“We felt so safe leaving our 2 babies with her while we were at a wedding! She sent is pictures each day and updates on how they were! It completely put our minds at ease and we cannot thank her enough!!”
“Chazz is great! Zelda is happy and calm when I pick her up, and my mind is at ease knowing that she’s being taken care of by someone that’s kind, friendly and professional.”
“Renee was amazing with Ruby! Ruby had soooo much fun with her dog, Toffee, over the weekend. I got plenty of pictures and updates throughout which gave me great peace of mind. I don’t think Ruby even wanted to come home at the end, I will definitely be booking with Renee again!”
“Kelsey and Conor cared for our 10 yo lab and could not have been more kind & loving in their care. They provide a clean environment with their own friendly dogs with a perfect outdoor space for a dog. They provided daily updates in which our dog looked so happy & well cared for. Highly recommend and will use Kelsey & Conor again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hali as a dog sitter. The communication was great from the beginning and was easy and reassuring. She took great care of Ruby and even watched her as a 5 month old puppy. She sent pictures and videos of Ruby enjoying her time outside in her fenced in yard. She responded quickly to my check ins and made me feel comfortable leaving her. Ruby was happy and calm when we picked her up and I would highly recommend Hali as your dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need a dog sitter.”
“Cindy was very flexible with scheduling and allowing Duke to have a meet and greet prior to our scheduled boarding. Cindy also shared photos and videos during the stay.”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”
“John and Michelle did a great job watching our little pups. They were responsive and friendly, and they walked our dogs frequently. Would definitely use again!”
“Kristina was awesome! She sent daily updates and pictures which I really appreciated, took Mika on daily walks, and really made me feel like she gave her special attention and care! We look forward to using Kristina in the future!”
“Our beagle has separation anxiety and so requires a bit more attention and care. Kerry does a fantastic job of providing just the right amount of attention and always keeps us up to speed on his activities. Plus Ferris loves being at Kerry's place.”
“I am so so glad I found Victoria on Rover -- highly recommend if you need a sitter for your animal bb! <33 My dog has some health issues which affect his diet, and is a generally shy / anxious lil guy (like myself), and I can't express how grateful and secure I felt knowing Theo felt safe, cared for, and happy while I was away. Victoria has so much experience and compassion working with animals, and you can absolutely tell by her kindness, attentive care, and communication. I appreciated every message and cute picture of my pup Theo on walks, smiling, and relaxing with Victoria (and Remi, Nova, and Luey!) In addition, I appreciated the add-on booking allowing Victoria to come pick and drop Theo off. The ease of the booking and Victoria being such a lovely sitter eased so much of my mental load and stress of traveling and being away from my pup, and I can't recommend her enough. I think Theo says woof in agreement, since he came back so happy :) This was my first time booking with Victoria but I am so happy to have found a wonderful sitter and would love to rebook when I will need one for Theo again :)”
“Murphy is generally nervous around new people. But Hillary and Sam & family were so caring with him, that he warmed up (as much as he can). He has other dogs to run and play with, and came home a happy pup!”
“Very friendly and sent tons of pictures. Our little guy seemed like he had a great time and came home completely exhausted. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks!”
“We had a great experience using Melissa! Ace was well taken care of and clearly had a great time. We really appreciated the updates and pictures. We’ll definitely rebook again in the future! 🐾💕”
“Jake was absolutely fantastic!! It was our first time ever using Rover and he made us feel very at ease dropping our dogs off. Would highly recommend Jake and will definitely be using him again!”
“John was very communicative and responsive from start to finish and Twain had a nice time. Definitely helped the human side of the separation anxiety during a last minute trip. Lots of photos and updates and was great when Twain lost something at the house to drop it off. Thanks, John!”
“Tania has watched our two dogs twice now at her home, and she always does a great job. They’re relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. We feel completely at ease leaving them with her and will definitely be booking 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!!
I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Alfie, with Jami & Brian this summer! Alfie has some separation anxiety and behavioral quirks, so finding the right sitter can sometimes be challenging, but Jami & Brian were incredibly understanding, accommodating, and welcoming. They provided excellent communication throughout the entire process. It’s clear that they’re experienced, attentive to specific needs, and genuinely care about the dogs they look after. They provided Alfie with a safe and comfortable environment and kept me updated with photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Alfie was clearly well cared for, felt safe and relaxed, and had a great time! I would absolutely recommend Jami & Brian to other pet owners and hope to book with them again in the future. Thank you both for taking such great care of Alfie!
Marissa and Kevin are truly a needle in a haystack here on Rover. They are extremely attentive, caring, and understanding of our pups unique behaviors and needs. They have a wonderful home and outdoor space. They took our pup on many adventures and made sure he was very well loved throughout his stay—the pictures we received were AMAZING. We are so relieved to have found Marissa and Kevin and have already planned many more boarding sessions with them.
Christina was absolutely wonderful with Olive! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease knowing Olive was in such caring, attentive, and capable hands. Christina was incredibly thoughtful, communicative and clearly treated Olive like her own. Olive was happy, comfortable and so well cared for and it was obvious that she had a wonderful time. Christina went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and I truly appreciated all of the updates and care she put into watching Olive. I can’t recommend Christina highly enough! She is kind, trustworthy, responsible and genuinely wonderful to meet and speak to! I would absolutely have her watch Olive again in a heartbeat. Five stars doesn’t even feel like enough! ❤️🐾
Bruno had a ball during his stay ( Aug. 21-30 2026 ) Cindy was so kind and caring she took real good care of him it was his first time away from home and us, and the Topper was he was just over 13 months old. He was timid and she made him feel right at home and at ease. And he got along with the other dogs. We would definitely use her services in the future and would recommend her to others. Thank You Cindy.
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!
Hendry went above and beyond with my 2 boxers. He sent me updates on how they were adjusting and pictures on most days. He allowed them to spend time with his family and play with Nova, his dog. This was mine and my dogs first time away from each other and Hendry made sure they felt safe and let them open up slowly which I so appreciated. Hendry and his wife are very caring and genuinely love dogs. I was able to relax on vacation and I appreciate Hendry and his family for this. Cannot say enough positive things about the excellent care oakland and olive received. They will be be staying with Hendry again in the future!! Thanks again!
April was awesome with Harley! She sent many updates and photos. Harley looked, and was, relaxed and comfortable. Harley has Myasthenia Gravis and has a specific medication and food schedule, and April kept to the schedule perfectly. I highly recommend April to care for your furbaby!
Chelsea allowed my very anxious dog to lay with her and on her, which provided so much comfort knowing we rarely leave our dog. Chelsea allowed us to walk her back yard and space so we could see where Abby would be spending her time. She was flexible with drop off and pick up and provided pictures when we checked in on Abby.
So happy I found this website and Jayanna! She did an amazing job and made my dog feel comfortable, even though she was very nervous around the other dogs at first. Jayanna was patient and caring. She sent us photos and videos throughout the stay without us even having to ask, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since our booking request was made only two hours in advance. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Merchantville on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,271 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Merchantville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Merchantville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
