“It was a pleasure having Christina watch our Yorkie Evie. We appreciated her thorough communication and professionalism. We felt very comfortable having her dog-sit Evie while she is having a leg issue and required extra care. Evie looks forward to hanging with Christina again soon”

“Alexa was easy to work with. She thought of things our pups needed without being asked. They were happy when we arrived home, and we felt she took good care of them. We will use Alexa the next time we have an opportunity”

“Megan was amazing she was always on time even stop over extra times. Both the dog and cat loved her. We would DEFINITELY book Megan again if we ever need someone again. We Can not speak highly enough about her. We love her and so to the our pets. Definitely 5 stars all around”

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.
“Rebooked with Bri and of course she was great with our pups. They are so comfortable with her which says so much cause our little can be such a yapper. We couldn’t be more appreciative of her. Thanks Bri!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, with a specialty in small dogs. I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so my #1 priority is providing a safe, structured, and fun environment while you are away. I am trained in canine first aid, experienced with high-energy small breeds, and skilled at administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, sticking to their regular feeding and walking schedules to keep them happy and reduce anxiety. I am extremely communicative and will send you detailed daily updates with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. My daily routine is incredibly flexible and built around your pet's needs. Whether I'm staying overnight at your house or just doing daily drop-ins, I offer early morning, midday, and evening visits with ease. For extended stays, I simply bring my laptop and work remotely from your home. This means your pets get constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and your house stays occupied for as long as you need me there. I know what it's like to lose a pet, so safety will always be my number one priority. Trust and security go hand-in-hand with my remote work lifestyle. Since I'll be in your home for extended periods, I can actively keep an eye on both your property and your pets. I take my responsibility seriously: I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, and clean up after your pets daily. I am meticulous about locking doors and windows behind me. I will closely monitor your pets for any subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I always aim to leave your home exactly as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it.
“Thank you Angela for giving our little lady some love while we were away. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and excellent communication! We hope to have you back soon :)”

“Shell has been so incredible with our very special pups who have different behavior quirks. she takes them out separately to make sure everyone has a safe visit and for that i’m super grateful. it’s so hard to find someone to trust with your fur babies and i’m so glad i found shell. we will continue to use her services, 15/10 recommend !”

About: I genuinely love all animals. I volunteered at the PSPCA for 3 years. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own! I do currently work full time so I am mainly available all day on Saturday & Sundays and Monday through Friday after 4:30pm only. If this works for you, reach out! I currently do not offer boarding services. But I will create a safe environment for your fur baby regardless where we are. Safety and building trust is essential to me.

About: There has never been a time where I have not had pets in my household. From dogs to cats to fish to frogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. As a proud cat mom of six, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, affectionate, and trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal like family and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable! 🐾🫶🏼 I’ve personally cared for cats through every stage of life and many different health needs, from raising one of my own as a neonate with around the clock bottle feeding and litter training, to supporting my childhood cat through his end of life care. I’m experienced with administering medications (typically liquid via treats), some post-surgical care, eye infections, epilepsy management, allergy sensitivities, and more. Whether your cat is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet cuddle and companionship, I’m always happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. 🐈🐈⬛❤️ While cats are definitely my specialty, I’m just as happy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve pet sat for family and friends many times over the years and genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks, playtime, and keeping pups happy and loved while their favorite humans are away. 🐶🦴 I’m also a very clean and detail oriented person, so you can trust me to keep litter boxes, food areas, crates, and any pet related messes tidy. I never mind cleaning up after pets, as caring for them and your home comfortably and respectfully is just part of the job for me. 🏡🫧🧹 I currently work from home as a Compute Support Specialist from 7am to 4pm, Sunday through Thursday. This gives me the flexibility to step out after work, and I can’t think of anything better than spending that time caring for pets. I am more than happy to check in on your pets after work or any time on my off days (Friday + Saturday), so long as I’m available. I’m very detail oriented when caring for pets in a client’s home and always follow any instructions or checklists closely, whether that includes feeding routines, wet food, litter box care, playtime, or walks for dogs. If no checklist is provided, no problem! 🫶🏼 I still make sure pets are well fed, comfortable, and cared for, and that their spaces are clean and tidy before I leave. I always send a check in as an update as well, because I know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. 🏡
“Highly recommend booking with him! Excellent clear communication and very attentive to my dog. Booked with him 1 time previously and the results were consistent this time around which I admire. Book Gavin!”

