“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!”
“Kelly is the best. She’s so positive and reliable. I’m so relaxed at work knowing Kelly will be coming to get my little dog and take him for a nice walk. She’s also very accommodating when I need to make new requests.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around animals my entire life. As a teenager, I worked at a local dog kennel where I walked dogs, cleaned kennels, assisted the groomer, and helped care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also owned both indoor and outdoor cats and understand that every cat has its own routine and personality. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, providing walks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, medications when needed, and plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ll treat them as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos after every visit. I currently have daytime and evening availability and can be flexible to meet your pet’s routine. As a mom of two middle school boys, I’m organized and dependable, and I plan my schedule around my family’s activities. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, dinner, playtime, or a check-in while you’re away, I’ll arrive on time and provide the care and attention they deserve. I provide care in your home, where your pets are most comfortable and can stay on their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications, or litter box cleaning. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. You’ll always receive updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Brianna was very kind to my dogs and made sure I came home to no accidents! With the warm weather we’ve been having she was kind enough to modify our walking routine to make sure the dogs were comfortable, has followed typical feeding schedules, and adjusted to my youngest dog’s needs through his medical issues. I am happy to recommend her as a reliable pet sitter for anyone in need”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine! As of right now, I am only able to provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay where they’re most comfortable, but also to ensure that my own cats, who are nervous around other pets, remain comfortable. When caring for your pet, I treat both your home and your baby with the same respect and attention I do my own. I carefully following feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe while you’re away. Safety really is my number one priority. I’ll make sure doors, gates, windows, and any other areas are secure. I’ll be sure to keep your pet in approved areas, look out for any changes in behavior or health, and send lots and lots of pictures and videos!
About: With over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I offer dedicated and loving service tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m skilled in walks, feeding schedules, interactive playtime, litter maintenance, and giving medication when required. I currently share my home with my friendly indoor cat, and I’m experienced managing multi-pet households with safe separations and introductions as needed. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, weekends, or extended stays, your pets will receive attentive, personalized care in a comfortable environment. Available for flexible scheduling. Your pets are in great hands! I’m currently enrolled in a Summer Intensive program for Princeton’s Ballet School but I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available everyday mostly in the afternoon, after 4. Weekends all day. I provide a safe, loving home environment. And could provide regular walks, playtime, proper feeding and grooming. Always attentive to each pet’s unique needs and preferences.
About: I'm a very caring animal lover and have been house and dog sitting for years. I've had my dog since she was a puppy so I have the experience to care for dogs of all ages. My dog is extremely active so I dont have any problem keeping up with pets of any activity level. I've been to training with my dog and am able to use the skills I've learned with my dog to any pet. I've dog sat for multiple dogs at once with different health issues and dietary restrictions. I'm very meticulous when it comes to your pet's health including medication regimens and special dietary needs. I treat all animals as if they were my own. My main goal while caring for your pet is to keep your pet safe, happy and healthy. I work Mon-Fri 9-5pm so I only pet sit on the weekends to ensure your furry baby gets all the walks, playtime and attention they deserve. My goal is to provide your pet with the same enviroment they would recieve at home. We are away from main roads and have access to a fenced dog park.
“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!”
“Joshua is excellent. He surpassed all our expectations. He was wonderful with the girls and with their parents. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Denise”
“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 💓”
“Patrick did an awesome job with our pups, Isabella and Chance, today on their walk! They loved him so much they didn't want him to leave. Will definitely be booking again after the holidays. Thank you Patrick!”
“On very short notice, Boryana was able to step in, take the time to meet me and Yoda before walking and feeding Yoda. She was fantastic! I would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”

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

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.

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.

- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
