About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. While I've mostly worked with medium to large sized dogs, small dogs and cats are great as well and I have experience playing, walking, feeding, and bathing animals in all walks of life. I work part-time while playing softball over the span of the summer, but I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets. I love all animals and will treat yours with as much respect as I do my own, while also being sure to cater to your specific pet's needs.
About: i’ve been around dogs my whole life, and have experience, caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering, basic medication’s, or providing companionship, I understand the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine to ensure they receive personalized care. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to providing a positive experience for both pets in their owners. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your dog is getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care. As a student, I am not working a full-time job and I manage my time carefully and have availability throughout the week to provide dependable pet care. My daily routine involves going on walks during the week anyway. spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so dog walks and pet visits fit naturally into my routine. I make sure to schedule my responsibilities in a way that allows me to give petty attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I currently have one dog right now named Gracie! Caring for her includes feeding, walking, playtime, and just making sure she receives plenty of attention and affection. when caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the pets established routine and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I maintain feeding, walking, and medication schedules, keep the home, clean and secure, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well. My goal is to make pets, feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I like to care for my clients pets, just as I would want my pets cared for!
“Alexis was a great sitter for our cat Atlas and our betta fish Simon, excellent communications throughout, provided great status pics, and was overall someone whom I would trust with all our pets. She will be on our regular sitter rotation going forward!”
“Justin did a fantastic job with my 3 kittehs! Excellent communication every step of the way, photos and updates, solid play time, and they greeted him at the door from the get-go. They recognize a good dude when they meet one! I highly recommend Justin!”
“I can’t recommend Brielle enough! My dog is typically very nervous around new people, but Brielle did an amazing job making her feel comfortable. Not only did she take the time to get her out for a walk, feed her dinner and squeeze in extra play time, but she went above and beyond in caring for her. Brielle didn’t just come in, let her outside, and leave—she ensured that my dog was happy and at ease. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she provided. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”
“Brijana is great! She is extremely responsive and keeps us up to date on how our cats are doing while we're out of town. She seems to genuinely care about the well-being of our cats, which means a lot to us! We highly recommend her, and we will definitely re-book with her in the future!”

“Alex did a great job taking care of our Miley while we were away. Went the extra mile and gave her newly prescribed meds as needed and even took our mail/packages in the house. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again!”
“Jami is the best! She always takes great care of my pup and sends thorough updates with tons of photos. She truly wants my pup to have the best experience possible and does everything she can to make me feel at ease while she’s watching him. I will be using Jami in the future!”
“Gabrielle was amazing! Incredibly responsive and gave us such helpful updates while we were away for the weekend, including letting us know about our pups’ moods/how they seemed to be fairing. Also went above and beyond and kindly brought in our packages! We were in such a last minute bind and this was our first time with Rover, but Gabrielle truly saved the day and kept us confident in knowing that our pups were safe and cared for. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Denille was absolutely fantastic! Hooch quickly felt comfortable with her and was excited for her visits. She maintained his schedule on time and accurately. I wouldn’t hire anyone one else if I am in need of a sitter. Another upside is I think my Hooch is planning vacations for me so he can see Denille again.”
“Hali has been a life saver. So grateful for her. She took pics and kept me up to date with her visits. Loved the pictures. She is compassionate towards the animals. Will definitely use her again”
“Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!”

About: Long-time Dog Lover and Owner Here! I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, ranging from Beagles to Pits but I love all breeds of dogs. Over the years I’ve done lots of dog sitting for friends and family and am always up for some good play time and cuddle time with doggos. I’m experienced with administering medication to dogs and cats. I’m also a quick learner and will be very mindful about particular requests in caring for your dog. I love to walk all over the city and look forward to taking your fur babies along with me!. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your pups with lots of love! Note: Unfortunately, I cannot care for or accommodate cats as I am highly allergic :( I currently work mornings until 2pm and live close to work so I have full afternoons and evenings available for your fur baby. I’m also off on weekends and have open availability. I have a fenced in yard and no pets currently. I do have a 5-year-old child but she has been around dogs and is very kind and gentle with them. However, your dog must be ok with small children. I also live in a neighborhood with wide sidewalks and a nearby playground making it super easy to walk your dog. I also have a car so I can easily drive to places in the area to for drop-in visits and dog sitting.
“Wonderful job visiting and taking care of our 2 cats (including 1 diabetic) while we were away! She made everything very easy and gave us great peace of mind. I would gladly trust my fur babies to Katina again!”
About: I've worked for a small pet sitting business (dog walking and cat sitting) for 9 years! I've taken care of puppies since they were little until they're huge! I can handle (easygoing) big dogs (Newfies) and am a total cat lover, too! I'm especially a sucker for senior pets. I'm responsible and reliable and always get to my appointments on time. I've done everything from walked, fed, given fresh water, cleaned litter boxes, bathed, and administered topical meds. I’m starting my own pet sitting business and am looking for both regular dailies clients as well as pet sitting/vacation clients! This is what I wish my full time job to be. I follow client instructions and make sure everything is thoroughly clear and understood prior to visit with your pet! Just give me your preferences beforehand. I am a very thorough communicator and will provide thorough updates! The only animals I am uncomfortable with visiting are ones with aggressive streaks- I've been bitten before and it's never fun!
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15. I’ve dealt with a range of task when it comes to pets, and have cared for animals big to small and young to old. I am extremely comfortable with pets and even have a dog and cat of my own! Since I have pets of my own, I frequently find myself walking my dog or spending one on one time with my cat. Pet care is a natural part of my day to day life! I love to give pets and make a pet feel cared for and safe. A calm environment is sometimes all an animal needs to feel loved!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merchantville
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!
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!
Jessenya was extremely responsive and prompt with her communication before during and after visits. This was our first time using rover and she made it so much easier leaving our pups behind for such a long time. The photos are great and you can tell she really engaged and spent time with the dogs! Will be asking for her help again!

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.

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.

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.

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.
