“Cece is very sweet. She followed all of my directions and took care of our kittens while we were briefly out of town. She also managed to impress our one kitten who is apprehensive of strangers. She sent pictures which we greatly appreciated. Thank you again!”
“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.”
“Another great sitting experience with Sara!! Our kitties were so well taken care of and were very happy when we came home - it was like we never left. We feel so secure knowing we have a sitter we can trust, especially with kitties. We are also super grateful she offered holiday bookings - it was great to get some extra holiday time with family for the first time in literal years 🙏🏻🩷 thank you SO much, Sara!!”
“I booked Wojciech for a drop in visit with my dog Crew. He came over to meet Crew a couple of days before the drop in visit date. They got along great. On the date of the visit he notified me that he was there and everything was fine. He sent me pictures of Crew and he looked happy. I will definitely be booking with Wojciech again!”
“Mey is the absolute best. So patient and kind with our guy, and very thoughtful and professional with us. You can sense the compassion and mutual respect, and we have loved every minute of having her drop in. Thank you so!”
“Amanda is the best! She is so responsive, provides detailed updates, and takes lots of photos ❤️ My three cats were clearly well taken care of and received lots of love while I was away.”
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.
“Shannon was amazing with my dog Duke. I was honestly very nervous having to get a dog sitter for the first time since my dog isn’t the best with strangers but Shannon was awesome with him!”
“Leah looked after our two cats when we were on a ten day vacation, and she was fabulous! It was clear that instead of just administering medications and then leaving, she spent time giving them cuddles, and we really enjoyed the photos she sent of our cats being their predictable selves. We would definitely hire her 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.
“Madeline was wonderful. She tended to my fearful cat while I was away and by the 3rd day, Tini was eating a Churu from her hand. Would absolutely hire again”
About: I know what it’s like to worry about your fur babies when you're away from home, which is why I strive to provide top-notch daytime care. Whether I'm popping in for a drop-in visit or taking them out for some fresh air, my services include: feeding and medication per the pet parent’s instructions, plenty of walks, play time, and lots of cuddles (if they’re okay with that!) with photo updates throughout my visit. As an animal shelter volunteer, I especially have experience with cats, including kittens as young as 2 weeks old. Since I have recently moved to Philadelphia my availability is now completely open, which works out perfectly for scheduling visits! Any scheduling discrepancies will be communicated ASAP. My approach to pet care is centered on safety and maintaining a stress-free routine. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by double checking locks and removing potential hazards.
“Extremely reliable and communicative! My dog has anxiety when we leave. Jeff went above and beyond to make her as comfortable as possible including staying at our house overnight and additional check-ins during the day. I would recommend Jeff to everyone looking for a safe, reliable person for their pets.”
“My kitties loved Tina! She kept me updated with photos and was easy to communicate with before during and after the booking. We would 100% recommend her as a sitter and look forward to booking again. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was caring for the kitties.”
“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.”
“Amy was stellar. More than what I'd hoped for on a first Rover experience. Communicative, proactive, and very attentive to our boys. To her credit, she suggested an intro phone call to get clear on expectations and desires, which we loved. And, loved the care that went into the Rover report card photo albums each day!”
“Jordan has been phenomenal with my puppy! He's very communicative and gives great recaps, this is so important when you’re trying to train and create a routine with a puppy. I’m so glad to have him helping us, my dog Leroy and I both are thankful for his service!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
Amanda was amazing - they took great care of our very old cat and obviously had experience with older pets. They spent quality time with our cat and sent a ton of pictures and information on how he was doing. They also cleaned up and went above and beyond cleaning up food, littler which we really appreciated! Thank you! Would defiantly book again for pet care.
Lenise was great with my two cats! Even through an emergency she had during the first day of sitting, she was communicative and was able to get back to the sitting as normal from the second day to the last. I came home from my week away to a clean and somewhat orderly apartment (I know my cats were throwing non stop parties in my small studio). I would book with Lenise again!
My cats and I love Madeline! She is so sweet and very dependable. Being a whole ocean away from my cats was nerve wracking, but I felt very safe with them in her care. She earned the trust of even my shy cat, and kept me updated on things that seemed off (ie no poop in a litter box one day). She also sends so many of the best and cutest photos ♥️ I will definitely be booking her again and would recommend to anyone who needs a reliable sitter.

As of September 2026, there are 4,599 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.

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.
