“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I’ve cared for many types of animals of different shapes and sizes in various animal shelter, grooming, and veterinary settings. From pets, to livestock, and exotic reptiles. I’m currently a veterinary technician student as well. Your Companion deserves Time, Love, and Care and my purpose in life is to provide them that. I’m very passionate about this line of work. As a current full time Remote Veterinary student, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available 5 days week in the mornings and afternoons. When I care for your pet in your home my routine is to treat them like family and your home like a sacred space. I am more than willing to respect all boundaries put in place in order to do my job properly. I am a helicopter pet parent so your little guy or gal is safe with me.
“Gronk is typically an anxious pup who takes time to warm up to new people, but has quickly become a fan of Oli. Oli has been a great communicator, reliable, and great with Gronk's quirks. We are so thankful for Oli's help with Gronk as we are adapting to having a newborn at home.”
“Edina was communicative and considerate when watching my two cats over the holiday. I appreciated the quick messages and pics which let me know my kids were important to the sitter. As a pet parent with a special need for oral meds to be administered around feedings, I know my cat is not the easiest job. I would most definitely hire Edina again in the future.”
“Cora is fantastic! She took great care of our two cats in our home. She gave us thorough updates and lots of photos. Came home after three weeks to happy cats and everything tidy. Definitely recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of my family dog for 6 years, and I also was entrusted with my friends and family's dogs since I was 9. Currently, I am doing volunteer work and shadowing physicians as I am home for the summer from college. I am available majority of the week and weekends. I make sure to let our animals have their separate spaces for when they are in need of a rest. They also have fulltime access to food and water, and I have a fenced in yard with enough room to run around. In a client's home I will make sure your pet has food, water, and a clean place to go to the bathroom. I will ensure they are mentally stimulated with plenty of play time and cuddle time.
“Jeffrey has been a great sitter. He is always on time, excited to see my dog Ducky, and leaves detailed reports of how the visit went - would definitely recommend!”
“Julie is the best! She took fabulous care of my two cats.. one of which has a medical condition, so I am always hesitant to leave her. But, the daily updates and photos reassured me that she was in exceptional care and healthy while we where away. Thank you so much Julie!!! I highly recommend Julie for your pet care.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
“I recently moved to Ohio and needed to find a new pet sitter. This process has always been so stressful, needing a person my pets liked and I trusted. I lucked out when I found Cheryl! She is a true animal lover who is professional, trustworthy and genuinely kind. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have owned pets for 18 years. I currently have 2 dogs- Lenny (golden retriever, 9 yrs old) and Pepsi (mini schnauzer, 7). I absolutely love dogs/other pets and can’t remember a life without them! Aside from walking, feeding, training, bathing, and playing with my own pups, I also have some experience sitting for others. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, well-tempered and naughtier dogs, so if your pup isn’t the most well-behaved, it won’t scare me off! I’d love to help you out. ☺️ My part-time job allows me a flexible schedule, so I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11 AM - 10 PM to drop in and check on your pet or walk them! I can also stop by between 7 and 10 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, if needed. I am comfortable walking big dogs and small dogs (a harness for heavy pullers is ideal, but not required). I will make sure they stay well-hydrated, happy, and cool. Crating should not be a problem as long as there are treats, but please let me know your dog’s specific needs and I will adapt to them!
“Constance has watched our boys before but this time was different. We were in the process of moving when I was told to go on a trip for work. We had emptied our apartment but didn’t want to put our cats in an unfamiliar environment (a new house) and then leave them. So the cats stayed in the apartment and Constance came to check on them. One of our cats became so stressed out by the change to his home that he was a completely different animal. Constance sent me constant updates and (because she works with our vet) she saw the signs of distress and assisted us in getting him anxiety medication until we could get home. Invaluable connection to have if you’re leaving your cats for any period of time. She knows cats and is very helpful in easing my mind when we’re away.”
About: I have had dogs all my life, and absolutely love them. I have worked with every breed, and age. I am dedicated to work with you and your animal on giving them the best experience I possibly can!! I am currently working part-time 7-4 Monday- Friday! Weekends I am completely free, and when I am not working I am available to care for your pet! In your home, I will constantly keep an eye on the animal to make sure that they are safe and comfortable. I am very patient, and can work with your animal if they are having any sort of issue. I am able to stay as long or as little as the animal feels comfortable, and would love to walk, play, or just sit with your animal!
“Callie was great with communication and solved a problem with a food mixup to make sure our dogs were taken care of. She is definitely someone I recommend for drop in support. Thanks Callie!”
“Michelle was amazing with my 2 dogs! My one dog has very high anxiety and Michelle was so good with her! My dog warmed up to her so fast and was comfortable with her way more quickly than most people that meet her. My animals (and me) are pretty high maintenance, but I felt like Michelle listened to all my instructions and asked all the right questions. She is great with communication and I had no concerns when she was caring for my babies. I will definitely be asking for her to help again in the future!”
About: I have cared for animals of all varieties, worked as a companion animal department manager at Petco and have degrees in wildlife conservation and genetics. Growing up I mainly had cats and dogs, but I’ve expanded my pet collection. I understand that each pet has unique needs and personalities and I will do my best to make them happy. I currently work part time and I have a 7 year old son who keeps me busy. I will make time to care for your fur baby. The safety of your pets is my top priority. I will ensure that they are receiving the correct nutrition and be aware of any food allergies. I will keep your pets at a safe distance from wildlife and unknown pets. I will follow the instructions given to me by the pet owner.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was little. I currently have two spoiled dogs of my own who I love to take for long walks. Your pets will be a high priority and I will make sure to send videos and pictures of our fun adventures. Whatever your pet enjoys to do I will make sure to accomplish that. Whether it is long walks in the neighborhood or park, staying home and playing fetch in the yard, or maybe just a good belly scratch and having someone to hang out with. If your okay with your pet being spoiled with treats and love then I am the perfect person for you. Whatever your dog needs, I am here to help.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
I just met Scott for the first time today. There was a possibility I would have to go out of town to the hospital in the next day or two. I have one cat sitter but I need additional one. I immediately felt at ease with him. He carried some heavy cat litter down my steps into my basement and did the litter boxes. He's very kind and although my cats really didn't meet him today I feel very comfortable in leaving him his care.
I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻
We’ve used Cora three times now for our cats Dash and Daisy, and she is absolutely exceptional. Dash has a serious heart condition requiring three medications twice daily — not a simple task — and Cora handles it with total confidence and care. She spends a genuine 30 minutes each visit, giving them real attention, not just a quick check-in. She even noticed it was trash day and took care of it without being asked, and grabbed our newspaper too. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. We will 100% keep using Cora and recommend her without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Princeton on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,334 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

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.
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 sitter.
