About: Caring for pets is my passion. I'm a veterinary assistant with experience in general practice, emergency/critical care, and medical oncology. I have also volunteered as a puppy sitter for Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization dedicated to helping the visually impaired community. Growing up, I always helped family, friends, and neighbors care for their pets, and I began my professional career in veterinary medicine at 19 years old. My beloved dog Dovey crossed the rainbow bridge recently. I would love to offer pet sitting/dog walking services to help you, and to help heal my heart. I am currently available for pet sitting service in your home, and dog walking service. I am currently looking for full time employment. Availability is subject to change when I begin working full time. My priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable. I am well versed in animal behavior and reading their body language. I always approach pets in a calm, gentle manner.
“Alicia was amazing. We were so grateful to her for watching our fur babies (3) for our daughter’s wedding. We were able to fully enjoy the day without worrying about our boys. She kept us informed and sent us pictures through the day. She took extra care with our senior boy. This was our first experience with leaving our dogs overnight and also with a pet service. I would definitely use Alicia again she was awesome!”
“We have trusted Amy with our kitty for a few of years now when we go away on vacation! She is truly looking out for our sassy little kitty when we are away and provides the best updates!”
“Brielle was wonderful with our pup Hudson! She was friendly, reliable and made sure Hudson was well cared for with daily drop in service three times per day for a long weekend. Brielle arrived on time for the drop in times shared and left great feedback / notes so we knew he was in good hands. Brielle even watered my porch plants and they looked better than before I left. Thank you!”
“Nicole was fantastic with our two cats, who required a lot of love and attention while we were out of town. She always went above and beyond which was extremely helpful and appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”
“Bri was amazing. She took care of my pups as if they were her own. She took her time and they responded by warming up to her more each day as they are really shy with new people. Snoopy and Kiwi have a new best friend! Thank you”
About: I’ve been providing pet services for a few years, primarily dogs during family vacations or when the family is working. I have experience with overnight stays, daily walks, play time, companionship and maintaining pets regular routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I strive to provide dependable, attentive care while treating every pet as if they were my own! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, consistent care throughout the day and week I am great at adhering to whatever routine you have with you pet in your home! A quick rundown of meals, treats, walks, etc, and I am ready to care for your pet and put your mind at ease!
“Brianna was kind enough to accept our very last minute request and came over to meet the cats and get care instructions ahead of time. Very happy to have found a friendly and professional sitter in our new town.”
“Alexis was a great sitter for our cat Atlas and our betta fish Simon, excellent communications throughout, provided great status pics, and was overall someone whom I would trust with all our pets. She will be on our regular sitter rotation going forward!”
About: I have spent all of my life around animals, and have absolutely loved spending time with them since I was young. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter, playing with the residents and doing what I could to help take care of them and keep them happy. I personally grew up with both cats and dogs. I was the family member responsible for training and teaching our dogs new commands. I would be more than happy to go on long walks or spend time playing with and keeping your pets company. I am currently a school teacher on break, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby! I am currently openly available, until the school year begins in September. Until then, I am generally available during the week from 8 am to 10 pm. Once the school year begins I am available for housesitting for pets that can be left alone for a workday. I can offer drop ins and walks after 3:30 pm on school days. I am more than happy to feed, walk, play with, and love your animals in your home. I have experience with administering insulin to cats as well.
“Anthony is amazing, the care and love he showed for Persi was amazing. All the camera shots were fantastic to get every time he visited. Even brought in our packages! 10 out of 10!”
“Peter is an excellent sitter! He take amazing care of my dogs with special needs (medication and reactivity) and they love when he comes over. Peter is responsible, communicative, and genuine in his love for animals.”
About: Caring for animals has been my life long passion. I treat every individual with respect, as if they were my own fur baby. I look forward to all animal interactions and I understand each animal needs tailored care, patience and love. I have volunteer dog walked all sorts of homeless pups in the last year through ACCT, pictured in my gallery. I also have extensive cat knowledge/experience. With some time spent in the vet med field. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! Building clientele to be able to fully work with animals. I care for my own two cat babies daily and volunteer dog walk for homeless dogs every week. I treat all animals with compassion, respect and patience. I read animal body language well, respect boundaries and exercise patience whenever needed. Following your guidelines are most important to me.
