“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.”
About: I hqve always pet sit for a long time now off of social mediq only for locals, i have experience dog walking, doing drop in visits, i can do it all working around my availability! I am currently in nursing school and work around my school schedule. I am open for the most part even though my schedule changed a lot. I love pets, i treat them as my own since I know they are already missing their owners while they are away. I follow instructions as provided and give them lots of love!
“Sydney was awesome! She asked questions to make sure our cat was getting the best care and was extremely attentive to our cat’s needs. She completed care that we didn’t even ask her to do because that’s how thorough and thoughtful she is! We will definitely be booking with Sydney again. Our cat wasn’t even mad we left, haha”
“I have never had anyone watch my American Bully before and I have been super worried/nervous throughout. Nonetheless, Toria was phenomenal and updated me CONSTANTLY!!! I was at ease even though I was away from my pup. Even though my pup is a Covid puppy, meaning she hasn’t been away from me for more than 10 hours, Toria made sure Pallas was taken care of and got all the loves she needed to be relaxed and happy while I was away. ❤️?? I am truly grateful and will be using them again! If you’re hesitant because it’s your first time using this service DON’T BE!!! Toria has got you covered??????”
“Alex was great! She sent daily updates and was very pleasant and friendly. My kitty seemed super comfortable and happy she had company while I was away! I would definitely have her pet stay again!”
“Keri was incredibly patient with my no so easy babies! I also appreciated the in the moment updates as I was a little nervous as this was my first time trusting anyone other than family to care for my babies! I’ll totally book her again!”
“Lydia did such an AMAZING job at caring for our 2 cats! She provided excellent communication and was so attentive to our fur babies. Our cats tend not to like strangers but they warmed up to her quickly. She really helped us feel safer leaving our cats in her care while we were away, and she was so great through every step of the process. We will definitely look to hiring her again the next time we need a sitter!”
About: I have cared for fur babies since I was a baby myself. I have grown up with all different kinds of animals but our dogs have had the most special place in our hearts. I admire their obedience and loyalty and it’s something I feel we almost don’t deserve. I will take good care of anyone’s dog and treat them as my own. I would love to help you out and I have trusted services! I currently am a full time teacher so can care for dogs based on a 8-5 work schedule. I can also break away for 30 minutes for lunch. My weekends are free so I can do stays. I am willing to dog sit over nights will just have to leave for work. My summer are open other than shifts here and there at my serving job. My home consists of 2 dogs and 2 cats that get non-stop love, exercise, and treats! Your dogs will receive care and attention like mine do!!
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have had them as part of my life since childhood. Over the years I’ve cared for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities, so I’m very comfortable around all kinds of dogs. I also spent several years working at an animal shelter where I helped care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cleaning kennels, and making sure each dog felt safe, comfortable, and loved while they waited for their forever homes. That experience taught me how to read dog behavior, stay calm in different situations, and give every dog the patience and attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, a long walk, or just some extra cuddles and company, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy and well cared for. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m home most of the day. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout your pet’s stay. My day is already structured around caring for my own dogs, so adding another pet means they’ll be included in a routine of regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, and rest. Pets are rarely left alone and are part of a calm, home-centered environment. I’m able to give frequent updates, adjust to your pet’s needs, and provide plenty of interaction throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can also accommodate pets who may need a little extra attention, consistency, or companionship. Your pet will be cared for as part of my daily life, not just scheduled in. I treat every pet like they’re my own, so safety and trust mean everything to me. My home is a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where your pet can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs — whether that means extra playtime, cuddles, or giving them space to settle in. I stick to your pet’s routine as much as possible so they feel secure and stress-free. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep everything consistent for them. I also send regular updates and photos because I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up raising dogs throughout my entire life, caring for them from playful puppies all the way through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience hosting dog events and working with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and actively supported animal rescue and support groups. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly adore them—every pup I care for gets patience, attention, and lots of love, just like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, allowing plenty of time to spend taking walks, playing in the yard or even a cuddle for nap time! My schedule is flexible, to meet every dogs needs! I have a fully fenced yard, and 2 playful pups that are quick to make new best friends! We have a 1yo Golden Retriever, Jazz, and a 1yo German Shepard/Cattle mix, Cali. I am hands on, giving love and pets throughout the entire day! We have a 2 story home, that is great for the pups to run freely when inside (with a gate if you have any concerns with stairs). I have a pet proofed home, so there is nothing they can get into inside or out!
About: I’ve taken care of small and large animals of lots of varied species. Friends, family and my job have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets as well as give them plenty of attention and love. I currently work at a partially remote company and can walk pets after 4pm Mon-Wed with full availability on Thursdays and Fridays for any furry friend needs :) I’m extremely detail oriented and will care for your fur-baby as if they were my own. I always respect others spaces and will happily keep pup parents updated as often as requested!
About: I have had multiple dogs at a time since I was a child, vet tech trained to give you peace i’ll take the best care of your pup while you are away and take care of them like they are one of my own. Remote worker who’s partner also works remotely, have a very flexible schedule to take care of pets at any time with notice to block off my schedule to drop in, or if sitting can love them and play with them constantly throughout the day I personally have had dogs that free roam or have been crate trained, able to deal with any situations for your precious pups whether it's in your own home or mine while you are away
About: I have been taking care of dogs and my own pet for a little over seven years now. I am most experienced with senior dogs, as most of my friends and family have older dogs with plenty of extra needs. I have fostered puppies for a few years now, and I am very well-versed in potty-training puppies as well! I currently have a full time job, Monday through Friday 8-5pm, some Saturdays 8-12pm and off on Sundays. I will be available to care for your pets in their own environment and safe place so they can feel comfortably in their own space and keep their same routine. I have a large, fenced backyard free of any harmful plants for my dog. Plenty of toys, a neighborhood perfect for walking, practicing leash training, and ample space for my pet to relax and play! I adhere to a schedule, whether it’s for my own or for my client, and I am very strict about it unless there is room for extra time depending on the dog’s mood/behavior. Very energetic, so your dog will receive proper exercise, attention, and so much love in my presence!
Princeton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jaclyn was an angel with my 2 German shepherds as I went out of town. She treated my puppies like they were her own and went above and beyond to ensure they were well taken care of while I was gone. She left each visit with detailed updates and photos which was the best part of my days when on vacation. 10/10 would recommend and use again.
Nikki was AMAZING! I had an emergency that I never expected. I contacted Nikki and she was available to do drop in visits on my dog. She has great communication, very genuine and warm. I was a bit nervous booking without meeting the person but I was far away and had no other choice. Nikki made me feel so comfortable as she checked in and was truly a god send for me! I will definitely book with Nikki again. From the bottom of my heart…. THANK YOU NIKKI!
Carly took great care of our new puppy Remy. He is definitely high energy and deep in him shark phase. But that did not phase her. Our old lady Gemma is a sweetheart and Carly also gave her some love and attention. Will most definitely be contacting Carly again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which meant so much to me. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own. Highly recommend!
Damon was great! We had a very last minute need for someone to let our Golden out to potty d/t running late from work, he responded promptly and was at our place within 10 minutes- letting our pup out and playing catch with him. Very Dependable! Thank you again Damon! Will definitely talk soon :)
Christina did great with my dogs! Started the drop in on time and stayed the full time that was booked. She reported she had no issues with the pups and they were happy and calm when I returned home. I have her booked for overnight stays that I know my pups will be well taken care of.
