“Molly was amazing! Went to Jersey shore for 2 weeks and she handled EVERYTHING! Feedings, extra walks, picking up the mail… she was above and beyond. Great at communicating and lots of photos and details. Always on time. So responsible and mature.”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.
“Elizabeth was fantastic with my two cats, Roxie and Stormie! She was so patient with our skittish girl, Stormie, and still gave plenty of love and attention to Roxie. I will definitely be booking her for future visits!”
“Ally is friendly, professional, and most importantly great with our dogs! One of our dogs is very nervous and doesn’t take kindly to strangers but he warmed up quickly to her. We would definitely recommend Ally!”
“Leah was absolutely fantastic! She was so professional and thorough in her care of my cats, Kawhi and Kimchi. I loved the daily updates with several fun and cute pictures. I felt completely at ease knowing my boys were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Wayne was incredibly helpful with taking care of our rabbits and dog! He was proactive about asking if they needed medication (which they did) and a strong communicator about timing. Thank you again!”
“Danielle was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! We had to leave out of state suddenly and with extremely short notice she was available to come meet our two boys and step in as their caretaker while we were away. She was always prompt, responsive, and left me feeling extremely confident that our cats were in the best of hands. Absolutely would recommend!!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. A black lab was my first nanny, and I have baby photos of me sharing my food from my high chair. Friends and family have always relied on me to pet sit their pups when away, and I have both had senior dogs and taken care of friend’s seniors. I’d love to help take care of your fur babies! I work at a school during the day, but during the summer I am available before 8am and after 2:30pm M-Th, with open availability Fri-Sun. I will discuss needs and safety with clients in advance. I am happy to come to your home and follow any instructions you have to keep everyone secure and content.
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. They were happy with her for every visit and always gave me updates, she seems to take great care for both of them and I would love to make her my cat sitter again!”
“Sarah visited my Dorothy cat every morning and always made sure I knew she was there with pictures and updates. In the past when I was away Dorothy would stress and over groom herself. Not this time. Sarah bonded so well with her and Dorothy was relaxed and happy. I will surely want Sarah to care for her again if I am away for awhile.”
“Emily was fantastic! So loving with my babies and flexible when I requested an extra check on them in the middle of my trip. Knowledgeable and helpful with my Kiki’s asthma and provided me education and suggestions! My babies are happy and were well cared for, and I felt at ease my whole vacation ❤️”
“Alexis took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a family wedding!!! I had just recently moved, and my cat is still traumatized by the move. Alexis ensured that he was eating and drinking. And she provided continuous updates, which helped my anxiety about leaving him. Thanks to Alexis I was able to enjoy the wedding!! I won’t hesitate to reach out to Alexis if I need a sitter again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years and I also work at a doggy day care. I’m very comfortable and experienced with handling a lot of dogs at once, as well as different sizes, ages, breeds and temperaments. I also have experience caring for sick or injured dogs. On top of dogs, I have experience caring for cats, birds and reptiles. I am currently finishing my psychology degree, and then moving on to my veterinary technician degree. My dream is to work with animals, and I’m eager for more experience to grow my resume! I work Tuesday-Friday, with Thursday and Friday being my longer shifts (8 hours). If your dog is okay being alone for that period of time, or if you only need me for one night, I am completely willing to board those nights! If not, I am completely available the whole day Saturday-Monday. Most of my dog sitting experience has been dog and house sitting in the clients home. I am a very clean and respectful guest, and I feel being at home makes it easier on the dogs when their parents are gone. Being in an unfamiliar place with a person they don’t know can be stressful, overstimulating and anxiety inducing for many dogs. My biggest priority is not only the safety and health but the happiness of the dogs I watch.

“Shannon did a great job with my dog! She was happy when I got home from work. The pictures made my day while I was at work. Will definitely use Shannon again in the near future”
“I really appreciate Devon and her interest in getting to know my dogs and me! We did a meet and greet before the first booking and she spent so much time interacting with my dogs and didn’t care that their behavior was less than desirable (jumping / excited). It was so easy communicating with Devon about booking and made sure to ask all the right questions. She was prompt with arrival and took ample pics of my dogs. I would love to use Devon again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
Julia has watched our cats, Remy and Daphne, twice now and she is so great! She is super responsive to messages, respectful of our home, and so caring with the cats. She captures the funniest pictures of them while we're away, and the cats seem so happy when she's here. I would absolutely recommend Julia!
Dion took fantastic care of our cat and dog when dropping in for a walk, or playtime, or putting them to bed! My wife and I loved getting her notes and photos with each Drop-In visit and we could tell the pets both loved her care (although our cat needed a few visits to warm up). I would recommend Dion to any and all of my friends for any pet sitting needs!
Madeline was great with all 3 of my cats! She provided communication throughout the weekend, sent me lots of pictures which I really appreciated and even took the time to wash all of my cats dishes. Would highly recommend and am planning on rebooking in the near future!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Wally! Shandara visited twice a day for a week, took excellent care of him, kept everything clean, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing in my packages and a large delivery. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and communication. I would absolutely book Shandara again and highly recommend her!
As always, Zack is the best and I will be devastated if he ever moves away 😂. He takes such good care of our very particular and high maintenance cat - esp with her medical complications, and he’s always willing to brainstorm with me. He has our total trust. Thanks, Z!
Ashley was an impeccable sitter for my kitties while I was travelling for 2 weeks and if you’re looking for a pet sitter, no need to look any further. I would 100% recommend her! I had a last-minute change of plans and she was super accommodating. She did a phenomenal job bonding with and taking care of my cats and you can tell she really cares. She also sent pictures and updates which was really helpful while I was so far away.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lulu!!! And I’m so sorry about the trouble with her, although we were laughing our heads off about that!! You went above and beyond for cleaning up and everything, you really didn’t have to do all that but thank you we so appreciate it!!! Hope to have you back again many more times if you’re willing to put up with her haha!! She is happy and purring now so I know she was well taken care of even if she didn’t show it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Merion Station on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,603 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Merion Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Merion Station. 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.
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.
