“Thank you for taking such great care of our cats and home. We appreciate the directions being adhered to and respected as well as updates and pics of them while we were gone.”

About: I will take care of your pets as if they were my own and make sure they are safe and comfortable. I had a dog and now have two cats <3 I work from home and I’m also available during weekends. I can arrange my schedule to supervise pets, walk dogs or take care of pets in other homes I have two cats at home that can be separated if I’m hosting pets. I have many toys and beds for your pet to be comfortable and feel at home
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
About: I’ve always had a love and passion for animals of all kinds, but dogs are just so easy to love! I’ve helped take care of my friends and family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience walking, playing, bathing and watching dogs of all different shapes and sizes! I’m naturally an active person with a love for nature and the outdoors, making me the perfect companion for your furry friend ☺️ If you have any questions regarding my services please reach out. And, of course, if you’re interested let’s set up a meet and greet! I’m currently working part-time, so fitting in time with your fur babies before work (8am-10:30am) and after work (5pm-7:30pm) on the weekdays is no problem! Weekends are also a great option as my schedule is much more flexible. If you’re unsure about my availability don’t hesitate to ask. I will always be mindful and respectful of your home when dropping in, and intend to leave it just as I found it or better!
“Phoebe was an amazing help for my puppy! She is dependable and sends lots of pictures. I love that she brought some new toys for our puppy to play with - just like my daughter used to do when babysitting! Phoebe was great at communicating and a really delightful person. She will be my first choice for future needs!”
About: As a family of animal lovers, we provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your pets. My 11-year-old and 15-year-old children absolutely love animals and enjoy helping give them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. We have a large yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we make sure they get regular walks and exercise. Have had experience with animals, including a senior dog all my life. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule (adjust as needed), which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have a fence but will go out with your dog and take it for a walk. My kids look for dogs to pet and play with everywhere. Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.
About: I have helped take care of all types of dogs and cats from big to small since I was 17. I helped with dog sitter for a night or a week, pop in play dates, and walks. I work part time, so I have plenty of extra time that I would love to spend meeting and caring for new animals and helping their owners. I have one dog , Rosco and have a backyard for pups to play in. I love taking walks and playing outside. Love all types of animals, including dogs and cats.
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!
“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”
“Kasey was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend her. She definitely loves taking care of fur babies and it shows. I can’t even Thank her enough. Will definitely have her care for my babies again. Thank you so much Kasey❤️”
About: I currently have 2 dogs that I’ve trained from puppies. I’ve pet sit for my brother for the last 5 years. A day hasn’t gone by in the last 10 years that I’m not out walking dogs. I’ve cared for senior dogs as well as puppies and love them all. I currently work 2-3 days a week with a rotating schedule but am available every morning and night as well as most weekends. My schedule is extremely flexible. I have a fenced in yard in a great neighborhood. Both my dogs are extremely friendly and always looking for another friend to play with.
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember! My dog is currently a senior now at 8 years old, but still loves to play and cuddle like her young self! She has never bit a single person and only gives sweet licks. My cat is one of a kind, he snuggles with me and gives my hugs, but is able to play with my brother! I love training and seeming them grow into them selves! I care for my cat every single day, I give baths monthly, food daily, and treats on special occasions. My dog gets baths more frequently because of the mud from walks, but gets so much love and food as well. I will give your pets a lovely walk and will even bring a bonus treat if allowed! I will run with dogs or walk depending on what they would like to do, and even go to the park for a nice chill time under a tree!
About: I grew up many breeds and sizes of dogs around all ages taking care of all of them. Animals always love me and I always love them! I’m currently in draft school so I am available to take dogs out every 4 hrs between 7:30-2 and after that I’m available for walk and anything else! I will always be there for your fur babies. I will show them love and care while also completely their needs like walking feeding and anything else needed :)
“Lori is fantastic. She handled our elderly dogs with such great care. She followed all instructions to a tee. We love the fun stories she writes from our dogs’ point of view on each visit. We will definitely be utilizing her services again.”
“Thank you, Donna! First gravitated to Donna’s profile because she seem to be a cat lady! ? Lots of dog watchers but we were concerned to find just the right person for our our elderly crabby cat Tobey. Donna quickly fell in love with our old guy, redefining him a polite gentleman ???. She sat on the floor every visit and loved on him and even brought him a jar of catnip! She was trustworthy, dependable, experienced with elder cats, and very graciously followed all of his finicky instructions on fussy eating habits (clean dish, variety fish of the day preferences, and litter box tidy habits). Donna is a wonderful dog watcher too, but for this extended home alone vacation for Mr. crabby cat, she was the ideal choice. Watered summer flowers, was conscientious about packages and mail, communicated with us after a big storm and generally allowed us to enjoy our vacation without any worries about home. She is the best, and we recommend Donna highly!”
About: Alrighty WELL I love animals. I do. Who doesn’t? Besides serial killers. I have grown up with all kinds of animals - Yorkies, Maltese, bishon, black lab, yellow lab, pit bull (not the singer/rapper), bunnies, cats, pythons, tarantulas, lizards, fish, mice, rats, hamsters, cockatiel and two super mean cockatoos I am a business owner in Trenton and make my own schedule. I have no kids just animals so I'm very flexible. I live 2 minutes from my work so I can always run home or to your home for the pet. First off I actually insure my pets that’s how obsessed I am with them and I can’t even afford that but I will provide for them before me. My dog Prince lives up to his name he’s a rescue Yorkie mix and I treat him like a prince. The best foods, 3 walks a day that are about an hour long, I have a metal back scratcher to make sure he gets the best scritchin, and I like to squeeze his face and tell him I love him daily. I also have 2 cats - Buck & Doe and they are also rescues! Buck is the best boy ever and is a total lover boy. Doe lives in a closet (by choice) and only acknowledges I exist when I have treats. You win some you lose some.

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.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Trenton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
