Milo loved her. :) I appreciated how timely she was with her drop-ins as well. Would highly recommend booking her for your pet-sitting needs! Thanks so much, Jaymin!”

“She was super responsive short notice, willing to do a meet and greet and even walked him and fed him on her initial visit. That meant a lot, she earned my trust with my dog son and would totally have her drop in to take care of loki in the future. Super friendly and as a fellow dog owner she knew the drill. Deff recommend her to others who are new to Rover and want a thorough caretaker who knows what she’s doing and willing to walk the dog in the windy cold without ezcuses.”

“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!!”

About: Extensive animal care experience. Animal science college major, veterinary technician experience for 3 years. Knowledgeable and capable of handling any kind of dog or cat, experience with small pets as well and birds. Compassionate with all animals, patient and understanding of animal behavior. Loves all breeds of dog or cat. I work full time but am free afternoons and evenings and most weekends. I work from home Wednesdays and Fridays so I have more flexibility those days. I am a 35 year old responsible home owner and animal lover looking to provide the right care where needed. I am easy going with a calm personality which is well received by pets. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am always responsive and accessible via my phone. I have a m-f full time job but can care for pets before and/ or after work. The time I go to work and return home has some flexibility. I work from home Wednesday and Friday and have a little more flexibility on those days. I’m available most weekends too. I can accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I am open to house sitting and overnights as well as walks. I’m comfortable providing care for all types of pets. I have a very large crate at my house if a house stay requires the pet be crated. I’m happy to stay at a house if need be to provide care. I have two cats at my house that I would keep separate if I were pet sitting at my own house.

For the last year I have been a volunteer at our local animal shelter walking shelter dogs and socializing kittens and cats.

About: Throughout my years of pet sitting, I've taken care of my sister's dog, Lili, whom I've taken care of for 11 years when my sister needs it. Besides Lili, I've taken care of my friend's kitties, Wolfgang and Ludwig, for around 2 years now, and my ex-coworkers' 4 cats. Other animals I have taken care of are birds such as Soup the pigeon and Ren the budgie. I also own a kitty cat named CB since May 2026. I'm currently a college student with a part-time job as an RBT. The times I am available the most are Saturday and Sunday, very early mornings and overnight, but message me about my schedule during the week, as a lot of my week varies depending on whether I have a client and I keep my rover availability for full due to my schedule. When I'm out, I'm no longer out for more than 4 hours at a time, so constant check-ups are not a problem for me. :-) *currently onboarding is on pause due to my rover room being used for a rescue cat* I have a fenced backyard for my sister's dog, as well as a collar with her information on it and an AirTag to make sure Lili is safe and sound. I only take Lili out under my supervision and do not let her out alone, especially in the summertime when it's super hot. (LILI IS NOT HERE WHEN ROVER CLIENTS COME!!) For my friend's cats, I do not let them outside, as she lives right next to a forest, and I fear they could get into trouble. They both got collars and tags. For all animals, they are under my supervision no matter what. Only cat inside is C.B. and she is very shy around animals so she stays away from both cats and dogs.

About: I have had pets most of my life. Mostly cats at first, but more recently (about four years ago) me and my family decided to get a black lab puppy that we raised with a lot of love and care. I was the main person responsible for training, playing with and exercising him, and he grew to be an amazing dog! I have dog sitten for friends, taking care of both cats and dogs, and have always made sure to provide plenty of love and entertainment for all those furry friends. I work full time in an office setting, but have the ability to work remotely when needed, all I need is my computer and headset. That makes my schedule pretty flexible, so I can easily fit it care for your pet! I am extremely good at following the instructions I am given on how I should handle pets and (if needed) household items. I will meet whatever schedule I am given, and always make sure to leave everything the way I found them. I am very patient with shy animals and playful with active ones. I can provide exercise in the form of playtime, walking or trips to the dog park.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Mercerville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mercerville on Rover is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $43 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 5,772 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mercerville. 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.

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 Mercerville 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 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 .

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 Mercerville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mercerville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
