“Gabrielle did a great job during her stay! We came home and everything was neat and tidy in the house. She was very patient with our older dog as we are still figuring out her medication for sundowners. She also did very well staying on top of medications with our cat as he was having issues when we left. Overall, great experience and I would use her services again.”
“Izzy is the best! They made Miles feel very comfortable during his first day without us, and he was very happy and tired when we came home. They also sent many great pictures and gave frequent updates. We will 100% be asking Izzy to sit again soon!”
About: I can train puppies to sit, stay, potty train also. I have always been an animal lover and get along great with any type of dog. Your dogs will have access to my backyard at all times. I am available from 8am-10pm at my house with drop offs. If you need an overnight watch I need at 48 hr notice ahead of time. I provide walks and can help train them with harnesses or just a leash. I am close to a nature trail for great walks and nice dog accepted parks. I can do dogs nails, bathing and brushing as far as grooming goes. If you have any special request not listed I am flexible. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members. Thanks!
About: I absolutely love animals . I have a yorkie , a German short haired , and a Frenchie! I also have 3 parrots . I can't have anymore animals so i’d love babysitting them. They would be in really good hands with me. I know how hard it is to find a sitter especially when going out of town, so I’d love to care for your pets even if it’s just a date night! I can come to your house. I absolutely love meeting new pets, and my daughter loves animals as well! I work full time , but love to do this part time as well!
“Ciera was amazing! She showed up on time. Asked questions in regards to care, schedule and special instructions. I like the fact that she works at a dog day care. So she's experienced. She left my home tidy and even brought in my packages. I will use her again.”
“It's always a little bit nerve racking leaving your fur babies and house entrusted to a stranger, but Lauri made it stress-free. She provided constant updates and pictures of my pups, which was greatly appreciated. Your pets will be in great hands in her care. I'll definitely be using her services in the future and would recommend Lauri to anyone!”
“Thanks so much again Lissa. Our three girls looked well taken care of. They can be a lot of work, but you are a pro. Your communication is fantastic. Loved getting the videos while we were away.”

I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies. I previously worked in a dog care setting where I gained hands-on experience supervising, feeding, exercising, and caring for multiple dogs. I am patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I am currently a substitute teacher, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the school year and full availability during the summer months. During the summer, I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to providing consistent care that fits your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and always ensure they are safe and secure during walks and visits. I communicate regularly with pet parents and am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I will treat your pet with the same care and love that I give my own dog.
About: I have lived with dogs almost all my life. I have worked with dogs of varying breeds and personalities.

If you are interested in a service, feel free to let me know. I also work weekends and holidays. I will treat your pup like one of my own, with attention and love. I can guarantee dogs safety, comfort, and fun. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am.

I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work a flexible accounting job. I have full availability on the weekends. I am open for dog walking or periodic check ins during the week. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow each pet’s routine closely.

“Nicole went above and beyond during the process of home boarding my dogs. I had 10000% trust in her before even watching my dogs. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will absolutely use her services in the future”
About: I have always had a love for dogs. From a young age I was responsible for taking care of my family's dog Sasha. Sasha was a very hyper miniature schnauzer mixed with a jack russell terror. I am currently a undergraduate college student and cannot afford to have a dog at this time but I would love to have my own. I provide dog sitting services in your home. I can perform baths and facilitate playtime and exercise. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. Throughout this job I can enjoy dogs that will bond with me as well as gain experience. I would love the opportunity to care for and connect with your furry friend when you're away!

I have experience taking care of senior animals, as well as administering oral medication! I genuinely enjoy taking care of and loving animals, and am looking forward to meeting yours. Thank you so much for considering me! I am currently a full-time student and have a part-time job, but I am fully available on the weekends, as well as nights on week days! I will take care of your pets as if they are my own! I feel that the most important part of pet-sitting is showing them that you care, and that they are not alone!

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Crystal. This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter since before COVID and since he has been going through chemotherapy, so needless to say we were feeling very anxious about it. From the moment we first spoke, Crystal put all of our worries at ease. She was extremely responsive and communicative from even before our meet and greet, and we could immediately see that our dog would be exceptionally well taken care of. While we were away, Crystal provided frequent updates and pictures. Our dog can be a big handful (super dog reactive; complicated medication regime etc.), but Crystal made us feel SO comfortable and we were extremely confident that our pup was in great hands. She left our house cleaner than when we even left, and our dog clearly loved his time with her. We are so grateful for Crystal and will definitely be seeking out her help again!!!”
“Khelsi is truly the best. I was extremely nervous leaving my little man with someone new. My previous sitter, who was not Rover-related, was not the best fit. Khelsi came to the rescue. She's extremely professional, attentive, and caring. I travel for work and am over the moon to have found her. 10/5 stars.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Trenton is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,830 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trenton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
