House Sitting in Princeton

“Kristin stayed at my home for a week while I was gone. Kristen had the ability to work most or all for the time from home, at least the week I was out of town. I have two dogs, plus Kristin brought in mail and newspapers and did other chores. First of all, she was a great communicator. I got daily photos and notes about how they were doing. Kristin did everything I asked and I would hire her again.The dogs were happy when I got home and the house looked just as I had left it. Kristin interacted well with the dogs and they all seemed to bond. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any Rover customer. Penny”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! There's nothing quite like the unconditional love and joy they bring into our lives, and getting to care for them is something I treasure. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in extended overnight pet care, I bring a level of dedication and reliability that goes beyond the basics. My background in pediatrics and childcare has given me transferable skills in patience, attentiveness, and routine-building, all of which translate seamlessly into providing exceptional care for your pets. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience handling complex medical needs including administering medication, applying topical treatments, and accommodating specialized dietary requirements. Whether you have a curious puppy, a playful kitten, or a senior pet with unique needs, I approach every animal with patience and genuine love. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'll handle day-to-day household tasks such as collecting mail and packages, taking out the trash, and keeping things tidy so you return to a clean, welcoming home, and happy, well cared for pets. I welcome last-minute and short-notice bookings, as I understand life doesn't always go as planned, and I'm happy to step in whenever you need me. I follow your instructions closely and will always go above and beyond to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. At the end of the day, I'm not just a sitter, I'm someone who will love your pets like my own, and that's a promise. While I work a standard 8-4 weekday schedule, my schedule is designed to give your pet consistent attention throughout the day. During the week, I'm available for walks and check-ins in the early morning before work, over my lunch break, and in the evenings. For overnight stays, I'm fully available on weekdays as well — just keep in mind I'll be away from 8–4, with a check-in over lunch. Weekends are completely open, giving me full flexibility for longer visits, overnights, or anything else your pet needs. Whether I'm house-sitting, walking your dog, or stopping in for a check-in, your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect. I'm there to care for your pet and maintain your space, not disrupt it. During house-sitting stays, I follow your established routines as closely as possible to keep your pet feeling secure and at ease in their own environment. I'll ensure doors, gates, and any containment areas are secure at all times, and I always keep emergency contact information and your vet's details on hand should anything come up. For dog walks, I keep dogs leashed and under close supervision at all times, paying attention to their comfort level and energy throughout the walk. I never push a dog beyond what they're comfortable with and always make sure they're safely returned home before I leave. For in-home check-ins, I make sure your pet has fresh water, food per your instructions, and plenty of attention before I go. I'll always leave your home exactly as I found it and provide updates so you have peace of mind while you're away. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so your pet gets the benefit of staying in the comfort of their own familiar environment — which is often the least stressful option for them.

“Ashlee was wonderful. She took care of our Willow and also our home. I would trust her to take care of my dog anytime. She is responsible and very caring for our furry friend. Thank you Ashlee.”

About: I’ve watched dogs for about 5 years of all ages and sizes. Ages from 1-13 and sizes from 15 pounds to 150 pounds. I love to get play and cuddle time since I moved away from my pup! I am a student in college with one part time job on Wednesday and Friday from 5:30 pm to 9 pm. I love the idea of a flexible schedule that will get me outside. I can dog sit in the clients home as I live in an apartment and can’t have pets at mine. I have a car if the distance is a bit further so I don’t mind going there.

“Macy was responsive in the interview process, engaged in a zoom and an in-person meeting prior to dog-sitting. She sent several photos of our dogs during her 17-day stay. When we returned, our plants were alive and the house was in good order, and most importantly, the dogs were healthy.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets pretty much my whole life! I’ve owned horses for 10 years, dogs all my life, and I have had to grow up taking on responsibilities to care for them. I have scheduled appointments, washed, fed, and walked dogs as needed. I truly love animals and would love nothing more to care for your pet! I’m currently working full-time (9am-2pm), but work from home Monday & Fridays! Perfect for walks, playing and potty breaks as needed. I’m also pretty active, so I love to take breaks as much as possible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, which makes it easy for walks and play time! I love to play and cuddle up with any dog as much as I can!

“Whitney was the best! Stayed with & cared for my senior 16 year old black lab mix for 4 days/3 nights. Communicated with me daily so I was able to relax knowing Tebow was being well cared for. I am so glad I connected with Whitney on Rover.com.”

About: I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. I have a chocolate lab puppy, so I’m very experienced with energetic dogs and training, and I also have another dog with separation anxiety, which has helped me learn how to comfort pets who may feel nervous or miss their owners. I enjoy helping puppies learn and grow, and I also have a big heart for animals in need—if I ever see a stray, I make it a priority to make sure they’re safe and help them find a home or get help. That same level of care goes into every pet I watch. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part-time and am not scheduled often, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m able to let your dog out during breaks, as well as before and after work. I’m also willing to get up early or stay late to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I follow all instructions and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. In my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with my friendly 7-year-old dog. I can crate your dog if needed and am happy to let them sleep with me if that’s what they’re used to. My chocolate lab puppy stays with another family, so that won’t be a concern.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have two dogs back home in Omaha that I absolutely adore. Being away from them during my last summer in Lincoln made me realize how much joy animals bring into my life, which is what inspired me to join Rover. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pets with someone, so I always aim to provide dependable care and regular updates with photos. I work full time during weekdays, so I’m best suited for pets comfortable with a daytime routine, but I make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, potty breaks, and attention before and after work (I am also more than willing to leave during my lunch if need be!!) I truly treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work weekdays during the day, but I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop in visits, overnight care, and weekend availability. I always make time to give pets attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care so they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, potty routines, walking instructions, and any special care requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I make communication a priority and provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times

“Jessica is amazing! She is punctual and super nice. Scout immediately took a liking to her and she watched Scout on really short notice when his original sitter was sick. She is great!!”

