“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.
“Emily did a nice job with the kitties. She sent photos each morning which I always love to see. She followed the instructions which seemed like a lot when I was writing them because each cat has a different diet. I will use again in the near future!”
“Amy took very good care of our kitten, played a lot with him and made sure he was happy. She communicates a lot, which was reassuring for us. We highly recommend her and will be happy to work with her next time we'll have to leave town.”
“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!”
“Danielle is excellent. I am very particular about my cat and how he is treated. I am also very particular about clearing his liter and the space around the liter. My cat was very happy when I returned and my house was as clean as if I did it myself. I would most certainly recommend Danielle and will absolutely use her again!”
“I highly recommend Alyssa and her PUP to take care of your dog. She is conscientious and thorough in every way. She even gave a dog a bath after going to the park and playing extensively. This is our second time using her and we will continue to do so when needed. Thank you for loving on Finley and giving him a playmate!”
“joy took such amazing care of my miss jade! she including so many great pictures and videos of the whole visit. jade absolutely loved her and joy provided her with all the lovings in the world! i would highly recommend her to anyone and will most definitely be booking again! thank you so much again🥰🫶🏻”
“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 ❤️”
“I always have peace of mind having Sara take care of our cat, Rusty! She goes above and beyond. I am so sure Rusty looks forward to her visit and doesn’t mind us being away 🤗. Thank you, Sara.”
“Madeline was reliable, efficient, caring, and respectful. She cleaned dishes my cats used without me asking, clean us the unexpected messes the cats made, and provided updates with pictures throughout the process. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience”
“Amanda has cared for our 13yo senior dog twice now, latest being a period of 10 days. We have been impressed by the thorough and thoughtful visit check-ins, and the daily bonding with Rufio. The biggest testimony of Amanda kindness is Rufio's tail wag when he sees her! Thank you again”
“She is an amazing sitter! If I could give her 6/5 stars I would. She was so friendly and sent sweet messages and photos during her visits. Her love for animals showed. I could tell that she really enjoyed caring for my 100 lb Dane! (He actually might like her more than me now!)”
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.
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.
“Alexis came through last minute on a holiday and did a great job taking care of our 3 month old pup. She got to our home early, listened to all our instructions, and handed our house back in one piece lol.”
“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
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.
Kimberly took such great care of my two kitties at extremely short notice. She was super communicative throughout her visits, which I appreciated being away from my babies, and followed my instructions to a T. I highly recommend Kimberly and will be using her services in the future!! ☺️
Nancy was wonderful! My boys loved her and she was able to adapt to a lot of challenging situations (my landlord changed the locks, pete needed additional medication halfway through, insulin, IBD flare). She was extremely communicative and I cannot recommend enough!
Julia is very nice and personable. She was very responsible in coming on a regular basis, twice a day, to take care of my two cats and was diligent on sending photographs! I would recommend Julia. I feel like my cats were well taken care of and seemed happy when I returned.
Joy was very responsible and kept me updated with lots of pics & videos. She always made sure my cats were well taken care of and would often stay a little longer to play with them and give them some extra attention. I really appreciated how caring and reliable she was and would definitely book her again!

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.

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.
