“It's hard to find someone to control my 90lb Doberman but Artesha handled him with ease, knowledgeable, responsive, and Attentive I can't put into words how great she is with my puppy.”
“I highly, highly recommend Bri for a sitter. My Rosie is 3.5 lbs and was so happy to see her every morning. Bri was so loving and caring and took extra steps to make sure she was happy and felt loved. I didn't worry while I was at work because she gave me updates and sent pictures thru out the day. Thank you Bri from the bottom of my heart for the love and care Rosie received. If I come back, you will Def be my Rosie person. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Michelle & Mike were great! Super flexible with my drop off/pick up. Kept me informed through the day! My pup was SO tired out after playing with their dog Bailey!! Will definitely be using them again.”
“I needed a last minute sitter for a few hours and was coming from out of town. Bri was fantastic! She was very prompt in responding to my initial outreach (late evening the night before) and was very easy to work with. She took care of Miley and shared unprompted updates of Miley and her dog Piggy playing - which was very much appreciated! I would recommend working with Bri!”
“Sarah is amazing. She took such great care of my puppy Tuna. She is responsive and keeps me up-to-date throughout the day. Tuna got along really well with her dog, Harry. Tuna loved her stay and I'm sure she did not want to leave!”
About: My love for dogs is endless. The fun dogs, the shy dogs, dogs of all ages. A very quiet home with playtime if they want it or quiet time that they need. I provide lots of enrichment and a full secure yard where they can run and play, or just sun bathe. I have been dog sitting for years and I've also been a part of a dog rescue where I've seen everything. Each one of our family members deserves love and respect and a little extra when their family is on vacation. It should be a relaxing time for our canine family too! I pride myself on the reaction of my visitors when they come back over and over!!! My schedule allows for me to give your family members all the time and attention they could ask for in my home. I am home most of the time and spend as much time as possible with our furry family members. I have a fully fenced in yard, but no one is out in the yard unattended. I also have the ability to completely separate dogs with separate exits/entrances if your dog needs special care. All dogs are able to go on couches and dog beds throughout the house and if they need their own space, I have that capability as well. The separate room has it's own tv, couch and is where I spend most of my day working. If our visitor is friendly, they are able to keep us company throughout the house. Smoke-free home.
“Sometimes you find a sitter that loves your dog as much as you do. That's Erica! Zach walked into her house like he lived there...and went straight for the basket of toys! Erica sent photos throughout the day, and we could see what a great time Zach was having. We highly recommend Erica to take care of your furry boy or girl.”
“Chekera loved and took care of Benji like he was her own. After we left her apartment Benji looked back at her door and didn’t want to leave. Thank you Chekera for taking care of my pup!”
“Zyiana, was highly communicative and flexible. I needed doggy daycare for my fur baby in a pinch and she showed up. She provided tons of great photos along with taking my baby on 3 walks”
“I contacted Jonathan to watch my dog for a few hours while I was in the area visiting family. His response time was prompt. He was very thorough with details to ensure I had given him all the information he would need while watching my dog. His dog is delightful, & treated my dog very well when we introduced them. Jonathan’s demeanor was calm & warm, and my dog seemed to take to him immediately. His home was stunningly decorated, & comfortable. He was set up for any needs my dog might have. He lives close to a large park. He was very responsive during my dog’s stay via text & photo. I would book with him again.”
“Victoria was a wonderful sitter for Joy! She and her sister took my girl for a car ride which she loves. Joy looked so excited and happy when I picked her up so I knew she had a great time with Victoria. She has a beautiful home with SO much space for Joy to play and Joy even had a playmate, Victoria’s pup Bailey! I would certainly recommend her and would book with her again if I’m in the Philadelphia area. Thank you Victoria for caring for my girl!”
“Hendry and his wife took full responsibility for my puppy beagle. They pay attention for details and treat Teddy with great professionalism. I would recommend Hendry for my friends.”
“Lan was fantastic! I was in a bind with a last minute in-office work assignment that required a sitter for my four-month-old puppy, Nahala; and Lan stepped up and offered to take her on. She and her family were kind and made us both comfortable with our first-time experience. Nahla had a great time and was was very well taken care of. I wouldn't hesitate to seek out Lan again, next time we're in need of a sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merchantville
I had a wonderful experience with Artesha watching my puppy. She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated with photos. My puppy came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. It's such a relief to know my dog was in good hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.
Natalie did a great job watching my dog, also named Luna! She had great communication and sent pictures of the two Lunas together to keep me updated. She learned about Luna before she came so she could prepare and make her comfortable. I recommend Natalie for any pup sitting!
First time using Rover. Jessica was amazing with my boy and communicative throughout the day. She included updates with pictures and notes about how Kaos was doing. She was also very fast with responses and flexible with time. Kaos has a lot of anxiety but Jessica kept him comfortable and he had an amazing 2 days! Will be booking with her again!
Dan was great with our girl Bubbles. At the meet and great with his dog Frankie, he made sure to get all the details about Bubbles so he could take good care of her during her stay. He’s got a great yard for dogs to sniff around and his dog Frankie is super sweet. Dan clearly loves to care for the dogs that stay with him and treats them like a part of the family. We’ll definitely bring Bubbles back again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Merchantville on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Merchantville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,500 sitters in Merchantville, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
