“We had a wonderful experience with Chandar. He took such great care of our furry family member and made sure our dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved. He was reliable, caring, and attentive, and kept us updated throughout, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear he genuinely loves animals and treats them like his own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets. We will definitely book with him again!”
“I can't say enough good things about Dipali & Sunny! They took such wonderful care of my Momo and made the entire process stress-free. From the moment I dropped Momo off, I could tell they genuinely cared about my dog’s happiness and well-being. Momo came home happy, healthy, and even a little spoiled! Dipali kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm personality made all the difference. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do, look no further. I highly recommend Dipali & Sunny and will definitely be using their services again!”
About: At 12, I began walking Frankie the Doberman. She was a traumatized, recent rescue. During my time with her, she learned how to sit, stay, heel, lay down, and roll over. More importantly, she became sociable and affectionate. Since then, I've had numerous dog-walking and sitting experiences, particularly in college. I feel comfortable with dogs of all sizes and types, including large and exuberant dogs (thanks to my 110 lbs chocolate lab), puppies, shy dogs, inexperienced walkers, and mouthy dogs. Long story short, I love animals and enjoy taking on training challenges. I have a flexible schedule. My daily exercise takes the form of long walks, which dogs are great companions on! I am used to traveling around town with dogs and understand how to handle them indoors- in busy places and in their own homes. I am regularly trusted with the personal spaces of my clients. When I dog-sat in college, I regularly stayed overnight in clients' homes, studied in their living rooms, and was invited into professors' offices to dog-sit while they lectured. Dogs often feel most comfortable in their own homes, and I understand that it is necessary to replicate their home environments wherever they go, whether that means bringing their favorite toy on walks or using the specific commands they've been trained with.
“Tanvi and her family are so loving and caring towards Chestnut. We love seeing the videos and photos she sends. He has a great time with their Shih-Tzu Happy. Thank you!”
“We had our two dogs stay with Mr. Tao and family for more than a week. We could not be more pleased and thankful to Mr. Tao for taking the best care for Barney and Scooby. Mr. Tao was super accommodating to our schedule and our long list of instruction for feeding etc. He kept us updated and smiling on our vacation by sending us regular daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs loved staying with Mr. Tao and his family (including Riley of course). They were totally stress free when we picked them up after their stay. We could not ask for a better family to leave our dogs with. A big thank you to Mr. Tao and his family!!”
“Kristen was wonderful! You can tell right off the bat how much she loves and knows dogs. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She’s extremely responsive and sends pics and videos. My dog had a lot of fun playing with her dog Cashew and her adorable son. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kristen in the future!”
“Megan is amazing! She took really good of Chewie and even gave him a good wash for me when his fur got a little dirty. She provided me pictures of his stay and kept me up to date of how he was doing. Chewie felt right at home and was able to adapt well. One of the main things that really impressed me was she was able to have Chewie start going outside to potty more. Now at home, Chewie goes outside and has less accidents in the house. Book with Megan, she will love your pup!”
“Toby had a thoroughly enjoyable experience with Sonia and the family , and i will definitely recommend Sonia highly and will definitely leave Toby with her on any further trips. sonia was very prompt on sending us daily updates on toby and we were very comfortable with the environment he was in.”
“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”
“Savi was and is the best dog-sitter we have had in the 10 years of having Toby. She not only kept us frequently updated without asking but treated Toby like family. He came back looking excited and happy - you can’t ask for anything better than Savi!”
“I could have a trip for a week without worry because John & Mary cared my dog. John is so kind and loves pets as much as his own. I really appreciate them for kindness and their love.”

“We had such a great experience leaving Bruno in Raj’s care for the night! From the start, him and his wife were incredibly communicative in sending us regular updates, pictures, and even videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup was having a blast and being very well taken care of. Their dog Kaju was great company for our dog Bruno. They were also extremely knowledgeable about dogs and handled everything with confidence and care.. Bruno got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Raj again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“Can’t say enough about how great Debbi was with Buddy. Debbi’s warmth and love for animals was apparent from our first meeting. While we were away Debbi sent updates and pictures which was awesome! Do not have any hesitation in asking her to look after your pets. She is great!”
“Carly and her family were attentive foster parents for our two higher-maintenance rescue pups. Easy initial meeting, great home with expansive backyard for the dogs to play, friendly family dog. Responsive to messages and shared great photos while we were away. Will use them again!”
“Saloni did an amazing job giving Krug a home for a week! He was very well taken care of and she sent pictures and videos every day to show how he was doing. Your pet will be in good hands with her!”
“Kyla took care of Leo on short notice and kept in touch with updates while we were away. Leo seemed very happy and relaxed the whole time. We really appreciated her communication and care!”
“Sam is truly was an angel on earth when we left our mini golden doodle Veer with her for 4 days. She was so loving and took care of Veer like her own. She asked questions, which eased our tensions, and sent us daily pictures of Veer doing a new kind of activity. Her daughter is so adorable and lovely and played with veer so well as well. We couldn’t have found a better person to take care of Veer and we will DEFINITELY be rebooking sam in the future. If I could give her 100 stars, even that would not be enough! <3”

Macauley was absolutely the best! Our pet was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for with her. It was clear from the moment we met that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. We came back to a happy, relaxed, and well-loved pet, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family member!
I highly recommend Darin and McKenna as pet sitter! Our two dogs just spent a week at their place, and it truly felt like they were on their own luxury vacation. From the start, Darin and McKenna were incredibly attentive to every detail and specific need our pups had. They didn’t just "watch" our dogs; they genuinely befriended them and invested a lot of personalized time and affection into making them feel at home. What impressed us most was their dedication during a particularly tough week of heavy snow. Despite the weather challenges, they remained completely unfazed and stayed "up to the task," ensuring our dogs were safe, pampered, and happy throughout the storms. If you are looking for sitters who are responsible, caring, and go the extra mile, Darin and McKenna are the best choice. Our dogs can’t wait to go back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Princeton is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $81 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,954 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Princeton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Princeton home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 NJ 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.
