About: I recently finished medical school and have a few months off before residency starts. I am not used to having so much time on my hands and would love to use the time to help care for your pet! I have been dog sitting for about 8 year now and recently got my own puppy. Depending on your pet he can come on walks with us or stay at home. I have experience with puppies all the way through senior dogs. I also have experience and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I recently finished medical school and now have a few months of vacation. Right now my schedule is very open and I am able to provide care at any time you need. I can watch your dog in my home. I do have my own 5 month old puppy. He loves other dogs but definitely had puppy energy so bringing the right dog into my home is a must. I’d be happy to walk your dog in the parks in my area. I love hiking in the woods with my dogs.
“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.”

About: I have taken care of dogs near me. I enjoy taking them on walks to a dog park near me. I love spending time with dogs and cats and will give them all my attention if I’m anywhere near them. I will make sure they have a lot of time outside if needed and any special requests as well. I will provide a protected and clean environment for dogs and cats with lots of toys to choose from. I will ensure that the dog or cat is happy by providing ample play time, plenty of exercise, and stimulation for its mind. I will build a bond of mutual love and respect with any dog. I am so excited to start meeting pets here and getting to know their personalities!
“Chekera was amazing dropping in on our cat, Oreo. Oreo is older and not always the friendliest, but he warmed to Chekera right away. Chekera did a fantastic job checking in on Oreo and communicating with us consistently. We had peace of mind knowing that Oreo was being well taken care of, and he was much happier when we came home than he usually is!”
“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!”
“Karina was professional, friendly, and responsive with scheduling, and provided great care for my cat. I was confident that the necessary care was provided. I have already rebooked with Karina!”
“Brijana was absolutely wonderful with our cat. She took such great care to keep her food fresh and her water full, and most importantly gave her plenty of pets and snuggles. It was clear our cat felt comfortable and loved while we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. We’re so grateful for Brijana and would happily trust her again.”
“Gabrielle was amazing with my babies and helped me with a last minute sitting which I am incredibly thankful for! Great communication - extremely thoughtful - my grumpy senior kitty loved her. I can’t say enough good things - thank you so much!”
“Denille is the best and a blessing to work with. She took care of Hooch like he was her own. She even recognized he was sick and worked with me and my vet to get him care and saving his life after he got into some left overs and ate onions. Will be hiring again as she is trustworthy and loving!”
“Nicole was kind enough to do a last minute drop in visit for our pup. Our dog can be a little timid and anxious around new people and Nicole had him cuddling on the couch and playing tug of war with her. Would love to have her do another visit in the future!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom of 15+ years. I’ve cared for pups of all ages—from wiggly little puppies to sweet senior dogs—and I treat every furry friend like family. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or medication time, I’ve got it covered with love and experience. You can count on me for awesome care, big heart, and lots of tail wags while you’re away! I work part-time remotely, so I have the time and flexibility to meet an animal's needs. I am home for the majority of the day, including weekends. I live in a beautiful community with plenty of walking paths, your animal would be free to roam my home, or I can create your animal if or when desired. I am also open to stopping by your home to provide feeding/walking services.
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!

I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I currently am working 4 days a week and love to do this as a part time job! Any time I am not at work, I am available to your fur babies! I make sure pets stay comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In clients’ homes, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty clean-up, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe and happy!
About: I’m already pet sit through another site and have decided to expand my services to Rover! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Whether it was dogs, cats, or other animals, having pets around has always been a big part of my life. I have been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since elementary school. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, even wild ones! My experience spans beyond just cats and dogs; I’ve cared for reptiles, bunnies, frogs, fish, and even farm animals. I pride myself on being clean, respectful, and attentive to the needs of the pets I care for. I enjoy getting to know each animal and learning to care for them in the best suitable way.
“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”
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!
“Ayo has been amazing! Very detailed and caring check-ins. He made sure to go above and beyond for our bunnies and dog. We’ll definitely ask him to watch them again in the future!”
Merchantville dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with our dog sitter while we were away. He took excellent care of Julie and Romeo, made sure they were fed, let outside regularly, and kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the communication, reliability, and attention he gave them. I would definitely trust him to watch Julie and Romeo again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable pet care.
She was of great help when I took a 12 day trip to Italy. My wife works and could not let the dog out during the day. Normally, I worked a few blocks away and/or from home, and could feed the dog lunch and let him out into the yard as needed, as well as play with him. Carly was amazingly gracious, incredibly helpful and accommodating and ensured that my dog ate lunch at the right time, had yard time and love. We left her keys to the house and she handled this responsibility as a consummate professional. Very trustworthy and responsible. I will totally use her services again and am very glad I found her.
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!
