About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
“Jacquelyn was great. She obviously loves dogs (what I needed her for) and my Georgia loved her. She followed all instructions and the walk turned out to be a great success. I recommend using her for your needs.”
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’ve been near pets basically my entire life. They’re more like family to me. Enjoy taking them on outdoor walks, play with them, and have a connection. On another note, I’m latina, so if your pet only understands spanish, I got it covered. I currently have three dogs and have them on a routine. I will keep the same routine. However, feel free to submit any instructions and will accomodate accordingly. I keep my dogs on a routine, so I try to do the same with others. I like to make them feel comfortable, safe and at home. It is key they can be themselves.
About: I am a full time pharmacist with a unique overnight schedule. I love all animals so I am looking for some jobs on the side caring for animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas and parakeets. I work third shift 7 days on and 7 days off so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I can make any schedule work. I have a non social bulldog so I am able to care for a cat or dog in your own home and could care for a smaller caged animal in my own.
About: I have cared for my own dogs and cats for years, but no longer have one of my own. Let me care for yours when you need me. I am recently retired from full time work, so my schedule is flexible to help care for your pets when you can’t. Pets come first for me. Pets do much better in their own home. Dogs and cats are comforted when they are with someone who is focused on giving attention and love that they need, on a schedule they are accustomed to.
About: I am a dedicated petsitter who provides excellent services to your furry friend. I pay attention to detail in their behavior, health, and even the routines. As you choose my services, you can trust that your furry companion will receive the love and attention they deserve and that you'll always be in the loop about their care. I currently have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur baby. I do take same-day visits, however, please note I will not always be available due to my work schedule. Rest assured the fur baby will always be played with and snuggled from time to time. Do let me know if they have a restricted schedule. I normally help with refreshing my clients dogs water bowl at every meal, take them out to use the restroom, and play with them. If there are set guidelines, a printed form of the steps would be highly suggested. In addition, you always will be communicated.
About: I have always loved animals and aspired to be a veterinarian. I will genuinely care for your dogs and treat them as if they were my own. I am a full time school psychologist with a husband and two young children. I will be available to care for pets on weekends and evenings. If close enough to my work, I can let dogs out on my lunch break. I have a fenced yard with two dogs. A lab and golden retriever mix and a bichon/maltese. I also have two cats. We have structured feeding and time outside for the dogs. The cats are indoor and regularly have food out and balance their feeding over time. I can also do basic grooming.
About: I provide dependable, personalized care with the added benefit of pre-veterinary experience, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I'm a recent college graduate available full-time for the summer! I'd love to hang out with your beloved, four-legged friends during the week and/or weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets feel secure through patience, positive interaction, and plenty of supervision, while always respecting the client’s home and keeping communication open with regular updates and photos.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
Mary has been walking our dogs now for almost 2 years. I don’t trust my dogs with a lot of people but watching how excited they get when she comes in. Even my anti-social dog loves her. She always lets us know if something out of the ordinary happens, or even when all 4 dogs behave beautifully. I wouldn’t trade her for the world!

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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
