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.
“Sara and her boyfriend took great care of our pup. He was very anxious and protective of Sara when he first got there but he calmed down and became the snuggle pup he normally is. Thank you so much!”
“Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.”
“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!”
“Jonathan was great with Gus! Took him on so many walks in Knights park during his stay. Truly someone who cares for dogs. Also so cute to see Pogi and Gus chase each other lol”
“Mina was very good with everything no one else was available for my needs but she was very reliable and kept me updated I will definitely recommend her and visit again she gets 5stars from me”
“Anna was an amazing sitter for Binx! He stayed with her for 5 nights while we were out of town, and she kept us updated every step of the way with pictures and updates on how he was doing. 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.”
“Hendry was so so amazing with our little Frankie! He is a nervous boy with separation anxiety, but was able to transition easily and feel comfortable in Hendry’s home. Hendry made the process so easy, and regularly sent updates and pictures! Thank you for taking such good care of Frankie!”
“Nicole was simply the best dog sitter ever! Canada loved hanging out with her dogs and came home happy and relaxed - there's nothing better than knowing your pet is in such good hands. She also gave me a great recommendation on a puzzle feeder that my pup loves. A+ all around!!”
“Yuiko is the best! My dog is very anxious little chiwawa She is understanding and takes excellent care of our furry baby when we are long away. She provides updates and pictures, giving us peace of mind knowing our little guy is enjoying his time. I was worry free during the trip because of Yuiko. I highly recommend Yuiko .We are so grateful we found her!!”
“Patricia was great with my dog! She sent plenty of photos and kept in constant communication with me. She treated my dog as her own and tended to any of his needs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and never felt like I had to worry. I will definitely continue to use her services!”
“Maria and her family took wonderful care of my dog for a weekend. She was easy to coordinate with, was very thoughtful about making my (somewhat anxious) dog comfortable in the new environment, and kept me updated throughout. Thank you Maria!”
“Not only was Deena able to help us out super last minute but we felt very comfortable with her care ! We boarded our separation anxiety-prone pup for 4 nights and i think she actually had a great time. Deenas own dog -Athena -was a great buddy for our pup, too. Thanks again, Deena!”
“Hyann is the absolute best. She was so kind and patient with Francis, who can take a minute to warm up to people. She gave regular updates and honestly spoiled him in the best possible way. 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.”
“Absolutely wonderful caretaker who loves your baby just as much as you do, she was consistent with updates and was happy to send photos because she wanted too, 5 stars”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Erika! She took such amazing care of our dog Layla while we were away. 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!”
“Eunji was very communicative and sent lots of pics, and was sure to give our dog lots of exercise! Very easy to schedule and work out drop-off and pickup as well.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Merchantville
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!
Chelsea was wonderful with Leo during his weekend stay! She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the weekend, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing Leo was in good hands. We’re so happy with the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We’d happily book with her again!
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!
Marissa and Kevin are seriously the best. We went to Europe for a week and they had everything under control and our pup was extremely well take care of. I feel like I am leaving our baby with family when we drop our pup off. I am overjoyed to have found Marissa and Kevin and look forward to leaving our pup in their capable hands for a long time to come.
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.
This was our second time having our pet stay with Shannon, and once again, we couldn’t be happier! She takes such great care of our pet and gives them lots of love and attention. We really appreciate the regular updates while we’re away—it gives us such peace of mind knowing our pet is in good hands. We highly recommend Shannon and will definitely be using her again!
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!!

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.
