“We booked Maria for a 10-day trip and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided our pup! She went above and beyond—sending daily photos and videos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog was not just being looked after, but was genuinely loved and spoiled the entire time. Her communication was consistent. We came home to a happy, healthy dog who clearly adored her time with Maria. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve always had dogs of my own and have also cared for friends’ dogs on several occasions. My husband and I share our home with Sami, our sweet and friendly Chihuahua–Jack Russell mix. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. I have a special love for small dogs and believe every pup deserves patience, affection, and personalized attention. My goal is to make every furry guest feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like part of our family! Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine. I work weekday mornings and am home in the afternoons, evenings, and overnight, giving me plenty of time for playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention. I always make sure each pup’s routine and needs are a good fit with my schedule. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my priorities! I live in a spacious, smoke-free home in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood, with a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. I share my home with Sami, my sweet and friendly Chihuahua–Jack Russell mix. I welcome small dogs and believe in providing a peaceful, loving environment where every guest feels like part of the family. I follow each dog’s individual routine, respect their needs, and make sure they have a comfortable place to rest. I also believe in getting to know each dog before their stay to ensure a good fit with Sami. I am the sole caregiver responsible for all pets staying in my home. I personally handle their feeding, supervision, walks, playtime, and daily care.
“Jamie and her family were great with our dog Leia. It was so nice to get a few pictures while we were away, as well as notes and updates about how she was doing! Thank you Jamie and family!”
“Nicole and John were incredible with my dog Mae. This was my first time using Rover, and I was hesitant given Mae is 10 years old and is usually watched by family or a family friend when we are out of town. Mae took to them immediately, and Nicole and John provided lots of love and care, checked in, and sent pictures. I had such a peace of mind while I was away. I’m grateful to have found sitters I can rely on for future trips!”
“Our pup had such a great time! They have a great routine set up for the dogs and I know she was very well cared for. We got so many happy photos of her playing and appreciate the detailed updates. She came home with a cute bow and smiles!”

We had a great experience with Deepa! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day to let us know how our dog was doing as well as communicating and asking questions about our girl as needed. It was nice to know our dog was being well cared for while we were away!
My puppy, Koda, had the best time boarding with Halee. He stayed with her for 10 nights/11 days and we got photos of him every day that we were gone! He met and played with soooo many different dogs. This was his first time being boarded so it was very important we chose a good person to have him stay with and we feel like we made the best decision choosing Halee.
Our 2 dogs stayed 5 days with Jacqueliene and she was amazing to work with! She’s very responsive, attentive, and sent many updates on our two pups with pictures (which we loved!!). She was extremely accommodating to both of the dogs’ individual needs as far as feeding, sleeping arrangements, time outdoors, and more! We are excited to have a reliable pet sitter and will definitely be working with her again in the future!
Ishita took perfect care of my pup. My pup had a lot of special care needs, surgery stitches to protect, medication, abs finicky eating. Ishita kept him safe and happy and well-cared for. She even fed him by hand to help him eat enough to take his medicine. I’m so grateful for her care!
100% recommended. Marcela is very caring and looked after my little Mylo like her own child. She's very responsible and dedicated. I was always kept informed during the four days I left him in her care, and I felt comfortable and safe. I truly found a second home for my baby.
WOW - our cocker spaniel, had so much fun here! He was taken on daily walks and given so much love. He returned home a very happy boy. He’s eight years old and had never stayed with anyone other than family, but he felt right at home with them. We loved the daily updates and pictures that we were sent. We were able to go on vacation and know that our precious boy was being well taken care of and was safe and happy. We will definitely use Silviu and Stanca again in the future!
We had a truly wonderful experience with Kimberley. Her communication was always timely, and we really appreciated the regular updates along with pictures of our pet — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond by hand‑feeding our dog when he wasn’t eating, which meant a lot to us. We are extremely grateful for Kimberley’s care and dedication, and we would happily board our dog with her again.
Amber & Ronnie well excited to meet Milo. Milo has a separation anxiety and possessive nature. Amber said no problem. We can take care of him. I’m very happy with their care. They were even flexible to pick up and drop Milo. They give me constant updates on how he was doing. I highly recommend them.

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.

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 .
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 TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

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.
