“Debra was very accommodating with changes to the schedule and it shows how much she loves animals. My dog loved her and she made sure he was comfortable and safe while I was away!”
About: I have 2 dogs myself but I also take care of my friends and families animals alot too. both dogs and cats usually but I always enjoy it. im currently working part time though the week and want to do something i love for a bit of extra experience as well as money. I have a fenced in yard and two beagles that get along great with other dogs but one of them not so much big dogs but I will happily take care of your dog in your home!
“Cameron was a perfect match for our family and what we were looking for in a pet sitter. She kept us updated regularly, sent all of the pictures, always kept us in the loop if she was leaving the house. We came back to a clean house and a very happy puppy and cat. It took a lot of stress off of my plate knowing they were being taken care of by someone who loves them like her own! We will be booking with her again in the future for sure 😊”
“We left our dog and cat with Tony for 2 weeks and He sent us photos almost everyday When we came back from our vacation we saw both healthy, and Tony took care even of the house 100% approved and for sure we will call him again in the future”
“They're the best! I know I can rest assured my babies and my home are all in good hands. Book them but please check with me first lol in case I need them. What would I do without them? 😱”
“Alicia and her children did an amazing job with Chloe. The communication was prompt and consistent. I received many pictures while we were gone. It was the longest we’ve been away from our pup. She even stayed to comfort her during some fireworks while Chloe was very anxious. My plants were well cared for, too! My home was as we left it and Chloe was happy and healthy when we returned. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
About: I worked at two different holistic pet stores for two years combined, so I have extensive knowledge on pets, pet products and know several emergency vets and pet services in the Chattanooga and Nashville area. I have pet sat since I was 10 years old and done overnight house sitting stays since I was 17. I have had three dogs in my lifetime, and each one lived a long and happy life, including my 6 year old lab who stays with my parents in the Nashville area. I trained all my dogs, and my 6 year old lab has seperation anxiety, so I am aware of the quirks that dogs can have! I also had a cat when I was younger who was diagnosed with diabetes toward the end of her life, so I learned how to administer insulin shots on cats, which I'm sure transfers pretty well to dogs. I have cared for my own senior dogs, sold products to benefit senior dogs, and am fit enough to lift any dog that needs assistance getting into the house or car! I am very knowledgeable, responsible and very easy to get along with! I’m currently unemployed and trying to fill the gap while I look for something full-time. I have a husband that can take care of my animals so I can fully invest in pet-sitting right now! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m the type of person who will cross a street just to pet a cute dog or a stray cat. I’ve never met a pet I didn’t like, or that didn’t like me (which to me is the best testament to my character!)
“Aaron was fantastic with our zoo! We received pictures and updates each day about our 3 dogs and 3 birds while on vacation. He ensured they had food and clean water each day and even tackled the insanity of our feathered escape artists and overly excited shepherd. House sitting he definitely had his hands full but took great care of them and left the house just as clean as we left it. Communication was fantastic and we would definitely use him again!”
“We can't say enough good things about Rhonda. She is so wonderful, I truly have no worries about our house, or our animals while away. she is always our first call!”
“Ariana was AMAZING! Our sitter canceled on us with less than a months notice. We were very nervous but she was super kind and communicative! Our dogs lived her and we will definitely use her again!”
“Adria did a great job, she was very easy to work with and my dogs really liked her as well. She was punctual, easy to communicate with, friendly and professional. 5 stars!”
About: I have always been the person my family and friends go to when it comes to pet sitting. Im responsible and follow instructions to a T. I enjoy meeting new animals (especially cats, cat naps are the best) and giving you peace of mind while you are on vacation. I have sat with chihuahuas, yorkies, shitzus, beagles, huskies, Rottweilers, Dobermans, German shepherds and Chows for my family and friends. I don’t discriminate 🥰 I work a full time job in nashville 5 days a week. My shifts are 7-8 hours long. I prefer to house/pet sit because it keeps me from driving all over and allows more time taking care of your pet and less stress on myself. When I house/pet sit I ask for a schedule and normal daily activities. Every pet has a different routine. I follow the routine given to ease the stress on your dog/cat
“KB was so wonderful with our animals! Our pup can sometimes be standoffish, but they immediately loved KB. Her experience was evident and you should feel comfortable leaving your animals in her hands! We have three senior animals (a dog and two cats) and she took great care of them, including giving meds, providing exercise and walks, and sending frequent picture updates.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals so if you’re looking for a diversified animal sitter I’m your guy. On the farm I gained experience working with and caring for dogs and cats from birth to elderly. I’m a personal trainer in Nashville Tn on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you’re located in town I’m available to drop in periodically on those days and am available around the clock on all other days. If you’re outside of Nashville it may be as long as 8 hours that I’m away on M,W,F but I’m available around the clock on all other days. As an in home pet sitter I try to replicate the same schedule, play time, attention and care that your pets are accustomed to in order to reduce their stress while you are away.
“Patrick was amazing. Super communicative and kind. Sent pictures and videos of the pups. Gentle energy that made the pup calm right off the bat. I look forward to having him take care of my baby again.”
“Brandon watched our two dogs and two cats for a few nights. We appreciated Brandon’s daily pics and updates. We had no worries while he was there. He clearly loves animals. We would book Brandon again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 236 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Trenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
