About: an animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I’m comfortable giving medication and have hands-on experience with senior and rehabilitating animals. I have 4 dogs and 4 cats of my own, so I know how to keep pets happy, safe, and loved Since I work in a school district, I’m available during weekends, holidays, and school breaks—the perfect time to give your pets extra attention and care. I can stop by in the evenings as well. I am very aware all animals have different personalities and I will accommodate to them depending on their needs, behaviors , and overall goals. Cant wait to meet them!

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for over 15 years and truly love every personality, different breeds , and sizes- from playful puppies to shy senior cats and dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I’m available seven days a week for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care.My calm, pet‑free home is ideal for cat boarding, offering cozy resting spots and a clean, quiet environment. I follow feeding schedules, litter preferences, and medication instructions closely. For dogs, I provide reliable walks, check‑ins, and overnight stays in your home, keeping their routine consistent and stress‑free. I’m gentle with anxious pets, patient with seniors, and always send photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family is safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently self‑employed and make my own schedule, which means I’m extremely flexible and available seven days a week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home often, able to adjust my day around visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule. Whether you need early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last‑minute support, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of timing needs. I care for pets with a calm, gentle, and detail‑oriented approach. In your home, I follow your routines exactly! Feeding schedules, potty breaks, litter care, walks, medication instructions, and any special notes you provide. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I offer a quiet, pet‑free environment that is especially ideal for cats. I have cozy resting spots, safe areas for exploration, and a clean setup ready for boarding. Most owners bring their cat’s preferred litter box, litter, food, and carrier, but I also keep a clean backup litter box and extra litter available if needed. I move slowly with shy or anxious pets, give them space to warm up, and always prioritize their comfort. I send consistent photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: My fiancé and I were born pup lovers! We currently have one dog with plans to get more in the future. We would love to offer you some peace of mind by taking care of your beloved furry friends with our five star service. I work from home which gives me the capacity to cater to your dogs in between meetings and emails. I’m also at home most weekends and holidays so we can always make it work! I have a large fenced backyard which is a doggie paradise. I have one medium dog that is super friendly and always looking to make new furry friends. I can also crate your dog up if needed.
“Wonderful person. My dogs are obsessed with her (2 huskys). She is very timely, friendly, and trustworthy. She is a must pick for your dogs. She will ensure your dog is well taken care of and meet any of its medical needs. My family will pay her for as long as she continues this line of work. Picking her is your best decision :)”

About: I’ve had dogs & cats for 30 plus years. I also have mini horses and alpacas. I’m used to anxious animals and seniors too. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have flexibility most weekdays and some weekends. I homeschooled my kids and now just enjoying my time with my own menagerie of animals and yours! I have 4 acres a barn and a fenced area for my dog. If I need to bring your dog here, it could be possible.

“Courtney is amazing. I could not have asked for more from someone. She cared for my companion with much love and always did her best to do her best. She is willing to do more than just walk your companion; she gives them love and attention. She treats them very well. I never had an issue with her attendance either; she was extremely reliable! If you are in need of someone to care for your companion; consider Courtney, you will not be disappointed.”


About: I genuinely care about the pets I look after. I don’t just “watch” animals — I build a bond with them. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for playful puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra tenderness, slower walks, or help with medications. I’m especially good with pets that are shy, anxious, or adjusting to new environments — I move at their pace and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’m very detail-oriented with feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and special instructions, and I always keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing — you’ll know they’re being cared for with love and attention. Your pet will be treated like part of my family, not just another booking. 🐾 Pet care fits beautifully into my daily routine because I’m a stay-at-home wife and attend school online, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time. I’m home most of the day, so the pets I care for get constant attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to build my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning routines, midday walks, medication times, or evening cuddle sessions. Because I’m not rushing off to an office or away for long hours, your pet gets the consistency and supervision they deserve. In my home, pets are never an afterthought — they’re part of my day. And yes, they usually become part of my heart too. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I follow your routines and instructions closely so your pet feels relaxed, secure, and right at home. At the moment, I don’t have any pets or children, which means your pet gets my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My home is very spacious — it’s essentially an entire home just for the pets I’m caring for. There’s plenty of room to move around, relax, and play without feeling crowded or overwhelmed. I keep everything clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m very careful with doors, leashes, feeding, and supervision. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and stay alert to keep them safe at all times. In your home, I treat your space with respect and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and happy. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease, and for your pet to feel loved, safe, and right at home.
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
About: Hi! 🥰 My name is Rachael! I am a very energetic, patient, and creative person who lives to love and be around animals. Dogs are my favorite animal! I have cared for animals for 13 years. I’ve grown up around many other animals as well and cared for them. Such as cats, fish, and some reptiles. I do offer to bathe your babies if needed. With me, your children will receive appropriate care. Personally, I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, and always just a phone call away, face time is also available so minimum supervision is required. With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, fun, and stable environment for your sweet babies!! I look forward to hearing from your families soon! 🐶🥰 I’m currently enrolled at James Madison High School. I do have a lot of free time right now until I reach my money savings goal to continue school. I’m not providing care for animals in my home right away but will provide care in my home as soon as possible for both cats & dogs.

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.
“Ava has started regularly walking my dog Luna while I am at work during the week. She is doing a fantastic job and she has been a life saver for Luna and me since I cannot come home during the day anymore. She is communicative, flexible, and always gives detailed updates and great pictures. I can trust that Luna is in great care with Ava! Thank you!!!”

“Mary is extremely dependable and flexible. She is amazing with both of my older dogs and there is a noticeable difference in their behavior after Mary has come by to play with them. They seem happier, and that makes me happier, too.”
About: Ever since I was young , I have been around all sorts of animals and taking care of them. I help take care of my senior cocker spaniel. I raised two guinea pigs, a rabbit, dogs, cats, kittens, hamsters, fish, and birds. I went into the professional business as a Pet bather At a dog boarding facility and later started working in a veterinary clinic as a caregiver/nurse. I currently work from home so I have full-time availability to take out dogs as much as needed. Give them proper attention, playtime, outdoor activities and walks. I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs that love to play. I know how to follow routines and take them out early in the morning until late at night making sure they are fed happy and out of extra energy.
“We’ve had a wonderful experience! Rachel is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares so much about our dog. We always feel confident knowing our pup is in great hands. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have been dog sitting when I could. I retired from teaching after 29 years so now I have more time available to take care of more dogs. I am retired so I am home most days. We have a large fenced yard so dogs are safe. Your pup will get lots of one on one time and snuggles. I have a fenced clean yard. My dogs are very friendly but also have areas for quiet time if that is needed. If you prefer to stay at your house that is fine too. Retired teacher so my days are pretty open.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Each of them have something different that makes them lovable and special. Watching or walking dogs never seems to be a job for me because time goes by fast when you are having fun! I, myself had a German Shepherd, he passed away this last December. I work from home, just need wifi to hang out with your babies. I take meetings occasionally throughout the day, woofs and pets are always welcome. I have a two mainecoon cats. Both are very social and friendly. They both have been around a fair share of dogs and even a parrot.

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.

We can discuss the time, which is comfortable for you, I am flexible. My home is calm, cozy environment where tail wags and purrs are always welcome.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Princeton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
