“Perri is so kind and professional! I was skeptical about using this service (first time user) and she made me a very comfotable by meeting up with me before-hand! She was very helpful and did a great job with my puppy!”
“Meridith was wonderful! My dog June can be a little shy at first but Meridith was so gentle and patient with June that she warmed up quickly! Meridith was very reliable and effective at communicating. I would definitely book her again to walk June.”
“Tanya always takes such good care of our pups and I look forward to the messages and pictures she shares after each visit. She takes the time to play with each dog and adjust to their needs. I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone in need of pet care services.”
“Cortney was perfect in her care for my fur baby. Being able to have two visits for my little Katya set my mind at ease as it was a longer trip than I would have normally taken. Katya got quality play time in, pets and snuggled, and fed the appropriate amount of food each day. Water and litter box were perfectly maintained. I am so happy I found Cortney and I will absolutely retain her pet sitting services in the future! Thank you, Cortney!”
About: I have owned pets my entire life. They are like kids to me. They are treated with respect and care equivalently so. I like pets more than humans. 😆 I own my own business and I work from home. I set my own schedule. I am very flexible. This allows me to give your pet lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have a Pet door into the yard so they can come and go freely, when they have the “need”.
“So far my experience has been that Pilgrim, my spoiled 16 yr old with kidney problems, is in safe and trystworthy hands with Emilee. She follows instructions confidently, writes wonderful feedback about her visit, and takes great pictures for Pilgrim's Rover card. I feel very very lucky that Emilee lives close by and is my catsitter of choice! She is a thoughtful, mature, cheery young lady. Thanks!!!”
“Baylee was so awesome taking care of our cat children! Very communicative. The updates were detailed and we loved getting photos of the cats in their various favorite lounging spots. We felt comforted knowing our pets were well cared for in our absence.”
About: I’ve grown up my whole life around animals, we had 2 Great Pyrenees and 2 Pitbull/Mastiff Mixes. I absolutely loved caring for them and playing with them. I dog sat all throughout highschool into college and now that I’m settled down in my own house I’ve realized how much I miss it! So I’m getting started on Rover hoping I can help care for your pups when you aren’t able to while doing something I love! I have a toddler and a 1 year old Blackmouth Curr/Terrier mix named Nala. Nala is the absolute sweetest and thrives around other dogs. I do ask that for boarding that your pup is good around other dogs and children! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my toddler and my pup! So I have the free time to be able to help with yours 😊 I have a very large fenced in yard and lots of room to take dogs out for walks and to play! If I am sitting or walking at your home I always make sure to keep notes as to what rules you have or what your pups routine is.
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
About: Hi! Scarlett Kelc, and caring for animals has always been one of my biggest passions. I truly love all animals, no matter their breed, size, age, or personality. If I could, I would probably adopt every animal I meet! I have spent my entire life around pets and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have two dogs and one cat of my own, and we recently welcomed our second dog into the family. We strongly believe in adopting from shelters and giving animals loving homes whenever possible. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide them with plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know leaving your pet can be stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind through dependable communication, regular updates, and lots of love for your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your amazing animals! My routine for my animals is every day after school I come home feed them take them out. Once every two weeks I give my dog a bath clipper nails. With still being in school I would make sure that any free time I have I would give all my attention to them. I am at school from eight to 3 o’clock every day weekends I’m completely free. I believe that a safe environment is very important. I feel like whoever I am sitting or whatever animal take care of their owner should be able to trust me. I would want the same for if anyone was doing that with my dog or animal. I want everything to be safe and I want it to feel like they are at home and there’s not a stranger in their home. I will take care of the pet like I’ll take care of my own pet.
“Did an amazing job. My original sitter(not from rover) fell through last minute. Molly was amazing with communication and even got my shy kitties to say hello. She was prompt with her drop in visits and I loved the photos they would send everyday. Will definitely ask for her service again in the future!”
“Amanda has been fantastic - she drove over before our initial dates to do a meet and greet with all of the animals as well as give us a chance to show her where everything was at. We had initially scheduled her for later dates but we had an emergency and needed her the next day over the holidays, and she was thankfully available. She sent photos and info everyday to check in and the kitties and chickens were all doing well upon our return. We will continue to have her back when we need longer term in home stays for our dogs as well!”
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout most of my life and am comfortable with a wide range of pets, personalities, sizes, and care needs. I grew up with a dachshund who was part of my family from age 8 until he passed away when I was 18, and I have also owned a cat. For six years, I regularly helped care for my roommate’s two elderly Miniature Schnauzers while she worked long nursing shifts. I frequently provided overnight care and handled more involved senior needs, including following detailed routines, cleaning up accidents, changing diapers, assisting with mobility, and keeping them comfortable and safe. I’ve also frequently pet-sat a friend’s young Goldendoodle, so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, active play, and walks that sometimes feel more like a run! In addition, I farm-sit for my stepsister and care for her ducks, chickens, two small indoor dogs, and four large Great Pyrenees working dogs. This has made me comfortable managing multiple animals at once, following feeding and outdoor routines, and caring for both small companion pets and very large working breeds. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly and in need of extra patience, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, making me available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, overnight house sitting, and weekend bookings. When caring for your pet, I prioritize keeping them on their normal routine and following any specific instructions you provide. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or needs extra attention due to age or special needs, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your booking. Weekday dog walks are available after 5:00 PM due to my full-time work schedule. I’m available mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight house sitting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every animal has different needs, and I take the time to carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any other preferences you have. My experience ranges from caring for senior dogs with special needs and diapers to energetic puppies, giant Great Pyrenees, indoor and outdoor cats, and farm animals. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets, maintaining a calm environment, and adapting to each animal’s personality. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, and I’ll always keep you informed with regular updates so you can enjoy your time away with confidence.
“Jamie has been such a savior to me and my little puppy. She comes every day during the week to make sure he gets out of his crate and gets some exercise. She is even working with him on commands. Her visits have allowed me to work without stressing about leaving him alone all day.”

About: I ABSOLUTELY love dogs. I actually love all animals, I do not discriminate. I have been around pets my whole life. I am very patient and understanding with them. I get along with them more than people. I can provide a fun safe environment while I care for your fur baby. My yard is pretty spacious and we are slowly trying to turn it into a small farm . I do prefer to play and keep them in the house for security purposes, that way they’re never unsupervised. While you are away, your fur baby will not be missing any cuddles or treats. Staying at my house is not like a traditional boarding place, it gives your pup an opportunity to be a part of my family while you are away. For any who think their pet is difficult with others, fear not for I will not give up on the opportunity to make a new friend. DON'T HESITATE TO ASK ABOUT OTHER PETS, I LOVE ALL ANIMALS AND AM WILLING TO CARE FOR ANY :) If you are using Rover for the first time, you can use my promo code to get $20 off your first booking.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Trenton on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 Trenton 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.

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.
