“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“The BEST boarding in the Philly suburbs area. Yuiko kept us updated and was very flexible when my flight was cancelled and delayed. Sam loves staying with Yuiko. Thank you Yuiko, we will be back next time!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Rebecca! She was incredibly welcoming and kind to my standard poodle Sasha, who can be standoffish with new people at times, but seemed to have fully made herself at home, looking very comfortable and content in practically every photo I saw. Sasha definitely has some quirks and fears, but Rebecca was very patient and generous with her space and time to make Sasha feel safe. Would definitely book again!”
“I was incredibly greatful Donte was able to watch Marley very last minute after someone else cancelled 2 days before and another ghosted me after agreeing. Marley has never stayed outside our house, so I (and Marley) was so nervous, but he seemed just perfect.”
“Kristina does such a great job with Oli, who clearly loves hanging out at her home while we are away. Kristina sends lots of pictures of her long daily walks and playtime at home.”
“Juliana was a great sitter for my pug, Riggins! Riggins stayed multiple nights at her house and constantly gave updates and pictures of all the fun he was having. I would highly recommend and would use Juliana again!”
“Bryce was incredible! This was Thor’s first time away from us and I was just as anxious as he was. Bryce did a wonderful job of putting us both at ease. The photos and updates during the day was greatly appreciated. Thank you Bryce!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“Nicolle was amazing with our new puppy! We have only had her for 2 weeks, so we were nervous about leaving her with a sitter, but Nicolle put us at ease. She was prompt in her responses both prior to the booking and during the booking and sent photos. Our pup came back happy and well cared for”
“Christin was amazing! I was a little worried because my puppy (Kiwi) is still very timid and suspicious of strangers, but Christin was very understanding and confident, that it was clear she's worked with difficult dogs before. She kept us informed of all the progress and we know Kiwi ended up relaxing and having a great time. Totally recommended and would totally rebook. Thank you!”
“Rhea did an amazing job taking care of Tommy and providing me updates throughout his stay. He was extremely happy from what I can tell, and seemed to enjoy his time with Rhea. Thanks again!!!”
“Wonderful communication with lots of pictures. Bailey looked very happy. ELectra was very understanding and stayed up late when our plane was very delayed. It could not have been a better experience.”
“Tamikia is so kind and dependable. And my dog seriously did not want to leave when I came to pick her up. I got photos and videos every day, and Tamikia was available before my trip to do a meet and greet at her house. My dog has dietary issues and sometimes comes home with an upset stomach when she is boarded with someone who has dogs and/or cats because of getting into someone else's food but that was not the case this time. I am going to book with Tamikia for my next trip!”
“This was my first time boarding my 11 month old puppy. They were wonderful with her, she enjoyed herself and they frequently sent pictures of her so I wouldn’t be worried.”
“Mary was an incredible dog watcher! I got multiple updates throughout the day with very cute pictures included. My dog needed to take medicine on a schedule and Mary made sure to communicate each time a dose was given. I could not have asked for a better host for my fur baby! 10/10 would recommend”
“Emelie was flexible with drop off and pick up times, which was very helpful. We got daily pics and updates on how Tatum was doing, Emelie was very communicative which was comforting. Nice house, and yard, so I’m sure Tatum had a good stay.”
“Yulia and Kevin were great pet sitters and I would definitely rebook with them! Yulia kept me updated with pics of Louie and gave updates throughout the day. She also was very accommodating when I had to drop him off later than I anticipated. I can’t wait to book with them again for my future dog sitting needs 🐾☺️”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Merion Station is $55
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
Shayla was wonderful with our anxious dog, Pypke. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and knowledgeable about dog behavior. She asked thoughtful questions during our meet and greet and took great care to make sure Pypke would be comfortable with the other dog she was watching. When I picked Pypke up, he was happy and relaxed. I feel reassured knowing he’s in such good hands with Shayla.
We’ve had a great experience with our sitter! He provides regular updates and is incredibly comfortable and confident handling our 120 lb Bullmastiff, Kaaze, who is convinced he’s a lap dog. He really goes out of his way to make Kaaze feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Kaaze is always excited to go to his house, which says a lot. It gives us great peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who understands how to handle a large dog and genuinely enjoys having him around. Highly recommend!
Scott was wonderful and my dog had the best time with him and his posse of dogs! The other dogs he was watching at the time were very friendly and Scott did a great job introducing them and making sure they were comfortable together. He sent lots of pics during the stay and I know my dog had unbelievable attention, exercise and love! We can’t wait to go away again so we can send Hoagie to his new favorite place!
This was my first time ever using this service, so of course I was a little nervous at first! Deseree made it so easy! everything went so smoothly! she took such great cate of my puppy Kane while I was out of town! she filled me in daily with pictures! she took Kane on multiple daily walks he was such a happy boy when I picked him up! I cant thank her enough! I will definitely rebook with her over and over again!
Danielle and Wade went above and beyond caring for Mila while we were overseas for 2 weeks! They cared so much about her own schedule and keeping her comfortable while meshing her into their everyday lives and home with Marn! They kept us updated with pictures and letting us know how she was doing. Couldn't recommend them more for your pet!
10 STARS, Chris & Gab are amazing.!! Communication from start to finish was well above my expectation, which made me feel comfortable leaving my precious little girl in their care. Photo updates (great shots!) were also plentiful. Their location/home is perfect for any pup, and they're well prepared with toys and bowls to help make my life easier when I pack for my pups stay with them. I have another booking with Gab/Chris in the near future and I feel stress free knowing Savannah with be in their care!
Provided a fun enjoyable environment for our boy and they were very communicative. They sent us daily updates and pictures, some of which were quite entertaining, arguably some of the better ones we’ve received from Rover sitters! Our dog is incredibly affectionate, and they rose to the occasion with plenty of cuddles!
Madison was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She sent us lots of photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it clear how much love and attention she was giving him. He looked so happy and was having the best time! Communication was clear, frequent, and easy from start to finish, and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. It was such a relief knowing he was in such caring hands while we were away. We’re so grateful to Madison and would absolutely trust her with him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family!
Best dog sitter ever! Samantha was so wonderful with my dog Tino. This was my first experience using Rover and she exceeded my expectations! My dog quickly became best buds with her well behaved pup, Goose. The communication was great. She sent a bunch of photos/ updates of Tino through the day of them playing & cuddling; which also made me feel better about leaving him with a sitter for the first time! I really trust her with my dog and I can tell that he was loved while being taken cared for by them! I really appreciate her for accommodating my last minute booking as well! Needless to say, I will definitely be using Sam again for my future trips and will be recommending her to all my family/friends! Don’t hesitate to book with Sam, you will love her and Goose !!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Merion Station can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Merion Station home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Merion Station.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Merion Station sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
