“We hired Alex at the last-minute and we couldn't be more happy with the person we found and the care our pets received. She was prompt, thorough, and - most importantly - loving with our animals.”
“Bri was wonderful! She came to meet the pups and was so sweet. When visiting, she was thorough in the care for the dogs, communicative with needs and any questions, and overall incredibly positive! My puppy had an accident and Bri immediately cleaned it and pup up. I could tell from the videos she sent the dogs were happy and comfortable with her, which is the most important thing! Would absolutely recommend Bri.”
“Rebecca did a great job with my kiddos. Even though they have many quirks and require a lot of time , she took her time make sure that everyone was taken care of. I would hire her again.”
“Ruth was great with our dog! She took great care to address our dog’s needs, sent cute pictures and was responsive to all of our requests/questions. Thanks Ruth!”
“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: I am an animal lover and have had pets my whole life that I have taken care of. I currently have a dog and cat of my own and I have owned freshwater tanks, horses, a leopard gecko, and have provided care for numerous animals in their homes as well for others. My animals take oral medications so I am familiar with specialty care and am comfortable providing the same to your furry (or otherwise!) family members. I have also worked in a holistic pet store with a focus on healthy nutrition for cats and dogs. I ride horses and have since I was 7 years old competing in ApHC national and world shows. I have provided medical needs to horses as well! I am currently working part-time, so I am available for drop in visits and walks each day of the week including weekends. I can do early mornings in very unique circumstances. I am unable to care for additional pets in my own home however, I am available to do visits to your home multiple times a day with updates to you so you feel comfortable leaving your pet for an extended period of time.
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!
About: Hello! As a dog & cat owner myself, I know how important it is to find a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! I have had pets my whole life, and have experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. I also have experience fostering dogs with a rescue. I work Monday-Friday 8AM-4PM. I am available before or after those hours for pet care, and can accommodate a lunch break drop in or walk if you live close to Trenton where I work. I also have full weekend availability! I have 3 cats and a dog myself, so you can trust your animals will be in good hands with me! I will love your pets as if they were my own!
“Kacey was very communicative and even came to meet Benson before the day so they could get familiar with one another! She was very patient with my shy kitty, but once he warmed up, she sent lots of loving and sweet pictures of him. My buddy puked and she cleaned it up for me and was very understanding the whole time, Kacey is fantastic and next time I got away I will definitely get ahold of her again!”
About: I have great knowledge and experience of dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have house sat and walked dogs through rover since I was a kid with my mom. I am experienced in training, introducing, and watching dogs as I have fully trained a male lab puppy, an African mastiff, my personal dog, and a therapy dog! I am currently taking full time college classes online, with two in person weekly. I also work marketing remotely so I have a lot of flexibility as I get to create my own schedule. I also am very fit and like to walk/hike daily finding new trails for me and the pups! I do hourly walks depending on the dog, as well as parks/hikes to make sure they fullfill their energy needs. I also ensure they are let out to use the bathroom on a consistent schedule as well as food and water. I myself have some energy so I do like to run around the backyard and/or play with them lots! If training is requested that is also done on a consistent strict schedule.
“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!!”

Rebecca handled my three dogs like a pro. I was visiting the area and I was so happy to have Rebecca help, her communication was thorough and so comforting to me, truly a huge part of having our trip go well. I was staying in an air BNB so her respect for the home and the way she left it how she found it was appreciated by myself and the host.
Jahari is a kind and reliable sitter. He dropped in on my cat Tiana and they became fast friends. I got pictures everyday and he followed all my requests to a T! On the last day she gave him kisses and I didn’t worry about her one bit during my trip. Peace of mind is what you’ll get with Jahari.
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!
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!
James was great during drop-in visits with our two cats! His rover cards were very thorough, and he was easy to communicate with. Even our cat who is shy around strangers felt comfortable and wanted pets from him by the end of his time caring for them. I will definitely rebook with him in the future!
Linda was great! She always takes great care of our diabetic cat. We had to change his insulin this time, and Linda didn't hesitate to stop by to learn the new injector. She sends the best photos and always makes me feel more comfortable leaving for an extended trip knowing that he is in good hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Trenton is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $39 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 8,227 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Trenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trenton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
