“Catrina was wonderful during the drop in visit for our mini dachshund! She was very respectful and paid attention to details during our meet and greet, and sent update & pictures after the visit to let us know how everything went. We felt very comfortable trusting Catrina to watch our pet. Definitely recommend!”
“Hannah was awesome and totally saved me and my pup in a last minute scheduling crisis! She was a great communicator and all went great! I would hire her again. Thank you Hannah!”
About: I grew up with several different dogs and animals of all kinds. I love any type of critter and in the past I have taken care of senior, young, and special needs animals, and love them all dearly. I just graduated and moved to New Jersey! Currently have a fully open schedule and need to fill up some time! Please contact me and I’d love to take care of your fur babies I always make sure that any animal I take care of is always safe and sound. I make sure to never let dogs out without a leash, and am always careful to make sure a cat never sneaks out the front door when going in and out. And I always make sure to remember things easily forgotten, such and changing out their water!
“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.”
“Sha provided fantastic care. She is extremely reliable, responds very aptly to any updates, and pays close attention to detail by following all of my specific instructions carefully. I would gladly book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Boryana did a great job looking after my cat (Spike) while I was away! She stopped in daily to take of him. She’s reliable, responsible, trustworthy & a great communicator. She loves animals and she treated Spike like her own. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets while you are away!”
About: I previously worked at Best Friends Pet Care. I worked there for two and a half years! I specialized there as a tiny camp counselor where I monitored a group of small to medium sized dogs for a few hours. I have experience handling, playing with and taking care of dogs from 2lbs to 150lbs, i’ve seen it all! I’ve also dealt with dogs of many ages from puppies to seniors. I have two family dogs of my own and currently have a cat with my partner and am my happiest when caring for fuzzy friends! I’m used to having an animal around 24/7 and wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently in between jobs after a move. I am now available Monday- Friday anywhere from 10am - 5pm! I have lots of time to be with your fur baby. I can communicate with you on whatever you need for your pets! Whether that involves walks/ medication/ crates/ play time etc. I am open to hearing your dog’s personal needs and helping how I can!
“Jaymin has been coming to look after our Coco while we’re at work this whole week. She’s been great at keeping us updated and checking in. Attentive to Coco and any requests we have. We will be starting recurring visits during our work days!”

About: ACCEPTING SAME DAY/ SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS Hello!! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))
“Ruth is the best. She is so reliable and good with our cats. I feel comfortable with having her do the difficult things like medication to giving them love while we’re away. And I love seeing the pictures.”
“Maia was awesome with our kitties - they warmed right up to her. She took very good care, was very responsive and communicative, and took lots of pictures. I’ll be very happy to use Maia again!”
About: Hello! My name is Victoria and I am a part time college student, full time animal lover. I have had pets all my life (dogs, a cat, fish, hermit crabs, and a bunny) and have yet to meet an animal I don’t love. Aside from my own pets, I have cared for (overnight stays, walks, daytime drops ins) for friends and family’s pets since I was in high school. Being that I only go to school part time, I have more time to spend with and care for my dog, and hopefully your furry friend too. I have personal experience with dogs as small as chihuahuas and as big as pit bulls and do not discriminate against any of them. On top of that, I have experience with dogs as young as two months old. I look forward to working with you and your furry friends!
About: I’ve dogsat for friends and coworkers many times before! I love their company, I think each dog has their own interesting personality so I’m excited to meet yours! I work M-F 9-4 but am free to walk your pup anytime after that and or dog-sit as needed! I’m usually at a park getting my steps in anyways, so I’d love to bring your dog with me next time! I can’t dog-sit in my new apartment unfortunately but I will gladly watch them at your house as needed! Please let me know! Thanks!
About: I am compassionate, patient, and attentive, with a genuine love for animals. I have a keen understanding of animal behavior, excellent communication skills, and are reliable in providing proper care, companionship, and safety for pets in my care. I have years of experience as a cat dad and often care for my best friend's dog. I am available most mornings and nights. Weekends will vary. Ideal hours would be before 1pm and after 9pm. Will possibly be available outside those hours on occasion. For in home sitting I typically prepare a space for the pet. I then stick to a regular schedule of feeding, walking, playtime.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton Junction
Ariane was really great to work with! Our normal pet watcher had something come up and we were trying to find a new watcher on short notice for a 2 week trip. Ariane was very friendly, and it is clear our dogs really liked her. She was also flexible with me asking to add on our cats when things came up like our autofeeder stopped working. We would absolutely recommend Ariane to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets and we will certainly be asking her to do so again in the future when need arises!
I went on a 2 week vacay to visit my family out of country so Natsu needed someone to check her out. Keiko did a fantastic job taking care of Natsu, taking extra care for her needs as well as spending time with her to keep her company. She also sent me photos and reports after every visit. I felt comfortable and relieved in another time zone knowing Natsu is in good hands. This meant a lot to me. Thank you so much Keiko/Scott, I really appreciate your help and will book again in the future!
Catrina truly is amazing!! She took such amazing care of our cat while we were away for a long period of time. She sent great updates, pictures, and truly treated our cat like it was hers. Our cat doesn’t love a lot of people and she was obsessed with Catrina. Highly recommend!
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.
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.

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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
