“Connor is such a polite and sweet person. He took good care of our babies. He is the first sitter besides friends and family we’ve trusted to take care of them and we couldn’t be happier.”
“Jane was so sweet and great with my pets. She was flexible and understanding when our plans had to change due to unforeseen circumstances. She was a real blessing. She was punctual, thorough, and was consistent with checking in so I knew my pets were well taken care of! Totally recommend her to everyone!”
“Michelle did well with staying a few nights. House was in good shape as when we left. Our dog seems to have been taken well care of and happy. I received pictures daily, which I enjoyed!”
“Tom is a gem and we were lucky to find him after our relocation to East Texas. We left our home knowing that our babies were in good hands. Tom was respectful of our property and we were very comfortable being away. It was a fantastic experience.”
“Sarah was exceptional. I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our dogs. We have a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and a Chihuahua mix, and she did an amazing job with both of them. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She sent some absolutely incredible pictures that gave us peace of mind and showed just how comfortable and happy our dogs were in her care. Unfortunately, our dogs decided to be a little naughty while we were away and made quite a mess. Sarah cleaned up everything without complaint and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from a dog sitter. That level of dedication and care says a lot about the kind of person she is. I can’t say enough good things about her. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch your pets, I highly recommend Sarah. We will absolutely be booking with her again”
“Amy did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs, and also took on some kittens I was fostering! She met with us and the dogs beforehand so they were familiar with her, and now consider her one of their best friends! House immaculate, mail brought in… highly recommend Amy.”
“Rebecca was very compatible with my two dogs. I like that she sent me pictures and assured me they were doing fine. I will use her again anytime I need someone to come stay with my dogs.”
“Gabbi did a wonderful job for us. She's responsible and conscientious and loved on our pup so well that when we returned home, the sad story our dog gave us was very short compared to other times we've had to leave her. That alone, made us feel so relieved knowing she was so well cared for. We will definitely be using Gabbi and her services again!”
About: I've had dogs of every kind since I was young from small dogs to large ones. I know how to take care of senior dogs with eyesight and hearing problems as well as potty training puppies. I'm currently looking for a full time job so as of now I'm free anytime to care for pets and once I get one my schedule will change a little where I'm still available in the evenings. I will not be able to care for pets in my own home at this time as I am renting an apartment with a no pet policy
About: I’ve been passionate about animals since I was 5 years old. Rescued/Raised/Fostered 3 litters of kittens along with a few litters of foster puppies within the past 6 years. Also have 3 years of professional boarding experience & animal behavioral skills along with volunteering for the SPCA of Dallas! Currently work 6am-2:30pm full timeMonday-Friday so I can be available for evenings & weekends! My days off are Saturday & Sundays for pet sitting if needed. I’m also off on major holidays as well. I have a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom Single Home with a friendly, playful dog ready to keep your dogs company. I also have 4 indoor cats who are very sweet but like to stay out of the dogs away. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but live in the country so they have plenty of room to roam. I currently work 6am-2:30pm Monday-Fridays & have weekends off. So with that being said, I’d be a great fit for both boarding & sitting for your fur babies! Well though I don’t have a fenced in yard at the moment. I do live out in the country where they’ll have plenty of land to run around & play as they please. With new pets I normally stay outside with them in caution of assuring they don’t run off & I keep my pets inside to relax & sleep.
About: Since I was a child I’ve always been around animals, big dogs to be exact. I’ve grown to learn how to watch them, wait on them, and treat them. In my family we’ve always treated pets as if they were your own children. So to me, it’s important to pass on that same respect to animals as I would to any other human being. I’ve learned to bath them, especially tiny and big dogs, although not in a professional setting, I probably have more fun than I should doing so. I’ve learned what to do and what not to do in regards of different breeds, meeting different types of people and actually following the preferences told by owners I’ve encountered. I am not a professional dog whisperer, but I will be very sure to treat your fur babies as one of my own at any time, anywhere. Pets are fun, and I have a real soft spot for the ones who need special attention. I am very close to a family who has had three beautiful great pyrenees mixes, all who have passed away during my 23 years of life, and I have experienced the life process. I’ve seen the over hyperactive puppy, the whines, the potty issues, the illnesses, and the aging process. I’ve seen the vulnerability of old bones, the struggle to climb steps they use to dash up on and I’ve felt pain of a ended life brought joy. Dogs, cats, and all pets included are very smart animals, they are very emotionally intelligent and being around them gives me a good mental boost! You can trust that I will take care of your fur Family. I’m currently studying for my LSATs so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of pets! I honestly may need this more than you know. Animals lighten my mood, give me a sense of peace and get me active, and due to that I’m so available! I have a fenced yard, and I have a beautiful trail in my neighborhood, and there is a dog park also. I am super aware of the pavement to paw temperature just in case. I enjoy health as well, and will be serious of dietary needs for your pet. I have also fostered a cat and a bunny my sophomore and Junior year of college, so I’m very gentle, considerate and can deal with tantrums as well!
About: Love animals just like they're my own. Love feeding and walking dogs. I used to always have a dog when I was growing up. My kids also love dogs. They want one of their own. I'm just trying to earn extra money for my kids. School is right around the corner! Spend time with them. ... Provide somewhere suitable to sleep. ... Be sure to feed your dog at least three times a day. ... Feed your dog the right kind of food to have a healthy diet. ... Make sure you have time to walk your dog at least once a day so that they can get exercise. I also will groom your dog if u want it. They will be in good hands if you choose me to care for them.
About: I have dogsat for around 3 years now both small dogs like mine and big australian shepards. I care for children as well. 💗 💗 I attend class 10-2 pm. So that gives me plenty of time for morning restroom breaks & check-ins, and im free afterwards (unless im babysitting) I would make sure to not disturb their peace but also make them feel love and give them all the necessary attention they may need.
About: I have lived with cats for my whole life and absolutely adore taking care of them! I am highly experienced in taking care of cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities! As a recent high school graduate, I have plenty of free time to care for your kitties! Boarding at my home and housesitting at yours is available throughout the summer. Your kitties will stay in my cozy and relaxing bedroom! Because my family has a few cats of our own, your kitties will stay in my room to prevent any issues with the other cats.
“Keri was a wonderful sitter for our 4 girls. She followed all instructions and even had to deal with our 3 big storm fear girls in the middle of the night when a thunderstorm moved in. Everyone had their calming treats and got settled in. We communicated frequently since this was her first time to stay at the house and I am a nervous momma. I got pictures and updates and it was wonderful. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Amy was a great sitter for our Dixie girl. She sent pictures and communicated very well. She also watered our plans and left our home perfectly clean. We extended our time away by a day at the last minute and Amy was willing to stay and accommodate our plans. We look forward to having her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Trenton on Rover is $27.75 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 .

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.
