“Sarah is a dependable, prompt, and kind. Our puppy was well taken care of and we just knew Sarah loved him and our cats. She was always on time to walk our puppy and always had fantastic communication. She is an animal lover!!!! I highly recommend Sarah for your pet needs. I can’t say enough great things about her. 🥰🐾”
“Shannon was amazing! She watched our golden retriever, Winston, while we were out of town for several days. We asked her to drop in 3 times a day, spread out over 7-8 hours. She was on time for every drop-in and maximized the 30 minutes with him. She played ball with him, gave him cuddles, took him on walks, etc. She even found activities to do with him when it was raining. We received consistent updates on how he was doing, as well as pictures. She gave us such peace of mind, and we are so grateful for that. We would definitely use her again in the future and will be recommending her to friends.”
“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of our pups, cleaning up accidents, and making sure they got plenty of love! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Paige in the future!”

“Jessica was an amazing cat sitter! She was very attentive to the cats; Cinnamon loved her so much. She sent pictures of our cats and left report cards after each visit. We also really appreciated her quickly informing us that we had an ant problem. Thanks to her, we were able to address the issue while we were away. Thank you!”
About: I used to work at daycare with all kinds of dogs and cats including seniors. I have a big passion for animals and know how to administer medication if needed. I’ve helped out family and friends with their pets including feeding, potty breaks, playing outside with them, etc. I used to work part-time at doggy daycare but now at Food Lion, so I can spend time with your furbabies. I’m also in school for vet tech but I make time for the babies always! For clients, I usually stick to schedule with their feeding, potty breaks, etc. I like to keep their food and water bowls clean every time to prevent them from being sick. I take them outside for potty breaks and play with for about 30-40 minutes unless it’s too hot or cold. I also like to keep the owner updated on how their pets are doing and send pictures.

“Crystal was absolutely wonderful! We had scheduled a meet/greet. Unfortunately I had an emergency and needed her earlier than I’d scheduled and for the week instead of a night. She even offered to go get more food for my pups bc I knew they were going to run out. Dogs were so happy and I couldn’t be happier with her services heart”
About: I bring both professional animal experience and genuine compassion to pet care. I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science from North Carolina A&T State University and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and medical conditions. I have experience giving oral medications and caring for animals of all ages. Growing up on a farm and working hands on with animals throughout college has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident around animals of all sizes. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant. I have spent years caring for animals both personally and professionally. I’m available Sundays and most weekdays after 5 PM, which makes me a great option for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I’m used to balancing animal care responsibilities throughout my day and enjoy providing pets with attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and exercise. I make sure they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and overall wellness since I have experience working as a veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed and caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities. I also make sure to keep the home clean, secure, and respected while providing updates and photos for peace of mind.
“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 taken care of all kinds of animals from helping friends and family. Just thought I would do what I love. Let me help you. I do not work, so I would love to be able to help someone else if I you’ll let me. With that being said, “call me”! Mine are house pets. I bathe, groom and make sure they go out as needed. If meds needed, I can also do that for you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 723 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

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.
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 sitter.
