“Samantha was fantastic with our two dogs. She took great care of them, kept me updated on how they were doing and included photos, and also was very respectful of our home. Highly recommend!”

I currently work part time as a waitress, so I am able to fit your pets around my schedule! I work 4 hours at a time at most, and am available every night to care for your dog I am comfortable walking dogs in any neighborhood and for any period of time. I can give frequent potty breaks and crate the pet if needed.
“Oceana is AMAZING. We recently moved to the area and had to jet off quickly for a family emergency. Not knowing anyone yet, we crossed our fingers that someone on Rover would work out. We feel SO lucky to have found Oceana! She sent tons of updates and most importantly, our pup ADORES her. We can’t say enough good things about her!”
“Sierra was great to work with. I came home to happy healthy dogs and a tidy home. She was a great communicator and I felt secure that my boys would be well looked after. Would use her services again.”
“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”
About: Over 200 dogs watched on Rover ‼️❤️ I have taken care of a variety of different dogs since I was young. We always had a family dog and now I have a yellow lab of my own. Between washing, walking, feeding, playing, and just making a dog feel loved, I feel comfortable with it all. Me and my husband have trained our puppy with multiple commands and house training. We own a home with a large fenced back yard, which happens to be 5 minutes away from the nearby dog park! My husband is as in love as i am with dogs and will always be around to mutually take care of your dog. We do have a 7 month old yellow lab which is great with other dogs and very reserved for his age. When it comes to playing, he is high energy, but also gentle when it comes to contact with other people/dogs. Me and my husband are very flexible with work and can work from home as needed! My calendar is always up to date with our availability :) We have a large, fully fenced in back yard and live just a few blocks away from a dog park. Our lab, Max, is a year and a half and full of energy! He LOVES other dogs and will play with them all day. My husband and I have completely flexible work schedules, so can accommodate most drop-off and pickup needs. We rarely travel, so have wide availability for any repeat customers. We treat any animals that come into our home as if they were our own. We adopt them into our family and try our best to make them feel comfortable and loved. If your pup loves sleeping on the bed, you’re at the right place 😉
“Sky was the best caregiver for our pups that we could have asked for! We have literally never left our dogs with anyone other than family & we usually travel with them, but we couldn't bring them a long for where we were going & I was seriously so nervous leaving them with someone. Sky made us immediately feel at ease. The home visit went so well. You could tell she was capable & had such bright vibes. She checked in with us & gave the up most care to our dogs. I had left in a hurry bc we were in charge of a youth camp, so my counters were messy & I felt embarrassed for leaving a mess, but when I got home I noticed she had wiped down the counters & did a few of the dishes that I hadn't washed. I didn't expect her to do anything extra, but I thought that was so kind & thoughtful of her. I definitely would trust Sky with my dogs anytime. Thank you Sky!!”
“Luckily our cats and dog still like us a bit more than Eva, though it's close! She did a great job taking care of them and it showed. Our kitty recently had spay surgery and Eva handled the meds just right. She even made us muffins!”
About: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.
“Molly went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable. She played games either her, brushed her, and took her on walks every day. We appreciated her daily communication with us while we were gone.”
“Austin watched our 3 dogs for 10 days and was great to give us daily reports and pictures. He walked them daily and stayed at our house where he gave them lots of love and attention. We have one escape artist but he was very careful and followed our instructions to keep Cosmo safe. We will certainly hire Austin again!”
About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, 3 cats, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.
About: We are excited to be back watching dogs after maternity leave. We have always had dogs growing up and quickly got our own once married. He is 7 years old and we love going on long hikes, to the lake, and settling down for some evening snuggles! We have two little girls who are obsessed with dogs and ready to play! We have watched dogs through Rover for 3 years now and absolutely love the experience! We are currently a stay at home mom/ remote workers so I would be home with the pet all day except for a few hours at a time if we go to run errands. Your dog will be in the home with us like our own pet! We only kennel if that is the dogs normal home routine Our yard is currently only fenced with a temporary 4 foot fence as we have just built our home so We can currently only take dogs who are safe being let out to the bathroom and to have supervised play time in that setting.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they’re my own. I work two part-time jobs, but I still have plenty of time for pet care! I’m free most evenings, a few hours throughout the day, and I’m fully available on weekends. I’m flexible and can usually work around your pup’s routine. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously. I’m reliable, respectful, and always make sure your space and your pet are safe. I follow your routines exactly feeding, walks, meds, and any specific instructions you have. You can trust that your pet will get gentle, attentive care and that your home will be treated with the same respect I’d give my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had such a big heart for them and love that I can help people out with their pets needs. I’ve mostly take care of puppies and senior dogs. I’ve been doing it consistently for a couple of my relatives for the past 4 years. I have two part time jobs right now. One is from 4 AM to 8:30 AM Tuesday through Saturday and my second job is from 3 PM to 7 PM Monday through Friday. I’m free all day on Mondays until 2:30 PM and I have between 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM to help with your pets Tuesday through Friday. On Saturdays I’m available from 8:00 AM to 5 PM. I live in a nice and peaceful apartment complex that doesn’t have a yard but there’s plenty of grassland around along with a cute stream. The neighborhood I live in is also great for walks. I also have two cats who are curious of other animals but are sweet and friendly. I can keep my cats in another room if you prefer that.
About: I have grown up with many animals in my lifetime from a very young age! I love being able to play and take care of any need they may have! I have taken care of puppies and older dogs with needs. My routine is very flexible so it’s not a problem fitting appointments around in my day for any amount of time! I look forward to meeting so many furry friends! I have two fur babies of my own who are the best friends a girl could ask for! I have watched many of my neighbors dogs growing up and now as they leave on vacations, they will be in great hands waiting for their best friends to get back!
About: My parents have been pet sitting for 3 years. I've had dogs my entire life and have grown up around German Shepherds. I have experience with a variety of different temperaments in dogs. I am a college student, but I take mostly online classes, so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available most of the time and will not need to be away for more than a couple of hours at a time. I'm willing to do in-home house sitting and pet care. I can administer medication and provide daily exercise. I will love your pet like it's my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 154 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
