“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.”

Because I am always around on my pet sitting days, your pet will receive constant attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship.To ensure your pup feels right at home, I just ask that you provide a clear description of their daily routine and care needs (feeding schedules, bathroom habits, or special quirks) when booking!

My apartment itself is spacious, clean, and has plenty of room for your pup to stretch out, play, or curl up for a nap.Outside, we are blessed with beautiful green spaces and walking paths right at our doorstep, making it easy to go for long, leisurely walks.

About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either. I'm currently a college student doing online classes so I have plenty of time to drop by a clients house or to have them come to mine. Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them

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.

About: As a dog owner myself, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal isn’t just to walk your pup—it’s to make sure they come home happy, safe, and mentally fulfilled As a dog owner myself, caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily routine. I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while their owners have peace of mind. I know how important it is to run on a strict schedule. As I own a dog myself, she too is provided with strict feeding and walking times that fit our schedule. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is treated with the same care and respect!

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.

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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Princeton Junction on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $43 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 5,039 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 .

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 , 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 .

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.
