About: Hi! I’m Kaylin, a dog lover with over two years of professional experience as a dog bather. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who can’t sit still to sweet senior dogs who just want a little extra patience and love. Working in a grooming salon taught me how to safely handle dogs, recognize when they’re feeling nervous, and help them feel comfortable and cared for. One of my favorite parts of the job was getting to know each dog’s unique personality (and handing out lots of belly rubs and compliments along the way!). Whether your pup needs a fun walk, someone to keep them company while you’re away, or plenty of playtime and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I know our pets are family, and I’ll care for yours with the same attention and kindness I’d want for my own baby. i also would bathe cats sometimes! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and visits to make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m used to being around animals every day from my experience as a professional dog bather, so caring for pets feels like a normal and rewarding part of my routine. I make sure to give each pet personalized attention, follow their usual schedule, and keep them comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special preferences their pet may have. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and provide plenty of attention, patience, and care. My two years of experience as a professional dog bather has helped me become comfortable handling dogs with different temperaments and needs, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every pet I look after.

I broke my foot this summer and was unable to walk my Cinnamon. Kathy has walked her 3x week for 12wks now, and I couldn't be happier with her. She is prompt and reliable, she has not missed a walk in the 12 wks. She responds to texts right away. And on top of that, Kathy is very personable and easy to talk to. But most importantly, my Cinnamon loves her and is so excited for her walks. So thank you, Kathy!

Emilyann seems to be taking very good care of my boy, Jake. She arrives on time and lets me know when she gets there and how he is responding to her. He seems to like her very much! At this time I do not need regular visits; however, I shall definitely call her again as soon as I need a dog walker/sitter again.

About: Caring for pets is my passion. I'm a veterinary assistant with experience in general practice, emergency/critical care, and medical oncology. 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. Availability is subject to change when I begin working full time. My priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable. I am well versed in animal behavior and reading their body language. I always approach pets in a calm, gentle manner.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands on experience raising five dogs from puppies all the way through adulthood. Because I've gone through every stage, from potty training and teething to obedience work and senior care, I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) who is 6 months old that I've raised since she was just 13 weeks old. She's incredibly sweet, well socialized, and gets along great with other dogs. She's also a great role model for younger pups and helps make introductions smooth and positive. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or just needs a reliable routine, I'll make sure they're treated like part of the family while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment where both you and your pup can feel completely at ease. 🐶 Experienced puppy raiser | Dog lover for life | Reliable, attentive, and passionate about happy pups 🐾 🏡 I Work From Home = More Time for Your Pups! 🐾 One of the biggest perks of booking with me is that I work from home, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. While I'm home, based, I'm far from sedentary! I stay very active and love spending time outdoors, going on walks, and keeping pups engaged and happy. Whether your dog is a couch cuddler or an energetic adventurer, I'll make sure they get the exercise, playtime, lounging and love they deserve. In my home, pets enjoy: 🐾 Consistent feeding and potty schedules 🐾 Plenty of exercise and playtime 🐾 A comfortable, dog-friendly environment 🐾 Lots of love, attention, and cuddles 🐾 Supervised socialization with my friendly German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) I have raised five dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I'm experienced with different ages, temperaments, and care needs. My GSP has been with me since she was 13 weeks old and is incredibly sweet, well-mannered, and great with other dogs. I also want to be transparent that I have a young child in the home. Because of this, I can only accept dogs that are comfortable around children and have a friendly, non-aggressive temperament. The safety and comfort of all family members, both two-legged and four-legged, are my top priority. With that being said, my child knows boundaries and will not be engaging much. When providing care in a client's home, I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you're gone. 🐾💕

About: Hi! I'm Nicole and I am a dancer/choreographer/dance teacher/mom currently living in Collingswood. With the little time that I have off I thought this would be the perfect way to make a little extra cash AND to get to hang out with some animals! I have been dog/cat sitting since high school and always treat every animal as if it's my own. I never had a pet growing up (I was one of 4 kids so there was no time or space for a dog) but have always been a huge pet lover! I currently have a 13 year old cat named Pistachio who I love more than anything. I would love to get the chance to hang out with your furry friend! I am the main person who takes care of my cat. I make sure she has water, food, clean her litter box, and okay with her. I have free time often and I love going for walks! I prefer not to have pets in my home so I like going to others homes to sit their animals. I treat the home and the pet as if they were my own.

We had a great experience with Robbie caring for Chloe and Maisie. He was kind, reliable, communicative, and very attentive to both girls. His updates throughout the week were always thoughtful and reassuring, and we loved the photos he sent! Our puppy is very nervous with new people and even more nervous outside on a leash. Robbie didn’t seem worried when we told him this, and we now know why. We were genuinely impressed by how comfortable Maisie became with him. He was calm, patient, and encouraging, and we saw noticeable progress in her confidence and willingness to walk in the neighborhood over the course of the week. It really says a lot about him that she trusted him so quickly. Robbie was also respectful of our home and handled an unexpected mess with professionalism and kindness. He clearly cares about the dogs he works with, and it shows. We felt completely comfortable having him care for our girls, and seeing how excited and comfortable both dogs are with him says everything. We can’t wait to have him back to visit them again!

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other pets for the past year and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away or at work. 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.

Whether that be a dog, cat, fish, reptiles or even animals like hamsters and rabbits every single one them have been given the love and attention needed!

So if you need to go out of town for an overnight I have plenty experience in house sitting as well. I always make sure that they have a proper sleep schedule and also make sure their day is full of activities and excitement so they don’t miss a beat when they are back in the arms of their wonderful owner.

Amy has been a blessing. Our Santi has anxiety and generally takes quite a while to warm up to people. Finding a walker/sitter has been a challenge. When Amy came for a meet and greet Santi barked only a couple times before deciding Amy is her new BFF! I was worried she might change her attitude when Amy came to walk her. Amazingly, so far it's been great! Amy is a dog whisperer. I feel completely at ease know Amy will be staying with Santi when I travel for business. Thank you so much, Amy! We appreciate you tremendously.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Merchantville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Merchantville on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 9,224 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Merchantville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Merchantville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Merchantville.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merchantville. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
