About: I have always loved animals. They are Gods proof of his love for us. Your beautiful fur baby will be in safe hands with me. I am a stay at home mom. My husband and I have five children. Two of them have graduated High School, two are in Elementary School and the last one just turned three. I am enrolled in online school pursuing my masters degree in Adolescent therapy/counseling. My schedule is very flexible especially during the day. I love and have lived by the Cesar Milan method of exercise, discipline, affection when training our family dogs. I love dogs very much but cannot allow being pushed around by them either. Boundaries are very important.
“Bobbie took great care of our dog and Kitty! Our animals usually dont immediately take to strangers, and even won't eat. Not with Bobbie! They took to her immediately and ate normally the entire week we were gone! We highly recommend her!”
About: Hello! 🐾 I’m a true animal lover and would be honored to care for your dog! I’ve had my own dog for over 3 years, and my flexible job allows me to provide plenty of attention, love, playtime, and treats. I also regularly care for my best friend’s dog, who had a stroke and has limited use of one leg. She completely trusts me for extended stays, which has given me experience with dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll treat your pup like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! ❤️🐶 I have a flexible job and work from home fully on Fridays! This allows me to truly spend time with your fur baby more than most can. I have a fenced in yard & golden retriever mix who is about 40 lbs who will keep your dog entertained. There is also a dog park that I can bring them to as well. My dog is very kind and gets along well with other dogs.
About: I’ve had various pets in the span of my life including cats,dogs,hamsters,gerbils, guinea pigs,fish, and frogs. I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, and have experience working in a vet clinic for 3 years, as well as an animal sanctuary. I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family, and have cared for blind and diabetic dogs, as well as ones with behavioral issues. One of my cats has separation anxiety, and I know what it’s like to worry and not want to leave your babies alone. I will give them plenty of love and entertain them while you’re away! And as I currently don’t own a dog, I would love nothing more than a furry friend to spend time with! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible throughout the week! I’m typically available to check in on your pet up to 3 times a day. As a pet owner myself, I understand worrying about them while being away. I’m a very reliable person that would give the upmost care and love for your baby. I would love to send updates and pictures to you often to give you peace of mind! I’m also very willing to do the small household chores like cleaning cages/litter boxes/ any messes they may make.
“Louann was a lifesaver when we needed someone at the last minute. She took good care of Toby . She followed all our instructions with great detail and got the job done!. Thank you Louann!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I’m always excited to take them on walks and show them much love!💗 I am originally from Orange, California and just moved to TX. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and sitting throughout the week. I will accommodate to your needs and your pets’ needs to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.

About: I have grown up around dogs. Currently we have 2 dogs. My boys love playing with them. We love taking our dogs on walks and would love to help you out. We run-walk our dogs. We love the outdoors. I am available after I get home from teaching school on Monday, Wednesday, and some Friday's. Tuesday/Thursday time is limited, but may can squeeze you in if you are flexible. My boys will accompany me while I am walking your pet. My son is the one wanting to earn money, but he is too young to work. He will provide dog treats to you after we walk your pet. If you are looking to socialize your pet with kids, contact me. Let us run-walk your pet so they stay fit and healthy while you are busy.
“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”
“Abbie is the very best! She has been taking care of my dogs for two years now and does such a fabulous job! Gemma and Skyler love seeing Abbie every day while I'm at work. I am a dog mom to the max and I feel comfortable leaving my house knowing that Abbie will be by later to let the pups out for a potty break and play time.”
About: Hello! I was born, raised, and educated locally with my own German Shepherds, several cats and hens. I am reliable, caring and have a passion for our best friends. I promise to take care of your fur-baby as though they are my own and respect their boundaries I work from home and have a schedule I stick to so I am able to allocate time towards your pets as agreed upon prior to our booking. Please let me know of any changes or unique schedule requests you may have I live with my own pets. I am familiar with crating, backyard potty breaks, food schedules and walks as needed for your pet's comfort and exercise release. I ask that schedules are established prior to booking when I ask my prompts for pet parents: How many potty breaks per day and what times work best? How many feedings per day and how much per mealtime? Any additional exercise needed? What are favorite toys and interests?
