About: Iâve been taking care of my own pup for over 6 years! Iâve got familiarity with crate-training and teaching them new tricks. For chill dogs, Iâm more than happy just hanging out on a couch watching tv together. And for more active pups, I love to long distance run and am very comfortable jogging with dogs up to 70 lbs. I currently work remotely 3-4 days a week, and with a pretty flexible schedule. Barring the occasional mandatory meeting, I work my own hours so thereâs plenty of time to spend with your pup. Hi, I'm Karan! When I lived in Jersey City, my brother, his wife, and I shared a dog named Luna. We raised her together for a little under 7 years, and got her when she was 9 months old. She was part of my everyday life: morning walks, couch time, and teaching her new tricks! When I moved out, we decided she'd stay with my brother. She bonded with him, and he was moving into a new home with his wife and soon-to-be son. It was the right call, but I really miss having a furry friend around. My schedule doesn't allow for a dog of my own right now, and that's a big part of why I'm on Rover! Rover lets me give our furry friends the love and care they deserve while you're away, and it keeps animals in my life. I'll treat your dog the way I'd want someone to treat Luna! With patience, affection, and lots of head scratches. For boarding: Your pup will have plenty of room to stretch out at my place. I live in a spacious four-bedroom apartment with a balcony, and there's a dog park and lots of grass right outside, so potty breaks and playtime are only steps away. For longer walks, there's a much bigger park a few miles away that's great for exploring. For house-sitting: I work remotely most days, and I'm happy to work from your home if you'd like. I'll follow their usual feeding and walk schedule, and give you regular updates on their mood, how walks went, and all other info youâd like!
About: I started raising cats when I was very young, sometimes I even feel like a cat, I have the same habit as them, independent and gentle, coquettish and proud. Now I have a cat in my house, and I brought him to the United States from China. Even in the most difficult time of the new crown epidemic, I never thought of giving up on him. I believe that the decisive factor in measuring whether a person treats pets well or not It's how much this person loves pets. If this condition is true, I am the person who truly loves pets, and I am willing to accompany them all my life, whether it is my own pet or the one you want me to take care of. I have plenty of time and energy to take care of them, trust me, I can take care of them! I am a full-time housewife, but my child is 16 years old. She is studying out of state and rarely comes home. My husband and I live at home, and we have a lot of free and free time to take care of our pets. Just make an appointment with me in advance and I will arrange a time. Because I have pets myself, I believe that I have a scent that pets like, and they usually judge people by the smell if they are friendly to them, and I am sure they will like me too. I am a fitness fan myself, and I also like to design games and play with cats. It depends on your pet's personality. I will spend time with them according to their preferences and take good care of them.I can help cats trim their nails, give medicine and clean their ears, all of which I have learned myself, in fact, my cat is taking care of myself and he is very healthy.
About: Caring cat owner who appreciates the personalities that cats and dogs have. I have loved three different cats over the past 38 years.

I am retired elementary school principal whose wife works as a professor so I have lots of time to visit in the mornings for breakfast, mid morning and early afternoons for walks and keeping your pet company and also available for dinners and any bedtime routines. My cats had the run of our home during the day with a dedicated two litter box space. I do not currently offer in my OWN home care for other people's pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
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 showedâCharlie was relaxed, happy, and excited after their walk. Itâs 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 Princeton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dogâs walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Princeton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
