“Matt has been great walking our dog Ziva. She looks so happy in all the pictures he sends. He's even brought our trash bins back to the house on trash pick up days - so thoughtful! We get great communication with each walk. I definitely recommend him for dog walking!”
“Ella was the absolute best! It takes a special person to make my Akita puppy feel comfortable and Ella did just that. She took care of him as his own and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. I was able to be at ease knowing she was talking care of my puppy carefully. 100% would recommend Ella to anyone and will Ella's services whenever I can. Thank you again Ella 💓”
“Kelly came on a cold and rainy day today to walk our little dog. I asked her just yesterday because something came up suddenly. I was really hoping she’d do it and as usual she said sure! She’s a Godsend. We feel very lucky!”
About: I have returned to school to earn my PhD as an adult in my 30s, which means I have both many years of experience with animals and significant flexibility to help out as your schedule requires. I have spent my whole life around animals - I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog (chow chow), and a multitude of fish; I worked for a stint on a farm as a teenager; and as an adult I have two sweet cats! I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was young, most recently caring for a variety of cats and dogs for friends during work travel, vacations, and weddings. I have experience with cats of all life stages, giving medications, and walking both small and large dogs. I am a PhD student, which means that my schedule is very flexible! (It also means I always welcome study breaks to hang out with your furry friends!) I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including during weekdays and normal business hours. Because I have two cats of my own, I am not able to offer services in my own home at this time. I offer in-home care and dog walking, and am happy to learn from you where your dog most likes to go for walks! I do have a car, and am able to transport pets to walking trails or dog parks if desired, but would only do so with your prior permission.
“Kim is absolutely wonderful, I can’t recommend her enough! She is flexible, conscientious, kind, and really cared about my quirky dog. Her communication and updates are excellent. She is incredibly reliable and I never worried about Daisy for a second while Kim was taking care of her (and I worry about everything). I was always confident that Daisy would be safe and happy, because Kim goes above and beyond to ensure that. When my dog hurt her back a day before a housesitting visit and required meds, Kim was unfazed and helped Daisy make a full recovery. She also takes the best pictures, which were such a treat to get while I was out!”
About: I have taken care of neighbor's cats since I was 12, providing meals, medicine and love. I have had my own dog for 9 years who I also care for. I volunteered at SAVE animal shelter for 3 years taking care of cats. I just graduated high school so I am free this entire summer before I leave for college in the beginning of September 2026. I work at the YMCA on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-7 but am free the rest of the week. I can easily take care of the pet in my clients home. I have experience doing so; cleaning litter boxes, taking care of the house, cleaning up messes, and more. I can water plants or provide any other house services while the owners are away.
About: Hi! My name is Jane. I'm a 26-year-old master's student at USM with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up surrounded by Newfoundlands and cats, and I've been pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and clients for many years. I'm responsible, experienced, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets-whether it's walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I'd love the chance to care for your dog like one of my own! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that varies with each semester, allowing me to adjust my availability to fit pet care needs. I’m reliable and prompt, and I make pet sitting a priority by incorporating it thoughtfully into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or playtime, I ensure your pet receives consistent attention and care regardless of my other commitments. When caring for pets, I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where your pet can feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of attention, regular feeding, exercise, and playtime tailored to their needs. For care in your home, I follow your pet’s usual routine closely, respecting their habits and preferences to ensure minimal disruption. I prioritize your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness every step of the way.
About: Growing up with dogs, I've always been comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I'm active, reliable, and enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog is different, so will work with you to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm committed to being dependable, communicative, and attentive, giving owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me four full days off with plenty of flexibility to care for pets. On my days off, I have the time and energy to provide attentive care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their safety, ensure they have plenty of exercise, fresh water, and affection, and make sure they are always secure during walks and outdoor activities. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide frequent updates and photos throughout my visits. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing - I love sharing pictures and keeping owners informed so they can feel confident their dog is happy, safe, and having a great time.
About: I deeply enjoy caring for dogs as I grew up with them throughout my childhood! Neighbors and family frequently confide in me to care for their pets, and I currently care for a guinea pig. I’m home from college and I have plenty of time and wide availability to take care of your pets. I have no problem fitting them into my daily schedule. I make sure pets receive what they need from my service, whether that be food, play, treats or outdoor time. I make sure they get the attention and love they deserve.
About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.
About: I have taken care of my own and friends dogs for many years. They trust me to take care of them. I love dogs and cats. I work from home most of the time but I can be available after 5pm amd if it close to me I can take lunch break. I can take of your dog in your house, I can’t take care at home because I have a rescue dog, he is in social training.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I often was responsible for watching, feeding, walking, and bathing my dogs. I also would care for other people’s dogs and stop in for a short while or to watch a home and care for a dog or two. I love animals in all shapes and sizes and would love to care for your furry friend(s)! I’m currently unemployed which makes me extremely flexible! I am looking to find full time work but the summer is a hard time to do so. I am also looking to become more active and what better way than with dogs! I live in apartment living with my boyfriend who works from home. I walk my beagle Strawberry several times a day. Strawberry is on a very tight schedule when it comes to food and walks which allows me to use time management. In your home I’d like to behave and treat your dogs just as you do. I think it’s very important to know the schedule which needs to be kept.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
We couldn't be happier with Mr. Hong! He kindly stopped by to meet our dog, Sengay, before the booked dates to make sure it was a good fit, and they instantly connected. He gave us complete peace of mind by sending wonderful pictures while they were out walking and after getting Sengay safely back inside. I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Princeton on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Princeton.

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
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
