“Our cat had never been alone for extended time before. Mary was very kind, spending time with him to play and make sure that he was comfortable with her. She was reliable and tool of his needs and kept us updating with Oreo's well being, which made us feel at ease while away.”
“Brijana took great care of our cat. She made us feel very comfortable leaving her in her care and our cat instantly ran to her upon our initial consult. Brijana asked many questions during our consult, took notes, and made sure everything was in order before our trip. She was reliable, conscientious, and great to work with, even sending adorable photos during her visits. We will definitely be hiring her again and recommend her highly!”
“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!”
“We highly recommend Ellen for all your animal care needs! She was so responsive from the start - and did an excellent job looking after our older dog Ella while we were out of town. We absolutely hope to work with her again in the future if she is available!”
About: I’ve loved animals from a very young age and have experience with all kinds of pets. I have about 15 years experience working in a very busy specialty veterinary hospital as a vet nurse for their emergency service. So you can trust your pets are getting the best care and I can spot a potential health issue/emergency if something were to arise. Along with my medical background I have a great deal of experience and interest in animal behavior and training. Having worked with my own dogs and worked directly with trainers for my own knowledge. The hospital I worked for was fear free certified, I absolutely carry those gentle and patient techniques over when working with your pets. Taking the time to gain trust is super important! I recently moved back to this area, I went to school in haddon heights. Since moving back my schedule is pretty open so I can focus on taking care of your pets! I have my own car and can come to your house so your pet(s) don’t have to stress in an unfamiliar environment. Alternatively I do offer day boarding in my home which has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to run. Whatever the circumstances, I am available by phone/text always and will happily send updates and pics as often as you’d like so you can enjoy your time away from your pets.
“Daniel stuck it out when my dog Nelly gave him a hard time during her check-in! She’s very skeptical of strangers, but he won her over and provided great commentary throughout the process. Hugely appreciated!”

“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”
“Justin was truly great! My dogs are senior dogs and require a lot of special attention, but he never missed a beat. He sent me plenty of photos and detailed updates about what happened during each visit. It was a relief to know my dogs were being well taken care of. I plan to use Justin again!”
About: I have a dog at home, but due to her reactivity I am unable to foster or adopt other animals. I love playing and being around all types of animals. I’ve housesat for my family and friends since I was about 13. I would love to help out and take care of your furry friends while you’re away! I am currently working Monday-Friday 9-5 during the week. So my availability would be Friday to Sunday, so if you need a weekend getaway I’m your girl! My home is unavailable for petsitting due to my dogs reactivity, so caring for your animal in your home would be mostly just following your rules! It’s important to learn your dogs usual schedule to help them feel more comfortable while you are away!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merchantville
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.
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!
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.

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 .

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 .
