About: I’m the go-to for all my family and friends who need their beloved doggos taken care of. From Frenchies to Labs. I have experience with walking, feeding, and playings with different types of dogs. I do have a 9-5 job, but my schedule is extremely flexible. I can make weeknights and all-day weekends work (Friday considered part of the weekend). I mostly take care of dogs at their homes. I follow all the directions set by their owners and try to make sure the dogs continue to feel at ease despite having an unfamiliar face around.

“As Always, Mary and Marlo are wonderful dog sitters. They show so much love, kindness, and care to our little Bentley. They always keep us updated with Pictures and written posts. If they have any questions, they don’t hesitate to ask. If they notice anything seems off, they will communicate right away. We’re always calm and worry free while away from our dog because we 100% know that he’s in great hands. Mary and Marlo are AWESOME!!! 1,000% recommend!”

She responded right away anytime we had questions, and he seemed to really love playing with her and her friends, going on nice long walks, and snuggling up with her when it got colder.”

She so thoroughly won over Francis that he doubled back to get good bye pet from her after we came to pick him up. Highly recommend. She's the best.”

We got regular updates and the most adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind knowing Layla was happy, safe, and loved. It was clear from the start that Erika truly cares about the dogs she watches — Layla immediately bonded with her. We arrived at pick-up to find a very happy and content pup. We highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Lauren was amazing to my Theo baby. She was very communicative, and sweet. Had all love for my pup, as well as her family. I also want to mention that she went above and beyond she understood that my dog had some anxiety with us leaving, so she was doing anything she could to get my dog to eat while in her care! Definitely recommend Lauren to watch ur fur baby!

Sue has been absolutely phenomenal with my cat. She not only sent me timely updates and pictures but took extra steps to get her toys, keep her engaged and involved in all daily activities like a great cat parent herself. She put my mind to ease and I felt my cat was in the best hands , in the safest loveliest home with a soulful joyous human that she is. I have found a second home for jelly whenever she needs it and would definitely be availing her wonderful help again.i wish more cats to experience the love Sue gives.

Ritch watched our boxer mix while we were out of the country for a week. Ritch really knows what he's doing while pet sitting. His professionalism and communication allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet. He knew how to make our dog comfortable and safe. We'd definitely bok again!

This was my first time using a border to watch my dog while I was on vacation. And I was very nervous about it. But as soon as I met Lan and saw how she connected with Luna, I was put at ease. Throughout the entire time we were away Lan provided numerous photos and videos of Luna and kept us up-to-date on how she was doing. When she got home, she adjusted very quickly and I could tell that she had enjoyed her time being taken care of by Lan. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She does an amazing job and she truly cares about the pets that she’s taken care of.

I cannot say enough nice things about Natalie. She was so communicative throughout Lenny's stay, kept me updated with photos and daily happenings during the day, and I could tell she treated and cared for him as much as she does her own dog, Luna. Thank you so much for caring for Lenny so well and giving me peace of mind when I was out of town. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a sitter and will certainly be asking her to watch Lenny again in the future. Thank you so much!!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Merchantville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Merchantville is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 3,384 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Merchantville. About 90% of Merchantville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
