“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!”
“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!”
“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 💓”

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!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Summer took amazing care of our three dogs while we were away for Christmas. Communication was excellent the entire time, and it was clear how much our dogs loved and trusted her. Summer is friendly, reliable, and truly great with pets. While we were away we had total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

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.
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.

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
- 97% 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.
