About: Hi, this is Connie! I literally grew up with dogs and have 13+ years of experience caring for them. Not only do I treat pets like family, but I firmly believe they are family. I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and cater to each one. Your pup will feel loved, safe, and happy with me. I’m a freelancer, currently working from home in Princeton, NJ. Pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine, no matter the time of day! Whether your dog needs a midday potty break or an afternoon play session, I’m always available and flexible. I’ll treat your furry friend’s schedule like my own priority. Safety always comes first for me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure, just like at home. When I'm at your place, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. When your pup stays with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe, and fun place. No messy surprises, no rushing, just genuine love, patience, and a little wagging-tail guarantee.

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

About: Experienced with both large and small dogs, as well as senior dogs. My last dog was a husky, so I’m no stranger to dogs with high exercise needs as well! Looking forward to helping your family (both furry and otherwise!) this summer. General Availability: I currently work part time (and completely remotely!) Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I can be very flexible to meet your needs Thursday-Sunday, and am available for early morning and/or late evening walks/drop-ins Monday-Wednesday. I am comfortable spending the night in your home and will work from home for house-sitting requests. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home, but am happy to feed, walk, play with, or just keep an eye on your pet in your home.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have experience raising both cats and dogs. Our family cat was rescued from the streets as a kitten, and I raised our dog from puppyhood, including training with him at Heavenly Hounds. Since 2025, I’ve also volunteered at SAVE Animal Shelter, where I walk and play with dogs and spend time caring for cats by playing with them, reading to them, and cleaning their cages. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to take the time to understand what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to water plants and clean up any accidents along the way. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m currently completing my master’s degree online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with timing to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pet. At my home, I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live in a large, pet-friendly community with plenty of space to walk and explore. It’s a great environment for dogs to get both physical exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and supervised. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your rules, routines, and preferences. I’ll make sure to ask thorough questions ahead of time so I understand your pet’s needs, your home, and anything important I should know. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they and your home are in good hands.

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: Hello! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))

Kim is extremely reliable, and always a bright spot in Freddie’s day! She accommodated him when he wanted to walk farther, shortened up the distance when he wasn’t so eager to walk, and even would carry him around, knowing that was what he wanted. I highly recommend Kim!

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.

About: Sorry due to rover taking a 20% fee now, I have to raise my prices. It was 10% before. I love animals, I’ve owned animals my whole life, I have two pet bunnies. (They live in my garage, not house, other animals don't have access) I also own a beagle, he’s 12 . He’s very friendly and loves other dogs, specially people, he's friendly with cats. I volunteer at animal shelters and I'm going for my vet technician degree. . I take my dog out in the morning for a walk, he gets many walks through out the day, I have a flexible job where I chose my own hours / schedule but during those hours I choose I'm on call and might have to leave, usually always have one other person home but if your dog cannot be left alone I can fix my work schedule to work with you. I will love your pet like my own until you come back home. If your pet is staying at my house, we have a big back yard that has a lead for your dog, also a nice quiet street I live on for walks. my dog will be around your pet so please also have a friendly pet. Besides that, daily feeding, daily pets&love, brushing, exercise, playtime. Your pets will get all of that.

About: I previously worked at Best Friends Pet Care. I worked there for two and a half years! I specialized there as a tiny camp counselor where I monitored a group of small to medium sized dogs for a few hours. I have experience handling, playing with and taking care of dogs from 2lbs to 150lbs, i’ve seen it all! I’ve also dealt with dogs of many ages from puppies to seniors. I have two family dogs of my own and currently have a cat with my partner and am my happiest when caring for fuzzy friends! I’m used to having an animal around 24/7 and wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently in between jobs after a move. I am now available Monday- Friday anywhere from 10am - 5pm! I have lots of time to be with your fur baby. I can communicate with you on whatever you need for your pets! Whether that involves walks/ medication/ crates/ play time etc. I am open to hearing your dog’s personal needs and helping how I can!

About: I love furry friends! I’ve taken care of friends’ and relatives dogs and cats since college. I am happy to help you fulfill any of your pets’ needs! I am a teacher during the school year, so I bring patience, reliability, and enthusiasm to pet care. I’m a full time teacher during the school year, so in the summer I have plenty of availability on weekdays mornings, daytime, and evenings. I am also available for pet sitting or walking many weekends. I respect your home by closely following your pet care instructions including any special diet or behavior needs. I have also gone through no harm dog training with my dog, so I am fully at ease dealing with dogs that range from chill to anxious or reactive. As for cats, I am an introvert who is good at reading animal body language, so I will make sure to treat them with care while giving them their personal space.

About: We're a family of six—myself, my husband, our three kids, and our Great Dane, Indigo. We take only one booking at a time so your dog gets our undivided attention and care. Our home is never empty. My husband works from home daily, and our kids are lifelong dog lovers. Indigo is well-loved and spoiled, but she's truly longing for a playmate to chase around our fenced backyard. Mornings and evenings are for short, leisurely walks, while lunchtime calls for a longer jog. Being a mom of four—Indigo included—I bring patience, calm, and attentiveness to every pet I watch. I love sticking to their routine, learning their favorite toy, their favorite spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. My husband and I have shared our home with both big and small dogs over the years, so we're comfortable with any size, energy level, or personality. For stays longer than five days, we kindly ask that you bring their bed and an old shirt to help them feel right at home. Until we meet your four-legged family member, know that they'll be treated like one of our own. Morning walks, evening walks, and plenty of play in between. We follow your dog's routine so they feel right at home. Let us know what makes them happy. They'll have free run of our home and a warm spot to sleep at night. We've got a fenced yard and a park down the street. We do everything with them just like you would on a normal day.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Princeton on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 4,883 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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
  • 98% 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.
