“Kelly was wonderful! My shy, nervous dog was so comfortable with her (3 minutes into the first meeting, Cocoa was completely at ease with Kelly). Kelly communicates really well, so you always know when she's stopped by and how the visit went. I returned home to a happy, and well-exercised, dog. I highly recommend Kelly.”
“Catrina was a great dog walker/dog sitter for Bella. She provided ample updates with pictures and was very communicative. I completely trust her with Bella. Bella is also a big German Shepherd and she was able to walk her and feed her exactly as I would. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog.”
About: I've been caring for the pets of my family and friends for years, and I'm ready to give them a lot of love and care as they need it. Besides dogs, I'm also experienced in caring for cats, small animals, and chickens. I'm currently on summer break having just graduated from high school, so I have almost unlimited time to take care of your pets and a lot of flexibility. I'm active and can give your pet some lively exercise and play if needed, but I also have experience with older dogs and skittish dogs who need a gentler touch.
“Kassidy was wonderful for a drop in with our dog, attentive to both his needs and drying him off after a spot of rain. We also appreciated the pics of his walk/playtime!”
“Eliza was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad we found her. Our kitty is an older boy who is very skittish around new people. He warmed up to Eliza faster than he has with anyone before! She constantly played with him and brushed him while at our place, and I think he was sad when his playdates were over. Would absolutely recommend and book her again.”
“Katrina was great. Incredibly flexible and accommodating. She sent great updates and pics. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a stop in house dog sitter or walker.”
“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!”
“Heather did a great job looking after our pets while we are away for almost a month. We came home to a happy and well cared pets. She did amazing updating us on her every visit that includes photos and videos of our dog and cats. We were at peace knowing that our pets were in good hands. She’s very calm, gentle, and professional. Can’t recommend her enough! We will definitely book her again next time we need someone to check on our fur babies.”
“Photo evidence of a great visit with Abigail: my dog smiling and rolling around the grass, showing her belly. Abigail also made the effort for a meet & greet to help my dog feel safe with her prior to the drop-in. Thanks, Abigail!”
“I was able to go on a trip and leave my cat in Scott and Keiko's expert care. Keiko really loves animals and it definitely shows. She also gave really good updates daily and photos! I'll definitely ask Keiko to catsit on my future trips.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very first moment, it was clear that Ella truly understands cats—not just their routines, but their emotions, boundaries, and quiet language. My cats felt safe and genuinely cared for, which says everything. Ella has what I can only describe as soul cat energy: patient, intuitive, and deeply kind. She went above and beyond, not just making sure everything was done, but making sure my cats felt loved. Ella is a true star and a rare find.”
“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!!”
About: Since I was born, I have been surrounded by animals and have discovered my strong love for all types of them. I have had dogs and cats all of my life, and have had my own horse since I was 12. I have utilized the knowledge of veterinary care that I have learned while caring for my own horse with all animals. Caring for and spending time with animals is a passion of mine, and I would love to be able to share that with yours! I am also a Registered Nurse at RWJBarnabas. I work M-F 7:30AM-4PM. Weekends are free, however during the week if your pet needs to be let out during the day I will not be available unless it is before/after work. I’m happy to take your animals for walks outside of their yard, stay with them for the night, etc. I’m flexible and would love to do whatever fits best for your pet!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs every day since 2020, including my own 10-year-old Fox Terrier/Jack Russell mix (Finn) and my fiancé’s 9-year-old Jack Russell (Joep). With two energetic, small breeds at home, I’m very experienced in handling high-energy dogs, strong personalities, and daily routines like walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m 28 and work as an Assistant Store Manager at Giant, where I create my own schedule weekly—so I have a lot of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I’m reliable, structured, and used to responsibility, which carries over into how I care for pets. I’m especially comfortable with: • Small to medium dogs • High-energy breeds • Consistent routines and structure • Giving dogs attention, exercise, and patience I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, active, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible since I build it weekly as an Assistant Store Manager. I typically know my shifts in advance, which allows me to plan pet care around work. I’m available mornings, evenings, and often during the day depending on the week. On days off, I have full availability. I’m used to maintaining consistent routines with my own dogs, so I make sure walks, feeding, and attention always happen on time. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. At home, I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of anything pets could get into. I supervise interactions, stick to feeding and walking schedules, and pay attention to each dog’s behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. Communication is important to me, so I always keep owners updated and reachable.

Catrina was a great dog walker/dog sitter for Bella. She provided ample updates with pictures and was very communicative. I completely trust her with Bella. Bella is also a big German Shepherd and she was able to walk her and feed her exactly as I would. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog.
This is the second time I have booked Jill and I will definitely be reaching out to her for my future pet sitting needs. Jill is extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and all around a great person to work with. She was patient and won the trust of my very shy adult cat and kept me well informed with updates and pictures while I was out of town.
Martha was fabulous. Bodhi and Bandit loved her. She was very generous with her time and played with them a great deal. Great pictures and commentary about their day. She kept the house extremely clean. We felt very comfortable while away that our cats were well loved!
I’m so happy Anne was available last minute to walk my Beatrice. Even though she hasn’t seen her for a while, I knew that I had nothing to worry about and she would be so excited to Anne take care of her! I know it was really hot out, but Anne still took her on a really nice walk which I really appreciated (I have a feeling she had to really convince Bea to go on a longer walk😅). I got the cutest pictures and you can tell how happy she was!
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.

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 5,138 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Princeton Junction. 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 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.
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 Junction. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