“Dan visited our cat and made sure he got lots of love while we were away. Our cat needs two types of medication and he handled it all and kept us updated, which was a huge relief. Was glad we booked with him for this trip!”

With a recent shift in my availability, I've decided to start offering my services via Rover starting in October 2025.** I am going to school part-time and teach yoga on the side so my schedule is flexible. -Monday, Saturday, Sunday: morning, afternoon, and evening availability -Tuesday & Thursday: mornings, afternoons and evenings available -Wednesday & Friday: limited mornings and limited evenings available I am not able to care for your pet in my own home, but I can come to your home to take care of your pet, whether that is drop in, taking them for a walk, or house sitting overnight.
About: I have a dog at home, but due to her reactivity I am unable to foster or adopt other animals. I love playing and being around all types of animals. I’ve housesat for my family and friends since I was about 13. I would love to help out and take care of your furry friends while you’re away! I am currently working Monday-Friday 9-5 during the week. So my availability would be Friday to Sunday, so if you need a weekend getaway I’m your girl! My home is unavailable for petsitting due to my dogs reactivity, so caring for your animal in your home would be mostly just following your rules! It’s important to learn your dogs usual schedule to help them feel more comfortable while you are away!
About: I have experience with dogs and cats for most of my life. Either through direct ownership or through grandparents and family. I have worked in the wildlife field for years. No pet is out of bounds as I have experience to present day owning all kinds of exotics and love spending time with animals. I am currently working part-time.

For cats; i can play with them, brush them, litter boxes, feed them, apply medication responsibly, and provide lots of love.
About: Hi! I’m Kaylin, a dog lover with over two years of professional experience as a dog bather. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who can’t sit still to sweet senior dogs who just want a little extra patience and love. Working in a grooming salon taught me how to safely handle dogs, recognize when they’re feeling nervous, and help them feel comfortable and cared for. One of my favorite parts of the job was getting to know each dog’s unique personality (and handing out lots of belly rubs and compliments along the way!). Whether your pup needs a fun walk, someone to keep them company while you’re away, or plenty of playtime and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I know our pets are family, and I’ll care for yours with the same attention and kindness I’d want for my own baby. i also would bathe cats sometimes! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and visits to make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m used to being around animals every day from my experience as a professional dog bather, so caring for pets feels like a normal and rewarding part of my routine. I make sure to give each pet personalized attention, follow their usual schedule, and keep them comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special preferences their pet may have. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and provide plenty of attention, patience, and care. My two years of experience as a professional dog bather has helped me become comfortable handling dogs with different temperaments and needs, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every pet I look after.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Merchantville
Christina dropped in on Benno the cat while we were away on a brief trip. I appreciate Christina's service for many things, here are 3. 1. Flexible: we knew we'd be out of town, we did not know when...until we did. 2. Excellent communication and responsiveness. 3. She is winning Benno over...Have already rebooked!
Bri is wonderful! This was my first time using Rover, and I was especially nervous because my cat is on a complicated medication schedule. Bri was very professional, punctual, and did an amazing job taking care of Duckie. My flight even got delayed an extra day and she had no problem stepping in at the last minute to give him additional care. I will definitely be hiring her on a regular basis.
Kelsey was amazing with my cat! We just moved to our new house before a week away, so I was feeling a little worried about Bitsy's being without us. But Kelsey's visits clearly made my kitty happy. The daily photos, videos and other home updates were fantastic. Thank you so much, Kelsey!! Highly recommend!
So grateful for having found Tara - reliable, responsible, gives good visit reports, and has incredible patience trying to catch a quick photo of our shy and elusive calico! Tara has taken care of our cat a few times when we’ve been away and we trust her as our go-to. Highly recommend. Thank you Tara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Merchantville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,456 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Merchantville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
