About: I've cared for dogs and other pets for many years, including feeding, walking, grooming, cleaning, and providing enrichment. I have hands-on experience with dogs, personalities, and needs, and I'm trained in dog body language, learning theory, basic manners, introductions, advanced skills, and unwanted behaviors. Through volunteering at Paws of War ENC, P.A.W.S. Animal Shelter, Adoption First Animal Rescue, and caring for pets for friends, family, and others, I've developed a patient, compassionate approach to animal care. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I'm available Friday, Sat, Sun, Mon & Tues (each day after 2 pm) to give your pets devoted time. I am available from 6 am to 10 pm on Wednesdays. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have experience with pet sitting and dog training, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines, reinforcing positive behavior, and providing patient compassionate care. Whether caring for your pet at your home or during walks and visits, I'll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and affection, and ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for. I can also administer medications, accommodate special care needs, and crate your dog if you request it.
“Absolutely amazing experience with Jacob! 🌟 He was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared for my pet like they were his own. I had total peace of mind knowing everything was handled with so much attention and kindness. I would 100% trust Jacob again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch care. Thanks again, Jacob! 🐾💛”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have grown up with both dogs and cats! I have been surrounded by them whether it be them being my own pets( or should I say my own family members because let’s face it, they are our family), my relatives house and even my neighbors house when babysitting. I know it can be hard leaving your fur baby alone, I just hope that I can make them and you comfortable! I am a full time teacher at Camp Lejeune! I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm so I am available weekdays after 5:45 pm and then all weekend long. I take hour lunches so if in a nearby neighborhood I can let them out during the day or frequently on the weekends! In order to keep you and them at the most comfortable, I am able to house sit and take care of them in the comfort of your own home. I am 100% honest so that everyone has a happy, healthy and most importantly and safe stay!
About: I’ve always had dogs in the home since I was little. I can help train your dogs tricks if you’d like or just be another loving person to keep an eye on your animals as they are family! I’ve taken care of horses, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards and the occasional birds! Currently looking to make this my full time job so I’ll have plenty of availability to take care of your beloved pets! As long as I have no prior engagements! I can crate your dog if needed. I don’t have a fenced in backyard yet but more than willing to take them out on leash walk them around and play with them! Maybe even teach some new tricks!
“Hannah is absolutely wonderful! She is such a kind, caring, and dependable dog sitter, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of my pups. Her communication is amazing, and she always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She is incredibly attentive to the dogs and really takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She’s also so easy-going and flexible, which I appreciate more than I can say. Plans change, things come up, and Hannah is always so understanding and willing to adapt without ever making you feel like you’re a burden. Most importantly, I can tell that she genuinely loves animals and treats my dogs like they’re her own. I never have to worry when they’re with her, and that is priceless. I would recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and just genuinely wonderful to have taking care of their pets. ❤️”
About: I have a very well happily trained service animal that helps other animals and people keeping everyone happy. My goal is to always keep the animal happy while being trained. Every walk is to bring happiness to the animal. Every drop in visit is to bring an animal a peace of mind an happiness. My hope is to always bring the owner a peace of mind along with the animal an a genuine happiness at the end of the day so that every animal and owner can feel at peace. Overnight stays I hope to just give peace at mind to Owners and animals, if there are every any concerns I will always send photos of the animals doing daily things at their usual times. I am currently in school for my bachelors and work a full time job. However, I always make time to take my pups on close to a mile walk a day. Along with 30 min of training on necessary manners and any tricks we are working on at the time. They get fed 2 times a day with appropriate vitamins and supplements for each of my animals! I always check with owners about any toys that they have along with any children toys in the home that I need to be aware of or smaller items they could choke on or get into.
About: I’m happy to serve Carteret County. I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals - dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc. I’ve always loved animals. I also have experience with animals with special needs. I am interested in walking dogs and checking in on pets. I work full time, but am available on my days off and in mornings or afternoons after my regular job. I am available most weekends. For now, I plan to do drop ins and walk dogs. Safety is top priority. I believe in meet and greets before working with animals to make sure the animal and owner is comfortable. I work full time and available most evenings and on my days off. Message me to check my availability. I am usually pretty flexible with my schedule! I am currently not able to accept animals in my own home. I may be able to offer this service in the future, but not at this time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 785 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Trenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
