“It is my first time using Rover and I had a very positive experience working with Catrina. I was traveling abroad to a different time zone and she was able to work around the time difference the first few visits to ensure I was awake during her visits. My cats are not used to having many visitors and one especially gets scared very easily, but they both seemed to quickly warm up to Catrina within a few days. She was consistent with her visits, sending me updates and pictures daily. I was quickly at ease during my travels because I knew the cats were well taken care of. All of my notes and instructions were followed and Catrina communicated well if anything popped up. I was very happy coming home to happy kittens and definitely want to book with her again for any future trips.”
“Ami and James were lifesavers and did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. We really appreciated all their help and communication while we were gone, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for some pet care.”
“Shifali was great with my cat Felix! She did drop-in visits with him while I was out of town for a week, and she made sure he had fresh water, a clean litterbox, and lots of attention in the form of playtime and cuddles, which I greatly appreciated. Felix absolutely hates car rides, but is also a very affectionate cat, so it was great to not have to take him somewhere to board him, but have someone come to my place where Felix could still be around all his things. Shifali sent me lots of photos with her daily updates, and I can tell Felix enjoyed his time with her.”
About: I provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. As a lifelong animal lover, I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including energetic puppies and pets who need a gentler approach. I’ll treat your pets like family while keeping you updated so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for. As a graduate student at Princeton Theological Seminary, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In your home, I’ll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household rules. I’ll provide attentive care, keep your home secure, and send regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved.
“Bhali was so helpful and caring with our two dogs. They were well taken care of and very happy to go on walks with her. She catered to their needs and we appreciated the punctual check-ins with detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much Bhali!”
“Jeymy took great care of Nina for four days! She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was also very flexible with check-in and check-out, which I really appreciated. Nina was well cared for, and everything went smoothly. I’m very thankful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”
About: ACCEPTING SAME DAY/ SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS Hello!! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))
“This was the first time using Rover and Yasmine made it so easy for us! She kept us updated sending cute pics of our cat Oreo. We had to pick him up earlier than scheduled and Yasmine didn’t have a problem with that. She’s super kind with animals, if we need someone to take care for our cat again we definitely gonna go back to her, thanks again Yasmine!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!
About: I’m that friend who always volunteers to watch the dog — because I genuinely love it. I grew up with three dogs, helped my sister with her pups, and even lived with a roommate who ran a doggy daycare. I miss having furry energy around, so I’m here to give yours all the love, walks, and playtime they need! I currently work remote and am free most weeknights and weekends, so I have the flexibility during my lunch break or the ability to spend some time with the pup on a weekend. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to any special quirks or care details that make your pup feel safe and happy. I take time to bond with each dog so they feel comfortable with me while you’re away. Whether that means playtime in the yard, cozy cuddle sessions, or just quiet companionship, I adjust to what your pet needs. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your dog!), and always make sure things are left as I found them. Because I’ve lived with and cared for dogs in all kinds of homes — including helping with a former roommate’s doggy daycare — I know how to be a calm, trustworthy presence in your dog’s environment. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for.
About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either. I'm currently a college student doing online classes so I have plenty of time to drop by a clients house or to have them come to mine. Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them
“Sharyn was so great with our cats. It's my first time using this app and she was helpful from day one. We went on a 7 day vacation and she came to feed the kitties everyday. She spent an hour with us so that we could show her where everything for the kitties was. Everyday we received pictures from her and she was very sweet with our cats. Such a sweet lady, she's hired for our next trip. ❤️”
About: I’ve been around many types of animals all my life including exotic, farm animals, and house pets like cats and dogs. I love them all equally and would be happy to care for any pet! I currently work full time but typically have 3 days off a week. I will be going back to school in the fall but will still have availability. While I cannot currently look after pets in my own home, I am happy to accommodate most needs for any animal in their own home.
“From the time Linda did the meet and greet to the actual visits, all 3 of our pugs sucked right up to her as they could tell she truly is an animal lover. She did a great job with them and we couldn't be more pleased with the job she did. We would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again! Thank You Linda!”
“Naomi was amazing! She looked after my kitten while I was away for a week and it felt so nice knowing my Moki was so well cared for! Also pretty sure my place looked cleaner when I came back than when I left it lol Highly recommend!”
About: I currently am doing cat sitting full-time, so am available any days/times throughout the week, including weekends. My calendar is updated based on my availability (dates blocked out when I am traveling). In clients' homes, I follow all instructions given by the client. This includes feeding, water refresh, a text update with at least 1 photo and playtime (with belly rubs if allowed!). I also am experienced with giving insulin/medicinal injections, along with oral medications, ear drops and eye drops. I am a hopeless cat lover - I miss them when I'm away and love them with hugs and kisses while there! I understand (and just adore) that each cat has its own personality and needs to be cared for individually. I adjust my play and interactions with each cat as needed. I'm comfortable learning about new cats and how to deal with each personality type. Being the cat lover I am, I would love to give you peace of mind while you need to be away from your kitties. I would require a meet and greet as I believe this is needed to truly give the best service to your cats. If you think I would be a good fit, please place a reservation request. I would love to meet other cat lovers and their cats!
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I love all animals I always have. I'm a very sensitive soul and I really feel their energy. They seem to love me as well. I've always treated all of my fur babies as just that, part of the family like a very important part! So when I care for your pet rest assured they will have a luxury experience and pretty much run the show. I let them decide where and when to walk and go outside and play and eat, all within your guidelines, of course. I would be honored if u would allow me to care for your amazing fur baby or babies🐾💖 I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your fur babies. My schedule can be flexible so please reach out to see if we could be a good fit I am extremely flexible and can customize care to fit you and your pets specific needs and make sure your pets are comfortable and feel at home.
“We were extremely pleased with the service Samantha provided when she stayed at my mother’s house and took care of her arthritic 13 year old cat. She immediately had a good rapport with my mom’s cat, sent us pictures, updated us, and even brushed her cat. She came over in the middle of the day to feed her too. She was available and responded in a timely fashion when we needed to extend the job. She even reached out to us to make sure my mother had a key when she returned. She left the house looking exactly the way my mom left it. We couldn’t even tell anyone had stayed there. She even got rid of some dead flowers that were in a bouquet on the table and left the good ones. We highly recommend Samantha for your house sitting and pet sitting needs.”
About: Hi! I'm Susanna, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets. While my full-time career has always been in customer service, animals have always been my true passion. I worked part-time at Monster Pets, where I learned about animal care and the importance of meeting each pet's individual needs. I also volunteered with the PSPCA, helping care for animals and giving them the attention, patience, and compassion they deserve. I know every pet has their own unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, I'll treat your furry family member like one of my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, but I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel. I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and routines. I take the time to build trust with every pet, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.I also have two cats and cared for a rescued parakeet for over 10 years, so I understand the responsibility and love that goes into caring for animals.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
I’m glad I was able to book Nicholas again! He was very observant and gave detailed reports about my cat, and made sure to go find him when he didn’t come downstairs to say hi. My cat can be a little shy at first but he warmed up to Nicholas right away! Will definitely rebook next time I’m traveling.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Princeton is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $42 per visit. On Rover, 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 sitter.
