About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, my family has always kept pets and i have always loved caring for them. As an adult my house is a zoo, I have a cat, two dogs and a husband. Both of my large dogs have a variety of specific care needs I am experienced in giving like teeth and ear cleaning. I do most of their grooming in my back yard. I have experience in every stage of a dogs life, from a 4 month old puppy to end of life care. I am currently a stay at home mom to a very bubbly toddler who loves to accompany me on walks and drop ins.she loves riding in the backpack or stroller and taking in all the sights while on walks. My schedule is very flexible, and I am child free in the evenings and very early mornings, for the fur babies that are not fond of human babies. I try and get to know the dogs well so I know how to care for them based on their needs and personality. I love them all like my own!
“My cat can be a bit high maintenance and difficult to win over. Samantha was super patient and comforting. My cat warmed up more quickly than any sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond!”

Will definitely use her in the future!”

“Tracey was the absolute best! She sent updates everyday and took the cutest pictures. I am very lucky to have found her. She is professional, knowledgeable and punctual. She was a wonderful choice to trust with my babies. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have 6 years of veterinary experience and currently work at an animal urgent care clinic. Cat and dog lover with pet care being my favorite hobby. I currently care for two Persian cats of my own, who are strictly indoors. Outside of my work-from-home job, I work part-time on the weekend at an animal urgent care to expand my love of caring for pets. With my background in health care, my technician skills have helped me be able to approach and respect the pet. Especially with pets whose homes I am entering for the first time. They need to trust and want to get familiar with me before I come into their home, and they notice their favorite humans aren't home with them either.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including energetic and high-maintenance dogs. I have experience raising my own dog from a puppy and understand the patience, consistency, and attention pets need. I’ve also babysat a puppy, walked two large dogs at the same time, and helped care for dogs for friends and family. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and safe, and I’m confident handling both calm and energetic pets. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and I work part-time, so I can often accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise routines. I have experience handling energetic and strong dogs, and I stay patient and calm in new situations. I make sure pets have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Analise, a Registered Nurse and lifelong dog lover based in McKinney. I have over 18 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors. As a nurse, attention to detail, safety, and communication are second nature to me. I currently care for my own 3 dogs and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. Whether your dog needs extra cuddles, daily walks, medication administration, or a consistent routine, I will treat them like family. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to spend more time at home than many sitters and provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. As a Registered Nurse and lifelong dog owner, safety is always my top priority. I am comfortable administering oral medications, caring for senior and special-needs dogs, and maintaining consistent routines. My home is clean, safe, and pet friendly, and I provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, playtime, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
About: Am I knew to Rover? Yes. Am I knew to loving animals? Absolutely not, I've been an animal lover my entire life. As a child, I grew up with dogs, birds, ferrets, and hamsters. Currently have two boxer mix dogs of my own, and a toddler which counts as an animal in my book! I'm not able to board animals in my home at this time, but am open to all other kinds of pet care. Experience: Corn Snake Bearded Dragons Ferrets Cats Dogs Medication management Diapers I'm currently going to school and using Rover as my income, so I am available all hours of the day, including short notice. I love being outside and I'm able to bring my schooling with me wherever I go, so if you're looking for maximum flexibility then you've found it! In my client's home, I try to match the same energy and routine that your pet is already accustomed to. Having someone else enter their space is already shock enough, so having someone who is as close to normal as possible is important to me.
“She was great! We had to book her super last minute and she was a godsend. This was the first time we left Buttons and her communication was amazing. The pictures she took of Buttons really took some anxiety. We will book with Sara!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
Nikki did a fantastic job sitting our pups, letting them run around for a bit while we were away from home. They looked like they had a blast! Nikki was super efficient, detailed in our instructions, and we look forward to booking her to hang out with our puppers again in the future!
Kelly is a dog whisperer! My Frenchton is a rescue and super anxious. She handled her and won over her trust and sent a picture while also caring for my American bully/possible pit mix. She’s a 1 year old big hyper sweet girl. She was very communicative and it was worth every penny!
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!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Princeton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Princeton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
