“Ruth did a great job watching our dog and cat over a holiday weekend! We booked on the later side for a Holiday weekend and we’re worried we would not find anyone and are so thankful we found Ruth. She was even flexible enough to add an extra day of visits when we needed them. We came home to very happy pets and had no worries through out the trip as Ruth left great updates and lots of photos each visit! Will definitely use her again on our future trips!”
“This was my first time going on a long trip and leaving my three babies with a "stranger". I was apprehensive to say the little least, but once I met Josh, I knew things would be OK and I was right. From the start, he communicated regularly, shared photos and stories, and even gave my three kids little nicknames. He was soon Uncle Josh and a stranger no more! If I could rate him higher than 5 stars I would! For any and all upcoming trips, Josh is our guy. You can tell how much he loves what he does!”
“Erik was such a kind and caring dog sitter. He was very punctual and communicative throughout the whole time I was out of town. He even walked my dog both days despite it being optional. Hachi was in such great hands and I would rebook him again in an instant.”
“Karina goes above and beyond with her care for our dog! Not only does she walk her daily, but also plays, brushes, trains, and provides detailed updates. Could not recommend her enough! Your pup will be in good hands :)”
“Jen took great care of our 3 cats. She was friendly, attentive & played with the young ones. It was very reassuring to know that they are happy and being taken care of while we are away. Will definitely use Jen again!”
“Courtney has been great with our two senior dogs. One is blind, and she’s so kind and patient, always making sure they get outside safely and without stress. We feel really lucky to have found her for days we need to be away for a bit!”
“From the time Linda did the meet and greet to the actual visits, all 3 of our pugs sucked right up to her as they could tell she truly is an animal lover. She did a great job with them and we couldn't be more pleased with the job she did. We would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again! Thank You Linda!”
About: With a lifelong passion for animal care, I bring years of hands-on experience to every pet I look after. From raising family pets and fostering animals in need — including those with medical requirements — to volunteering at local animal shelters and working summers at a pet boarding and grooming salon, I've developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. My commitment is simple: your pets will be safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a homebody at heart, I've found that my quiet days leave plenty of room to open my home and heart to more animal companionship. I'm looking for meaningful ways to fill my time, and connecting with new pets feels like the perfect fit. I also have a dog of my own who is wonderful with other animals — he'd love nothing more than making new furry friends, and I know he'll bring extra joy and companionship to any pet in our care. While I don't currently have a yard, that's something I'm looking forward to adding in the future. For added peace of mind, I have security cameras throughout my home so I'm always aware of what's happening. I live alone with two well-behaved, trained pets, and I'm rarely away — whether at home or just around the corner, your pets will always be close by and never left alone for long.
“Elias did a great job with our dogs. He provided valuable updates along the way which made us feel at ease. I would strongly recommend Elias if you need some help with your dogs.”
“Such a nice saver and excellent pet sitter. Ryan went over and behind the call of duty to ensure my trip was stress free and the 3 dogs and cat were well taken care off much love”
About: I stand out because I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with helping dogs and cats build confidence and good habits, and I provide gentle, attentive senior care for pets who need extra support. I focus on understanding each animal’s unique personality so they always feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work until 5pm on weekdays, so evenings are dedicated to giving pets my full attention, whether that’s evening walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. Saturdays are completely open, which lets me offer flexible daytime care, longer visits, and extra support for pets who need more one‑on‑one time. I make sure every visit feels calm, consistent, and tailored to each pet’s needs. I make pets feel comfortable and cared for wherever they are. In my home, I offer a calm, cozy space with consistent routines and plenty of attention. In clients’ homes, I follow their schedule closely, keep things tidy, and give pets one‑on‑one care so they feel safe and relaxed.
About: I’m friendly, caring, and love spending time with animals. I have a dog of my own and grew up with a dog, so I understand how important it is to give pets plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles. I’m currently a part-time student, so I have some extra flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to dedicate time throughout the week to caring for pets, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or pet sitting. I have a dog of my own who loves having other dogs around, so your pet will have some company if they stay with me. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but I’m happy to take dogs on walks, visit a dog park, and play with them indoors. I’m also more than happy to come to your home and care for your pet in their familiar environment.
