“Yulia is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My dog is skittish and frequently feels unsafe in unknown places. Surprisingly, he wiggled his tale and went straight to her on arrival. Upon pick up, he didn’t even want to leave! I’ve also received updates and photos of my fur baby during the stay and he looked soo happy. Looking forward to future bookings!”
“Tracey's home was the perfect setup for our young pup, she was careful to keep him comfortable around the other animals and closely watched his interactions (he hasn't been socialized yet and she gave us some helpful tips!). She kept us updated on his feeding habits and play times as well. Her and her family were super welcoming. We will definitely use 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.”
“Damon and Danyale were amazing with communicating and keeping me updated on my pup. This was my first time using a sitter and they made the experience a breeze. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Judith was great! She had excellent communication and listened to the care my pup, Greg, needed and accommodated him! I know Greg was in great hands, which gave me peace of mind while he stayed at her house! Greg and her dog got along great during his stay as well! I would highly recommend!”
“We boarded our 4-year-old dog, Mishti with Jennifer for the first time few weeks ago. She is wonderful, she took time for a meet & greet and clarified our doubts/questions. She sent regular photo updates and responded to our queries about Mishti's medication. Mishti was really well taken care of. Jennifer accommodated our request of a slightly late pickup, and we couldn't be more thankful for that! Mishti seemed happy in Jennifer's care and had become friends with another dog! Jennifer's place is very dog friendly with lots of beds around for the dogs and very clean! Jennifer, thank you so much for taking care of Mishti!”
“Tiffany and her family were so wonderful to our pup Teddy! I really felt like I was leaving in a home the where he would be loved on and treated as family. Their own dog was so playful and friendly, I knew that Teddy would have an awesome playmate while he was there. I also love that she doesn't keep multiple dogs in her house at the same time, so any dog staying with them will receive a lot of personal attention. Tiffany will now be our go-to any time we are in need of a dog sitter!”
“Britney provided the perfect home away from home for our dog. She took such great care of him and updated me with pictures all weekend. Gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well loved. And he came home exhausted from all the fun he had. I would highly recommend Britney for caring for you puppy, too!”
“Mary is awesome!! She is an all-around animal Whisperer. She came to my house to check up on my cat while I was away. She did a house visit ahead of time, and my very elusive cat came up to her right away and within minutes she was petting him. I didn't know how he would do being outdoors a couple of days indoors a couple of days, but she was able to get him to come out from underneath the bed finally after many many minutes of coaxing. She was able to get him to go outside, and then to go back inside several times. I was concerned of how he would do, but she has magic powers, that's all I can say! My dog Ginger went to stay at her house. Mary sent me updates and pictures to show me that Ginger was relaxed and doing just fine. As a matter of fact, I was surprised when I went to pick Ginger up when I got back. I figured she'd be all excited to see me and everything, but she was very calm, and went straight to Mary one last time for goodbye hugs and just rubs. Mary has a kind heart, and great patience, and understands animals and their needs. I recommend her to anyone that needs help with their animals. Thank you Mary!”
“Joy took care of Lincoln for 2 weeks. She was very attentive to him and sent us lots of pictures. She was gentle and kind with Lincoln since he had just lost his lifetime buddy, and was a little anxious. She eased her way right into Lincoln’s heart and I could tell when I picked him up they had truly bonded! If you want someone to take care of your dog better than you actually do, Joy is the choice for the job! We hope to leave Lincoln in her care again!”
“We left our golden retriever with Jamie for a little over a week. She did and amazing job, kept us up to date with videos and pictures, and our dog had a great time.”
“Trevor was communicative and friendly. My dog appeared to have a good time and he sent pictures, videos, and informative updates throughout his stay. I would recommend Trevor as a pet sitter.”
“Brooke was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and we were very apprehensive. She immediately put me at ease! She was so kind, sent updates/pictures/videos multiple times through the days, and loved my babies like they were her own. We will definitely be requesting her to puppysit for us again. 12 out of 10!!”
“William was awesome. He sent us pictures and videos while we were out of town! Our dog was so comfortable you can tell he was well taken care of. I will be using him in the future!”
“Ava was happy and healthy when I picked her up. Andrea sent me pictures everyday and that really eased my swordy. I’ll for sure reserve a spot with them again. 😊”
“Jill was wonderful to communicate and accommodating with our schedule to house our dog. Thanks so much, Jill! Daisy enjoyed her time hanging out with Iggy. 😄 Highly recommend Jill!”
“Shannon is amazing! Our meet and greet was great she made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She’s very communicative and flexible. She sent a lot of pictures and videos while I was on vacation and I was never worried. If you’re thinking of booking with Shannon you should!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
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.
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.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 TX 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.
