“Tania is fabulous. I came home to a tidy house and happy dogs. She kept me up to date with photos and news on the pups daily. I will hire Tania again. This was also very last minute and I was able to trust her right away. I am very thankful I took a chance with Rover. It worked out well.”
“Andrea is an amazing dog sitter. My dog is highly anxious and reactive but is very happy and comfortable with Andrea. I came home to a happy dog and my house was cleaner than when I left it! Indie and I really hope Andrea will come stay again.”
“Bronte did a great job watching my two dogs over night. She left everything in order at the house and the dogs really liked her from the moment she came through the door. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Micki is an absolute God send! My husband and I were away for 8 nights on vacation to see our granddaughter and Micki stated with our two dogs Annie and Fergus. Annie is a 12 yr old Maltese and Fergus is a 2 yr old Goldendoodle. Both have the ability to be a handful in their own way. Micki cares for them with expertise, love, joy, individuality for each of them, and fun! She sent us pictures every day of what they were doing to keep us in the loop. She walks them, plays with them, and loves them. To top it off, our house was immaculate when we got home! We are so grateful for Micki in our life! ❤️”
“We highly recommend Lauren to watch your fur baby. We initially reached out to Lauren to see if she could watch our sweet old girl (19 y.o. dog); she responded within 15 minutes confirming that she was available. A few days before, Lauren stopped by our apartment to receive our key and meet our pup. She brought a notebook to write down all instructions / important notes. Her demeaning was soft and positive, and already we knew she was a great fit. On the day of our leave, Lauren was in regular correspondence about her timing and about activities with our girl. She took a few picture updates. Everything went very smooth. She clearly had no problem watching our elderly dog. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to watch your loved one fur pup, elderly or otherwise.”
About: Hello! My name is Laima and I have 6+ years of experience taking care of pups of all sizes and energy levels. I love spending time with dogs, whether they are a super chill snuggler or a high-energy adventurer. I’ve worked with well-trained ones (I sometimes care for my friend’s Canine Companion breeder dog) as well as rowdy ones who need a bit more attention. I lived in a home for over four years with two small dogs owned by the homeowners— I regularly took them on long walks around the neighborhood or cared for them full-time when the owners traveled. Currently, I live with housemates who have a tiny, 17-year old dog, who I care for when they’re away, which includes administering heart and lung medication. I also have experience taking care of my friends’ and housemates’ cats and absolutely love cats!😻 While I don’t personally own pets, I do find a lot of joy in caring for other people’s critters. I currently live in Sebastopol and work remotely full-time, which gives me quite a lot of flexibility. I’m oftentimes available Monday through Friday, with occasional weekends as well. I’m also happy to house-sit for longer periods and will work with you to make sure your pet’s needs are met. I’m reliable, attentive, responsible, and genuinely care about making sure your pets feel comfortable and loved. Before I start, I’ll take the time to fully understand their routine, feeding schedule, playtime preferences, and any other special needs.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I recently had to say goodbye to my 18-year old dog. My nickname is Snow White since animals are always drawn to me. I am looking for opportunities to house/pet sit October-January in Healdsburg, Windsor, and Santa Rosa. I work full-time in Healdsburg, 9-5, and am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends, October-January. I am well-versed in administering medication to dogs and cats. I love dogs and cats and have a lot of experience in caring for animals of all ages. Happy to take dogs on walks and love to send photos of your fur babies while staying with them.
“Thank you, Holly for your service in watching Ryder and being with him. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I loved the pictures you sent from the trips you made to the park. My brother said rides in the car are what he lives for. I appreciate your efforts to entertain him. It helps so much to be relieved knowing there is someone there for him. He gets lonely so easily.”
“Lexie is a wonderful dog sitter. She has tons of experience with and loves dogs, and they love her back. My girls were well taken care of during my recent trip, and Lexie kept in touch with me throughout my trip. I've already booked her for another stay!”
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“Casey was absolutely outstanding. My rescue kitty is not the easiest but Casey fed her and tended to her every need when I was away for the holiday. She was responsive and caring. I would highly recommend her!”
“Lilith was an amazing pet sitter! She watched our dog and home while we were gone. She sent us little text each day with updates and photos and was just such a kind person. We would definitely recommend her and would work with her again!”
“First time to use Rover for in home dog sitting. Rissa stayed with our finicky dog for 10 days and quickly won his heart. Rissa was flexible and quickly solved the unexpected issues. Her dog care background benefitted our dog and she added to his toy collection with toys he greatly appreciated. Rissa also took wonderful care of our house and garden in the midst of a heatwave. I fully appreciate and recommend Rissa and Rover.com.”

Rachel was so wonderful in every way! She took the best care of our home and our fur baby, Huck while we were away for our wedding. She was super communicative and sent lots of wonderful photos. It was clear how much Huck loved her!! We can’t wait to work with Rachel again soon.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Trenton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Trenton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Trenton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.
