About: Hello, I'm Abigail! I've been caring for dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds for most of my life. As a animal lover, my experience is not only just dogs and cats. I have cared for a variety of pets, including farm animals, small animals and reptiles. I worked at a dog care facility for several years, where I gained experience as a Dog Daycare Attendant, Lodging (Overnight Boarding) Attendant, and Enrichment Attendant. Through these roles, I worked with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I've learned how to recognize and respond to different behaviors. Provide safe and structured care, and help pets feel comfortable and happy while their parents and or family are away from home! Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm committed to providing compassionate, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐱🐰🦎 I offer pet sitting services every day of the week, including weekends & holidays, giving you flexible and reliable care whenever you need it!! I also take advance booking:) I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you owners are informed. As well as feel confident & stress free before, during, and after bookings. I follow instructions exactly from feeding, training cues, crate rules, or medication schedules. I always keep emergency contacts and vet information easily accessible. I respect the client’s privacy and property at all times!! Watch closely for changes in behavior such as appetite, or energy. I can administer medications if needed (oral, topical, etc.). Always a priority to maintain a calm, stress free environment with plenty of affection and attention for your pets!!

“I highly recommend Arassely to anyone looking for a professional and attentive pet sitter. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. She followed all care instructions closely and took the time to get to know my pet’s personality and routines. I received thoughtful updates and photos throughout the visits, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I returned home to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a tidy space. It’s clear that Arassely takes their responsibility seriously and truly cares about the animals they look after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

About: I worked for Pet Sitters right at home for about one year. I started a new job but I can’t get enough of taking care of pets and making them happy! I have 4 animals of my own, and would do anything for them. I currently have a full time job, but I love taking care of, and meeting pets! It truly makes my day seeing my furry friends happy! I feed my dog/cats daily, with healthy food. I take my doggy on multiple walks a day, and we play whenever he wants. He always has fresh water and exercise!

About: I am a very loyal and caring animal lover (dogs, cats, horses, etc.) I grew up in Lawrenceville, NJ with cats and dogs. One of our chores was taking care of our animals, whether walking the dog, feeding them or changing cat litter and making sure all animals had fresh water daily. As a child, having an animal is a big responsibility but it is one that makes you learn and grow as a child to become a trusting and caring individual with responsibility in the big world we live in today. To be honest, animals are like family, they make you laugh and smile but their always there for you with unconditional love at the end of a busy day which everyone always needs. I am a true animal lover. I am semi-retired and have enjoyed taking care of dogs/cats all my life. Animals bring so much joy each day. I normally stay at clients home. I always make sure animals are fed and cared for each day. It’s important that they have exercise always.

About: I previously worked at Best Friends Pet Care. I worked there for two and a half years! I specialized there as a tiny camp counselor where I monitored a group of small to medium sized dogs for a few hours. I have experience handling, playing with and taking care of dogs from 2lbs to 150lbs, i’ve seen it all! I’ve also dealt with dogs of many ages from puppies to seniors. I have two family dogs of my own and currently have a cat with my partner and am my happiest when caring for fuzzy friends! I’m used to having an animal around 24/7 and wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently in between jobs after a move. I am now available Monday- Friday anywhere from 10am - 5pm! I have lots of time to be with your fur baby. I can communicate with you on whatever you need for your pets! Whether that involves walks/ medication/ crates/ play time etc. I am open to hearing your dog’s personal needs and helping how I can!

About: My love for animals has been a defining part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started my pet-care journey at just 10 years old, looking after my neighbors' dogs and building a foundation of trust within my local community. Over the years, that childhood passion evolved into professional expertise. For the past four years, I have worked as a seasonal dog handler at my local animal inn. This professional background has equipped me to handle everything from standard pet sitting to complex canine behaviors and specialized medical needs. A core part of my training includes an extensive understanding of canine body language. I am highly skilled at reading subtle signs of stress, fear, or discomfort, allowing me to intervene before a dog becomes overly anxious or potentially aggressive. I use this knowledge every single day to ensure that walks and play sessions remain entirely safe and low-stress. I am incredibly comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and strengths. I have hands-on experience utilizing a variety of specialized walking gear safely and correctly, including martingale collars, gentle leaders, and various types of harnesses. Whether your dog is a puller or needs a specific setup for safety, I know how to manage them on a leash. I have worked with an incredibly diverse range of breeds, from tiny pugs to giant Irish wolfhounds. Through my professional training, I have successfully managed and de-escalated challenging behaviors, including: - Food aggression and resource guarding - Fence fighting and dog-to-dog aggression - People-selective behaviors and high-anxiety pets Beyond behavioral management, I am highly experienced in handling special medical accommodations. I have safely cared for dogs managing a variety of health issues, including blindness, severe arthritis, infectious illnesses, and pets requiring strict medication schedules. I am also completely unfazed by the less-glamorous parts of pet care. I am always prompt, thorough, and sanitary when it comes to cleaning up vomit, poop, or any unexpected accidents inside the house. Additionally, I have extensive experience doing in-home drop-ins and overnights through a professional service similar to Rover. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect. You can look forward to meticulous attention to detail: I always ensure the home is left exactly as I entered it, and I have a strict double-check protocol to ensure all doors and entryways are completely locked and secured before I leave. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict behavior management, gentle senior care, or just a safe and secure environment while you are away, I am dedicated to providing the highest standard of professional care! I'm currently working as a lab technician from Monday to Wednesday, so I'll be able to take care of your pet after 5:30 pm! From Thursday to Saturday, I work a part-time job, so my hours can vary! However, I can be flexible, and as long as I'm notified in advance, I can figure out accommodations to take care of your pet! My Sundays are always free to take care of your fur baby. I like to make sure the pet is as comfortable as they can be, and I'm good at following directions. If you are currently crate training or getting personal training for your animal, I will ensure that I'm following your directions to ensure that your pet's training is reinforced. I always ensure that your house is properly secured when entering and exiting the home.

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!

We made last-minute plans and were worried about finding pet care until we met Rachel! Her prompt reply to our inquiry and willingness to meet with us before the trip put us completely at ease—we left for the weekend feeling confident our pets were in great hands. With each drop-in, Rachel sent detailed, thoughtful messages and photos, so there was never a doubt about how well cared for our two dogs and cat were. She was precise, professional, and clearly took the time to understand each of our animals' personalities and needs. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, and it was obvious Rachel genuinely cared. We'd recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Mercerville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mercerville is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $43 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 October 2026, there are 5,722 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 .

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 , 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 .

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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
