“Laura did a great job taking care of my baby boy!! She was very accommodating when I had to extend my pick up time. Maison had a ball run in the yard and playing with the other dogs. All in all it was a good experience. 👍🏾”
“Jared and Ly were amazing!!! We found them on short notice using Rover for the first time. They were so good to our dog Piper. We got so many photos of her playing and having a good time while we were gone! We will definitely be using them again. Thank you!”
“I highly recommend Kelly. Bella was well taken care of and seemed to have been happy to "bond" with her dogs. Kelly was easy to communicate with and sent photos and updates . I would definitely board my dog with her again .”
“Our pups always have a great time staying with Matthew and Heidi - they're great! So communicative, kind, and caring with our dogs. We appreciate the care they provide!”
“We are beyond thankful for Suzanne and her son, Jackson! They were so welcoming when we first arrived! They went above and beyond in caring for our old pup (so much so that he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up!) We will absolutely rebook in the future ❤️”
“Cristina has been dog sitting our Cavapoo for 2-3 years and our doggie is like part of their family now 😁. Cristina is very active with our dog, taking her for neighborhood walks and she sends a lot of updates during her stay. Cristina’s grandsons are just the sweetest and they give our doggie so much love as well.”
About: I love animals and have grown up raising, training, and taking care of their overall well being. I raised and trained a pitbull pup (Nova) until she was 5 years old, with experience from taking care of cats and dogs at the time, and I now live with 2 cats and 2 dogs! I've had the cats since they were 3 months old and are now 1 year old! Both dogs are still young and both are socialized so they know and understand boundaries and are pet friendly. If you have any questions you are free to reach out anytime! I work full time, 7a-3p. I like to give boarding dogs their own room while I'm away, and I have camera's set up in there in case of an emergency. When I'm boarding I like to take them out for a few hours before I leave, bring them inside, play and/or work on any training with them and make sure they have everything they need. When I come home first thing I do is let them outside. I have tie outs so I'll watch to make sure they don't get tangled, play with them, or just keep them company if they just wanna sit. While I'm home I do allow pets on the couch, I'll have the tv on, and hang out with them or play with them, depends on the pet. My availability on Rover may not always be correct, I may be boarding other pets or house sitting. I will always let you know what's going on and see if we can make an arrangement. Feeding, giving water, cleaning litter, giving medicine, playing with them, letting them outside and/or walking them. Some things like giving medicine will need to be specified and especially if you have certain feeding habits I should be aware of just let me know. I will also send you photo updates on how they're doing!
“Carrington is simply the best! Super communicative, which helped me to rest easy. It is also evident that she loves animals. I am sure that Percy, my dog, loved her stay at Carrington's. Would 100% recommend :)”
“Julie took good care of our kitten. She had plenty of toys and entertainement for her. She kept in touch, sending photos and texts while we were away. Our Kitty had grown and was in good spirits when we retrieved her. We would definitely request Julie as a care giver for our pet again in the future.”
“Lindsay took such great care of our pups while we were busy with wedding prep activities. I could tell our girls were loved, cared for, and really enjoyed their time with Lindsay and her family!”
“Karson was very kind & sent photos of my pups to keep me updated. Kodachrome & Kita enjoyed spending time playing with Luna running around the backyard. We will definitely use Karson again in the future.”
“This is the 2nd time we have used Raquel for overnight stays while on vacation. She is beyond fabulous and we can tell our dog, Brooks, is very well taken care of. She sends lots of pictures and is great with keeping us updated/responding to messages which gives us peace of mind. You can tell Raquel is a kind person who truly has a passion for caring for animals. I wound recommend her to all family/friends! We will be using her again, thank you Raquel!”
“April was very accommodating and responsive to my needs. She sent multiple pics throughout the day (which were very adorable). My dog had a fun and safe place to stay while I visited relatives for the day.”
About: I have grooming, training, & boarding experience. I’m experienced in administering medications; pills, eye drops, shots, etc. Animals are my peace so I’d love to give a peace of mind to others😊 I’m available full time, there are currently 6 dogs & 2 cats in my house & the pups get outside about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I also have a 3 year old whos with me 3 days out of the week. I have a fenced in yard, all of my pups & my sisters are crated when not supervised. I would prefer crates brought when staying with me just for safety reasons! & if I were to watch your pup in your hone they’d get the same love & care they receive from you😊

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Princeton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Princeton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Princeton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Princeton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
