“Sarah did an amazing job in caring for our two cats during two separate trips—one for a week and another for two weeks. Her daily messages and photos kept us well informed. We’re thrilled with the care she provided and would happily work with her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have pet sitting experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I also have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and reliable care while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule, allowing me to provide dependable visits and plenty of attention. I’m flexible and happy to work with your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medications, and any special requests while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve had pets since I could remember and they’ve always been a special part of my life. Being able to care for your pets, just as attentively as I do my own, would bring me so much joy. I’ve cared for many family and friend’s pets so much so, that I would love to start professionally pet sitting. I currently work an 8-5 job 4 days out of the week but have plenty of time before and after work to feed, take to the potty, and love on your pets. My weekends are very open and I can spend more time playing with your pet as well. I have experience in cleaning up accidents, walking, feeding, administering oral medications just like I do for my own animals. I am capable of leaving your home secure and intact while you are away. I’m sure I can responsibly handle anything that comes my way.
About: I’ve house sat other dogs, regularly house sit my own dog and have had a variety of other animals of my own through the years Right now I’m home basically all day I donate plasma twice a week for about an hour and sometimes DoorDash for a few hours I always follow whatever special instructions you have for your pets whether that be taking them out a certain number of times or special feeding instruction
“This is the 2nd time Crystal has taken care of Smokey Jo. She cares so much about animals and it is evident. We had a small mishap on our part and Crystal rolled with it, making sure our girl was taken care of and providing a huge relief for me.”
“Christine was very nice to watch our cat so last minute due to an urgent family matter we had to travel out of state for. She followed the directions & showed up when she needed to. Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for animals all my life. From pet sitting to dog walking to administering medicine, I have the experience to care for your fur baby. I am currently taking a gap year and during this time I’m working on building my skills within animal care. I am busy during weekdays from 7AM-9AM as well as 1:20PM-2:50PM. But my schedule is flexible beyond those times. I can care for your pet in your home if you give me a list/instructions for each day I’m there. I will care and give your pet all the attention it needs and I can even offer potential training services if it lies within my expertise.
“If I could give April more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! This was our first time ever having someone we didn’t know come into our home to care for our dogs, so I was honestly pretty nervous. From the moment we met April at our meet and greet, every bit of that anxiety disappeared. She immediately made us feel comfortable, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. While we were away, April went above and beyond in every possible way. She cared for our three very different pups, from our wild, energetic puppy to our sweet 16-year-old senior, each with their own unique needs. She provided incredible communication throughout the entire weekend with thoughtful updates, detailed visit summaries, and lots of photos that gave us complete peace of mind. What truly impressed us was everything she did that we never even asked for. Despite the rainy weather, she brought her own towels to dry our dogs off after taking them outside. She also stayed longer than scheduled to take each of our dogs on individual walks, simply because she wanted to make sure they got the attention and exercise they deserved. In just a few days, April went from being someone we had just met to someone who felt like a trusted friend. Knowing our dogs were loved and cared for as if they were her own made it possible for us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. And as if all of that wasn’t enough, we came home to the sweetest surprise: a beautiful hand-picked bouquet of flowers and fresh cucumbers from her garden. It was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that perfectly reflects the kind of person she is. We are beyond grateful to have found April. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we won’t hesitate to book with her again and again. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, dependable, and will love your pets like family, book April!”
“Justine was wonderful with my fur babies and very thorough! She was able to get my shyest cat to play and that says a lot about her. I appreciate the time and effort she spent with my boys and I will continue to trust her with them in the future!”
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.
“Mia is fantastic! She’s very communicative, dependable, and goes above and beyond. She even helped us last minute with only one day’s notice during a family emergency. We’re so grateful for her and highly recommend her!”
About: I've spent my childhood taking care of animals, whether it be your occasional dog or cat, or something as rare as a horse, and pretty much anything in between! I pick up on an animals social ques very fast, whether they be the well known ones or maybe something your animal does that is unique for them. I deal with all ages of animals, including seniors and babies, and can administer medication if needed. I also deal with all behaviors of animals, whether they be aggressive, or a shy baby, or simply just one with social anxiety. I work well with routines if your animal has one, such as feeding times or potty breaks if you know your animals schedule! I have an open schedule, but even if I didn't I'd much rather spend it with fur babies! I can work at any time, on any days, and have a flexible schedule where I can be booked the day of. I fully believe accidents are accidents, so if your fur baby may have an accident I would be more than happy to clean your space as well as theirs. I'm also a believer in having a clean dish for eating time or a clean area for an animal to have fun and be free in without worrying about making a mess. If your fur baby makes a mess of any sorts, I promise to clean it up!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 694 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