About: What sets me apart? I might be an actress by profession, but animals have always been the real stars of my life! 🐾 I genuinely love their company (sometimes more than people 😉) and believe every pet deserves individualized care, affection, patience, and plenty of attention. Whether your fur baby needs a playful companion, a professional cuddler, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I want them to feel safe, happy, and loved. To me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s making new furry friends and treating them like family. ❤️ A Flexible Schedule, A Whole Lot of Love! 🐾 As a working actress, my schedule changes depending on my theater commitments, which means that when I’m between shows, pet care becomes my primary focus! I love being able to dedicate my time and attention to the animals I care for, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, mealtime, playtime, or some much-needed companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to communicate about scheduling in advance so we can find a routine that works for both you and your pets. When I’m available, I love filling my days with furry friends, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! ❤️🐶🐱 Your Pets Are in Loving Hands! 🐾 Leaving your fur babies at home can be hard, but I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be well cared for while you’re away! Whether it’s a potty break, a fresh meal and water, playtime, belly rubs, or simply some extra company and affection, I’ll make sure your pets receive attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs and routines. As a devoted pet mom myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, and comfort levels. I’ll respect their routines, keep their safety a priority, and make sure they get the attention they deserve. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can check in on your babies and enjoy a little peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets aren’t just another stop on my schedule—they’re little family members who deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️🐶🐱
About: I was very fortunate to grow up around an abundance of pets- be it dogs, cats, birds, rodents, or even reptiles. Because of this, I have years of animal handling experience of all kinds, and have even raised puppies. I am an avid walker averaging around 15 miles a day for fun, so if your little guy needs walking, I would love to help out. I will be working a full-time in-person job until July 31st, but am available weekends and evenings. Starting in August, I will be working remote which will allow me a lot more flexibility with watching your baby! Your home is your rules, and we will abide by it. That means if there are no animals allowed on the furniture, we will do just that. I can provide walking, litter box cleaning, feeding, and I can play with your animals. If more is needed, we can absolutely talk about that and I would love to help!
About: After the passing of my own elderly dog, I’m left with lots of love, toys, a yard and a dog spa. Message me today I work in the city so I’m only 10 minutes away from my home. My apartment has a fenced in yard and a dog spa with many parks in the neighborhood. I’ve had pets my entire life so my routine has been built around my own pets. I’m an early bird so I like to get a jump on my days with a walk and would love to bring your doggie along with me I have a fenced in yard at my apartment. I also have an XL crate and dog bed if you don’t have a crate of your own for your pup. If you forget anything I also have bowls and toys to make the transition as smooth as possible for you.
“Gregory is amazing. I have used him more than once and my dog loves him. He is so good with my dog and I have a very large and hyper dog. I highly recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merchantville
Brineydi has been such a life saver with our new puppy Roux ! We never used Rover before her and honestly feel like we've hit the jackpot for pupcare. She does drop in visits to let our dog out and play. She's always punctual, communicative, and I LOVE receiving the detailed updates/photos with every visit. Briyendi is becoming one of Roux's favorite parts of the day 😌🐾

Emilyann was great with Luke, and he seemed to really look forward to her visits. I am thrilled that they got along so well. I am delighted to have Emilyann take care of Luke in his own home, where he's most relaxed! Emilyann is great with animals, very calm and confident! I will utilize her skills again!
Bri did a terrific job. I have to say I was worried that Max was going to be too much for anyone to watch. It was first time we had someone watch him. He could be intimidating at 130 lbs and Bri found him to be nothing but a cuddle buddy. I highly recommended Bri and look forward to using her services again. Seriously , thank you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Merchantville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $25 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 9,041 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Merchantville. 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 Merchantville 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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 Merchantville 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 Merchantville. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 cancellation policy, 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.
