“This is our second time booking Charles and he is excellent with our cats! Very responsive to messages and does a great job remembering our feeding instructions. We really appreciate him!”
“Alicia was such a delight and really made us feel comfortable taking time away from home. We have a senior cat who needs some TLC and and she did all the right things to keep him happy and stressfree until we got home. We LOVED the photos and daily updates. Genuinely unsure how she managed to get some of the photos, Loki is camera shy 😅 I will deff book again with Alicia!”

From feeding and walks to cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want you to have a good peace of mind while you’re away.
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter while we were away. He took excellent care of Julie and Romeo, made sure they were fed, let outside regularly, and kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the communication, reliability, and attention he gave them. I would definitely trust him to watch Julie and Romeo again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable pet care.”

Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or extended stays, I tailor everything to your pets routine and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, and pets needing meds. I’ll send regular photo and text updates so you know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I have an open and flexible schedule this summer and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute requests.

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.
“Brianna was kind enough to accept our very last minute request and came over to meet the cats and get care instructions ahead of time. Very happy to have found a friendly and professional sitter in our new town.”
About: Volunteered at dog day care/ grooming center for 6 months, I’ve dog sat for family friends when they went away on trips. I have 2 dogs one a bully mix the other a pincher mix From the moment I wake up I’m greeted by my two dogs Coco and Luna who I have to make sure are fed and clean When at home I try to play with my dogs a ton or teach them new tricks which hasn’t worked yet but I’m hopeful :)

So my weekends are ready for play time with your pet. I like to stay active so taking your pet out to enjoy nature will be a blast. If I’m not in the gym on my spare time then I’m definitely cuddled up with a puppy. I have puppy friends for your pet to have a play date outdoors. I care for pets at my clients home because I’m willing to make the commute.
“Daniel was super thoughtful and a great pet sitter for my cat Roy. Roy fell in love with him immediately, and I received lots of updates and pictures throughout. I'll happily rebook!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes — from small breeds to large — and I truly understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine. Having a dog as a companion brings so much joy, and I treat every dog in my care with that same love and respect. Over the years, I’ve helped family and friends by dropping in for potty breaks, providing companionship, and caring for their dogs while they’re away. Being trusted with someone’s pet is something I take seriously. I know how important it is to keep dogs comfortable, safe, and on their regular routine. What sets me apart is that I don’t see dog sitting as just a service — I see it as caring for a member of your family. Whether your dog needs playtime, a calm and reassuring presence, or simply someone dependable to keep things running smoothly while you’re away, I’m here to help. Your dog’s happiness and well-being will always be my priority. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m a part-time preschool teacher, which means I’m available after 2 PM on weekdays for drop-ins, walks, and play time with your pups! My afternoons are open and flexible, allowing me to give your dog the attention and care they deserve. I’m also available for weekend check-ins, making it easy to support you whether you’re away, working late, or just need an extra helping hand. I take care of pets right in your home, so they stay comfy and stress-free in their own space. I make sure they get their meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I follow your routine and any special instructions so your furry friend feels happy and safe while you’re away.
“Kendra is a pro! We needed help at the last minute to walk our dog; Kendra responded quickly and showed up to care for a new client like she's known him for years. So thankful and appreciative of her services. Highly recommend!!”
“Alexis was fantastic! She provided pictures, videos, and great communication concerning my Boxer, Lucy, while I was away. I would definitely hire her again, and highly recommend her!”
About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. While I've mostly worked with medium to large sized dogs, small dogs and cats are great as well and I have experience playing, walking, feeding, and bathing animals in all walks of life. I work part-time while playing softball over the span of the summer, but I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets. I love all animals and will treat yours with as much respect as I do my own, while also being sure to cater to your specific pet's needs.
“Brielle was wonderful with our pup Hudson! She was friendly, reliable and made sure Hudson was well cared for with daily drop in service three times per day for a long weekend. Brielle arrived on time for the drop in times shared and left great feedback / notes so we knew he was in good hands. Brielle even watered my porch plants and they looked better than before I left. Thank you!”

Brijana took great care of our cat. She made us feel very comfortable leaving her in her care and our cat instantly ran to her upon our initial consult. Brijana asked many questions during our consult, took notes, and made sure everything was in order before our trip. She was reliable, conscientious, and great to work with, even sending adorable photos during her visits. We will definitely be hiring her again and recommend her highly!
Kelsey was amazing with my cat! We just moved to our new house before a week away, so I was feeling a little worried about Bitsy's being without us. But Kelsey's visits clearly made my kitty happy. The daily photos, videos and other home updates were fantastic. Thank you so much, Kelsey!! Highly recommend!
Amy was amazing! This was the first time ever trying rover and we went with Amy. She was truly amazing from the very first second we met her. Leaving your pets alone for the very first time is scary let alone having a stranger in your house while you are away. Amy was amazing and we felt completely safe with her. She took good care of our kitties and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again for future vacations. Thank you so much Amy! 💜
Carly was fantastic and was super communicative from the start as it was our first time using Rover. She provided great updates and always responded quickly to any questions we had. It’s always tough having someone new come in and take care of your dog, but Carly was amazing and dasher loved her right away. We can’t wait to use Carly again in the future.
So grateful for having found Tara - reliable, responsible, gives good visit reports, and has incredible patience trying to catch a quick photo of our shy and elusive calico! Tara has taken care of our cat a few times when we’ve been away and we trust her as our go-to. Highly recommend. Thank you Tara!
Gokhan and Sue are fantastic! They are so communicative, caring, and thoughtful. They really get to know your cats, and genuinely care about them, playing in ways that will engage your cat and respecting their boundaries. They have great attention to detail, and provide excellent photos throughout the session. You know you can trust them to take great care of your babies! Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Merchantville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,788 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Merchantville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Merchantville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merchantville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 pet, 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.
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.