About: Hi there! I grew up in Nebraska on an acreage surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. After years of looking after both dogs and cats, I’ve learned exactly how much attention, comfort, and playtime our furry friends need — and I love being the person who gives it. Along with pet care, I’m a full-time Realtor and also run my own business, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I understand how important it is to have someone responsible in your home while you’re away, whether it’s for work, travel, or anything in between. People who know me would describe me as reliable, easygoing, and genuinely caring. I’m happy to meet beforehand or hop on a quick call so you feel completely comfortable. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and keep your home in great shape, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m excited to meet you and your pets! I am an independent contractor and work for myself so my schedule is a bit more flexible than the average person's schedule. I set my own hours. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether I’m in your home or mine. That means sticking to their feeding schedule, walk times, playtime, and any house rules you set. I keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“Grace took wonderful care of my companions. She was a good communicator.”

“Marin did an INCREDIBLE job watching my dog at my house for a week. If I could give 6 stars I would. She was very communicative, took care of all of my dogs special needs (medication 2x daily and not a big eater), played with my dog, and sent the cutest pictures daily. She met with me before hand to make sure it was a good fit. I had to alter my booking dates and she was very flexible. Thank you Marin!”

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra comfort and attention, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full time in the pet care industry, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! With at least a week’s notice, I’m able to make my schedule flexible to best meet the needs of your pet and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I currently offer care within my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was around 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs and cats while they’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important routines, patience, and attention are for their well being. I am a part time student with a small part time job. I have a lot of free time on weekends and most week days. Having a dog of my own, I am used to balancing animal needs with my schedule. I have am willing to spend the night wile watching you animal. I can also find multiple times in the day to make sure the animal gets plenty of outdoor exercise and attention. I love being outside and taking long drives just like your animals!

About: I have been taking care of three dogs since I moved to the USA in 2021. Previously, I was taking care of a lab and many cats in my home country,Nepal. Last December, my lab had a knee surgery and I was taking care of her, making sure she gets her medication on time and is not jumping around and doing her exercises. I made sure to sleep with her on the main floor so that she won’t have to do stairs and is not hurting her leg at night. I made sure to take her potty using her sling to support. I have experience using different types of pet care equipments. I also take care of my old bind dog. His name is Pete. I make sure that he has his halo on so that he doesn’t bump into things. I keep the dogs water bowl full at all time with clean and fresh water. And feed them on their scheduled basis. I am also active with my dogs, taking them for walks, playing with them, teaching them tricks and basic commands. I am also good at dog grooming. I help keep them healthy with up-to-date vet visits and their monthly vitamins. I currently have a flexible schedule because my classes are online, and I am also looking for a job. Because of this, I have plenty of time to include pet care in my daily routine. I can take care of pets throughout the day, including feeding them, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they are comfortable. I live in a condo where pets are allowed. But I don’t have a fenced yard so I must keep the dogs leashed when taken outside. Also, I don’t have any pets in the condo with me. I am always around to take care of your pets as I don’t go many places.

About: I have a Siberian Husky and we love to travel and go on adventures! I love going on walks and wouldn’t mind having another furry friend to join us! I live in a house with 2 female dogs (my husky and my roommates pitbull) along with one kiddo who also loves animals as well! Prefer to meet and greet in advance if you book your animal to stay at my house. I work full time at a bank most days. I wake up in the mornings to let my dogs out and feed them and then they free roam the house during the day. When I get home at night I feed them again and take them out for walks or to the lake or dog park to run free and have fun with other dogs! I have a small yard that is not fenced in where my dogs get placed on a leash to do their business. They get let out multiple times a day between my roommate and myself. I also have a kennel for if your pet needs it during the day when nobody’s home.

About: Have experience with both cats and dogs through owning and helping through the years. I currently have five cats and three dogs of my own so I am very familiar with feeding schedules, cleanings, playtimes, monitoring behaviors, and making sure everyone feels safe in their own environment. I’m comfortable caring for different pets of different sizes and energy levels, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving them attention and companionship while their owners are away.

About: With years of experience in pet sitting, I've had the privilege of caring for a wide range of pets including horses, dogs, cats, and small animals. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter as an adoption counselor for the past 4 years providing me firsthand experience with many different animals. My hands on experience with different species and breeds have given me a deep understand of their unique needs and behaviors whether it's providing daily exercise, offering companionship, or other forms of enrichment. I tailor my approach to suit each animals individual requirements. I believe in providing regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for by sending daily photos. I understand your pet is not just an animal- They're family. I take pride in making sure your pets well being is my top priority. I recently graduated early and I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets and give them the attention they deserve! You can rely on me to follow instructions carefully, and handle any situation thrown at me professionally. I love taking photos of my clients adorable pets allowing me to provide you with daily updates so you feel reassured your pet is getting the care they deserve. I treat each client's home with respect, maintaining cleanliness and confidentiality while I'm there. I approach pets with patience, particularly shy or anxious ones, and ensure they feel safe and secure in my care. I follow each pet's established routine for feeding, playtime, and rest, reducing stress while their owner is away.