About: Throughout my years of pet sitting, I've taken care of my sister's dog, Lili, whom I've taken care of for 11 years when my sister needs it. Besides Lili, I've taken care of my friend's kitties, Wolfgang and Ludwig, for around 2 years now, and my ex-coworkers' 4 cats. Other animals I have taken care of are birds such as Soup the pigeon and Ren the budgie. I also own a kitty cat named CB since May 2026. I'm currently a college student with a part-time job as an RBT. The times I am available the most are Saturday and Sunday, very early mornings and overnight, but message me about my schedule during the week, as a lot of my week varies depending on whether I have a client and I keep my rover availability for full due to my schedule. When I'm out, I'm no longer out for more than 4 hours at a time, so constant check-ups are not a problem for me. :-) *currently onboarding is on pause due to my rover room being used for a rescue cat* I have a fenced backyard for my sister's dog, as well as a collar with her information on it and an AirTag to make sure Lili is safe and sound. I only take Lili out under my supervision and do not let her out alone, especially in the summertime when it's super hot. (LILI IS NOT HERE WHEN ROVER CLIENTS COME!!) For my friend's cats, I do not let them outside, as she lives right next to a forest, and I fear they could get into trouble. They both got collars and tags. For all animals, they are under my supervision no matter what. Only cat inside is C.B. and she is very shy around animals so she stays away from both cats and dogs.
“Amia is a very professional cat sitter. She provided all affection , love and care to our Simba cat during the visits. I received all updates regularly. I will definitely go ahead with her upcoming visits.”
About: As a dog lover I devote my days to the pups. I have a collection of various toys and activity boards for all pups to use. I do also make busy boxes using recycled boxes and things for them to chew up. My two young boys love to help set up the activities for the doggies and are great cleaner-upers. As a kid and into my teen years, I raised roughly 7 Seeing Eye Dogs for the blind. We had each dog for the first year of their lives before they went on to do amazing work. Even as a kid I was to-go to person for tips and tricks for the adults. I have always absolutely loved dogs. They’re an amazing part of my life, always will be. I do accept puppies under 1 year. My pup LOVES baby puppies and is the sweetest thing with them. She’s wildly tolerant with the baby pups and will let them play all over her. I do not take breed under 25 pounds. I do take all breeds above this. I absolutely love big and giant dogs. My yard is fenced, it’s not super big but with YOUR permission only I do have a dog park about 5-10 walking minutes away I’d love to take them too. (Strong recall required, please let me know how well they return when called in a public place with others.) **** PLEASE READ. I apologize for this but unfortunately I am unable to accept pups older than 10 or those who maybe unstable on them or vinyl wood floors (I only have these types of flooring. I DO NOT HAVE CARPETING). I do have steps inside as well as 4 walking into and out of the house. I love all dogs all ages and I would prefer not to put them in a difficult position during their puppy vacation. I hope this isn’t an inconvenience. Please give your pups a scratch for me.****** I absolutely love spending time with dogs and puppies so they fit right into any day. I enjoy the flexibility that comes with this scheduling. I also enjoy that I have the chance to meet new amazing dogs often. I am a stay home mom outside of Rover so I do have two young boys, but it does that I get to stay home with puppies and my youngest. My three year-old absolutely loves spending the day with the puppies and me. I will always treat your dog or puppy as I would treat my own. With all the love in the world and give them everything that they need want or required. My goal is a happy puppy. Happy puppy means happy owners. And that means everybody’s happy.

About: Hi! I’m Sydnee, I’m 27, in my last semester of nursing school, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to farm animals, and I’ve even helped care for injured and orphaned wildlife. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just someone patient and attentive to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and keep owners updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, large breeds, multiple-pet households, administering basic medications, and following detailed care instructions. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them happiest. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered, or hoofed!) family members. I can’t wait to spoil them while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work part time at a casino, mostly weekend nights, so I’m pretty flexible! Don’t be afraid to ask for any dates/times. I will put in my calendar when i am completely not available I have 1 beautiful pit bull, 4 chickens, 1 goat and 1 pig!I take so much pride with health and happiness for my animals and will make sure to do so for you!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Trenton
Jessica did a great job watching our pup on short notice when we had to take a last minute trip. She came at all the right times and made sure our guy had his walks and meals and some love. He hates his picture taken but Jessica made sure to send photo updates after each visit.
From the time Linda did the meet and greet to the actual visits, all 3 of our pugs sucked right up to her as they could tell she truly is an animal lover. She did a great job with them and we couldn't be more pleased with the job she did. We would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again! Thank You Linda!
Lesly was fantastic! She was always prompt, reliable, and very communicative, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our two dogs absolutely loved her and quickly looked forward to their twice-daily walks. We appreciated the updates and could tell our pups were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Lesly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Brandi is amazing! She dropped in and took expert care of our 75lb adult rescue mutt. He’s a pretty dog but we’re in a new house so we were worried about his anxiety. She took care of the basics and even worked on some basic commands with him. We came home to a happy guy. Thank you Brandi!!
Rhonda has been absolutely fantastic! She kept me informed and sent pictures through the 2 weeks. She was clearly invested in making sure both my pups were eating, getting snuggle time and the different levels of exercise they each require. If you are looking for a temporary dog mom to replace you - Rhonda is GOLD! We are truly grateful for her frequent communication, her ability to roll with any ‘hiccups’ (dog knocks over everything in the bay window;), and just genuinely get to know their personalities and cater to them. We cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough!

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.
