“This was our first time having Ryan and Shannon take care of of pups! They were great, awesome pictures and great communication. Will definitely be using them again when we need dog coverage!!”
“Lyla is amazing, she genuinely loves cats, and our cat loves Lyla! She goes above and beyond with everything. Now the only thing that we worry about is when Lyla graduates and can't do cat sitting anymore...”
About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!
“Melanie is fantastic and did a great job watching Rio! Melanie sent various updates while watching Rio, including pictures, and gave him his medicine. Rio had a great time and definitely wants Melanie to come back again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I often was responsible for watching, feeding, walking, and bathing my dogs. I also would care for other people’s dogs and stop in for a short while or to watch a home and care for a dog or two. I love animals in all shapes and sizes and would love to care for your furry friend(s)! I’m currently unemployed which makes me extremely flexible! I am looking to find full time work but the summer is a hard time to do so. I am also looking to become more active and what better way than with dogs! I live in apartment living with my boyfriend who works from home. I walk my beagle Strawberry several times a day. Strawberry is on a very tight schedule when it comes to food and walks which allows me to use time management. In your home I’d like to behave and treat your dogs just as you do. I think it’s very important to know the schedule which needs to be kept.
“Eliza was great at caring for our cat, two parakeet birds, one betta fish, and two snails for three weeks! Thank you so much, Eliza, and see you next time when we are out of town!”
About: I have some experience with dogs. I don’t mind cleaning up after any dog. I also enjoy going for walks and playing fetch with dogs. I am currently a college student at Rider University. I have almost full availability to care for your precious fur baby. I’m available both before and after class as well as many nights. I can easily care for your fur baby with any directions left. I will be able to spend time and play with them while also making sure they are comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life including 4 dogs of my own, local neighbors dogs and overnight care and drop ins for my friends dogs My schedule is fully open to stop by and take care of your dogs. I can do drop ins, take your dog to the park, and take them for short or long walks. I will care for your dog like they are my own. Lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of attention. Dogs deserve the world.
“Boryana was very attentive to our kitties and made time to play with them. We appreciated the detailed updates and pictures. She took care of everything and made us feel at ease while away from our fur babies.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for years and have helped care for senior pets, as well as friends’ and family’s dogs and cats. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Dogs are my absolute favorite. I’m a college student at Rutgers and currently on a long break, so I’m around for most of it and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. At home, I care for my own 5-year-old Cockapoo who is shy, so I’m very attentive to each pet’s comfort level and needs. I keep a clean, safe space and can crate dogs if needed to make sure everyone feels secure.
“Emily was great! She checked up on my kitty when I was out of town. She did an awesome job spending some time with him and making sure he had his food and water along with updates and pictures. Thank you Emily!”
“Camryn was so helpful checking in on our cat Chester this weekend! She sent us lovely pictures each day and a detailed update so we knew he was doing well. We really appreciated her clear communication and she was so sweet with our kitty!”
“Marcela was wonderful with my dog! As stubborn as my dog is she was patient, kind and kept me up to date on all the walks. I highly recommend her and hope to have her walk my dog again!”
About: I have two cats of my own who I have taken care of for 4 years! Along with that I frequently walk and dog sit for neighbors who go on vacation! I also volunteer at the nearby animal shelter! I currently only work a part time job some days a week leaving me plenty of time! My work schedule is flexible in case of any emergencies as well! I don’t mind early morning visits or late ones! I’ll follow any instructions given! I’m very patient so if you have a shy pet, no worries! I’ll let them warm up to me no pressure at all! If they want to play, perfect! If they just want to sleep, that’s also okay! I’m super flexible and can adapt to any situation.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have spent time with puppies right out of the womb and old dogs in their last years (and every age in between). I am excited to give your dog the love and care that they deserve. :) I currently work part-time. At most, I will be leaving your dog 4-5 hours at a time, but often, I can be with them all day. Reach out, and we can see what kind of care your dog needs! I will always want to work with your plan for keeping your pet safe, since you know them best. Your dog will be well-loved and cared for with me.
“Sha was a really great pet sitter for Kulfi. It was easy to communicate with her even during the midst of the holidays which are a very busy time, and everything went really smoothly. Thank you so much!”
“Patricia was absolutely wonderful to my cats while I was on a work trip. They took to her right away. She catered to thier individual personalities. I also got a bunch of photos and a couple videos while I was away. It made me really happy to see them play while I was away.”

It was a pleasure to have Nicholas take care of our dog, Axle. During our leave, he visited Axle at home, played with him and walked him daily. Nicholas is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch Axle again in the future.

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 Junction 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 Junction 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 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 Junction with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
