Marissa and Kevin are seriously the best. We went to Europe for a week and they had everything under control and our pup was extremely well take care of. I feel like I am leaving our baby with family when we drop our pup off. I am overjoyed to have found Marissa and Kevin and look forward to leaving our pup in their capable hands for a long time to come.
This was my first time using a border to watch my dog while I was on vacation. And I was very nervous about it. But as soon as I met Lan and saw how she connected with Luna, I was put at ease. Throughout the entire time we were away Lan provided numerous photos and videos of Luna and kept us up-to-date on how she was doing. When she got home, she adjusted very quickly and I could tell that she had enjoyed her time being taken care of by Lan. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She does an amazing job and she truly cares about the pets that she’s taken care of.
This was our second time having our pet stay with Shannon, and once again, we couldn’t be happier! She takes such great care of our pet and gives them lots of love and attention. We really appreciate the regular updates while we’re away—it gives us such peace of mind knowing our pet is in good hands. We highly recommend Shannon and will definitely be using her again!
I cannot say enough nice things about Natalie. She was so communicative throughout Lenny's stay, kept me updated with photos and daily happenings during the day, and I could tell she treated and cared for him as much as she does her own dog, Luna. Thank you so much for caring for Lenny so well and giving me peace of mind when I was out of town. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a sitter and will certainly be asking her to watch Lenny again in the future. Thank you so much!!
Denise kept our Duke for just over a week while we were away on vacation. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but Denise walked me through the whole process. She told me all about the process as she’s a pro and made time to meet Duke before our trip. While we were on our trip we got CONSTANT updates and immediate responses when reaching out to check on Duke. She paid close attention to his needs and made sure she immediately expressed any concerns she had with him which I very much appreciated. I wholeheartedly feel like my dog was cared for exactly how she cares for her own dog and I will say that is truly invaluable! I know she loved our Duke very much and we will absolutely be booking with Denise in the future. Thank you Denise for taking such good care of my baby!
From the moment we met Christina and her family, we knew we found the perfect sitter! Christina, her husband and two kids sat down on the floor and welcomed our pup right away. Communication was great and he seemed spoiled and loved the entire time. Thank you for making our trip stress free from doggie worries!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Merchantville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Merchantville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Merchantville.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Merchantville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
