About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals like guinea pigs. Over the years, I’ve helped care for multiple dogs of different sizes and temperaments, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building trust with animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet is energetic or more laid-back, I adapt to what works best for them. I am unfortunately a busy lady, with school and work, but Fridays I will always be available for your pet needs. I am hoping to have more availability as time goes on. i have a fenced yard. i have two dogs who are crate trained and very friendly, so no need to worry about altercations. i am able to keep my fur babies crated if that were to make whomever i am caring for more comfortable, but i also have a backyard big enough for all pets to play if that is wanted as well.
About: Ive never met a dog or cat that doesn't instantly like me and same for me too! Kindness & Respect go along way with pets. I treat them like I would want to be treated if I was an animal. Ive always been a hard worker and do my best to make others happy, human or animal. Im dependable and easy to work with. I believe communication is key in life. Im respectful of others home, property & privacy. I will take good care of your babies & whatever you trust me with. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 😊 I am retired. My schedule is pretty open. I do deliver part time here & there. However, pets come first and I'm dedicated pet sitter. I am very attentive to your pets. Notes of your pets usual routines, likes & dislikes help to continue easy days & nights while you are away.
“Kelly did a wonderful job watching my cat while I was away for a week! She was consistent when she showed up and I could tell she spent some time with him. When I got home, he was happy and well taken care of! I’ll definitely use Kelly again in the future!”
“Amy was an absolute lifesaver when she extended for a week when I was delayed coming home due to a family illness - thanks so much, Amy!! She was so patient with our skittish kitty, finally winning her over, ending with pets and lap naps! I highly recommend this wonderful lady!”
About: I’ve had dogs & cats for 30 plus years. I also have mini horses and alpacas. I’m used to anxious animals and seniors too. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have flexibility most weekdays and some weekends. I homeschooled my kids and now just enjoying my time with my own menagerie of animals and yours! I have 4 acres a barn and a fenced area for my dog. If I need to bring your dog here, it could be possible.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jaclyn. We decided to hire her for our crazy Great Pyrenees and all of our indoor cats. She was very punctual and we returned home to very happy babies. I had initially asked her to provide photos of them and she sent me photos of individual pet with every visit!! On top of that, she also spent quality time with them for their mental stimulation. We will hire her again and recommend her to all the anxious mothers who hate to be away from their furbabies. Thanks to her, we were able to spend some time away from home with ease of mind 🥰”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have been around dogs and cats and have taken care of friends and family's pets. I currently am fostering a friend's two cats while they get back on their feet. I have a corgi that I have had since a puppy and two cats. I currently work Monday-Friday 7:30am to 4:00pm. I can provide pet care anytime after that and on weekends. I am not available for overnights as I have children that need me. If a pet comes to my home I have a fenced backyard with a corgi that loves other dogs and cats. I have plenty of dog and cat toys. My cats, also, don't mind other pets.
About: Hi! 🥰 My name is Rachael! I am a very energetic, patient, and creative person who lives to love and be around animals. Dogs are my favorite animal! I have cared for animals for 13 years. I’ve grown up around many other animals as well and cared for them. Such as cats, fish, and some reptiles. I do offer to bathe your babies if needed. With me, your children will receive appropriate care. Personally, I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, and always just a phone call away, face time is also available so minimum supervision is required. With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, fun, and stable environment for your sweet babies!! I look forward to hearing from your families soon! 🐶🥰 I’m currently enrolled at James Madison High School. I do have a lot of free time right now until I reach my money savings goal to continue school. I’m not providing care for animals in my home right away but will provide care in my home as soon as possible for both cats & dogs.
“Emily has been so great with our babies! We have a sweet senior and a very playful puppy. She has been a great help for us. Both me and my husband work full time jobs and have a pretty busy schedule. Emily has definitely relieved a lot of our worries by being able to give our babies potty and playtime breaks at very random times and days. We will most definitely continue to reach out to her. Thanks Emily!”
“Lindsey was everything we could hope for in a sitter for our first time using one. Peanut was not ready for boarding. He is slow to warm up. She was extra patient with him and spent extra time the 1st day. He was warming up much better each day. He had a couple of accidents and she helped clean it up. She did not have to be as caring as she was, but we are most grateful and will continue to call on her. Thank you for everything Lindsey! We could tell Peanut really appreciated your visits.”
“Courtney did an amazing job with our girls during the drop in visits at our home! She followed our instructions carefully, kept us updated on how they were doing, and always sent photos and Rover cards after each visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing the girls were in great hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“My little girl is anxious but Savannah did amazing! She was so patient and even came to meet Stella (my dog) beforehand so everyone was safe and comfortable. Couldn’t be happier! Savannah went above and beyond. Thank you so much for taking care of Stella!”
“Marcela did a fabulous job taking care of Chesty while I was out of town. She always kept me informed, asked questions when needed, and showed genuine attention and care for him. Could not have asked for a better sitter. Will definitely seek her services again!”
About: I have always had pets in my life since I was at a very young age. I recently moved to Princeton with my family and we are animal lovers all the way! I currently work from home, I and my wife also have a dog Luka who is 3 y/o and would love some company to play and exercise. We live on a nice apartment property, located super close to Carrollton Blue and Orange trails and outdoor. We always clean up and respect our four-legged friends. I have a very flexible job, that allows me to take many breaks during the day, allowing me to look after the doggies. I usually have smooth music for Luka while I'm on a call, but 80% of the time we just hang out until the next break to go out and walk around. On weekends we like going to the outdoors to get that extra excersice when needed. I take care with the basics needs first, always filtered water and safe to use toys, I like keeping them entertained with toys or a comfy sofa to lay down. I like taking them on walks nearby, as our apartment isn't fenced I like to keep him on a leash until we go to a park where they can run a little and stretch those legs.
“Mary did an amazing job! While we were on our trip, several states away, our AC broke and Mary went above and beyond to look after our pets while we tried to coordinate a repair. With all that stress, knowing someone was doing such a good job looking after our pets was so appreciated.”
About: What sets me apart is the deep, genuine love I have for every animal in my care. I treat each pet like family, offering personalized attention, patience, and understanding. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, including administering medication and managing mobility issues. Whether it’s training basics, cuddle time, or special needs care, I go the extra mile to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and truly at home. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the pets I care for making sure they get the attention, walks, meals, playtime, and snuggles they need to feel happy and secure. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or cozy evening routines, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with animals. Their wellbeing is a priority, and I make sure my schedule allows for dependable, unrushed, and loving care every time. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a loving, safe space with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. At your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy.

Sydney has been a fantastic pet sitter for our cat, Chester, while we were away for a week. She followed all of our instructions carefully, took great care of him, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We also returned to find our home in excellent condition. We truly appreciate her reliability and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Kimberly was great with our cats! She was always on time, sent us photos, and kept us updated with any changes. She was very attentive with giving medication to our one cat and adjusted her approach until she accepted the medicine. Would 1000% recommend Kimberly!!!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Princeton on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,668 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.
