“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”
“This was our first time hiring a cat-sitter, and we were naturally a bit nervous since we were away for 30 days. Katia was wonderful with Kimi, attending to all her needs with consistent care. She was highly accountable and kept the litter robot, water fountain, and feeder spotless. It seems she’s a bit of a 'cat whisperer,' as Kimi was even more talkative with her than with us! Katia’s daily Rover cards became the highlight of our trip, giving us total peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend her as an excellent sitter!”
“Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Clarissa again. She was great and helped clean up a mess our cats made. She’s very responsive and made our first experience with a sitter a good one!”
“Josh was like a member of the family with our dogs. They didn't even bark upon meeting him. He was extremely responsive and caring. I am so happy we chose him over boarding so our pups can stay comfy at home. Josh is the best!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them. I currently have Toby, my Yorkie, who has been part of my family since 2014. Caring for him has given me years of hands-on experience with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medications and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I also helped care for our family dog for nearly 19 years before we recently had to say goodbye, which taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and caring for senior dogs with special needs. In addition, our family has a 5-year-old Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Beyond my own dogs, I've also dog sat for my sister on multiple occasions and have always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I'm attentive, reliable, and treat every dog like they're part of my own family. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care has always been part of my daily routine. I care for my own dogs every day, including walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Because I'm flexible and enjoy spending time with animals, I can easily incorporate pet care into my schedule and give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's sticking to a familiar routine, providing companionship, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection, I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is helping them feel comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, offer plenty of playtime and affection, administer medications if needed, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, following all care instructions, and providing regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Lisa is great with my 2 cats, Mowii and Leo. Really appreciate her attentiveness and care to assure the boys are well while I am away. Really great communication and love the photos - having to travel or go on vacation is no longer stressful. Thank you!!! ❤️”

I adjust my schedule each month based on my work hours, ensuring flexibility for dog sitting. Whether it's early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I can accommodate your pet’s needs and provide reliable care when you need it most. Unfortunately, I do not do boarding in my own house, however, I have 2 dogs at home. I’m willing to board at your house whenever needed!
“Ruth is one of the nicest, happiest people that I have ever met. My husband and I felt very comfortable giving her a key to our home for use during our vacation. She was good with our cat, and she followed all of our requests, including to send us daily photos. We are so fortunate to have found her, and we would definitely use her again as our pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!”
“Haha pepper is very goofy. I’m sure she’s grown such a love for you! Thank you for cleaning up the mess. Not sure why the cats would do that, I cleaned the litter boxes before I left! Although max does eat too quickly and throws up very often !! Thank you for being amazing!”
“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.”
“Brady did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. I was a little nervous leaving them since we recently moved and our German Shepherd Dog recently tore her CCL and this was their first visits with Brady. We had nothing to be concerned about though as Brady was so attentive and careful. She kept us in the loop with detailed reports, lots of photos and spent extra time giving love and attention to both our dog and our cat. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“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”

“Nicole took excellent care of my 3 dogs and cat. My dogs are senior and she took the extra care and attention a senior dog needs. I will definitely have Nicole return to take care of my pets and I highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.”
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
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!
Rita did an amazing job caring for our 9-month-old anxious puppy, Figgy. She was so thoughtful, kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day, and made Figgy feel safe and comfortable. We really appreciate her flexibility, especially as we just moved and needed extra support. No issues at all—looking forward to working with her again!

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.

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.
