“Jaclyn was punctual, attentive, and so kind to our animals (2 cats, 1 dog. And a turtle). Her updates kept me feeling good about our choice, as this was the first time our dog stayed home over a vacation (we used to just kennel, and he can be alot). She loved on our kitties and played with our pup to help his energetic self happy, she even hand fed him when he protested by not eating. Will definitely use again!”
“My little girl is anxious but Savannah did amazing! She was so patient and even came to meet Stella (my dog) beforehand so everyone was safe and comfortable. Couldn’t be happier! Savannah went above and beyond. Thank you so much for taking care of Stella!”
“We have a very grumpy senior cat. Samantha is one of the only humans on this planet he snuggles, but it wasn’t easy in the beginning. She is so patient and kind. Always shows up and goes the extra mile to care for our cat.”
“Kelly is amazing! She took care of our babies during our wedding weekend and made sure to send pictures. We so appreciate it and if you’re looking for an amazing sitter for your fur babies she is your girl!”
“Lindsey is the best, hands down! She gave very detailed update and spent a lot of time loving on my dog. Unfortunately, she had to clean up several potty messes and brought her own cleaning supplies and left a paper towel roll for me since I was out at home. Lindsey is absolutely the best rover sitter I’ve experienced and I will book again. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Courtney did an amazing job with our girls during the drop in visits at our home! She followed our instructions carefully, kept us updated on how they were doing, and always sent photos and Rover cards after each visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing the girls were in great hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Adrienne was great with my 2 dogs! They both took to her immediately and her communication was great about how the visit went. She also sent lots of pictures and I can see that my dogs were very comfortable with her. She also has experience with dogs with a more special needs because my older gal has cancer, and has had a major surgery and she was very attentive to all of that. I will be using her as often as I can!”
“Mary did an amazing job! While we were on our trip, several states away, our AC broke and Mary went above and beyond to look after our pets while we tried to coordinate a repair. With all that stress, knowing someone was doing such a good job looking after our pets was so appreciated.”
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.
“Blake is truly outstanding! She did everything as instructed and did an excellent job keeping us apprised. She was very attentive to our three cats, devoting time to playing and snuggling. She even managed to befriend our shy cat who often goes AWOL when strangers are in the house. I highly recommend Blake.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Yuki! This was our first time using Rover, and we were pleased to see Yuki, who is usually anxious, be so comfortable with Louann. Thank you so much for giving Yuki such a good experience, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Tiffany took great care of our pets while we were gone. She even brought in packages while we were away. Our cats were happy to see us when we came home. She is professional and she knows how to take care of our fur family. Thank you Tiffany.”

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.
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!
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!!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Princeton on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,736 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
