“Jaclyn was AMAZING! I have a very sensitive pup and she really took to Jaclyn. They bonded and she kept me updated on how Daisy was doin while we were out. The sense of ease and happiness I felt was unmatched. Will ALWAYS USE JACLYN!”
“Marcela did a fabulous job taking care of Chesty while I was out of town. She always kept me informed, asked questions when needed, and showed genuine attention and care for him. Could not have asked for a better sitter. Will definitely seek her services again!”
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: I have had pets my whole life. I have been around dogs and cats and have taken care of friends and family's pets. I volunteered at the animal shelter in Mckinney for 2 years. I currently am fostering a friend's two cats while they get back on their feet. I have a corgi that I have had since a puppy and two cats. I currently work Monday-Friday 7:30am to 4:00pm, but I work from home which gives me flexibility to watch your pet. If booking for a house sit, then I need an office set up with at least one monitor to hook my laptop up so that I can work from your home. If you are not able to provide that, then your pet must be okay with being left alone for the hours that I am at work. I can do overnights if needed, but only if booked with advance notice due to me having a family. If a pet comes to my home I have a fenced backyard with a corgi that loves other dogs and cats. I have plenty of dog and cat toys. My cats, also, don't mind other pets.
“Ariana is fantastic! She helped us out on short notice and is a wonderful professional. Her daily updates were consistently done like clockwork. We felt so good knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Ariana ! We will definitely call you again! Kelli & Sierra (woof!)”
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.

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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
We were searching for someone who had experience with special need cats, and found Jaclyn right on time! During her visits, she successfully gave medication to one of my cat with epilepsy, as well as made my other kitties feel comfortable. She was punctual and thorough, and went above and beyond by cleaning around the bowls and litter boxes. We will definitely book Jaclyn again and highly recommended her!
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!
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.
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!
Kimberly was great with our cats! She was always on time, sent us photos, and kept us updated with any changes. She was very attentive with giving medication to our one cat and adjusted her approach until she accepted the medicine. Would 1000% recommend Kimberly!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Princeton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 5,568 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 93% 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.
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.
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.
