can also crate if needed and have a huge crate (literally Great Dane sized, it’s like a palace for my 70lb dog 😂) as well as a medium sized crate I can have out with cozy padding & a fuzzy bed. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I want things to feel as comfortable and familiar for them as possible! I treat your space gently and respectfully, and I follow your routines so their days still feel steady & safe. I want your dog(s) to feel cared for and loved and always make that a top priority. 💛
About: I am an experienced Veterinary Technician that has worked in the industry for 10 years. I had my own pet sitting and dog walking business in Texas for 6 years before moving to the great state of Nebraska. If selected to take care of your fur babies, I will provide detailed accounts of the interaction that I will have with your pets. I am able to give medications and provide basic medical care. You will be alerted when I notice any sign of illness. You will also be notified when they are being cute. My goal is to provide the best care possible while you are away. I will play with them, love them, and treat them as if they were my own. Taking care of animals is my calling and my passion. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your fur babies. I am a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule to work with your ongoing pet sitting needs. Just let me know what you need! When I am a pet sitter I treat your animals as if they are my own. I pay attention to the details that your pet communicates. I typically can detect early illness and recommend proper intervention to keep your pet healthy. If they are at my house, they are in a fenced backyard and monitored while my dogs play with your dog. I provide plenty of water to prevent dehydration and a nap break to make sure they rest. Be prepared! Your pup will be tired when they return home.
About: I have many years of experience caring for animals of all types! I have worked in a veterinary clinic, at a doggie daycare, and on a chicken farm. I also have a Great Pyrenees of my own who is the love of my life! I understand a lot about pet behavior as I have done a research project at the Capital Humane Society studying the effects of training and one-on-one play. I am also a senior at UNL studying companion animal science! All of my classes are currently online, so I spend most of my time at home! I do have a part-time job, which makes me unavailable on Tuesdays and every other Saturday. I treat every pet like my own! I am unhealthily obsessed with animals. I do have a Great Pyrenees in my home, but I have family members who are more than welcome to watch her if our pets would not get along! I am willing to pet sit in your home if that is easier or if it feels safer for you! I am very accommodating and just want to help out where I can!
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a kid. My friends and family can always rely on me to watch their pets while they’re out of town or in need of some help! I currently have a pretty busy schedule but I am available from 12:30pm-3:30 pm and have pretty open availability over weekends and weekend nights. I’m happy to do what ever it is to make your fur baby happy! I love to keep them happy and give them company!
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I also began pet sitting at a very young age. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats of ages that range from newborn to 15. I also have experience working in an animal boarding facility. I was tasked with taking care of 50 dogs and several cats at a time as well as cats and bunnies on occasion. I administered medication and meals that followed strict diets. I would also walk each pup daily (if required by owner). I have a love for all pups and I will always do whatever I can to ensure they are happy and taken care of! I work 10-3 on weekdays and either afternoons or evenings on weekends. Other than that I am usually free and can be very flexible! As of now, I am living in an apartment. There is a dog park nearby with plenty of room for pups to run and play.

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 your 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
