“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!”
“Absolutely amazing! Sent updates about Skye and accommodated so much for her! Got her new toys and made sure she was so comfortable :) He was an incredible sitter and loves dogs truly!”
“Anwar was so great and loving with my cat. Such a nice personality as well and he made me feel like my cat was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely book with him again.”
“My hubby is working in the area. I flew in from GA to visit him, so that we could drive to Canada to celebrate our 10th anniversary. He travels with our dog and we needed a safe home away from home while we travel. Ivelisse was great with our fur baby! Love had just been diagnosed with a UTI and she was very attentive, even giving us helpful recommendations on how to prevent further ones. She sent regular updates and we could tell that Love enjoyed the stay as well. We are thankful that Ivelisse was able to accommodate us on such short notice. Thanks for treating our dog like family! We definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
“If I could give more stars I would!!! Kathleen was fantastic! My dog had the best vacation at Kathleen’s house!! She was great with communication and always sent pictures to show how happy he was! Beaus looking forward to his next vacation at Kathleen’s!!”
“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!!”
“Craig took exceptional care of our dog for an overnight stay. He was incredibly communicative and flexible, and instilled confidence that he was on top of everything and our pup was in good hands. There were also plenty of walks and playtime to keep him busy. Highly recommend using Craig if you’re down the shore.”
“Courtney provided excellent care for our dog when we were away for several nights, She provided updates and pictures each day and we are so grateful he was so well taken care of and was so comfortable and happy while he was there!”
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.
About: I work from home, so I’m home all day! 🏡 I love taking my dog on a ~½-mile walk 3x a day, and I have a fully gated backyard. 🐶❤️ I absolutely love dogs and would be happy to send you plenty of pictures/videos of your precious pup/dog throughout the day! I can even keep you updated on when they poop 😂 Let me know! * 🏡 I work remotely Thursday–Monday, so I’m home and can care for your pup! * 🌙 Overnight stays are available! * 👨💻 My husband works remotely Tuesday, 8 AM–6 PM * 🙋♀️ I’m available 6 AM–6:30 PM * 🚫 Wednesday is the only day we’re unavailable * ⏰ Need an earlier drop-off or flexible pickup? Just let me know—I’m flexible! 😊 I have a fenced-in yard and a neutered male Bichon-Poodle who would love to keep your fur baby company! 🐶💕 I can also crate your pup if needed. I like to make sure they get plenty of playtime throughout the day since my pup has tons of energy and is always ready to play! 🥰
“Hi Traci and Jeffrey, thank you so much! We had a great trip knowing Kai was safe with you guys. Because Kai hasn't had tons of experience around other dogs, your patience with him meant the world to us. A special thanks to Chewy for being such a gracious host and sharing his toys!”
“Lesley was amazing with our dog! She sent us plenty of pictures and videos of him! I can tell she loves animals and she was so sweet and loving towards ours. Her own dog is such a sweet boy too! Highly recommend going with Lesley if you want an attentive and loving sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, turtles, birds, fish, and even tarantulas. I come from a family of animal lovers and I understand that every pet has their own personality. I have helped house sit and take care of my friends cats, dogs, and rats since I have been in Princeton, NJ also. I am a graduate student at Princeton University currently and since I set my own schedule on most days, I can be available frequently to give your pet some love and care. I have experience with crating dogs since I was a child. I am very comfortable with following all the rules you have set for your home.
“My Labrador Nora has stayed a few times with Cathleen and her family. It’s great to find someone we can completely trust for her to stay with! Nora always has a great time.”
“Kevin was a great fit for Jackson while I was out of town. Each day he sent and update with a few pictures, which is always nice when you’re away from your furbaby! I would not hesitate to contact Kevin again for the next time Jackson needs a sitter.”
“Megan really put my mind at ease when I was on my honeymoon - she sent me daily updates and photos/videos, and my pup had such an amazing time in her home. When we were leaving, Emmy looked longingly at her house as if she was bummed to leave! I really could not recommend Megan enough to anyone who needs someone to care for their dog, just an all around sweet person who genuinely loves animals.”
About: From a family of dog lovers, I have always had a dog at home to care for. Growing up, I was the neighborhood’s go-to pet sitter. I love all dogs and have a very flexible schedule! I am currently a teacher on summer break which leaves me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dogs on a schedule that works best for you! I have a friendly and playful dog at home, Murphy who can keep your pup company or be crated if needed. At my apartment we have two gated dog run areas and living downtown provides many fun areas to walk.
“I brought my dog Jasper to Katie for a day visit in preparation for an overnight as he’s a little clingy and sensitive to changes in routine. He did spectacular with her. He was able to rest, go for a walk and Katie sent me so many wonderful pictures of him absolutely relaxed and having the best time. Katie was able to assuage my anxieties and treated my dog as if he was her own. I highly recommend!”

Thank you so much for your love and support for Poppy. She has been pampered by you guys. Thanks for all the regular updates and also accommodating us to change the schedule as needed due to unforseen events. We really cherish this and feel at peace that she is in safe hands.
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!!! 🫶
Jerrica has been dog-sitting Belle for years, and we couldn’t ask for anyone better! Every time we drop Belle off, she’s so happy and excited to see Jerrica. We always have complete peace of mind knowing our pup is in such excellent hands. Jerrica sends us regular photos and videos and takes amazing care of Belle. She truly goes above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Trenton is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 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 October 2026, there are 3,111 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Trenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
