About: There is nothing I love more than dogs, except maybe cats. I have always been passionate about taking care of my animals and have always been relied on by family and friends for the same in both official and unofficial capacities. I can’t wait to become best friends with your pets! I am currently home full time and would have ample time to engage with your pets, walk them, and play with them. This can occur in your home or mine. My home has plenty of space to run around. I live in a beautifully grassy complex with a fenced dog yard 50 feet from my front door. I have a very friendly dog who also doesn’t mind being in the bedroom if your dog needs space. I’m also happy to ask all the questions I need to make sure your pets are very happy and satisfied in your own home if that’s where care takes place.

Julie is AWESOME! Communicates well, follows directions - I even thought I was giving her too much info, but she took everything I said and realized I was just being thorough since this was our first time using this type of service. We have a cat that is scared of strangers and I explained that to Julie before we left. And, bless Julie for trying to "put eyes on her" as she said with every visit. That meant a lot even though our cat hid under the couch everytime Julie visited. I would recommend Rover and for sure, Julie!

We have used (and commented) Brady in the past who is always great. Adding another review because I felt like she went above and beyond for us this time. On the second day of our vacation our dog was sick and showing signs of a UTI. Brady graciously took our dog to the vet to be looked at, got her started on new food and even gave her medication that wasn’t anticipated. Additionally she had to deal with and clean up several accidents that occurred but always did so graciously and was very communicative during the whole ordeal. We eventually came out early but were so grateful for Brady.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine! As of right now, I am only able to provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay where they’re most comfortable, but also to ensure that my own cats, who are nervous around other pets, remain comfortable. When caring for your pet, I treat both your home and your baby with the same respect and attention I do my own. I carefully following feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe while you’re away. Safety really is my number one priority. I’ll make sure doors, gates, windows, and any other areas are secure. I’ll be sure to keep your pet in approved areas, look out for any changes in behavior or health, and send lots and lots of pictures and videos!

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.

Ailiya was absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. She was communicative, fast at responding, caring, and gave great attention to detail. I found her to be very trustworthy and my two cats were happy and well cared for in my absence. They probably want her back for all the love and extra treats they got!

About: I have years of professional experience caring for animals as a veterinary technician, dog trainer, and shelter worker. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and pets needing extra attention or medication. I treat every pet with patience and care and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule can vary depending on the semester. However, I’m usually available after 2 PM, with even more flexibility after 5 PM. I do my best to work around each pet’s routine and can coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pets receive consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. With my veterinary and animal care experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, administering medications, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and attention, I’ve cared for them all—and I truly treat every animal like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energizing walk or a calm, reassuring visit, I adjust my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and lots of affection and attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’d be honored to care for your pet as if they were my own! I'm currently working part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can usually pet walk/drop in or pet sit on the other days. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment because that's where they feel most comfortable. The safety of your pet is the most important thing to me.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Trenton on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 8,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Trenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trenton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
