“We are so happy we found Brineydi to care for our pups. She is very sweet, asks questions about our pets and has great communication. She offers update thru photos and messages to let us know how things are going. I highly recommend her services and will use her services in the future.”


“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”

“Christine and her husband are wonderful people. I had no doubt my dog was in good hands when I dropped her off. She communicated with me throughout my dog’s stay and responded quickly. She also sent me pictures and videos daily. Her husband even helped me bring the crate and bag to my car when I picked my dog up seeing that I was by myself and would have a hard time carrying it all. Very nice people :)”

“Thank you John and Michelle for watching our Havanese. This was the first time shes been watched outside of family. Seems she had great time making new friends. Thank you again for taking such good care of our girl.”

“Renee was absolutely amazing watching our dog Winston for two weeks while we were in Italy. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She constantly kept us updated with photos, messages, and little check-ins, which honestly made being away from him so much easier. It genuinely felt like Winston was on his own vacation while we were gone! You could tell he was so loved, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Renee went above and beyond in every way, and we came home to a very happy dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, caring, and truly passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Renee enough. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat!”

“Loved Robert. Made sure he knew all about my dogs needs; asked several questions. Easy to work with. Had a quick meet and greet. Sent great pictures on fun outings. Also just hanging out on the front porch people watching...party hats and all ;) I love it. My boy Boudreaux will be back for sure.”

“John was good about tending to our dog's needs while we were away. We had daily updates and he brought up a few possible issues that could have been problems but turned out to be nothing to worry about so he was doing more than just the basic dog care. I expect will will leave our dog with John in the future if we need boarding services for our dog.”

“Douglas and Henry came back very happy from their stay with Ginger. She took excellent care of them and paid attention to the little nuances each dog needed. I highly recommend her!”

“Our dog Pinta loved staying with Eric and his wife. They were super communicative with us and took her on lots of walks even in the snow and very cold temperatures. It was clear that our pup received a lot of love! We will definitely reach out to them again when we need a sitter.”

About: You know that “can you imagine telling the dog sitter this?” trend? Well you sure should. You can tell me. He only drinks from the bathtub faucet? She needs her blanket tucked a specific way? He gets 1 & 1/4 treats at exactly 8pm (and he KNOWS when it is exactly 8pm)? I want the whole list, and I’ll follow it. And document it for laughs later. Hi, I'm Lucille! I'm a first aid and pet CPR certified dog lover in the Haddon Township/Collingswood area offering drop-in visits, walks, and overnight/boarding care for pups who deserve a home away from home and not a kennel. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, and after enough people said "you should branch out and do this on Rover!" I decided to listen. So after deciding to take a break from corporate America, here I am! I spent 15 years in HR, which means I'm the person who reads the instructions and sends the update with documentation before you have to ask. Your dog's routine, meds, quirks, and "absolutely-not" list will be followed to the letter, with photos and check-ins so you can relax. For 8 years I was lucky to be a rescue mom to Padfoot, a 8lb toy poodle who came to me with behavior issues. He taught me patience, how to read a dog's body language, and how to earn trust on THEIR terms. I approach every dog just like Padfoot taught me, with calm energy, clear structure, and lots and LOTS of affection (if that’s their thing, of course!) Every new booking will start with a meet-and-greet. I'd love to meet you and your pup(s)! I am currently in the job market so while I am not working full time I have flexible availability. I cannot say I am a particularly active person, so don’t expect hikes and walks for miles and miles. However I do love the quiet walk around my neighborhood, which is a loop just short of a mile. **New Sitter Rates: - Boarding (in my home): $50/night (extended stay - more than 5 consecutive nights = 10% off total stay) - House sitting (in your home): $70/night (extended stay - more than 5 consecutive nights = 10% off total stay) - Drop-in visit or walk (30 min): $25 Add-ons: - Additional dog: +$10/night (boarding & house sitting); +$5 per walk/visit - Puppy under 1 year: +$5/night - Holiday surcharge: +20% per night, walk or visit Pick-up & drop-off services: - One way (within 5 miles): $10 - Round trip: $15 - Beyond 5 miles: +$1/mile **All rates applicable to Rover’s booking fees, taxes, etc. - I do not have a yard, but for outdoor space have a balcony that is secure. Pups will never be let outside unattended. - I can accommodate pee pee pads on said balcony, if needed. - I do not have a very large apartment, so I might not be the best fit for a dog that needs a lot of space for big zoomies. - Speaking of apartments, sorry but dogs that are frequent barkers could be problematic, so please consider that if you’re looking for a longer stay. - I can accommodate however the dog would like to sleep. While I love all dogs, my allergies do not, so unfortunately dogs that shed will not be able to sleep in bed with me. I will be very sad about this the entire time and reserve the right to change my mind. - NO cats, or dogs that share a household with cats. That’s where my allergies have set a firm boundary. Photo evidence from urgent care trip upon request.
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They were reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”


