“Charles did a great job taking care of our fur babies. We loved his hilarious check-ins and photos. Always on time and thorough with his care. We will request him again for our next family vacay!”
“Nicole is a lifesaver! My fur babies love her and she’s wonderful about sending pictures and updates while I’m away. I had a nightmare travel experience recently and she made sure I didn’t need to worry about them at all!”
“Amy was the *best* first Rover experience for my pets I could’ve asked for! She volunteered to come over the evening before to meet us and the dogs, and get acquainted with their routines. I knew Amy was a perfect fit for us because one of my dogs is initially very shy and takes a lot of time to warm up to family and friends. Upon first meeting she approached her with caution but within minutes was going right up to Amy for attention. My husband and I couldn’t believe one of the pics Amy sent us on the 2nd evening— this same “shy” dog was laying in Amy’s lap!!! With every drop-in, Amy arrived early, and stayed a couple extra minutes afterwards— allowing my dogs the time needed to do their business with more extra time for snuggles, playing, pets, and walks. She sent us multiple photos each visit and a summary of letting us know what they were up to. This gave us the peace of mind we were looking for and the confidence to rebook with Amy through Rover for all future outings.”
“Lex has been such a god send! So responsive and flexible to our needs. We are so thankful that our furry friend has someone like Lex to check in on her while we’re gone.”
“Matina and Amanda were amazing with our cat! They gave him plenty of attention and were very punctual! The daily notes with plenty of pictures were great. We came back to a very happy cat. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Erin took care of our cat while we were away for a week. We received daily updates and lots of pictures. Communication with Erin was excellent. Our cat was well taken care of. We will definitely ask Erin back in the future.”
“Dan visited our cat and made sure he got lots of love while we were away. Our cat needs two types of medication and he handled it all and kept us updated, which was a huge relief. Was glad we booked with him for this trip!”
About: Hi there my name is Christine. My Fiance and I live in Northern Liberties looking to hang out with some furry companions! We are both dog lovers! We love dogs of all ages and sizes. I am also able to perform baths, light grooming, walking pets, taking pet to the park, feeding and giving medicine, brushing and playing with them too. In addition, I certainly have learned the do's and dont's of taking care of dogs. I guarantee I will be able to nurture you dog/s in your absence. I am flexible with the days and hours. I look forward to caring for your pets! We are available on weekends for both dog walking and boarding, which makes us a great option if you’re planning a getaway or just need a little extra help! We provide a clean, secured and calm environment where your dog will always be supervised and cared for like family. We are attentive to each dogs individual needs, routines, and comfort levels.
“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”
About: I’ve been dealing with pets all of my life. From the tiniest of them all to the biggest you can think of in different types of towns and areas. So basically it comes naturally. I think of pets as a baby , you treat them with a lot of care and give them all of your time. I think Each dog gives you new experiences and it teaches you a lot. I’m all for learning new things. Animals love me and I love them. If you want a 24 hour service care I’m the one to call. Turn my house into OUR house and call it their own as well. Energetic , fun , lovable , caring , compassionate , patient , comforting , and playful!
About: New to Rover, but I’ve taken care of dogs for over 12 years and cats for over 5 years, and can always be sure to feed, walk, and provide medication to your pets in a timely manner. My apartment is ensured to be pet-proofed and a cozy environment for most any dog. Your pets are your babies and I will make sure to treat them as if they were my own!! I also have two close DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) friends on speed dial to consult in case of any emergencies. Happy to chat more and gain a new niece/nephew!! I currently work from home Monday through Wednesday and am home by 6 on days that I am in office (Thursday/Friday). Weekends I am home for the majority of the day, so from Saturday-Wednesday I can ensure that your fur baby gets enough play time and attention throughout the day! For weekend boarding, I’m happy to chat through earlier arrangements for Friday drop off (1:30-6pm). I can wake up early and stay up as late as needed if frequent walks are needed. My apartment will be your pet’s little hotel for their stay, with room service and activities included! I have no other pets, so they will have the place to themselves. Whether your dog is high energy and needs some stairs to let out their zoomies, or low energy and needs a cozy corner with some sunlight to bask in, my place can adapt to any pet’s needs. I will be sure to give your pets attention, cuddles, and playtime throughout the day, and they are allowed to sleep wherever they find the comfiest in the apartment. Any specified feeding/walking times will be honored and if there’s any deviation from the usual schedule for any reason, you will be notified in advance. Also happy to send you video/photo updates of their stay!

“Brijana is totally amazing with my cats. I’ve used while away on holiday twice now and she is the absolute best. I will always request her services when I travel!”
“We appreciate Mary’s timeliness and care for our dogs. She stayed a little extra time to walk both dogs as storms delayed the walks. Much appreciated coming home to the dogs being well cared for!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Merchantville
Brineydi has been such a life saver with our new puppy Roux ! We never used Rover before her and honestly feel like we've hit the jackpot for pupcare. She does drop in visits to let our dog out and play. She's always punctual, communicative, and I LOVE receiving the detailed updates/photos with every visit. Briyendi is becoming one of Roux's favorite parts of the day 😌🐾
Chelsea took such great care of my kitties! I kind of had a lot of instructions because of one cat’s medical issues and I really appreciate that she left detailed notes about this. She also sent lots of reassuring photos. I feel great knowing my kitties are in good hands with her!
We can't say enough about how happy we were with Brianna's care of our pets. We have 5 indoor cats and 2 ferals in our household. The twice daily (AM and PM) responsibilities included giving one of the cats 2 medications daily, multiple feeding instructions for wet and dry foods, and litter maintenance. Brianna provided thorough communication and photos on all visits. Notably, Brianna demonstrated keen observational skills and diligence by contacting us when it appeared someone had been to the house between her visits (it was a family member who had stopped by to pick up something). It became clear that Brianna is not just smart and dependable, she really loved our cats and took care of them as if they were her own. We would not hesitate to have Brianna take care of them in the future.
Emilyann was great with Luke, and he seemed to really look forward to her visits. I am thrilled that they got along so well. I am delighted to have Emilyann take care of Luke in his own home, where he's most relaxed! Emilyann is great with animals, very calm and confident! I will utilize her skills again!
Very well deserved star sitter status!! Gokhan and Sue were so great with our three cats. They were prompt, detail oriented, and provided thorough updates with lots of pictures. But above all else, they were so gentle and caring with our cats. Will definitely be booking with them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Merchantville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 9,374 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Merchantville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
