Crystal watched my dog for a couple days while I was out of town. She was very communicative and sent me updates. She followed all my instructions as my dog is older and has some special needs. I had a flight delay and she even offered to come back to take him out. I can tell she loves animals. I would book her again.

Amber was super communicative and flexible with our needs- we had 4 dogs with all different needs (senior dog, puppy, big & small) and she was the perfect person! She was able to do medications for one dog as well. We will definitely rebook & highly recommend if you're looking for a great person who cares about doing a great job!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with nearly 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I started caring for dogs when I was 14, and since then I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, from tiny lap dogs to bigger, energetic breeds. I’m comfortable administering medication and always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I work remote for 20 hours of my work week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. I’m happy to take dogs on walks or to the park, and I always make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all instructions closely and make sure they are safe, well cared for, and given plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. As a longtime equestrian, I gained valuable experience caring for horses, which taught me responsibility, patience, and confidence in handling animals with different temperaments. In addition to caring for horses, I’ve lived with and cared for two cats over the past two years and have experience looking after multiple dogs and puppies. Last year, I house sat for a family with a very energetic dog, making sure they got plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship while their owners were away. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important routines are, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions if needed, and any special requests to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, or quiet companionship, my goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays. Since I already care for my own cats every day, pet care is a regular part of my life, and I love spending time with animals whenever I can. I’m committed to being dependable, attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make sure to follow their normal schedule for meals, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions from their owners. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while making sure their home is respected and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so they receive personalized care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands.

Jamie really liked Kimberly from our initial meet and great visit. He was well cared for, Kimberly worked during the day, which quite a distance from my home but still came back every day to spend her lunchtime with him, to get him out and play. Jamie wasn’t feeling well one day and immediately contacted me. She stayed with him and worked from home that day to be with him. Kimberly communicated and sent pictures every day. We found a winner, and I will definitely call upon her again whenever I have to leave my precious boy, who is my world.

This was our first time using Rover for our very skittish rescue dog. Before booking Lee came and sat with Maple for an hour just to let her warm up to him some and learn more about her. We felt very comfortable being several states away and got frequent picture and video updates without having to ask. We came home to Maple lying contently in her bed. I would recommend Lee to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!

About: Tucked away in a secluded area of Gray Court, SC, our generously 1acre fenced-in yard provides a tranquil ambiance for weekend play and fun. As a passionate animal care advocate with a robust background in boarding, I tap into 12+ years of boarding and doggy day care services. I am available for both overnight boarding and doggy daycare throughout the day. It is vital that your pet is dog and cat-friendly, as they will interact with other friendly pets in my home. Additionally, we necessitate proof of spaying/neutering, current vaccinations, fecal exam, and flea prevention to maintain a safe and clean environment for all pets. If you need a weekend away or just a place during the day your pet can play with other furry friends and have a day of activity and fun in a safe environment I am only a message away 😄🐶 I am available 7 days a week for pet care services. All dogs and cats need to be socialized and able to play in a supervised group setting. Up to date on vaccines and a recent fecal sample to guarantee no parasites. All pets must be spayed or neutered prior to daycare. A pet profile sheet will be provided first so that I can know the basic needs of your pet and care. I have a one acre fenced in yard, allowing a day of play and fun. A kiddie pool to cool down during the summer heat and a soft couch for when your pup is spent from the exciting day of activity and fun!

About: I grew up having pets all my life, and after high school started doing pet sitting occasionally. My pets have ranged from a Jacksons Chameleon, a few farm animals, and of course, dogs and cats! Two of my current animals are special needs, one with only 3 legs and one with a seizure disorder, so I’m well versed in animals that need a little *extra* care! I currently work part time as a nanny, so I have more than enough time for drop-ins to take care of your pets and give them all the love, cuddles, and treats they may need! I care for pets in YOUR home and treat it as if you’re one of my nanny clients. I’ll follow your pets daily routine when it comes to food, walks, meds, etc and leave enough time for cuddles as well making sure the house is left clean from any pet accidents or pet messes.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I was raised around them from the time I was 5 years old and started learning how to care for the animals around me. I have a Husky of my own that is my bestest friend and a big baby that is super spoiled. I would love to make your pet feel just as loved with me as they are with you! I work from home so I would be able to provide optimal care for your fur baby. I also have completed vet assistant school and have worked as a volunteer at the humane society multiple times throughout my life. I am currently working remotely so I am able to take care of your pets really whenever. I am pretty open to any schedule that you may have!! I can easily crate your dog if needed, I also have a 4 month old husky puppy to keep them company that is extremely friendly and loves to play.

Shelly exceeded our expectations! She was extremely communicative and sent a ton of pictures! She spent so much quality time with our cat and dog so we knew they were getting spoiled! Our house was very clean when we got home! We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter while we are away! I hope we get to book her again when we go on vacation! Thank you so much!! 😊

Riley was so great as a house/pet sitter. She spoiled our pets and took great care of our home. Our dog loves car rides so she took her on one every day (even got pup cups)! She even washed her sheets on her last day. We already booked her for another trip we have planned. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 814 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Princeton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Princeton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Princeton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
