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.
“Pamela has been wonderful and so accommodating. She was communicative about our nervous little guy and gave us peace of mind. We needed an extra visit and she was there for us! Highly recommend.”
“Jacqueline is an awesome sitter. My kitties were so happy and healthy when we got home. She's great at making sure our cat got his medicine everyday and that they both felt loved. She also did a great job housesitting and making sure my garden survived our time away.”
“We are so grateful that Sarah could do a couple drop-in visits on such short notice. Sarah is great with Marbles and making sure he gets what he needs. Thanks again for all your help!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merchantville
Amanda did a drop-in visit and walk with our dog Ellie while we were gone for a long day. She was professional and reliable and it was so nice to know Ellie would have a nice walk and some attention (and be fed!) while we were gone for the day. Would definitely have Amanda take care if Ellie again!
Brie did a terrific job taking care of our GSD over the course of a few days! Right from the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with a large, playful dog. Brie was timely and clear in her communication. She was punctual for each drop-in session. Highly recommend!
Nicole was amazing! Very quick and polite communication. Took great daily photos and followed up with everything! She even handled some things that were outside of my initial request, to make sure we returned to a good situation. Would definitely recommend her, and will be using her again myself!
Carly was fantastic and was super communicative from the start as it was our first time using Rover. She provided great updates and always responded quickly to any questions we had. It’s always tough having someone new come in and take care of your dog, but Carly was amazing and dasher loved her right away. We can’t wait to use Carly again in the future.
Shielamae is AMAZING! Super easy to work with and willing to do what she can to help out. Her services are well priced and WORTH IT. Shielamae helped me with a last minute booking that saved my entire trip, I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re struggling to pick between a sitter, look no further!
Kelsey put my mind at easy while out of town for a week. I booked Kelsey for daily drop-in visits for my cat and senior dog and it was evident that they both warmed up to her very quickly. She administered medication and provided detailed updates. I was able to have a stress free trip and will be booking with her again.
Chuck was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Atlas! Atlas is a large breed with a very 'big' personality and can be a bit intimidating with his barking at first, but Chuck handled him with professional ease and a great 'dogs will be dogs' attitude. We really appreciated the detailed visit summaries and the photos he sent for every single drop-in—it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chuck is professional, reliable, and clearly great with animals. Atlas was so happy when we returned! We will definitely be booking Chuck again for our future trips and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Cheyenne was fantastic with my pets! She helped me out last minute with my cat and two dogs and did a great job with them. They were happy and well taken care of when I got back, and my house looked exactly as I left it. She was very communicative and left very detailed report cards about what she did each time she visited. I would highly recommend her!
Robert was very responsive, professional and an amazing person. We had a cancelation the day before we were to leave for our wedding and Robert showed up within 10 minutes of accepting the request. We felt so at ease once we met and every time Robert stopped by there was an excellent recap of his visit with Persi and great pictures too! We even asked Robert to visit 5 times one day and he was more than happy to take care of this. Excellent all around, will definitely rebook with him in the future!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Merchantville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

- 96% 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 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.
