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.
“Catrina was absolutely wonderful with Remy and Rosie! From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, and attentive to both of their different personalities. Rosie can be a little shy at first and gets very excited for walks, while Remy is a big sweetheart who loves attention, and Catrina handled them both so well. She followed all of our care instructions, made sure they were well taken care of, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated all the updates and adorable photos she sent—they truly made our day and reassured us that our pups were happy and comfortable. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Catrina to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Remy and Rosie! ❤️🐾”
“Anne took great care of our dog. We were reluctant to leave him because he is an elderly dog and gets very anxious when we go away. We are very glad we found Anne as she was so good with him! She kept him on his schedule and kept us well-informed on how he was doing. It put us at ease knowing he was being well-cared for and very evident when we came home to our happy boy! I would highly recommend Anne as she is a loving and caring pet sitter. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Nina was great with our cat. She is 100% reliable, always showing up on schedule and staying for the full duration of her appointment. She engaged well with our shy cat, and he warmed up to her and began building more trust in her - flopping onto his side, eating when she was here, looking like he was ready to play. We will definitely use her again!”
“Abigail is absolutely wonderful!! She’s patient and calm with my dog who is wary of strangers. She has been incredibly flexible with my schedule and is very reliable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“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!”
“Scott was a great sitter while we were away for a couple of weeks. Professional, easy to work with, and bonded well with our cats. Will definitely reach out again next time we're away. Thanks Scott!”
About: Growing up with dogs, I've always been comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I'm active, reliable, and enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog is different, so will work with you to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm committed to being dependable, communicative, and attentive, giving owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me four full days off with plenty of flexibility to care for pets. On my days off, I have the time and energy to provide attentive care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their safety, ensure they have plenty of exercise, fresh water, and affection, and make sure they are always secure during walks and outdoor activities. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide frequent updates and photos throughout my visits. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing - I love sharing pictures and keeping owners informed so they can feel confident their dog is happy, safe, and having a great time.
“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!”
“Heather did a wonderful job caring for our little dog at our hotel. She came by the day beforehand at no charge to meet our dog and was wonderful. I recommend Heather highly.”
“Jennifer is so reliable, flexible and always goes above and beyond. We are so lucky to have found her! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I'm a very caring animal lover and have been house and dog sitting for years. I've had my dog since she was a puppy so I have the experience to care for dogs of all ages. My dog is extremely active so I dont have any problem keeping up with pets of any activity level. I've been to training with my dog and am able to use the skills I've learned with my dog to any pet. I've dog sat for multiple dogs at once with different health issues and dietary restrictions. I'm very meticulous when it comes to your pet's health including medication regimens and special dietary needs. I treat all animals as if they were my own. My main goal while caring for your pet is to keep your pet safe, happy and healthy. I work Mon-Fri 9-5pm so I only pet sit on the weekends to ensure your furry baby gets all the walks, playtime and attention they deserve. My goal is to provide your pet with the same enviroment they would recieve at home. We are away from main roads and have access to a fenced dog park.

Keiko is amazing! She took such great care of my 3 kitties and did a wonderful job overall. She was extremely patient with my cats, took wonderful photos, and had great communication during and after each visit! She made me feel very comfortable leaving my cats in her care while I was away. I truly appreciated her going above and beyond and all of her help. Thank you Keiko!
Martha took such incredible care of Bitty while I was away. This was my first time leaving her home alone for an extended period, and I was nervous because she’s an older cat and has been through a lot. Martha immediately put me at ease with the sweetest, most detailed updates written from Bitty’s perspective, along with tons of photos from every visit. You could tell she genuinely cared about Bitty’s comfort, routine, and emotional wellbeing — not just the basics of feeding and litter. She spent real quality time with her brushing her, cleaning her face gently when Bitty allowed it, sitting with her on the couch, and even letting Bitty nap on her lap during visits. The updates were thoughtful, funny, and reassuring, and I could tell Martha was paying close attention to Bitty’s eating, drinking, litter box habits, mood, and behavior. By the end of the visits, Bitty was clearly comfortable and attached to her, which says everything. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and I’m so grateful. I would absolutely trust Martha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, patient, communicative, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing.
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 .

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:
- 89% 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.
