“Gabrielle always takes such great care of our cat when we are away. He likes to get his wet food at the same time and she is great about accommodating this. Very responsive and always a delight to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

I have also volunteered as a puppy sitter for Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization dedicated to helping the visually impaired community. Growing up, I always helped family, friends, and neighbors care for their pets, and I began my professional career in veterinary medicine at 19 years old. My beloved dog Dovey crossed the rainbow bridge recently. I would love to offer pet sitting/dog walking services to help you, and to help heal my heart. I am currently available for pet sitting service in your home, and dog walking service. I am currently looking for full time employment.

The VIP Treatment: Post-pool pup cups, endless cuddles, and cozy nap times with the rest of the pack. Expert, Stress-Free Care: I have shadowed a Veterinarian and have over two decades of experience. From giving medications to caring for anxious pups or senior "old souls," your baby is in deeply experienced hands. All Species Welcome: While I love my dog and cat guests, my doors are also open to birds, ferrets, and some reptiles! For the safety, health, and comfort of all my furry guests, I do have a few quick house rules: All pups must be fully vaccinated All pups must be on an active flea and tick treatment Please disclose any known allergies (food or environmental) so I can keep them perfectly safe!

About: Currently, in our family, we have a senior dog, Edie. Edie was a rescue and we've had her since she was four, she's now twelve She is well attended to, from receiving her daily medications, to her regular vet visits. Edie is my constant companion. She is usually by my side all day long. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time available to watch and care for your K9. I am available with advanced notice. No longer inconvenienced by a work schedule. I am working on several projects for my model railroad club at home since I've retired. Our dog, Edie is well taken care of in our home. We make sure Edie is fed ever morning and receives her daily medications. She is taken to her regular vet visits. Since Edie is an older dog, she doesn't go for walks as often in the summertime but gets regular backyard visits. She does likes to sunbathe. When she's up to it, we wrestle and play rope tug from time to time. Edie is pretty much by my side all day long. You know you're pet the best, I will follow your directions, while you dog is in my care.

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!
“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: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy! I had a Golden Retriever for five and a half years who took daily medication, so I’m comfortable following specific routines and medication instructions. I’ve also fostered two dogs through rescue organizations, both of whom were successfully adopted. I’ve cared for four dogs through TrustedHousesitters and received 5-star reviews, and I’m the trusted dog sitter for family and friends. These experiences have given me the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work remotely full-time with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and will work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and your schedule. I live on my own with no other pets, so your pup will have my full attention! While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, there are plenty of grassy areas and sidewalks throughout my dog-friendly neighborhood that are perfect for walks and exploring. There are also plenty of friendly neighborhood dogs for pups who enjoy socializing, while everyone is respectful of dogs who prefer to have their own space. I’m happy to follow your pup’s comfort level and routine!
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. 🏡

Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, consistent care throughout the day and week I am great at adhering to whatever routine you have with you pet in your home! A quick rundown of meals, treats, walks, etc, and I am ready to care for your pet and put your mind at ease!

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!

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 .

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.

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.

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.
