About: Hi, I’m Elena! I’m a recent Princeton grad moving back to Philly and hoping to fill my life with as much quality pet time as I pursue a career in arts administration! I grew up with a fluffy orange scaredy cat and an anxious dog with some leash aggression, trained on positive reinforcement, so I know how to handle pets with different personalities and needs. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I'm pretty wide open! Because I'm currently applying for work, I have effectively no commitments and can be available when needed and with little warning. I follow positive reinforcement training methodology but know how to work around treat access or different styles. You know your animal better than anyone, and so I will defer to you on what your pet needs!
About: Animal lover, with a passion for pet care. Been working in the pet industry for sometime now, and also work as a volunteer for a local non-profit in Lambertville, NJ. Daily walks, and quality time with your pet(s) are non-negotiable. I can also administer medication if needed. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet(s) as if they were my own, look no further! I guarantee that you and your pet will be so happy, that you’ll never have to search for another sitter. I am happy to offer a consultation free of charge (of course) to make sure we are a fit. I pride myself in making my pup my number one priority, and would ALWAYS want to make sure that both you and your pet(s) feel comfortable with what I have to offer.
“Abigail is amazing!!! Always on time and treats your animal the best. She is very nice and listens to your request. Book her whenever you can. You will not regret it.”
“Boryana was wonderful with my dog! She came for a meet & greet to go over everything. During the visit she took such great care of him & sent me photos and updates. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
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.
“Abigail was absolutely wonderful! She arrived exactly as discussed and immediately gave us peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. I especially appreciated that she has experience with Chihuahuas and understands their little quirks and specific needs. She knew that Chihuahuas typically aren’t fans of the rain, so she actually planned ahead and made sure to come before the rain started so he could get his walk in comfortably. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to us! She even went above and beyond by bringing in our Amazon packages that were delivered while we were away. It’s those little extra touches that make such a difference. Abigail is reliable, attentive, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily use her again! 🐾❤️”
About: Hello all! I have previous experience caring for a hamster and am currently the proud owner of an American Pit Bull Terrier. I’m passionate about training, grooming, and overall animal care, and I’m always refining my skills. I work in healthcare and fitness, so I’m active, hands-on, and detail-oriented. My strong work ethic, communication skills, and personable nature allow me to build great relationships with both people and their furry friends! I have open and flexible weekend availability, and I’m available most weekday evenings as well. I also enjoy working early morning shifts and am happy to accommodate those when needed. I love outdoor walks and playtime—I have stamina for days! I’m also comfortable handling grooming, as I do all of my own pet’s grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and always want pets to feel comfortable, enriched, well-rested, fed, and, most importantly, loved.
“Highly recommend Yaqin. She's fantastic with my doggos! She communicates well and kept me updated with photos and notes on how the walk went. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. Couldn't ask for a more reliable, trustworthy dog walker!”
About: We have had pets since the day we were born, and have a sweet Samoyed of our own now! We have been doing dog sitting, boarding, and walking for the past 5 years professionally! We love every minute of teaching your dog new tricks, taking them places to explore, and taking the best pet photos to send to you! We are usually always home as our jobs can be remote. We like to take our dog and others with us on adventures, walks, and car rides! Our lives are flexible to fit a furry friend in! We use leashes outside for walks, keep gates in front of our doors, and spend majority of our time with your fur babies to make sure they are always safe, happy, and healthy!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds since I was a teen. I have also house sat for a few barn animals and dogs. I currently work part-time, in 3 to 4 hour increments. Usually a max of 2-3 days a week. This allows me to be home full-time, and available for walks or drop-in visits. When in your home I try my best to stick to your furry friends usual routine, whether that's a walk around your neighborhood, the dog park, or just play time in the yard. You can always expect daily pictures I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, which helps minimize their stress while you’re away. Services offered: Pet/Home Sitting (My most popular service) includes staying overnight with your furry friend so that they have company and comfort while your away, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours at a minimum, for potty breaks, walks, or just cuddles and play! 30 Minute Walks include a stroll around your neighborhood or nearby trail to make sure your pup has the mental simulation and exercise they need for the day. 30 Minute Drop Ins include potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and of course feeding to keep your furry friend comfortable and happy in their home.

About: Craft an engaging "About Me" Tell pet owners about the love and care you’ll provide for their pets. Don’t be afraid to brag about your pet care experience, special skills, your personal qualities, and how you will keep their pets happy and safe. What sorts of activities will a dog enjoy on a stay with you? Where will you go on walks? What fun activities will you do together? What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences? Do you know dog first aid and/or CPR? Yes No Can you administer oral medication to dogs? Yes No Can you administer injected medication to dogs? Yes No Do you have experience taking care of senior dogs? Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I’m organized, reliable, and attentive to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. In a client’s home, I respect and follow each owner’s routines, feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special instructions to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I am mindful of their behavior, body language, and safety during walks and visits, and I always ensure pets have fresh water, supervision, affection, and a clean environment. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I provide updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, supported, and confident in the care being provided.
About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals and have experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve helped walk and play with my aunt’s dog and make sure he’s safe and comfortable. I also used to cat sit when I was younger, where I fed, played with, and cared for the cat. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I always make sure they are well cared for and comfortable while their owner is away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I make time for it around my other commitments. I have gymnastics training Mon, Wed, and Fri from 8am-12pm, and Tues and Thurs from 12pm-4pm. I am away on weekends, so I am only available during weekdays outside of those practice times. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, so I can make sure pets still receive reliable and consistent care during my available hours. When walking dogs, I’m focused on safety and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I keep dogs secure on leash and stay alert during walks. I also pay attention to each dog’s behavior to make sure they are comfortable and have a positive experience.
About: I am an active individual with over 10 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I have a small 11.5 year old Yorkie who loves other dogs and invites them happily into our home. We also have a mixed breed dog who is about 1.5 years old. She is a big ball of energy and love! We have a lot of experience with providing senior dogs with a comfortable and extra loving home. I have puppy experience as well! We live on a beautiful property with 4 acres of land. While our yard is not fenced, we sit back from the road and I have taken my friend's dogs out on leash in our yard with no problems. It's a big yard with lots of exploring opportunities. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks at the preserve in our town! My husband and I take care of our Yorkie daily. On the days I have provided availability, I am home for the day/night. This allows me the time to care for another dog with our Yorkie. In the summertime, I plan to have weekday availability as I am a teacher and will be on summer break. I have a beautiful piece of property that while not fenced, sits back from the road and is great for a good walk through the grass on leash. I also love going for walks at our local preserve and live on a road that is pretty quiet that I frequently walk my dog on. I am always happy to stop in for a drop in visit while you are away for the day and need care for your pet. I am happy to crate your dog if needed.

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
I had a fantastic experience with Bhali. She was incredibly warm and patient with Charlie from the very first moment. She took the time to make sure he felt completely comfortable, and it really showed—Charlie was relaxed, happy, and excited after their walk. It’s clear that Bali truly cares about the dogs she works with. I felt totally at ease knowing Charlie was in such kind and capable hands. Highly recommend Bali!

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.

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.