About: I have approximately five years of hands-on experience caring for animals through personal pet ownership, volunteering, and occasional pet sitting for friends and family while they are away on vacation. I have also volunteered at the Collin County Animal Shelter, where I work directly with dogs, helping provide care, attention, exercise, and socialization. Additionally, I have experience volunteering at a local horse ranch, where I have gained further experience working with and caring for horses. Through these experiences, I have developed a strong understanding of animal care, responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing animals with a safe, loving environment. I genuinely enjoy working with animals! My current schedule is fairly flexible. I work and attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I am generally available the rest of the week. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I am happy to work around the pet owner’s needs and schedule whenever possible. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every animal in my care. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident leaving their pets and homes in someone else’s hands. I will follow all care instructions closely, maintain the pets’ normal routines, ensure they have fresh food and water, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and keep their environment clean and secure. I will also treat each owner’s home with the utmost respect, keeping everything tidy, securing doors and windows, and making sure their home and pets are well cared for. Communication is also important to me, and I am happy to provide regular updates and pictures so owners have peace of mind while they are away.
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, and small pets/rodents, and have years of experience helping care for them. I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs and have experience walking and caring for dogs in my neighborhood as well. I currently have two kittens of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to care for your pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your animals, give them lots of attention and affection, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work during the day, but I often have free time in the evenings and on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and quality care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I love making time for in my schedule. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, or just some company while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I currently have two kittens at home, so at this time I do not offer boarding or pet care in my own home. However, I do offer pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits in clients’ homes and would be happy to help care for your pets where they are most comfortable!
About: I’ve cared for many cats and dogs throughout my life, so I understand the amount of attention, patience, and love they need. I love all cats and dogs, big and small. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I’m available for pet care around my class and work schedule, with the most availability on Sundays, weekday mornings/evenings, and Saturday afternoons. I’m happy to coordinate based on your pet’s needs! I provide attentive, loving care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. For dog walks, I make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of attention and exercise. For drop-ins, I’ll provide fresh water, food if requested, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
About: Hi!! My name is Maddie and I have 3+ years of animal expirence. I volunteer at Richardson animal shelter and dog/cat sit all the time! I recently graduated from highschool so I am free all of the time now! I’m hoping for my animal/house sitting services to become a full time job for me!! I am constantly engaging with dogs whether that’s playing with them, petting them, going on walks, I am always engaging with them! I feed them on time and give lots of belly rubs!!
“Madiha was an amazing sitter, better than what we could have asked for. There were some hiccups on our end with the logistics and she was patient and understanding with us till we had it resolved. She took very good care of our two cats and went above and beyond to care for them, made sure their needs were met and they had company during our time away. She asked all the right questions and made sure she knew the best way to take care of our cats according to their own personalities. We highly recommend her for taking care of your pets and you will definitely have a peace of mind while you're away that your pets are in good hands!”
About: I loved dogs and cats since the day I was born, I'm more drawn to dogs then cats because that's who I been around the most. I've taken care of my close family and cousins pets whenever they needed someone to look after them and I enjoyed being there when they needed it the most. I work a part time job from Sunday - Thursday that last for 4 1/2 hours... 11:30am - 4 pm so looking after any pets fits perfectly into my schedule as I won't be away from them for too long, and I can walk and feed them early in the morning to make sure there well taken care of before I leave out to work. At my apartment home I look after every pet and give them all the attention they need, making sure they are well feed and have plenty of water to drink. Since I don't have a fence or back yard I do have a dog park that I can take them to as well as 4 outside parks around my neighborhood that I take them too.
“Jaya took Exception care of our pup while we were away . She was on time and sent us pics and videos every day . It was such a relief to know he is being taken care of so well while we are away.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and am comfortable handling dogs with different personalities and needs. I previously worked at PetSmart, where I cared for dogs by bathing them, cleaning their ears, trimming their nails, drying and brushing them. This taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s comfort and safety. As a stay at home mom I have a flexible schedule that lets me provide dependable pet care during the week. I occasionally help my mom for a few hours, but have plenty of time for walks and visits. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. It also gives me a nice way to earn extra income while doing something I love I treat every client’s home with respect and follow all instructions carefully, keep pets safe at all times and communicate promptly if any concerns arise.

Kelly is amazing. My pups are pretty quirky girls and she works perfectly w them. Her communication is top tier and puts me at ease when having to leave the pups. Weather was bad on this last one and she worked ro make sure I knew and made sure the girls were ok. Thank you !
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Princeton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $35 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,301 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
