“Heather was excellent - I would highly recommend her. She stayed overnight with my 15 year old dog and gave him his meds as well. I felt very comfortable with her in the house and Munson, my shitzu, loved her.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
“Brandon was so good with my animas. We had a problem with the heat in our house while he was there and he dealt with it like a champ. He’s a great dog and house center. .”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“Noa did a phenomenal job taking care of my boys. She made sure they were good, sent plenty of pictures and videos and even stayed longer sometimes to make sure they weren’t by themselves too long. Would definitely recommend and use again! They were in great hands”
About: I'm a freelance animation writer and dog lover who has had dogs his entire life and enjoys walking and sitting his friend's dogs. Now I'm looking to walk and sit even more dogs to supplement my writing income while also taking advantage of my extremely flexible schedule. I'm very patient, attentive and affectionate with dogs. When I walk, my attention is on the dogs (not my phone) and when I dog sit, I treat your home how I'd like my home to be treated if someone was staying there (i.e. not really wandering around and/or touching stuff, ha) and again, all attention is on the dog. Otherwise, I'll just be writing away on my scripts. I absolutely love dogs and have raise several from puppies. This is also an outlet for me after the passing of a beloved elderly dog that I had since she was a puppy. I'd be happy to take excellent care of your dogs.
About: I'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!
About: I have cared for dogs of every kind, size, and age since before I was 10 years old. I have lived with and loved my own dogs for years. I’ve raised them from puppies to happy adults, and cared for friends, family, and neighbors dogs, including many senior dogs and puppies. I love to take dogs on long walks, play with them, or just cuddle and pet them. I am also very good with cats, and have loved and cared for many kitties as well. Your pets are promised a safe, reliable, and loving place in my care. Beginning August 3rd, I attend a nursing program Monday 8am-3pm. I also work a part time job now, and will be during the school year as well. This allows me plenty of free time to care for and play with your fur babies! My schedule is not set and consistent, so I will provide you what times I would be away at work depending on when you need me! I am very experienced when it comes to pet care, I can bathe, feed, walk, play with, and provide any care your pup or kitty may need. I understand some dogs may need more care and attention than others, and I am more than willing to provide that! I will also make sure your home stays clean. You will come back to happy, healthy, and safe pets, inside a clean home!
“Raven does an excellent job. Very conscientious. Thinks ahead. She took excellent care of my Sugar and was responsive to my requests for updates & pictures of my baby. Super flexible. I would recommend Raven without a second thought to anyone that needs care for their fur baby.”
“Jen was amazing!! I think our Stats is depressed that she is gone lol. I would love to have Jen back the next time we go out of town. She sent pictures and videos which were so much fun to see!! I soooo appreciate her!!!”
“Taylor took amazing care of Ranger! She even took him for walks! I felt 100% at ease leaving him in her care. She sent pictures regularly, played and snuggled with him! I certainly will book her again!”
“Marissa was very responsible. I had peace of mind that she was caring for my doggies. Especially for my dog that requires medication several times a day. I will definitely request her services again. Hopefully very soon!”
About: I’ve always had and been around family pets. Pets are such a blessing to each and every family. I’d love to help those of you who may need a little extra help while you’re out making money for their treats and toys I have full time availability. Any hour of any day will work, I just need a heads up. As long as I can have hours for self care, I’m good to go! I will make sure any and all pets are cared for. I’ll be sure to ask questions like if your cat is permitted to be outdoors and if your dog door darts! As well as any special needs they may have or special diets.
About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer. I’m more of a stay-at-home person, so when I am committed to watching your pet, they will be well taken care of while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for a dog to play in! I have 2 cats but they are very antisocial and won’t be a problem. I’m also a quick learner and a natural when it comes to pet care!
“Ashleigh was amazing with Ralphie and we would ask her to watch him again in a heartbeat! She was very communicative, super friendly, and great to work with. She sent us loads of updates and pictures and videos throughout the night!”
About: Hi! I'm Liv, a lifelong dog lover with professional experience working at a busy dog daycare (The Ruff House). I've cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities-from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Growing up with dogs and fostering puppies has taught me how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently taking online college classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra company, I’m happy to work around their routine. I’m available most days and will always communicate clearly about scheduling to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, ensure fresh food and water are always available, and provide lots of attention and enrichment. I have professional experience supervising dogs in a daycare setting, so safety is always my priority. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.
“Patrice was fantastic housesitting for our elderly dog and young pup for a week. They had great care and Patrice kept us well-informed when one of the dogs didn’t seem to feel well for a day or so. It was a great comfort to have someone who cares so much about animals and their well-being looking after the dogs while we were away!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Trenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Trenton on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,582 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Trenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Trenton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Trenton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