“Emeline saved my life. She’s was so sweet to my Titan. Gave us constant updates with pictures. She even was flexible with my flight being delayed. I can’t thank her enough. She’s apart of the family now.”


“Kashi had a great time staying with Sarah. Sarah and her pups were excellent hosts. She sent me pics of my little girl smiling and having fun. They're conveniently located near the airport too! Definitely booking with them again in the future.”

“Michael and Adelie were amazing. They watched my dog for 9 days and were great with communication and daily updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in their care. They were very kind, flexible and accommodating and genuinely love dogs and care for them.”

“Marti was so very happy to see Julie and Peter when we brought her to her return visit! She has obviously had another wonderful vacation in Center City. Julie and Peter are amazingly dog savvy and easy to work with. I'm sure we will be back for more!”

“5 stars all the way. This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and we couldn’t not be happier with the service and care we received. Our little Gunner has terrible anxiety and does not like to be alone ever since his sister passed away last year. Aivy took such good care of our Gunner. She was patient and kind and made sure she communicated with us on how Gunner was doing. We can’t thank her enough and look forward to using her again. Thank you for your patience with our old man.”

“Rhea is truly an exceptional sitter. This was the first time I had to board my 10-year old labradoodle, and she made both my dog and me very comfortable and happy while I was away. Rhea clearly has a talent when it comes to caring for dogs and communicating with the owner. She is loving, responsible, reliable and a great communicator. I hope that she will be able to take care of my dog again the next time I need her help. I can't imagine a better place for my dog.”

“Elizabeth took excellent care of Tessa, and sent us plenty of photos during our trip. Would definitely board Tessa again at Elizabeth's place given the opportunity!”

“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Christina! We had unexpectedly rescued our sweet girl, Gigi, just two weeks before a vacation we had already planned. We found ourselves in a stressful situation, scrambling to find someone we could trust to care for our new rescue, and she turned out to be an absolute blessing! From the moment we entrusted Gigi to her care, we felt reassured. Her home was so cozy, warm, and welcoming, with such a beautiful family atmosphere. Her husband, her two children, and she herself were all so involved, loving and wonderful with Gigi. It was clear that she was not just being watched, but truly welcomed into their home and treated like part of the family. One of our favorite things was receiving all the updates and pictures throughout the week. It gave us so much peace of mind to see Gigi happy, comfortable, and being loved while we were away. Knowing that our newly rescued girl was safe, well cared for, and surrounded by such a loving family meant the world to us. We are beyond grateful that she opened her home and her heart to Gigi, especially knowing that we had only had her for two weeks. Finding someone who genuinely cares about your pet and makes you feel completely comfortable leaving them in their care is priceless. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and loving dog sitter. She went above and beyond. Gigi was happy, we were happy, and our hearts were at ease the entire week. Thank you for treating our girl like one of your own! ❤️🐾

As always, Brineydi did a great job of keeping our little fur babies well taken care of & us at ease while we were away. 5 stars isn’t enough! After letting us know that he was having a hard time keeping his food down, she made Alejandro a special home cooked meal to help with his stomach. He was back to his usual playful self in no time. So grateful we found her on Rover!

Tania was absolutely wonderful and took the best care of our fur baby!! She was very sweet with him, took him out frequently (which he needs since he’s a big boy), and really made him feel at home. Additionally, she was flexible with us as our travel plans changed. We really appreciated her, and would love for her to watch Leo again!

Ritch watched our boxer mix while we were out of the country for a week. Ritch really knows what he's doing while pet sitting. His professionalism and communication allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet. He knew how to make our dog comfortable and safe. We'd definitely bok again!

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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Merchantville is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 3,307 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Merchantville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
Tip: 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 , 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 .
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.
