“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Ivelisse! She took such amazing care of Omen while I was away. She was kind, patient, and genuinely loved animals. She was so attentive to his needs, gave him lots of love and playtime, and even went out of her way to feed him when he ran out of food, something I truly appreciated. I felt completely at peace knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and caring with pets!”
“How I wish I could give Kathleen a 10-star review! The Thursday before a holiday weekend, we discovered our dog, Leia (3-year-old 70-pound German Shepherd) sprained her ankle. Our family had plans to be away for the weekend, including kid sporting events and other activities - family members going in separate directions, with the inability to change plans or bring Leia with us. Because of her sprained ankle, Leia could not go to a local kennel where we have boarded her in the past. I was in a panic after striking out with asking friends for recommendations for a care giver. Leia is not the kind of dog who can stay home by herself and be checked in on periodically. As I scrolled through rover.com, I found Kathleen - after reading her profile, I crossed my fingers she was available. I was thrilled to learn she was! I was so upset Leia was hurt and that I couldn't stay home with her that weekend. Kathleen put me at ease, assured me I needed to continue with our plans, and explained what Leia's weekend would be like -short walks to protect her ankle, time in the backyard, a great spot on the couch to look out large windows, and plenty of toys and snuggles. Leia did great! I received text updates from Kathleen about how she was doing and lots of pictures showing me Leia was very happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kathleen and look forward to her caring for Leia again in the future.”
“Nothing but wonderful things to say! We had never boarded our 12 year old Boston Terrier before and were very nervous about leaving her for almost a whole week. Monica took such wonderful care of her! She was very responsive to messages and sent us pictures and updates; Moxie settled in quickly and was very happy throughout her stay! Highly recommend Monica and her services. Will definitely rebook again in the future! Thank you, Monica!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my special-needs pup, Dottie, for 8 years. She’s on a strict diet and takes meds too, so I’m good with following precise instructions. I have a loving and serene home where Dottie and I can welcome your pup. I work from home on Fridays, so I am available for boarding for long weekends. We could coordinate a Thursday evening drop-off if need be. On the weekends, I go to a pilates class and run errands, but am otherwise around as company for the dogs. My yard is only partially fenced, so I will be taking the dogs on leashed walks. Dottie sleeps in bed with me, so it’s okay if your pup needs to as well. If your dog is crate-trained, that is okay too.
“We had never left Jake with a sitter so we were a little bit nervous. But at the moment we met Lauren and saw all her effort to make Jake feel welcome, we felt confident that he was in good hands. She kept me posted and sent pictures of him and he was very happy to be with Lauren. 100% recommended!!! I’m happy we found Lauren!”
“Rachel took great care of our 15 year old terrier mix Cookie. She sent photos and messages to us everyday we were away. She followed all our directions and I felt relaxed and at ease knowing Cookie was happy. How do I know? Rachel reported that Cookie didn’t want her to stop rubbing her belly. Cookie does not let most people rub her belly!! That said it all!”
“Angela baby sit our puppy this long weekend 💕 for three nights .We could not have wished anyone better than Angela to took care of our puppy like real child.

“Kim was so gentle and kind with my older dog. He can get nervous in new situations but I can tell he was totally comfortable with her which put my mind at ease while I was away. We received photos and updates every day and our dog looked so happy! I would definitely rebook with Kim in a heartbeat. Thank you for taking care of Rookie!”
“Thanks Carly and family for taking care of Neo and Cleo ! Both my dog and cat seemed to have enjoyed their stay at your home. Nothing is better than seeing your furry friends happy, safe and comfortable on your return after 8 days !!!”
“John and Mary have a lovely property with a large fenced in back yard for the dogs. They are kind and friendly and LOVE dogs. Darcy usually doesn't eat for a couple of days when I leave town, but she ate well at their house. John sent me a video each day, and I could tell she was happy and smiling.”
“Dawn took great care of our dog and sent daily pictures of him. We felt at ease on our trip knowing our dog was being looked after by Dawn. She loves animals and it shows. Will definitely contact Dawn again for future dog care. Excellent service!”
“Angela and family took excellent care of our dog Daisy who can be anxious . We were sent pictures every day of walks, eating and playing. Our Daisy was so happy and comfortable that she had no anxiety when we picked her up. Thank you and your family!”
About: Hello thank you for your interest. I am an animal lover with many years of experience. I have cared for a variety of animals of all sizes. I have experience with administering medication. I work full time from home which allows me to have pets stay with me and they are not left alone. I am a responsible person who takes anything I commit to very serious. Your pet will be cared for and be given lots of love. My references are reputable and all my clients love me! **Full transparency I have a 3 year old rescue dog who gets along with all types of dogs and loves the company. If you would rather my dog not be present when I'm caring for your pup I can make arrangements for him to go to Grandma's** I work from home full time and I only take one family at a time up to 3 dogs. So I will only be caring for your pets. Your pets will be taken outside every hour they will have as many walks you prefer, but it's usually 3 walks a day depending on age, health, etc
“Megan did great watching my Mugsy while I was away. Mugsy did not want to leave. I guess he felt like it was his second home. No issues and Megan always updated me by text or pictures. I would recommend.”
“We had a great experience with Courtney! She treated Rocky like he was her own. Everything was so easy from our first meeting. Courtney communicated with us the entire time through messages and with photos! We highly recommend her! (We already booked with her again)”
“We've entrusted our beloved Labrador, Nora, to Catherine and her family's care on several occasions now, and each experience has been absolutely wonderful. Nora always returns happy and well-cared for, a testament to the loving and attentive environment Catherine provides. The peace of mind knowing she's in such capable hands is invaluable, especially when our travel plans don't allow us to bring her along. We wholeheartedly recommend her services without reservation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Trenton
Stacy was the best. This was our first time using Rover and was hoping to find someone who could give our boy the same love we do at home. Stacy did that, PLUS some. We felt at peace knowing Riverdale was getting all the loves, cuddles, and quality time that he’s used to, as well as Stacy keeping up with his walking, eating, and hygiene schedule. If you’re looking for someone to give your little (or big) fluff of love a warm home, look no further, as Stacy is the way to go. Riverdale will surely be coming back in the near future! Thank you again for everything, Stacy!
We were so happy to meet Karly and her wonderful family! They took exceptional care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the entire stay by sending us regular photos and videos. It was obvious from every update that our dog was incredibly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Karly and her family are kind, responsible, and truly love animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such great hands. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters!
Lauren W. was absolutely amazing with our dog, Rocco, during his 7-night stay. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. Lauren was friendly, kind, attentive, and wonderful to work with throughout the entire experience. She gave us peace of mind knowing Rocco was in caring and capable hands. Her dedication to putting pets first truly shows in everything she does. When we picked Rocco up, it was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and comfortable during his stay. Finding someone you can trust with a beloved family member is priceless, and Lauren exceeded all of our expectations. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, I cannot recommend Lauren W. highly enough. Thank you, Lauren, for taking such great care of Rocco!
We had an amazing experience with Andrea! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog, and it was clear from the start that he felt comfortable and happy with her. She and her family treated him like he was truly part of the crew, which gave me so much peace of mind. She sent pictures throughout the day, and in every single one he looked relaxed, loved, and having a great time. I couldn't have asked for better care. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in the area and can't wait to have my dog stay with her again! Thanks, Andrea!!! 🫶

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Trenton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Trenton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Trenton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trenton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Trenton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
