“Catrina had immediate rapport with my 2 cats and did a great job with updates and pictures. Since one of the cats was new to the household and had only been with the resident cat about 5 weeks I really appreciated the information as I was nervous leaving them alone. Catrina played with them and took good care of food and litter boxes. Everything was neat and clean and the cats were happy when I got home.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and I honestly can’t imagine it any other way! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have had my own horse since I was 12. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and over the years, I’ve learned a lot about their care, health, and individual needs through caring for my own horse and pets. I truly love spending time with animals and getting to know their different personalities. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, get some extra cuddles, or just have someone around while you’re away, I’d love to be that person for them! I’m also a Registered Nurse at RWJBarnabas, so I’m responsible, attentive, and comfortable handling situations that require a little extra care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 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 offer walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m flexible and happy to work with their routine and personalities!
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!
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds! I grew up with two dogs, chickens, ducks and I currently have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own. I have previously pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for both cats and dogs. I am comfortable with daily pet care, including feeding, grooming, walking, cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering medications, including injections, and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, or scales, I strive to provide attention, reliable, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I want both you and your pets to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away! I work full-time from home as a customer service agent, generally between 10 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Friday. Because my job is remote, I have flexibility throughout the day to accommodate pet care needs, check in on your pets, and provide attention and companionship while you’re away. I’m available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved animals. I have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own, so I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities.
“Victoria was a fantastic sitter! She communicated daily on how my cat was doing, was detailed with her communications, and was overall very friendly. I would highly recommend her and would definitely book her again.”
“Xingcheng was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. She took wonderful care of my dog and made sure I was updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Xingcheng to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation.”
“Ryan & Shannon were absolutely wonderful to work with. I am so grateful we booked them for our senior cat. They were so easy to connect with and fast to respond, and just lovely in person. We booked them for 30 min drop ins while we were away, and it was a great experience. We got daily photos and updates, they loved on our girl, and they gave her all her meds. If/when we need a cat sitter again, I will absolutely reach out to Ryan & Shannon first.”
“Abigail is an amazing kitty sitter! She really went above and beyond to make my shy cat comfortable. I came back to a clean house and happy cats. Will definitely hire again!”
“Meena has been an absolute god-send to me & more importantly our dog Jackson. Meena truly cares and her approach is professional & loving. Her communication is timely and I really appreciate that our dog, who is visually impaired and a diabetic. is so well cared for when being watched by Meena. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hello all! I have previous experience caring for a hamster and am currently the proud owner of an American Pit Bull Terrier. I’m passionate about training, grooming, and overall animal care, and I’m always refining my skills. I work in healthcare and fitness, so I’m active, hands-on, and detail-oriented. My strong work ethic, communication skills, and personable nature allow me to build great relationships with both people and their furry friends! I have open and flexible weekend availability, and I’m available most weekday evenings as well. I also enjoy working early morning shifts and am happy to accommodate those when needed. I love outdoor walks and playtime—I have stamina for days! I’m also comfortable handling grooming, as I do all of my own pet’s grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and always want pets to feel comfortable, enriched, well-rested, fed, and, most importantly, loved.
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!
“Sharon was sincere and loving to my cats. She came on time and was accommodating, and even went above and beyond. Looking forward to working with her again!”
“Thank you so much! I asked for a visit last minute and I’m so happy Yasmine was available. They did everything I asked for, most importantly paying attention to my beautiful Nola. I’m very grateful.”
“Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!”

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!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Princeton Junction is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $43 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 5,033 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Princeton Junction. 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 Junction. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
