“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 have a lazy 8 month old Labradane that I've never left with anyone before that isn't me or my fiancé. He's a very sensitive stomach little boy and his health is so important as he's in training to become my service dog so I wasn't going to leave him with just anyone. I contacted Brijana and set up a meet and greet. Once I met her I wasn't even worried. Her and her boyfriend were so sweet and asked great questions to get to know my boy, he instantly loved them too. First day with her and I felt bad having to go pick hemingway up because he was having so much fun!!! She was very informative, timely, professional, and just extremely welcoming. Cannot wait for his next stay and I highly recommend her. She's knowledgeable and pairs all of her animals accordingly!”
“I needed a sitter on very short notice, and Zyi (sorry if I spelled your name wrong 😓) was incredibly accommodating! She was quick to respond to messages, kept me updated throughout the stay, and made me feel completely at ease. My dog is also on medication, and Zyi was very attentive, making sure to double-check all of the instructions with me. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and comfort. I had a great experience and would absolutely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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. I've been involved in dog rescue for over 12 years. 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 me to give your family members all the time and attention they could ask for in my home. I am home most days and spend as much time as possible with your 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. 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.
“Erica was so accommodating, and provided great and frequent updates. Jeju was only with her for a bit, but we'd love to have her watch him again if we're ever back in the area!”
“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.”
“Ollie had an awesome time at Michael & Marceleena! He had plenty of exercise and cuddles. They were very cautious due to the pandemic and listened to all of our requests.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have a deep love for animals. My partner, Jeff and I adopted our dog Miso in early 2025, so we know from experience the “puppy blues” that can come with a new addition. We already have repeat clients and frequently dog-sit for friends, coworkers, and neighbors. We have experience caring for senior dogs, as well as post-spay care and administering medications from caring for own pup. Jeff and I both work full time on flexible hybrid schedules, so there will always be someone home during your dog’s stay. Our pup’s routine includes potty breaks in the morning, afternoon, evening, and one final outing before bed. Your dog will follow the same schedule unless they require a more specialized routine or level of care — we’re happy to accommodate their needs! Dog park visits are a regular occurrence as well. We don’t have a fenced yard, but our neighborhood is very dog-friendly with plenty of green space for your pup to explore and sniff to their heart’s content. Miso is crate-trained, and we also have additional crates available if your dog is more comfortable being crated as well.
“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!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”
“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
“Christie and Drew we’re so wonderful!! We decided last minute to go to a basketball game on our way through Philly and they took June in like she was their own, gave her so much love and even fed her when we didn’t have dinner for her. They were extremely communicative and sent a ton of pictures, the best dog sitters! Thank you!!!!!”
“john was amazing! kept us up to date on what artie was doing but also gave so much detail on who artie would be playing with and their plan for the night with him. he had such an amazing def, we will definitely book again!”
“Alessia & her partner were able to help watch my dog with last minute doggy day care booking! They were easy to communicate with and took my dog on a nice hour-long walk. Would book with them again!”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hendry! I was honestly so happy with the entire experience. From the moment I dropped Charlie off, I knew he was in great hands. Hendry was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with the most beautiful photos and messages throughout Charlie’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I arrived to pick Charlie up, they were already waiting for me at the door. It truly felt like VIP service from start to finish. His home is on a quiet street, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. Charlie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I would recommend Hendry to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional. 10/10 experience—I will absolutely be booking with him again!
Natalie took great care to learn our pup’s routines and was very patient with her as she transitioned to the new environment. She also kept us posted on how things were going and made sure Luna and our pup were getting along well. We feel very at ease leaving our dog with her!
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.
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.

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 2,516 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.
