“We would 100% rebook with Christin! Everything was so smooth and friendly that we know that Finn had an amazing time. Loads of updates and super fast communication. Thanks again for taking in Finn :)”
“Rhea and her husband were absolutely incredible! They were so accommodating and communicative throughout the entire sitting. They sent constant picture updates, kept me informed about potty breaks, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure my pup was comfortable. Most impressively, they always responded in under a minute—such peace of mind. This was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had on Rover, and I’m so glad we connected. They’re true professionals who are clearly passionate about what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable care.”
“Yuiko was great! I'm a overprotective dog mom and my dogs are my world. I moved from Chicago and had to find a sitter. Im picky and don't choose just anyone to babysit my pups. Yuiko is the best! She's very great in communication and gives you updates on how their sleeping, eating, etc. And her kids are very sweet. I can tell from the photos my pups were having a blast! 100% A+++ safe, reliable and very sweet! I'll definitely be using her service again.”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“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!”
“I was very nervous to use boarding at sitter’s house where I’ve never known as a first pet owner. When I met Emelie couple days ago to board at her house, my puppy was very get along with her well behaved dogs,Andy, Lily and Emelie. Also, Emelie was very welcoming us. She has lots of experiences from puppies to old dogs. She is a truly pets lover! At the day of boarding, Emelie sent lots of pictures and messages how my puppy is doing and I could know she spent lots of time and keep an eye on my baby. Emelie has very good size fenced yard, so three dogs(her Andy and Lily, my Casey) can run around and play really good. I always have had stress what I’m going to do when my family goes away short time or vacation. I didn’t want to use pet hotel or inexperienced petsitter with poor environment. I was extremely lucky to find Emelie at the last moment. I sent message to several sitters who available on that day I needed, but all of them said that they were not available on that weekend or they don’t want to sit 5months old puppy. One of sitters never responded me. Luckily, I found Emelie at the very last moment and she was willing to have sitting my baby at her house overnight. When we picked up Casey and turned engine on, Casey kept looking her house. She seemed really enjoyed with two other friends and Emelie. I strongly recommend Emelie to everyone. I would definitely go back to her.”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“Rebecca took great care of Lula and kept us updated daily with photos and information. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We really appreciate her experience and if she would have Lula back we would love to call upon her again.”
“Jen and family took great care of Penny. Penny was excited to return to their house for her stay with them, after the meet and greet. Jen sent photos and updates every day and we knew Penny was getting plenty of lap time and love. Penny came home happy and we feel very fortunate to have found Jen!”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“Rachel took amazing care our dog! He's a little, old dog with various issues and she made sure he was comfortable and happy. We look forward to booking with Rachel again soon.”
“Kristina was awesome! She sent daily updates and pictures which I really appreciated, took Mika on daily walks, and really made me feel like she gave her special attention and care! We look forward to using Kristina in the future!”
“Virginia was an amazing Rover for our 2 dogs, Cleo and Louis! They seemed incredibly comfortable and loved in their few days with her. Virginia sent us photos and made sure to keep us updated on how they were doing.”
“This was the first time we used Rover to board our boy Frankie, so I didn’t know what exactly to expect. Michell was very responsive via text, provided ample status photos of our dogs stay. This put me at ease and made me feel comfortable leaving Frankie with him. It was also a trial run to see how Frankie would do overnight at someone else’s house. He did great, Michell and Tiago took great care and we will be using them again for future longer stays! I highly recommend!”
“Where to begin? I’m traditionally a mess when I have to leave my little man to travel for my job. Or should I say I used to be a mess. And then Juliana entered our lives and my stress vanished. Could not have been a better experience. Spoiled our little guy while he was there and keep me in the loop with adorable photos at every step. Very grateful for Rover helping make this connection.”
“Zyiana is an excellent sitter. Sent daily updates and pictures of my dog. He seemed very happy during his stay. I highly recommend and will book again!”
“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!”
“Eric did a wonderful job watching our senior dog! We received updates on our dog's stay and we look forward to booking with Eric again. Highly recommend!”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
“Carismeldi watched my pup Prada from Friday to Sunday and she was great. She kept me in the loop with pics and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Prada looked happy, comfortable, and totally at ease the whole time. She was easy to communicate with, super sweet, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I’d definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a solid sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
We had a wonderful experience with Christin. She was attentive, and clearly cared for our dogs as if they were her own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We truly appreciated Christin’s professionalism, kindness, and excellent communication. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we look forward to booking with her again!
Christina was absolutely amazing with my dog and I felt so comfortable leaving her in her hands while I was away. I got tons of photo updates and she was always very responsive when I messaged. I am booking her again immediately for my next weekend away! Truly cannot recommend her enough!
Samantha took excellent care of Lina for the 5 days I was out of town. I appreciated her willingness to arrange a meet-up prior to the booking as well as her flexibility and understanding when my departure was pushed back a couple hours. Communication was great throughout the stay. Samantha sent pictures and updates daily. I could tell Lina was happy and having a great time, playing with Samantha's dog Petunia, taking walks, exploring the yard, and cuddling on the couch. I would not hesitate to book Samantha in the future.
Deseree took great care of Chloe! She kept me updated with daily photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even let me drop Chloe off the night before so I wouldn’t have to worry about it the morning of my flight. She’s very sweet, and I would definitely trust her to watch Chloe again!
Rebecca is awesome! She took care of our elderly dog like it was her own. We really appreciated it. She followed all our instructions and gave us updates and cute pics everyday. It really put our minds at ease. This is a sitter that you can tell, she cares. She was also very flexible and accomodating with our pick up and drop off. Thank you so much for taking care of our Lilly. Our dog was so calm and relaxed when we picked her up. We'll definitely book with Rebecca again in the future.
Haleigh was absolutely fantastic! My dog is a little anxious so we set up the meet and greet where Haleigh explained everything and introduced my pup with hers. The entire time of my trip, I was provided with updates and pictures. Instead of making decisions if she was unsure, Haleigh would reach out and ask such as ,adding cheese to the dry food to make it a little more enticing for my anxious girl. Could not recommend Haleigh more! Super simple drop off and pick up! We even for a complementary dog biscuit for the road!
Melanie took amazing care of our two pups during their three-week stay! They both had such a wonderful time.It was obvious Heidi missed her new friend, Pippa. Melanie was also incredibly responsive and understanding with our Rex, who gets anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our fur babies were safe, loved, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Melanie again!
Kristin was amazing and our boy Sherman had the best time with her and her family. She was extremely communicative and attentive, and provided so many photos of our little guy throughout the weekend so we didn’t have to worry about him. It’s hard leaving your pup with someone new and she made it as easy as it could be.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Merion Station on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,331 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Merion Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Merion Station sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Merion Station landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
Tip: 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.
